Brunswick is the parent company therefore....Reynoso Mexico! Well you were correct, Dude!! If I would have known that I would have FOR SURE purchased the Storm product~ I think it was the Hy-Road? Carmel flavor!! The one that Bruce bowled the 300 game with the other day.

Storm Crossroad

I have nothing against Mexico, its just this once great nation was an industrial giant not that long ago! Now because of cheap labor, and greed, we are hurting! Sure their are jobs out there, but min wage jobs! Its sad! Damn I wish I would have known about it not being made in usa! (((Believe me I am not a fanatic in regards to made in USA))), but if given a choice, most times I will go with the one made here! You can't buy anything from Walmart that is not made in China! Sam Walton use to PRIDE himself in all the products that he sold made in the USA,,, many don't remember but he had small USA flags around the products! We make very little now!
Even Steel! Being a retired Iron Worker, if we ever went to war,,, we would have to purchase the steel from the country we are fighting as things look now!

Storm is made in the USA!

Yep, Storm is made in the USA. I'm sure there are clothes that are made in the USA, but a lot of clothes are made in China and other places. I'm not going to buy clothes I'm not interested in compared to clothes that I like, just because one is made in the USA and one is made in China. Same goes for a bowling ball. If I like the DV8 ball more than the Storm ball, I'm going to get the one I like.


Also, I found this somewhere:
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 were.

I liked both balls, Storm Hy-Road, and DV8 Mirada! It was a flip up as to which I would get! Had I know that it was MADE in Mexico, I would have chosen the Storm! It was assembled here made by American Workers, and IMHA, it’s a great product also! NOT TO MENTION caramel is one of my favorite smells!! (parts do come from all over the world, this is true Dude)
But American workers making the product in this country means a lot to me! Did I bowl well with the DV8 yesterday, 290, 235,,,,, yes,, 700 series, but I would give the scores back to have the Storm ball!
I am sure I could do JUST as well with the Hy-Road! Any Storm rep’s out there want a trade in???
I want to take the Hy-Road and use American Made Bowling Balls!!

I think almost every company, including Storm has there plastic balls made in China

Storm Crossroad is the one you liked and the one that smells like caramel.

DV8 Marauder is the one you have.

I have a Cross Road. GREAT ball, but even though it has a yummy caramel SCENT (or as you call it - flavor) I would not suggest trying to eat it...

BTW, if you get a chance to pick up a Cross Road, get one...

They make the balls in Utah, I am pretty sure!!! Big plant,,, off to bowl~~

Ironically enough since you are the Iceman, that one of the only Storm Balls made in China is the Storm Ice

Mike the Dragon Slayer!!! He took down the team that was tied for first place with us.. 5 out of 5 points for Mike and Joyce and 0 for the other team. We only won 3 of 5, so now we are 3 games up in first place! The wing man came through again!

[MICHAEL]

Wing Man to Dude”,,,,, “Wing Man to Dude” Over,,,,,, ( yes it was over their heads taking on ICEMAN and MANIC!! We beat the number one team, with 227, and 221 averages SCRATCH the first and last game! Wow what a night!! They kept complaining about the oil! It was very different compared to what its normally like, but one thing bowling Sports Patterns teaches you is how to adapt! Don’t complain about it, make it work for you!! We beat them over 100 pins! Last game was not pretty for them either!! We had a great day!

I changed from the DV8 that worked in the first game, to the V.G. nanno pearl and stayed with it for the remaining 3 games! Right after the change, a spare, then 5 strikes! It gave me a better entry into the pocket and kept me from going head on the head pin, which is what the DV8 was doing, and even when I moved a couple boards left, it went flat into the pocket. It was a good time, and place to make the change!
My Manic Wife, and Me, Iceman,,,,, beat the number one team 5 to 0!!! (including total pins)!
In so doing put The Dude in First Place! It was some night for the both of us! Lol…. ()
The Dude was right when he said Sport Patterns will help improve your game! The lanes were very challenging, but knowing my balls, well, and what each one will do, and how to approach the conditions the lanes presenting was what made it a riot!!! I can’t remember a time I had soooooo much fun beating a team that had so much talent!!

(Nice job winning 3, against a team that is much improved!! I think we might be playing them next week! Later Iceman/Manic

Ummm, I don't think that's exactly what you meant. Don't let Joyce find out you've been looking at Jason's rear end.
