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

[eagle1997]

Since the Ksig cannot be obtained outside of ebay, you can still find these deals

 

RZN Tour Plats - under $20

 

Ammo boxes of 2016 TP - 3 dozen for under $60

 

Hex Pro - $17.50 per dozen plus shipping so lets just say under $20

 

RBZ Urethane Practice - 3 dozen under $40

 

Q-Star Tour buy 3 get 1 free = $22.50 per dozen

 

Let not forget all the Bridgestones on ebay - average $20-25 per dozen depending on qty in auction

 

I am all for a good deal, but for $3-4 a dozen in savings over other deals, will the Ksigs really be missed?

 

Yes. They will be missed by nostrils across the nation.

 

KSigs smelled like nothing else, except maybe napalm in the morning.

 

They smelled like... victory.

 

If you never smelled 'em, never played 'em... well, None of the above balls can compare.

 

Smell-wise.

 

Very comparable playing wise. :)

In a speculation scenario the bottom falls out when everyone jumps in. There are a lot of people who have more golf balls than they will ever need.

Ksigs are gone for good.....nobody uses them....unless you are in this thread :)

Dean Snell says the volume on these was lower than imagined and the ball is going away for good soon. https://www.thehacke...fitting-costco/

 

I'm not saying Dean Snell misrepresented anything but he's a competitor to Costco and likely has little insight into what Costco is doing with their manufacturers. I don't see Costco wasting their time and money to register the KSig with the USGA, trademark, design and produce packaging for a golf ball that had as limited a supply as Snell suggests. I wouldn't be shocked if Costco sold more KSigs than Snell sold overall over the same period of time.

 

Costco probably sold more K-Sigs in an hour than Snell sells in a month.

Not even close to a true statement. I've now played with 10+ guys who had the ball in play and none of them was a WRX'er.

It was just a joke Dave.....im sure there are 15-20 people who use these outside of this thread. IM KIDDING!!! I use a darn Wilson duo, so what am i talking about!!!????

True 'dat. But emphasis on "sold". What about the next hour? Next month Snell is still shipping product whiie Costco has moved on after their hour is done.

For Bay Area folks...The new Costco by Cottle road had the golf balls this morning. Likely sold out now but in case you are around the area. First day of the Costco there, so was a bit crazy...

Oh my they're back!

Wow! These Ksigs must be serious business.

I think that is the first non-jokey post I've ever read from DP4! ;)

 

Rule #1. You don't mess with my family.

Rule #2. You don't mess with my wine cellar.

Rule #3. You don't mess with Zoltan...which is Polish for KSig.

Seems like this story has held up for the most part.

While we have reason to believe there's more to the story (and we're not done investigating), we believe that in all likelihood, this is the end of the line for the Kirkland Signature Golf Ball.

 

"The K-Sig has been a godsend for the budget conscious consumer. Like I said, a hell of a story, but unfortunately it appears to be coming to an end, and I suspect the bigger ball manufacturers will sleep easier tonight because of it.

Here's what we're able to share.

Our source inside Costco has not responded to our calls; however, a source familiar with the situation has told us that Costco has suspended production of the Kirkland Signature until further notice. Whether you want to call it a shortage or a total outage, the lack of Kirkland golf balls available to the consumer is being blamed on supply chain issues.

We're told that, internally, Costco is saying that production will resume at a later date (and that an email will be sent to customers when stock is available), but we have good reason to believe that is an unlikely scenario.

A representative of Nassau Golf (originally listed as the manufacturer of the Kirkland Signature Ball on the USGA conforming list) has told Not allowed because of spam that Costco purchased overruns of Nassau's European-market-exclusive Quattro ball. There is some indication the sale was made through a third party, and that Nassau may not have been directly involved in the deal. The same source confirms that while the Costco balls have a different core color, the material composition and layer thickness are absolutely identical to the Quattro.

 

 

 

With the initial supply of overruns exhausted, Costco effectively has nothing left to sell.

With Costco selling its version of the Quattro at its cost ($15/dozen), it appears that Nassau is not particularly interested in selling Costco any additional inventory. As you can imagine, there's little interest in allowing Costco to undercut the Quattro with the Quattro, nor is there any desire to see the ball market (including direct-to-consumer brands like Snell, and OEMs such as TaylorMade) undercut either.

[suprfli6]

Nassau Quattro wasn't being undercut though; I've literally never seen one and most US golfers have never even heard of it, and the KSig was largely a US phenomenon.

The Quattro is literally not sold in USA so no, you would not have seen one and US golfers would not have heard of it.

I never heard of the Quattro even though i had some ksigs. im sure Nassau never expected this type of response as i am sure Costco never did either. It created a whole new market

I feel there was a new market created, almost an "underground" type of market which created a short term groundswell and Costco or whoever, should contract with Nassau for all the over runs....but it doesn't look like the supplier is willing to do that, so if i have to put $20 on it, i would tend to think this ball will NOT become a factor in the main market at all. It will continue to be a "internet legend" type of ball that you rarely see on courses across the country. But who know....why Nassau or the 3rd party vendor who can get their hands on the over runs wouldn't want to make money from it, is something I cannot answer.

[North Butte]

My prediction is at various points in time Costco will find some multi-piece urethane ball (whether made by Nassau or not) and sell them at the 2-for-$30 price point. When they're able to source them at that price, they will be available. When they're not able to find good enough balls, cheap enough, they will not be available.

 

I think that "prediction" has basically been true for about a year now hasn't it? No reason to think it will change any time soon.

Ok, so I'm not sure if the "story held up for the most part" since there were two releases before the story and two after??

 

And yes I know the volume is obviously limited, BUT, I have had no trouble getting mine. No sympathy for the uninformed consumer or those who cannot distinguish between usefull info and misinformation by obvious motivated individuals.

[Dpavs]

Wasn't there some talk about Costco having submitted a 3 piece ball for USGA certification which was going to be called the Pro Signature?

[eagle1997]

two questions:

- anyone ever see a "performance one" out in the wild? were they a part of the most recent release?

- anyone have any info (or wild speculation) about that costco v acushnet lawsuit?
