Good & trusted ball drillers can be hard to find, however, I believe it's time to find a new one!!

Does he refuse to drill the Storm balls made in China too?  Tell the knucklehead to read the labels on all his clothes and shoes before taking his stance...  Take your business elsewhere.  Easy decision.

Wow not sure id heard a proshop doing that before. To each their own. For most ignorance is bliss. Most people are truly unaware most of their products aren't made in the U.S.

Kudos to those pro shop operators who refuse to drill balls manufactured overseas.
Buy American, and oppose those in Congress and the White House who insist in
shipping jobs overseas.

Considering the American work force overseas is my first choice on many things.

     It's a pro shops choice. Guess they do not want income that bad. Since Brunswick left U.S for cheap labor, I changed. Do I stock Brunswick - No. do I sell Brunswick- Yes. Do I drill Brunswick -Yes. When they moved my sales dropped off significantly in their products. I could not give away the products they sent me when I was on their program. Hard to stock what does not sell. But a sale is a sale. Does not matter if I make $50 on a new ball that I stock and sell or $50 on drilling a ball that someone brings into me. In today's economy beggars can't be choosers.

As a pro shop guy, if there's a product I that will benefit my customers, I'll sell it.

BTW, those lower mid price Brunswick balls are amazing.

Strike King, Ringer(s), LT48 vintage  are amazing. For hp the Mastermind Intellect is a beast. For most bowlers mid to lower performance equipment from any manufacture can do wonders for them on most conditions they face.

To many the fact of where a product is made is a big deal...and it's that persons right to feel that no matter what anyone else believes...

Does it seem odd that most voice that opinion only after a bowling manufacturer moves to Mexico? As mentioned many do not seem to notice their plastic ball (or just choose to ignore it) is made overseas or many of the other items they choose to use/buy.

I agree it's a choice and well deserved. I don't find it sincere by many posting from devices not made nearly as close as Mexico. Or that leave and go outside and get in there Volvo to leave the bowling alley. Then consider where most shoes and clothes are made and it becomes as funny as saying hybrid coverstock.

I'm not a fan of their stuff being made in Mexico, but they're stuff lately is really hard to ignore and I actually have a Guru on order.

I don't understand why a pro shop would turn away a sale though... but to each their own.
