Thanks for your answers!
I don't need to "know", but I prefer to know the origin like I do with quite some other products I use. Normally I am also interested in having an idea whether I will be able to rebuy a product I like in the future.
I do also understand that sellers want to keep some secrets about the manufacturer, supply and country of origin, and I don't expect total transparency, but I still like to know as much as the seller wants to share (who doesn't?). That was the reason for my question. I didn't really think he was making them him self, but if he did, it would be nice to know because I like his tips.
Anyway the answers gave me enough info for a pretty good assumption about where the tips are made.
In general Tom Hay gives more info and specs about his tips than most others, supports tournaments and even chimes in here on az. I do really appreciate that and I like his tips.
Thanks again,
