Made where?

[LeftyHawk]

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.

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.

I can attest to this; I have toured the Bridgestone ball facility in Covington, GA. Also, TaylorMade has a ball plant almost across the street from my employer in Liberty, SC. I have no idea what models they produce there.

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.

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

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.

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:

Yep that TM plant in Liberty is the old Dunlop/Slazenger plant. 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.  The current plant is just off US-23 at Cartee Road, basically Liberty, SC.

[BIG STU]

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

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.

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.

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.
