Who makes Elite?
« on: March 23, 2011, 11:34:25 PM »
I was out of the pro shop biz for a couple years, opening again this passed October.  Brunswick was pouring Elite 3 years ago.  Now they are made in China?  I pushed Elite products some in my previous shop because of my friendships with a couple of Elite's owner/employees.  How is the quality with the Chinese made balls?  Any other issues.  TIA!

Brunswick used to make them. Now as Tekneek says, they come off 900Global's assembly line, as far as I know.

Still the same formula, however..

 

Take older G900 cover and use G900 cores then overprice the ball..

 

That's how they roll...


Yes. it's I, the Inverted One..

The Elite Sabotage is made in China.  Sticker on the ball and box.  I just drilled/sold a Sabotage a couple weeks ago.  I was just wondering.
