MEXICAN OR AMERICAN???
« on: February 09, 2007, 12:04:22 PM »
I Recently purchased a total inferno from bowling.com and I noticed it said made in mexico on the box, is that why the ball only costed $130???
Are total infernos made in america and mexico?? and if so are the one's made in mexico not as good as the U.S made one's????  Is this why internet companies can sell ball's cheaper, because they are from Mexico??
Be easy on me I am a beginner and I know its a stupid question...lol???

And where is Lane#1 now? I am sure they will be ok....but if I had a ball company and the manufacturing that was pouring my covers just got bought out....I would be a little worried.

lane 1 left b/c of 2 reasons.  Reason 1 they could make their stuff cheaper with C300 and 2 b/c Richie wanted to keep it American.  Well now he really may be screwed, he likely will either have to deal with Ebonite who already struggles to keep up with demand, or move to storm which I dont think can match his cores with their covers so he better formulate his own. Companies move around with their pouring so w/e I wouldn't worry about it with him leaving Bruns.

From what I have seen, there were some quality control issues to start but I think that was the new plant getting up and going not because it was in Mexico.

Every ball company has balls with varying pins. The 1" pins are usually very cheap because they're considered "blems." The same is true with extremely long pin placements. Strange pins give the driller fewer options. I won't tell anyone to not buy from the internet sites, just realize that if the price seems extremely low, you may be limited on choices.


Wow, you sir are an IDIOT! I meant the size of the pin not the distance of pin placement to CG! Obviously someone hasn't been paying attention the past few months. ANy good manufacturer can make consistant size pins and Brunswick can't. If you can't even  do the basics correct how can you be expected to do everything else right. You just can't trust a company that can't execute the basis. Lane #1 obviously left Brunswick for a reason!!!!

Sorry Booling Eh,

I GAVE YOU CREDIT FOR MORE BRAINS THAN YOU HAVE!!

I should have read ALL of your rhetoric before responding.

Why would anyone care about the SIZE of the pin?????

Wait! I just checked with Brunswick. They're sending the really LARGE pins to your "pro shop" so YOU CAN FIND THEM. That's probably where you drill your thumb hole.

Have a great day, rocket scientist!
