Kirkland Signature (Costco) golf balls (MERGED) (NO BST POSTS)

[TheGeekGolfer]

With a name like Kirkland Signature I couldn't resist (my first name is Kirklan)! Ordered 4 dozen and plan to use them this winter. Probably hand out a sleeve or two to my friends on our Vegas trip the first week of November. It will be nice having them all line up putts with my name on the ball...hehe

 

On a side note, what would be the easiest way to remove the D on the Kirkland so it just says Kirklan Signature on it?

You could also try painting over it with white-out or try altering the logo into something else with a black sharpie?

Looks like this thread is going to cost me some $ now, but hopefully save me $ in the end. For $30 I don't see any reason not to give these a shot.

Ok, so I played my first round with the ball today (I normally play the Chrome Soft '16):

 

Driver: Felt solid, long (averaged 285 with 2 at 301 and 303), did not ballooned, I did not see any additional side spin at all

3W: Very solid, I used my 3W almost all day, 250 carry with 270 total, low penetrating ball flight

Irons: felt softer than the Pro V1X with a bit of extra spin, which helped me a lot

Wedges: Love it, great feel and spun just right, off the fairway I spun back a few shots, most shots one hop and stop

Putter: Felt like a Pro V1X or just a bit softer

 

Played at Lee's Hill Golf Course in Fredericksburg, VA, shot 72 (4 birdies and 4 bogeys), overall I think this ball is a win and at $30 for 2 doz we can't loose...pleasantly surprised with the performance of this ball. At the beginning I was being clowned by my friends "what is that????? a Kirkland golf ball????, really????", then I started to hit good shot after good shot with backspinning some and one hop and stopping others, and reaching par 5s in 2, at the end they paid for lunch and asked me for a sample ball, which I gave each one a ball...lets see what they say after putting it in play.

 

Don't be afraid to give these golf ball a try, you will be surprised...

 

PS: I just ordered another 2 Doz!!!!

I played a few holes this afternoon with the K-Sig; my order arrived yesterday.

 

First impression - this ball is the real deal. Every bit as good as the Snell MTB, TM Lethal, and Chrome Soft I put it up against.

 

The only negative I could find was the numbers on the balls are very small.

 

I'll do more testing over the next 7-10 days.

Ksigs are in store at San Diego Costco on Morena. First thing you see when you walk in the store. Couldn't help myself and picked up four dozen more.

 

Played my second round with these today. Absolutely love them. They spin more for me in the short game than the ProV1x or TPX. Very much like a Prov1 with wedges and greenside stuff. Mid-to-long game plays like a ProV1x or TPX. I can't see myself playing anything other than the Ksig for the foreseeable future.

I am with you my friend, I just played my first round with it today and I am sold...

[Girevik]

Damn you all! Damn you all to Hell!!

 

I was going to wait until spring an buy some of these balls when our local store started stocking them, but you all have convinced me to spend my money now and order a double dozen. Not sure if I'll play them or not, but I'll have them. or not, but I'll have them (knowing me, I'll lose a coulple during around and resort back to my .60 Slazenger balls because I'm a cheap ba*stard).

 

P.S. I really don't damn anyone to Hell...it was just funnier that way. At least to me.

This does change the calculus for the used ball value proposition, but $8/dz OG Hex Chrome still has some allure as well. I think this takes a swipe out of the top end of the used ball market more than the middle to low end of it.

 

Where can one find Hex Chromes for $8/dz?

 

Lostgolfballs.com has them for $8/dz refinished, or $8/dz AAAA as a mix of Hex Chrome and Hex Chrome +. Add something from the "6 free balls" promo and you'll get free shipping as well.

Played in 15- 20 mph winds today. Ball held its line no matter where the wind was coming from. Solid ball!!!

It sounds like the placebo effect is going strong in this thread...

It sounds like the placebo effect is going strong in this thread...

 

OR... It's a very good ball that for 15 bucks a dozen can't be beat, and possibly can't be definitively beat by any other ball I've played... I'm going to play 18 with it tomorrow in 25+ mph winds.. but so far from 2 practice sessions and a few holes I don't have anything to say about the ball that's bad... I've never known the Kirkland brand to put out anything but top quality stuff, I feel like this is another example of that.

 

Someone needs to interview someone at Costco who was in on this decision and get the inside scoop on how this deal was done...

[Hateto3Putt]

Maybe so.

 

I've played two rounds so far with this ball and LOVE it. I'm using my second one as I lost ball 1 after 30 holes.

 

I have given away 4 other Kirkland balls and all 4 recipients were also Placebo'd. They all really liked the ball as well.

 

Granted, as science projects go, these are all really short term results, but considering that the balls have only been available for about two weeks, early adopters seem thrilled.

 

I haven't heard one negative from anyone....so far.

[mpghouse]

My local Costco still selling the junky hex soft. Can't wait to try the new ones out.

[therusty]

Ordered online on the 8th, received on the 12th. Played on the 14th and 15th. Performance was similar to Pro V1x off the driver and Pro V1 around the greens. I also found the ball to hold it's line well in the wind. I had one ball last a full 18 with minimal wear on the cover. I have been playing Taylormade Tour Preferreds lately and like the KSigs a little better. This ball is the real deal.

 

This ball should be a game changer for the industry. My friends had different reactions to this ball. Several heard Costco/Kirkland and you could see that their immediate reaction of "cheap". These folks clearly won't even try the ball on their own and maybe not even with a recommendation. Several others had their eyes light up when they heard 4 piece urethane, then "whoa"'d on the price.

How long did it take everyone to receive their order? I ordered three boxes 5 days ago and the order is still 'processing'...

[Trane5]

I played my 2nd round with the Ksig yesterday. My buddy also tried them for the 1st time.....no placebo affect with these balls. I've played 36 holes with the same ball, birdied the first hole and my buddy tied his low round personal best of 79, with a triple bogey when he drew a bad lie and ran into multiple problems. I shot an 81 also running into some problems out of a bunker. The Ksig has some serious spin! I watched closely each of our balls how they reacted on all types of approach shot, and its amazing the amount of spin. They simply spin more, more than my previous MG ball...I've got to put in some work to learn exactly how they react to pitch and runs, flop shots, standard pitches & chips; I will practice with my new little friend (Mr. Ksig with all of my chipping clubs 8-iron and up). Once I feel I can predict exactly how the Ksig will react from around the greens.....it will be a beautiful thing!

 

I ordered my 1st dual dozen on a Tuesday and received them the following Tuesday....I live in Texas and they shipped from California. I ordered my next 4 dozen on Thursday, but no word on the shipping as of yet. I love me some Ksig! Updating my avatar on GOLFWRX & THE GRINT!

Ordered mine on 5th and received on 10th. 3 days minus the weekend. Not bad w/free shipping including.

OMG, based on the last few posts, could these "placebo" balls already be selling out... :busted_cop:

Ok, I ordered mine on the 11th so given the weekend, if they don't come by Wednesday/Thursday of this week, I'll start being concerned.

A bit more info.

 

Looks like a serious competitor along with the MG ball for best value in a tour urethane ball. The MG ball is fantastic. If this is close or better, than wow...

[The Pearl]

Someone asked earlier about comparisons to the MG-C4 ball. I've only played one round and 6 holes with the K-Sig, and the 6 holes I played I was able to play both balls every single shot. I think the MG ball feels softer, less dense off the irons and to a lesser degree off the driver. I'm still trying to decide if there is a distance advantage with the MG or if it's my swing, or the placebo affect.

 

I almost had my very first ace with the K-Sig, with it landing about 8 inches from the hole and then spinning back 5 feet. The MG was about 3-5 yards longer on that same shot. But missed my birdie putt with the K-Sig.

 

My next round (18 holes) I had 2 birdies with the K-Sig. the ball putts wonderfully. I had some chipping problems that day and thought maybe the ball launched lower on chips then the MG, but it was operator error. Last night I went to the practice green to practice chipping and figured out what I was doing. The K-Sig, has some serious spin around the green, I think a touch more than the MG. I'm going to go play again today, and also give my buddy a dozen so we can play for a match. I'll report back with another review and his take on the wonder of the K-Sig!!

 

Thank you for this. I do think the MG ball has a bit of a pop to it off the driver. It seems to be a few yards longer with most clubs than any other tour ball. And for sure, the MG is pretty darn soft without feeling mushy, just like a ProV1. The K-Sig, at least initially might feel and play like a ProV1x?

Less spin off the driver than the cs? Does it sound clicky or softer off putters and wedges? I'm trying to find a ball that is like the b330 off the tee and the b330s/cs everywhere else.

[Atlantagolf]

Got to use it this weekend and my results far exceeded my expectation! A very long, very straight ball with maneuverability and great green side spin.

 

Give them a try, you won't be disappointed. BTW, I was told these would be mail order only, not available in stores. I ordered mine last Monday, and they arrived on Friday.

[J_Birdie]

Apparently the logo looks like pinnacle cause I had a dude hit mine thinking it was his. I let him keep it cause I didn't wanna wait/walk up to the ball to retrieve it.

[cz13X4]

This thread sounds like a k Swiss commercial.

 

I love k-sig. I love my k-sigs.

[lopey986]

Finally put my Kirkland ball in play yesterday. It was great. Never had so many balls check up on the greens, i'm a mid to high handicapper and once I got rolling (I was at 20 strokes through 3 holes...don't ask...) I was playing really well. Solid distance, great stopping power. Shot a 41 on the back 9. Wanted to take a picture of the single ball i used for the whole round (had may one little scuff mark on the ball) but I put it in the water on 18, oops. For the price I won't buy anything else for the foreseeable future. Now we just need them to come in yellow.

[phil75070]

Just ordered my 2 dozen pack today and immediately received email confirmation of my order. Will be curious to see when they ship and how long they take to get here.

While it's not some magic pin-seeking missile, the KSig is the real deal when looking at performance, durability and price.

[Philfil]

Not yet in store at Lewisville, TX location....

 

Hex soft are discounted down to $24.99 for 2 dozen.
