I think the made in Mexico gets the bad rap when it was more about the same time Brunswick quit having the best cover stocks on the market formula wise. For example my mexican made PK17 Slingshot is just what the doctor ordered in the dry house. Its more the coverstock formula than where it was made (especially after Mexican plant had been running for a few years, getting kinks out). Will be honest though and say when a ball is available made in the USA from back in the day I am willing to pay more for it. As for today, Big B have some good stuff such as balls listed above (do like my newer Quantums as well) but the Ross Dress for Less comment on here was a bit of a burn.
