"You know you guys are like fare weather fans of your so called favorite sports teams. You're all yeaa if their winning or raggin' on them if they suck for a couple of years. I hope everyone here is into realization. Virtually nothing you use in everyday life is 100% American. So what!!, if Brunswick is moving, that's a corporate business decision that is not going to be affected by less than 5% of their consumers, whereas they make 100's of products not just coverstocks of balls. The gasoline we use is not 100% american!! We don't have plentiful oil in the U.S. to provide for excessive use. You guys are makin' a mountain out of a mohill. LANE #1 is still an American co. which has created a magnificent line of balls that have been used for years, and are really in the last 3years becoming real popular.I am a SAWMAN for life unless LANE #1 themselves move to another country. a coverstock is material. The clothes you wear are materials from overseas companies. So now you're going to walk around naked or with American grown fig leaves???!!!! Get a grip people our cars aren't 100% American and if you think so you better ask somebody. I'm done and i'm outie......>>>>>>>>THERE IS ONLY LANE #1 (F.O.S. member)"

I was trying to stay out of this conversation, but I have something to say.
The gasoline thing is totally different. It comes down to SUPPLY and DEMAND here partner. Gasoline comes from other countries (supply), and the US citizens need it for various reasons (demand). great demand, little supply near by to use
Brunswick is but one manufacturer. There are others available (supply), and bowlers(these folks have the "demand" for bowling equipment) can get equipment from these other manufacturers . great demand, and great supply near by to use.
Lane#1 can stay with Brunswick coverstocks, and if people choose to change ball companies then that is their choice. If Lane#1 sales are impacted then I am sure they will make a change if they deem it necessary.
Just remember this. Currently Lane#1 is an american company supporting another american company.
