I don't buy Motiv equipment because of "100% made in the USA"; even though that is a very good reason.
I have tried just about every brand out there. And there are a few balls that are special. However, I buy mostly Motiv simply because they work for me. I LOVE their equipment and the 100% USA is an extra bonus.
I personally will be thinking and praying tomorrow for the 170 employees of EBI who lost their jobs in Michigan. Hope all who love bowling will say a prayer for them tomorrow and hope they find another good job soon. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you on BR.
