Question: Are there two versions of the Kirkland Signature Performance Plus golf balls? Pic included

[sfgolf]

 

Hi All - I'm a big fan of the Costco Kirkland Signature Performance+ ball. I have collected quite a few used ones and noticed that these same balls have different finishes. The one on the right look more plastic and dull while the one on the left looks shiny and white.

Does anyone know if these are different year balls or if there is a difference? Does one play different from the other?

Thanks in advance.

Here is an additional picture of the markings on the balls. They look the same to me.

The dimple patterns certainly look different to me. I don’t know or play the Kirkland ball so can’t help.

The ball on the right looks like a cheap azz refurbished water ball. Dimple patterns are off as well. There is a second Performance + Kirkland golf ball on the USGA conforming ball list that has a different side stamp from the balls in the pictures you provided that has not been sold by Costco at this time. There is a self proclaimed Kirkland golf ball genius here that claims to know when Kirkland golf balls are being released in spite of never actually providing information when any version of a K-Sig ball was released dating back to 2016. Ignore (stanks) him.

It is the same ball and it has been discussed here in the Costco thread. https://forums.golfwrx.com/discussion/comment/18838140/#Comment_18838140

If you read from that post thru the next page you will get your answer: it is same ball with updated polishing and fonts to look less cheap. The construction is identical.

Yep, what TrackCoach said. Same ball with improved graphics. There is another 3-piece on the conforming list (as pictured above), but I've not heard of any sightings yet.

Thanks for your help and response. Read through it and it was exactly what i was looking for!

[Yuck]

But why is the dimple pattern different?

[trackcoach13]

I have both versions and the dimple pattern is not different.

Dimples look different because they're shiny vs. dull.
