This is why I will not even bother reading a review for one of these "Brunswick in drag" balls.

oh cause it is not made in the United States? Get over yourself. Every single item in your house has parts from or assembled in another country, The clothes on your back probably say made in China or India.

I'm in the process of trying to find out where I fit in the bowling world. I do not know my tech specs of my game, but it's all a learning process.

 Agreed, it's getting more difficult to buy Made in the USA. But when I have the choice, I try to do the right thing. In bowling, there are still many quality choices made in the USA.

Also check to see where your computer and computer parts are made. Also check your cars and trucks they all have parts in them that are either made in or assymbled Canada or overseas. Toyotas parts are overseas but assymbled in Tenn. So are you going to stop driving that Ford, Chevy etc and start riding a bicycle? There just isn't much anymore that is completly made in the USA. Which is sad don't get me wrong.

10 high quality bowling ball companies are built in the USA. WHy, when you have the option of so many, would you possibly purchase one of the few built elsewhere?

 

Makes no sense to me.

The big questions is where did they get the materials from? US companies or overseas? That is part of the question that we do not know. Columbia uses alot of BASF chemicals in their bowling balls right. Well BASF SE is the largest chemical company in the world and is headquartered in Germany. So just because a ball is poured in the US doesn't mean that they are completely USA made. I wish they where.

I can only speak for myself and what I think is right. I know too many struggling out of work friends to turn a blind eye. When I can make a difference, I will. You can justify anything you like with "well what about your computer" type answers. Soometimes the choices are limited, or you have no choices. But when it comes to bowling balls, we  have plenty of  "Made In USA" choices.

Made in the USA means very little to most.
 
There are many jobs available to those that choose to work them. Some would rather make nothing then make less then their previous job.

Or sit at home and draw unemployment till it runs out.. Those people make me want to vomit..
 
Now if your unemployed and out there pounding the streets to find a job, that's great. But I have heard from several people that have said "I'm not working at Target, that doesn't pay enough" Last time I checked anything is better than NOTHING!!
 
As far as people not wanting to use DV8 stuff because it's made in Mexico, that's a personal decision and arguments can be made for both yes and no!!!

Nothing hits like a Hammer!!!!

I also like AMF/900 Global..
