Since Brunswicks Move to mexico?
« on: January 05, 2006, 09:13:16 AM »
This may be a question more for pro shop guys. Have you found it hard to get some Brunswick balls lately? Rampages, Vapor Zones Etc? Seems more and more distributors are being out of stock of Brunswick balls more than I remember before?


What has been your experience?

They haven't moved yet...Back when the move was first announced, they said it would be 1-2 years before the new plant opens...

The reason you are having problems with proshops keeping them in stock is because everyone is buying them so fast that they can't keep them on the shelf.

I've been having problems getting 15# Strike Zones, Vapors, and Rampages lately.

The plant will be shutting down soon, so I'm guessing that some of the workers aren't exactly giving 100% to resolve the backorders.

Hey Ric,

will there be a distinguishing trait on the balls or box to show it was made in Reynoso?

Just a guess, but probably they'll say "Made in Mexico".

You mean something besides the engraving on the ball that says "Made in Mexico"?

If it's a particle ball, being multi-colored is probably a sure sign.
