Most of those are from 3rd party sellers. But Walmart is selling both new and used Kirkland golf balls. I wonder if Costco knows or cares.

Maybe it was a few lucky shots but I was easily getting 10 yards+ with nearly every iron and unintentionally flew several greens. They're back in the bag through the rest of the year or until it gets really cold.

 

I’ll trade you my bag of used 4-piece KSigs for your Project (a)s. Love that ball.

 

I got about 3 dozen. Got a lot of (a)s?

As enticing as that offer is, the golf ball closet still has a nice stock of KSigs.

I've been playing the 3 piece all year and wanted to emphasize, for me anyway, there is no distance loss or negative wind performance. I play in Iowa where there's usually at least 10 mph of wind, sometimes more. Distance on most shots is exactly what I would expect, and I hit the best shot into the wind I've ever had. Was about 30mph headwind and I almost hit the green on the second shot of a par 5 with a 5 wood. I don't recall the exact distance, but it was 50 yards farther then expected, into a headwind.

The complaint I've read most about and mine as well comes when short irons are hit into the wind into greens.

I have the same results, no loss of distance on any shots, and I play some pretty windy courses near the ocean.

They're back.... The packaging is a bit different but appears to be the same Four-Piece golf balls as before as the same price - $30 for 2 dozen + shipping. Available on Coscto's website "while supplies last".

Costco making it tough on the Ksig hoarders.

Not at all. Now they'll just order a few dozen dozen to add to their hoard!

**Limit 2 per membership. Must be ordered together. Any additional orders will be cancelled. Your order is not complete until you have finished the checkout process and been provided an order confirmation number. Quantities are limited.**

[rlb4]

So this is the new 4 piece ball not the original Tour Performance 4 piece?

Correct

Back during the big craze, people were recruiting friends and family to order for them to get around the limit. Some guys on GolfWRX ended up with 10 or 20 dozen one way or another.

Oh I'm sure. I'm just saying Costco "attempting" to make it tougher this go round on the hoarders. :smiley:

Hoarders will hoard.

[Hateto3Putt]

Just placed the order...

 

I was down to 4 dozen of the original, so, we'll see...

[Backsidefloater]

Ordered just 2 dozen. With shipping its 38 for 2 dozen and you can still get srixon xvs for 20 a dozen, and Im having a hardtime thinking these are as good as what srixon makes, but worth a tester

[monks66]

I ordered 2 dozen, yay they are back....different side stamp though?? same performance?

[trackcoach13]

Different ball and we will find out when they arrive and are tested.

[dirt nasty]

Made in China (new) vs Made in Korea (original)

[deboer69]

Here is the USGA conforming list for both the old ball and the new balls. Dimples are now 338 and the old ones were 360.

I hope that maybe its a softer ball...we will see

Long term Costco member here. Costco is hugely protective of the reputation of the Kirkland Signature brand, and they work hard on improving the price and quality of everything that carries the brand.

 

They understand the success of the original KS 4-piece. And that it sets an expectation re. future 4-piece KS balls, And how let down the Costco community would be if they marketed an inferior follow-on ball. To market an inferior follow-on ball goes against everything that Costco does with the brand. So, the new ball may be somewhat different, but I’ll be shocked if it isn’t at least as good as the last one. I bought my allotment.

8 doz on the way B)

[monks66]

the craze begins again....chapter 2..just hope it performs the same

Yeah. Not to mention the no-questions return policy if unsatisfied for any reason. The other thing I’ve been thinking is that, given the wild success of the first 4-piece and the new sourcing (China factory), I’ll bet that there will be a lot more supply this time around. We shall see...

[snagy2000]

It's just like quitting drinking...The day I quit, I quit quitting the very next day...

[larciel]

wasn't it $4.99 ship per order? now it's per 2 dozen.

it should be listed at $34.98 per 2 dozen now.

Anyways, still happy they're back! Gold box looks dope
