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

[PeterHenric]

Nothing like watching your 3.2 land and then spin sideways away from the hole because of your nasty slice. Can never seem to land left of the hole and then spin towards the hole. 😡

They are a very spinny ball, IMO.

[dasams]

^^  Yes, very spinny.  It's one reason why slow swing speed guys love them and high swing speed guys don't.

Looks like TaylorMade bought Nassau... That's a good way to keep your cores out of the Kirkland balls...

Just saw the Ball Lab results of the KSig from the other site, was actually pretty impressed with the quality results- above average. Not really interested in gaming it as its performance doesn't fit my profile but for someone who doesn't mind and budget conscious, I don't think there is a better deal for 2 dozen balls under $40

You think going from $15 a dozen to $39 a dozen for the Kirklands is remotely possible? LOL

It looks like these k-sigs are very spinny but from the ball lab from Not allowed because of spam, I'm impressed with the consistency of them.  Not allowed because of spam has really opened my eyes to how inconsistent certain balls are, and even if those aren't the perfect fit for a lot of people, the consistency of the ball is huge because you can predict how they'll react out there.  I would also think that the average buyer of the k-sigs is a slower swing speed player where the high spin won't be as big of a problem.

With nice packaging and buy 3 get 1 promo or 1 extra sleeve on every dozen like project (a) did, I don't see why not.

 

People loved original ksig. and it was $50/dozen retail in Europe under Nassau brand.

The number one reason why people love the ball is that it is the cheapest urethane ball by a pretty healthy margin. I'm sure some people would play it but a large chunk of their customer base would navigate to another option, could do a slight price increase but not to that extent.

Of course it won't sell as many as ksig did. But it can have stay-power in the market. I love that ball.

Hopefully production for 4-piece (if by Nassau) is done.

 

Is there still hope it gets released as a Black Friday special?!?  Christmas special?

 

I'm down to my last dozen...☹️

Just re-read an older post from early summer:  4-piece made by SM Global LLC and NOT Nassau.😅

As covered a while back in this thread SM Global LLC is simply a shipping/logistics that moves product for Costco and not a ball manufacturer. Fantom is the current ball manufacturer for Costco and not Nassau. Costco golf balls are now manufactured in China as the box says.

You sure it's not the paper/cardboard box only that's made in China...and Costco/Nassau aren't operating behind the scenes?  😁

 

FWIW...I think the OG 4 piece is long gone.

There have been quite a few posts on it in this thread, one of the most notable items being that Fantom Golf is now known as SM Parker Golf.  There has been speculation that with SM having a role on the manufacturing side that Kirlkland balls may have a much higher priority due to the relationship that SM and Costco have.  SM Parker made the recalled 4 piece Kirkland balls.  I imagine that they would make any new ones as well but only time will tell.

It's the LONG time that's killing me.

The OG KSig is long gone and will never be seen again.

Neither a humblebrag nor a flex...I too can't bear to use them since they are no more. I brought them back to Costco two years ago for a return and the guy working talked me out of it. I have been considering selling on ebay recently.

10 dozen or more?  Holy smokes!

 

I settled into the KSigs late in the season for me - they sorta kinda became my go-to ball, and as such, have been cemented in my brain as my "stock" yardages.  They're a little shorter than a ProV1 or other balls.

[OK_Golf]

I really just can’t bear to let this thread die!

 

still using the 3.2 and enjoying it.  Received a box of AVX as a gift and it has been interesting to experience the difference in spin between the two. Definitely less approach shot and short game spin with AVX.  I’m trying to decide if I’m seeing a distance difference or not.  I’ve been hitting the ball well the last few weeks … can’t tell if I’m seeing more distance from better contact or from lower spin?

This pic is courtesy of "jewasaurus" from Reddit.  Wondering if this is what was done with the batch of balls with the shredding cover. Clearly the stamping was done after manufacturing and isn't from the OEM.

The Performance+ is the 3pc ball. The shredding cover balls was the 2nd version of the 4pc that Costco recalled.

Thanks...interesting that this would be the ball that was used for the range.  Didn't these eventually sell out, or were we just led to believe they sold out?
