Yet another question about the XX stick

[hockeyluke88 0]

On the underside of my Vapor XX it says "Made In Mexico." My teammate has a XX, but his says "Made In Canada." Is there any significant difference between the two? Is one better made than the other? I remember seeing something about this on CB awhile back, but I don't remember...

Nope, no difference.

The difference may show itself in that shipping manufacturing to lower cost countries often means higher defect rates and poorer product quality. Only time will tell

oh yeah - and they won't sell the stick any cheaper with Paco manufacturing it for .50 an hour instead of Francois in Quebec....

Well..

Easton and Innovative both have plants in Mexico.

I believe the blades are made in Mexico and the shafts in Canada. Then they are assembling them up in Canada, and since the majority of the stick is made there, hence "Made in Canada"

I did not know that these companies smuggle drugs to Canada. :lol:

There is one other difference. The one made in Mexico has a preference for tacos and the Canadian prefers Labatt's.

Hahaha...On a recent trip to the factory in Mexico, upon my return while crossing the border the guard asked my reason for visit....to which I replied, "plant visit". She kinda looked stunned and asked, "what kinda plant, marijuana?".

Never buy a SyNergy on a Friday, Ryan?

The same applies to Volkswagens...
