Thanks for the input, I was thinking about two that are poured in China.
I'll look elsewhere.
Thanks for the help.

 WHY?

It's my choice who I buy from, that's about it.

 Didn't say it wasn't your choice, merely asked WHY?

 Is there something wrong with the balls that we should know about?

Just stop j/o.

"Because he wants to" is plenty enough, and that's coming from someone who buys most all brands (even the Mexican ones). 

As to the why......?  I'm sure your chomping at the bit to pontificate how everything in ones house is made in china.....

And no, nothing is wrong with the equipment.  I know you don't have the ability to draw the parallel as to why, if nothing is wrong with it, why one would choose not to throw it.

We've had this discussion before, a billion times.

It's my choice who I buy from, that's about it.

Sorry if my answer was incomplete in your eyes.
I found all reviews positive, that's why I was looking at them.
I'm a made in America guy, that's about it.
Thanks
Bob

This is what Pariah was trying to draw out in order to espouse the "so much in your house is made in a foreign country" argument.  Predictable and the discussion has been had.

 Quote what was here if you wish, I decided to change it because it was posted while I was a bit upset about you thinking you could read my mind and knew my intentions. YOU WERE WRONG.

 I, myself, am looking at some ELITE balls, and just wondered what might be wrong with them.

 He explained that it was just a personal choice. that should be good enough.

 Why do people like you presume to know what others are thinking?

 He said he was a "made in the U.S.A. guy".  He never knocked the stuff in any way, never made false claims about them, nor did he try to dissuade anyone else from getting/using/trying them. AND NEITHER DID I!

You're right, I never did say Bob thought they were bad, in fact he praised the looks of the balls, and I also never said you knocked their performance. 

I DID say "just stop".  Bob simply doesn't want them for the sole reason they're produced outside of the USA, and he told you "that's about it".   Does that not fit the "some real reason" criteria ?   He even apologized for his "incomplete" reply.  I think he got the same impression as I perhaps.....

Pariah, I think we can agree on this:  it is what it is.

I applaud him and his decision. He knows that every single transaction that can be made for USA is a help to the US and especially buying China made goods is just 1 more nail in our coffin.. JMPO

Anyone ever read the made in China sticker on plastic balls or does that not count?

Not all are made in China! I had the Alien Abduction and it was poured in San Antonio, TX at the 900 Global plant.
