Bluesman57 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Does anyone know/can anyone point me to a reliable source where I can find out where golf balls are made? I'm specifically looking to purchase balls made in the United States. Doing a DuckDuckGo search led me to this site: https://sportblurb.com/golf-balls-made-in-usa/ , which indicates that Titleist, Callaway, Bridgestone and Taylormade manufacture at least some of their balls in the US. I'm not sure that I trust the information, because a couple of other sites that came up in the search results have the identical results and format, word for word. I appreciate any info.

null Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Titleist prov1 line, Bridgestone tour B line and Callaway chrome soft lines are the only golf balls that I know of that are manufactured in the US Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegan_Golfer_PNW Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Titliest tour balls are made in New Bedford, Mass. I think Oncore makes theirs in Buffalo. Taylormade makes some components overseas.

storm319 Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Acushnet was the last company to produce 100% of their balls in the US, but that changed several years ago when they opened their factory in Thailand. With that said, the following companies still partially or fully produce certain models in the US. Acushnet (Titleist, Pinnacle, Union Green): all injection molded cover balls in Massachusetts. Thermoset cast urethane models (ProV1 line and AVX) are produced in both Massachusetts and Thailand (facility owned by Acushnet). Callaway: urethane models and ERC Soft produced in Massachusetts (facility owned by Callaway) Ionomer model production outsourced to various Asian white labels factories (I believe primarily Launch Technologies in Taiwan at the moment). Bridgestone: all models produced in Bridgestone owned facilities in Georgia and Japan. Taylormade: core/mantle assemblies for urethane models outsourced to Foremost (Taiwan) and Nassau (South Korea, TM just acquired this factory in late 2021), urethane cover assembly, finishing/stamping, packaging/distribution happens in South Carolina. Ionomer covered models outsourced to a few Asian white label factories.

Taylormade makes some components overseas. Oncore’s HQ and TopGolf-esque entertainment facility are located in Buffalo, but no balls are produced there. Oncore doesn’t actually produce any balls themselves, production is outsourced to Foremost (Taiwan).

Headhammer Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Bridgestone has at least one of their ball manufacturing plants, and their US headquarters, right up the road in Covington, GA.
