You might want to re-read the ratings. M-M means medium spin off the driver and medium spin off a short iron. Both balls on the list as of 4-3-19 are rated as M-H. I know you detest the ball and respect your opinion but factually your post, at least related to the ratings, is H-H. High Spin - Highly Inaccurate.

Just got an email from Costco. Free shipping with the purchase of 3 double dozens again.

[tsecor]

Its not my opinion. I posted the source as a discussion point. I don't play these balls. Tried em, didn't like em. If the guys who play the ball feel this is an inaccurate article, then that's fair too. > @DavePelz4 said:

first, read the whole "review" and it echo's much of what has been hashed out on this thread. the 3pc is good but not as great as the 4pc but still a good ball and "players who do not need the best equipment and want to save money on their beloved hobby will still enjoy Kirkland golf balls. The price is very good when compared to other mid-range golf balls"

 

Furthermore, unless I'm wrong, their "latest submission" to the usga isn't the 3pc - it's the unreleased new 4pc "Performance One".

 

I question any "review" that says that they are compensated for their "review" that i thought i saw as a disclaimer somewhere on that site. Kinda like Golf Digest bronze, silver, gold lists...

 

[Rory4Pres]

I'd be tempted to buy the 6 dozen special but I'm still sitting on like 30 dozen golf balls right now. At some point I'm going to need to update my will on who gets my unused golf balls.

4 dozen K3 showed up today, and they look identical to the originals I bought.

The leather is decent and the poker chip is similar to leading brands.

The explanation of M-M stood out because it's wrong. Obviously wheresmycaddie isn't a good source of information.

Hey genius M does not stand for Migh or Mow, it stands for medium. Nice try though. As already mentioned it is listed as M-H.

Maybe he's being paid to troll and getting his sauce from a unanimous guy who makes different budget friendly golf balls. Does seem strange, I mean I don't like anything callaway puts out so I don't go into those threads right? Have a good night.

Good, because I felt really stupid not understanding why "M" meant high spin off the driver, but meant LOW spin off irons. Best I could figure was that the "M" related to some rpm number which was too high for driver and too low for short irons. Shows what I get for overthinking.

The ball isn’t that spectacular but for the price, it can’t be beat (unless you have the hookup from a good golf brand).

The Kirkland’s k4 are to the golf market like what glock is to the gun market.

Cheap but solid.

I’ll stick with the golf brand balls. No need to feed the giant of Costco.

You and me both. But I simply cannot resist a solid buy. Plus, if I get my grandson into the game the balls will go quickly.

The gloves are made of sheepskin and the leather is soft and grippy. They have a wonderful feel.

Six dozen, actually. But who's counting?

In the past, Masters week has provided us an opportunity to purchase the K-Sig...With it apparently being retired, no longer on USGA conforming list, lots of fingers are crossed the new 4pc will show its head next week...

Gioreeko was right.

Do they have that unique high spin (M) off the driver and low spin (M) off of wedges? That would be groovy.

No kidding. Certain trolls should be "excused" for good instead of being placed on another time out or blaming posts on their account on a "family" member. Especially when they have never contributed anything useful here. Enough already.

SERIOUSLY.....G.T.F.O

Man I’m confused. Just trying to catch up on the K3. I have 2 dozen of the K4 left but wondering if the K3 is a good buy. Well, I’m sure it’s a good buy, but what are the characteristics of this ball? That video posted of the review said it was the highest spinning ball they have ever tested. Shorter off driver.

 

Probably not a great combo for me but they said it was more ProV1 like and the K4 was ProV1x like

I've played them both, I use the K3 if I haven't played for awhile, it's as long as the K4 for me, and my stepson has tried it too. I hit my longest drive of about 330 yards last year with the K3, so I have no issues with distance with it. The K4 for me seems to bite and zoom back a lot on the greens, and the K3 bites and either stops around the landing spot, or backs up slightly. The K3 is just about the most durable ball I've ever played with, and the K4 is about the same as a ProV1 for me. Hope that helps.

You know, on durability of the K4, I read that Titleist sued Costco, stating among other things that the K4 cover wasn't as durable as claimed. I decided to put it to the test. I played ten(10) rounds with a K4, believe it or not. At the end the sheen was gone, but there was no damage to the cover. I have played the Pro V1/X balls for years. I find the V1 cover more durable than the X. But with either one, if I get two rounds before it is torn up by my irons I feel lucky.

 

I am running low on K4s. Reading through all of the confusing comments, I cannot tell for sure... Is Costco coming out with a new 4-piece, or is this wishful thinking?
