In case there is interest on the K-Sig timeline from when the various K-Sigs were released.

 

Time to update the K-Sig ball release information for those interested. This list covers the OG K-Sig, the 3 piece ball and the new 4 piece ball that has been on the USGA/R&A conforming list for a long time.

 

Oct 4th, 2016

November 21st, 2016

December 20th, 2016

April 6th, 2017 (In 40 Costco stores only)

April 25th, 2017

October 17th, 2017

 

K-Sigs appeared in some new Costco store openings after 10/17/2017 and a few new Costco stores in early 2018.

 

April 3rd, 2018 - Original and new 3 piece ball.

 

May 8th, 2018 - Original 4 piece back in stock, 3 piece still in stock.

 

September 13, 2019 - Release of the new 4 piece K-Sig ball. Sold out. For now.

 

September 24, 2019 - New 4 piece ball refunded to buyers due to quality issues.

 

March 10, 2020 - 3 piece K-Sig has been spotted in stock at many Costco locations over the last few months.

 

V2 of the 3 piece K-Sig has been available for some time. Not certain of the exact daf.

Anyone ever figure out what was in the pallet marked "putters" at that one Costco? I would've climbed up there and opened a box myself!!!

I still play them, haven't had a cover rip yet, and it's a great ball. Seems pretty close to the OG 4 piece, maybe a tad shorter, but I haven't put enough rounds in with it to say for sure yet.

I’ve played several of them. They seem to lack the height I get on the original 4 piece, of which I still have a couple of dozen. I see no reason for this, and will play a couple more.

As to the covers, I find them easier to scuff than the original 4 piece, but have had no problems with cutting. I’m coming to the conclusion that the problems are mostly with higher handicap players who top the ball, as I just have seen no cuts at all.

Maybe the same ball with a different stamp? I presume the new stamp costs incrementally less money because it contains fewer characters, and Costco is all about saving money.

I would bet money you are right. I just find it odd that Costco would use the same name for a new ball.

First, Titleist balls are on a 2 year product cycle. Although submissions to the USGA’s conforming ball list expire after 12 months so they often resubmit the same stamp for retesting.

There are a couple of reasons the same ball would be resubmitted with a different stamp: 1) proactive safety or reaction to the previous stamp failing a conformance test so that tour players still have support (this happened to the TaylorMade TP Red LDP a decade ago) or 2) cosmetic change due to player feedback when it comes time to resubmit (highly unlikely). #1 definitely does not apply to Costco’s situation so this new stamp likely is a different ball (and it will be welcomed with open arms if they find a way to reduce the spin).
