The tennis balls......do not know...but probably made in China too, for 50-cents /ball.
Understand that Roger Federer has won about 60-million dollars playing tennis, the last ten years, and Serena Williams....about 30-million. Do they use a $13.84 raquet.....probably not?
Anyway, and most important to all, while most all of the factory jobs have left Ashland, at least there's still the two tennis courts....

No offense, but you are being very hypocritical in this post.
First off you are decrying all the manufacturing jobs lost from the Lakes Region, and the USA.
Then you are championing the benefits of buying an inexpensive tennis raquet which was made in China.
You are promoting the very reason this country has lost manufacturing jobs to other countries.
