To each his own. However, I've made a personal commitment to not purchase any Wilson product until at least one of the 50 people I have emailed in the last year (regarding supplier practices) have the testicular fortitude to respond to said emails. I would even settle for "mind your own business" at this point. However blatantly ignoring correspondence is horrible customer service in my book.

Agree. I sent emails at least 3 separate times to at least 5 people at Wilson about my unhappiness with their supplier practices in late Jan 2017 and did not get a single response. Even though my emails said I made the buying decisions for a rec league of 550 girls. I have not knowingly bought a new Wilson product since Dec 2016. The only one I have bought is a USED CF8 Hope for $65. Anyone who asks me for advice on softball products to buy, I actively discourage them from buying Wilson.

Here here...... when DD needed a new glove, we moved away from Wilson to Nakona. I don’t know about kangaroo meat but the hide is a beauty.

I really do appreciate the loyalty of a lot of great people on here...I consider you guys my extended family

And btw, I believe Nokona is made in said small town in Texas...watched a show on it. Very cool and really makes you root for certain companies. A ton of the locals make their living
working there.

On a side note, I root for the my pillow guy too. Guy was an addict, lost everything, was homeless and put himself back together and started that company in a small
town (I believe in Minnesota) and had a couple employees...now he employees a good amount of folks from there.
I know, useless knowledge and off topic...Im good at that :)

I also discourage people from using two websites I used to refer people to, because my understanding is the owners of those two sites are who lobbied Wilson to make the supplier decision they made.

Sorry Guys and Gals, was just a heads up. No disrespect at all to Core (who I have purchased bats from several times) or any little guy. Just putting out info, just like on the prism. To be honest, I think my DD could go yard with a 10 year old wood bat!!

Let’s start that movement..... wood bats!!!

Didn’t mean to derail your aim of a good deal... we all could use saving money.
