MrBowlingnut, your information is totally off base. The Jolts and Tropicals are being made by Columbia, but they are in fact our cores and our covers. Our chemists went down there to set up the product lines, our materials have been shipped down there, and it is all of our materials that make up these balls. The only thing Columbia is doing is "assembling" the balls.
With our facility being a little smaller, it took a lot of time to change production lines. We were running multiple shifts in order to keep up, while Columbia had 2 extra product lines sitting dormant. This was we can focus on the mid-price up through the high-end and continue to bring you quality products
I know that there have been a lot of rumors floating around about Columbia making our balls, and we have even discussed this at many trade shows. The problem is that when somebody without all the facts starts rampant rumors, it snowballs into something ugly. The easiest thing to do is always ask somebody that would know the truth
