I don't think it much matters where the balls are made at. I use morich stuff and its manufactured in Mexico, designed by Mo but I guess Big B pours them. I haven't seen any issues with the Nsanes really as far as quality. I guess we will see when the Solid LevRG starts hitting pro shops this week or whenever.

The "Made in Mexico" sticker they're putting on the equipment is so big, lol.

I'd rather have a ball that says "Made in Mexico" on the box, then a ball that says "Lane #1" on the box....

For you car guys out there....

Do you guys know what the most produced vehicle in America is???

If you guessed, chevy, ford, or dodge your wrong.

If you guessed Toyota... DING DING...

Lots of things are made out of the country but are still great. Just about eveything is made in an alternative country. Just how America works.

So, really Americans don't want to do the labor when we could just pay someone else to do it!! Gah we are so lazy...but boy does it feel good! lol

All of the clear balls are made overseas.  Always have been.  Most plastic balls are made overseas as well, from all companies.

The Brunswick balls out of Mexico are the highest quality balls I have ever seen being produced by the company. I was having issues with Brunswick quality before the move, and only ordered in if a customer specifically requested the ball.

Since the move, I am starting to gain interest in restocking the balls. I've drilled quite a few twisted furys, and not had an issue with any of them.

Great job Brunswick.

they were having such quality issues in the mexico plant that they literally were throwing away (as in straight to the garbage) about 1 in 3 balls that came off the line...  they were cracking in shipment cuz of environmental variables related to cure time of the resins and etc....  its getting better, but don't discount how many problems they had with that move...  fwiw, the guy that engineered that has been moved to a different job inside the company...  the balls made in muskegon were of much higher quality...  the products people were not happy with that transition...  it cost them a TON of money that they haven't made back yet...  oh well, what's done is done...  no goin back now...

I remember a guy posting not long ago about straws being in the ball sticking out of ball, he was going to post pictures but I thing one of the Brunswick guys asked him not to. I would have liked to see the pictures, just curious

shelley, maybe all the clear balls are being made in china. my point is that the people who are bashing the "unamerican made" brunswick balls need to remember that there are other bowling balls that are not made in this country. there are several guys in my men's scratch league who constantly spout off about how "i wouldn't own a car not made in this country" or "damn chinese are taking our jobs"------yet both of these guys throw a clear hammer black widow.
