Tech-Line manufactured every weight block used in Brunswick balls made in the Muskegon plant, this includes MoRich and Lane #1 when Brunswick poured them. Tech-Line has made blocks for just about everyone in the industry at one point or another. So even tho the MOTIV brand is new, the people behind it have a few decades of experience in the bowling industry.
Scott Wilbur has been President of Tech-Line products for years, and they were in effect a sub-contractor for Brunswick. His father originally started the company.
When Brunswick went to Mexico, that relationship was severed. Tech-Line stayed put in Michigan and launched the MOTIV brand. 14 months and 7 balls later they have a fantastic offering.
