Who cares where the ball is made, it was American technology that designed it! The only thing that bothers me about the whole thing is that if it is cheaper to make the ball in Mexico, why isn't that reflected in their pricing? The balls still cost just as much as their competitors balls. Are they really spending that much extra money on R&D, if so, Brunswick was really behind in the market. As diverse as the USA is there were probably Mexicans making the balls when they were made in the United States!

 Why aren't cars cheaper when they're built in Mexico?  Why isn't produce cheaper?

 You do realize that, in a free world, you have the right to move somewhere that doesn't suck so bad, right?

For those of you who refuse to buy Brunswick and DV8 bowling balls because they are made in Mexico consider this:
 
I just found out that Florida's Natural is the ONLY company in the United States that makes orange juice using oranges entirely grown in the USA. ALL the other companies that make orange juice in the USA use at least some oranges that are imported from foreign countries.
 
Therefore, if you are genuinely serious about buying only American-made products you can no longer buy ANY other brand of orange juice.  I believe that many on this site have stated that they will buy a product that is made in America WHEN POSSIBLE rather than buy one that is imported. Here is your chance orange juice drinkers. I have been in grocery stores in both small towns and big cities and they all carry Florida's Natural.

Wow, came to this thread to read about the DV8 line of balls and all that happened was the thread "deviated" to a bunch of senseless country bashing....

I hate to hijack this thread, but I HAVE THROWN THE HELL RAISER!!!  I'm going to review this ball in my pro shop newsletter and get a review on here too.  Thanks to Robert Lawrence for the hook up with this ball.

 

All I can say is WOW!!  This ball has some serious back end, I 've used it on 3 different sport conditions and have been able to open up the lane very much so.  I can't wait to get this ball on a fresh house condition.  The ball hits really hard, big back ends, very easy length.  All in the box surface.  70 X 4 3/4 X 40 ( I think).  Pin over the bridge, MB right of the thumb, medium hole down.

 

I really want to try the Reckless too, if this is the benchmark ball!!

 

Okay, back to your arguing!!!

Well, I've read thru pretty much all of this topic and I really only want to comment on one thing. I challenge ANYONE to say that Brunswick doesn't stand behind our product in any warranty situation. I read a few responses in this thread that basically tried to state that we didn't or wouldn't, and I seriously beg to differ.

 

I pretty much stay off this site these days due to the bickering and name calling, but I took offense to the warranty statements. Not only do we have the lowest warranty issues, we are also very proud to stand behind every ball we make when an issue does arise.

 

And yes, DV8 is gonna be a fun brand to be a part of.

 

Regards,

 

Rob Law
