Well it looks very contradicting....with the all white logos, im inclined to say ebi...but from what I remember their relationship isnt the best.  I bet its big B, or 900g

Re-edited (I confused Bowlers Paradise with BowlingBall {sorry}):
Bowlers Paradise Elite brand: Big B used to pour their balls, then they moved to 900G, then they moved to Asia (either Korea or China, if I recall).

BowlingBall.com's Pyramid brand I don't know who pours their Pyramid brand.

Big B used to pour their Elite brand balls, then they moved to 900G, then they moved to Asia (either Korea or China, if I recall). I don't know who pours their Pyramid brand, but I don't believe it is Brunswick.

Bowlingball.com has always had a good relationship with Brunswick. They even got them to reproduce the old Quantum balls exclusively. I don't know who pours the Pyramid balls , but I wouldn't be surprised by either Brunswick or 900G. The Elite balls were owned and produced for Bowlersdream.com, not Bowlingball.com.

Anyone else notice they happened to give this ball a 224.0 on their perfect scale, one of the highest scores I've come across. I'msure this is totally unbiased of course...

All that said, they look pretty good. For the price, I might be willing to try one.

Just to clear some misinformation-

Not all Elite balls are from China.  Of the Current 5 only the Espionage is. (not that it matters where the balls come from, just want to inform those who think they know)

Elite has nothing to do with bowlersdream.com or bowlingball.com

To the best of my knowledge Pyramind is bowlingball.com's brand.  I do not know if anyone else is involved. 

From the looks of the balls, and given the fact that they started with shoes, bags, and poly balls, if I was going to wager the cash would be on the balls being from China.

Thank you, itsallaboutme.

Oops, I confused Bowlers Paradise who owns Elite with BowlingBall.com who has Pyramid. I'll re-edit my post above.

I'm pretty sure Elite is owned/run by Bowlers Paradise.
They did move their manufacturing from 900Global to Asia, but I don't know if that changed again. Their original Alien series were made by Brunswick. The Requiem was made by 900Global.  After that I sort of lost track of them because of their high prices. Their sales in the past year have brought down the price. Many of their ball have been reviewed by BJI.

Elite and BP are both owned by the same person, he signs my checks.

The current Aliens, Gold and Platinum come from our friends in Texas.
