LeftyHawk Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 This maybe, well, most likely is a dumb question but I got to wondering today if there are any golf balls made in America? From what I've been able to find on my own that answer is no. Chris Quote Far and Sure......

From what I've been able to find on my own that answer is no. Chris I’m pretty sure Titleist and Callaway both make balls in Massachusetts. I’m sure they import as well but maybe someone else can verify.

Jbmullin Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Believe Titleist Ball plant 3 is in Mass and they make the Pro v line there. Michael Breed talks about plant 3 a lot and that Titleist offers free plant tours if your signed up or a member of Team Titleist.

LeftyHawk Posted January 14, 2019 Author Share Posted January 14, 2019 My reason for the post is the box of Bridgestone TourB XS I bought, the side panel says "Made in Japan" That got me to wondering if there were any balls made in America Chris Quote Far and Sure......

Rtracymog Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Callaway balls are made in the US and you can actually see which plant produced that dozen titleist balls so you can get ones made in the US if you look for it.Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Quote Cortex w/MGS Motore X F1 7X tipped 1" F5 17 degree hybrid w/Rogue Black 85X C300 Forged 3-5 w/C-Taper 130X FG Tour V6 5-6 w/C-Taper 130X Staff Model Blade 7-PW w/C-Taper 130X RTX4 52, 56, 60 w/S400 Tour Issue ER7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnSmalls Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I am pretty sure that most if not all Titleist balls sold in USA are made in the USA. Callaway has some still made here in USA. Taylormade assembles some of their balls here. Finally, Bridgestone supposedly makes their premium balls, plus the e-line of balls down in @ole gray's neck of the woods in Georgia. This is a few years old but I assume most of it still holds true: http://madeinusastuff.blogspot.com/2013/12/golf-balls-made-in-usa-titleist.html BIG STU and PING Apologist #9 2 Quote Gameday Vessel Sunday 2.0/ Ogio Silencer Dynapwr Carbon | Hzrdus Smoke Black Mavrik 3w | Evenflow Riptide FG Tour F5 Hybrid(20,23) | MCA Fubuki Staff Model CB 5-PW | DG 120 Vokey SM7 (50, 54, 58) | DG 120 Studio Stock 15 -ProV1x (left dash) Romans 10:9 Classic Bag Jones Collegiate Clemson Stand Bag Eye 2 Laminate 1973 Staff Dynapower 4-PW Anser DUO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the day it was on I-85 exit 44 White Horse road. I know the I-85 mile markers have changed since then I think they moved it from White Horse to out near Westminster for a while.

BIG STU Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Yep I am familiar with the Westminster plant as the old timers call it. Mr Tad Moore worked out of there for a while in the early 90s. In fact the course I worked at sold Dunlop Tad Moore wedges back in those days we got 1 day service from there to Charlotte Quote Driver ---- Callaway Big Bertha Alpha Speeder 565 R flex- 5W TM V-Steel Fubuki 60r--- 7W TM V-Steel UST Pro Force Gold 65R----- 9 W TM V Steel TM MAS stiff---- Irons 2015 TM TP CB Steel Fiber 95 R--- GW Callaway Mack Daddy 2 52* shaft unknown junk pile refugee.

Stumpnav Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Callaway makes their Chrome Soft and ERC in their plant in Chikopee MA...I don't know where the rest of their balls are made. Years back when I quit playing Titleist, I looked for a US made ball. Callway was made in the USA so I gave them a try...been with them ever since.

srooch2 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Bridgestone, Callaway, Titleist, and Taylormade. (As said above)Most are the premium brands. I believe with Callaway and Titleist all urethane balls are. Might be true of the other two but unsure.

storm319 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 In reference to TaylorMade, production of cores and mantles outsourced somewhere in Asia (was Nassau based in South Korea at one point but not sure if they still produce the TP5 line). Then urethane cover assembly, painting/stamping, and packaging is handled in SC. I believe their ionomer covered balls are fully produced in Asia.
