whats the ruff
I worked at that ball plant when they recorded it. The pay was good but how they treat their employees is terrible! It cost them $4.31 yet they’re charging $45-50. They’re proud to stamp made in U.S.A.? They just announced that they’re moving a majority of the Co. to Thailand! I used to work with Cory and Isaac LAZY BASTARDS! And that wasn’t Bill Frye like he announced.
Also, that ball plant is in New Bedford not Fairhaven.
According to Popular Mechanics a new BMW costs under $5700 to make, yet they sell it for over $60,000. According to the American Builders Publication a 1,500 square foot home in a nice New England suburb costs $75,000 to build, yet can sell on the market for well over $350,000. According to the National Electronics and Gaming publication a Nintendo Wii sells for appox. $250 but is built, shipped and made for a total of under $20. The mark up on every single thing in the USA is massive.

i say that comment everywhere wuts it all about?
sry see not say
i somewhat agree with wut ur sayin, but when talkin about real estate, construction is often a small part of the price. location determines a lot
I bought an Epson printer for $40, probably cost $70 to make. Actually, they gave it away for free at circuit city if you buy a camera.
I use to hack open the amazing Titleist balls for the rubber bands when I was a kid. I don’t even bother today because the rubber band quality now SUCKS!
Rather put someones face on it i hate so i can smash crap out of it lmao
and
rofl yeah my dad did that.. apparently u ended up with hundreds of metres of rubber band
I don’t even think they use rubber bands inside the golfballs anymore
Just ordered 2 dozen of NXT Tour balls. See if they are better than the Pinnacle’s I just to play.
Hope to become a single handicaper soon.
wish you good luck
An old golf buddy of mine (pro) has a pretty good program out now that guarantees you’ll get under 80 in two weeks. Golferbreak80dotcom
Titleist Golf Balls are just awesom!
take a look at my channel for some awesim golf videos.
The best balls for you man, trust me, are the Nike One Vapors. Im usually a prov1x and tour ix blal player, but I got my first Eagle with a Nike One Vapor. You can draw or fade it really well, because its a perfect blend between soft and long.
If im not mistaken Vapor is one of the hardest balls that nike makes. Theyre meant for distance but not really the most workable ball. Try One tour D.
Well yes, it is a little bit hard, but it isn’t your average crappy 2 layer ionomer covered ball, it is a 3 layer ball with a softer cover. Usually a softer ball like it is much more workable, and for $30 a dozen, behind the priced down TP Red and Black, it is a great ball. The other ball I had was the One Tour, it didn’t go anywhere, and it didn’t spin as much as other urethane balls. The One Tour D was really good though, it had great distance while some spin.
Isn’t the factory in Acushnet? I guess not!
what and idiotic document …
the crush ball is the hardest
China?
