Brunswick had only two options. Either move to Mexico or shut down bowling ball manufacturing.Between taxes and labor costs they were loosing too much money. As the plant in Mexico is only about 30-45 minute drive 75% of their workers are american
I started with a Storm ball and never really liked the motion. I promptly switched to Brunswick and have been throwing them ever since. People always complain about how rolly Brunswick equipment is, and I love the predictability they provide. Also, the plant may be in Mexico, but the major of the workers cross the border daily to go to work. For all the people who say it's costing people in the US jobs, they should do more research. Billy O said in a podcast on above180.com the details of that move and why they did it.
As for Brunswick's equipment, I'll admit, some of the balls are not very attractive. I absolutely love the look of the Meanstreak Beatdown though. I love blue though, so that may be a biased opinion.
