Lol I was kinda thinking the same thing. I decided to hold a couple back for nostalgia reason and by a couple I mean 2 balls total. 

 

... Thankfully there are some other slightly saner folks here. I have 2 sleeves I have been holding onto and thought I was being a little silly! 🤣

Anyone else still have some boxes of the original four piece balls? I have a couple, they sit like legends among all my golf crap lol.

 

I saved one dozen for nostalgia.

I still think this was my favorite ball ever produced to date. My longest drive, still, was with RZN tour Black Volt vision.

my fav as well. I use them sparingly on nicer resort vacation golf. Never on the home muni courses. Haha. Theres a thread somewhere on wrx about the company that supposedly made them for nike and is still making them under their own brand. I havent tried them though. 
 

maybe costco should give them a call. Ksig rzn’s anyone??

 

edit: @Stanks i searched and saw you had also posted in that thread, so i guess ifkyk 😅

Pretty sure Bridgestone made all of the Nike balls.  I wonder what version of Bridgestone it was?

Im pretty sure youd be wrong. by all accounts i can find, it was a Taiwanese company since about 2006 or 2011 until nikes exit from hard goods in 2016.

I believe Bridgestone produced the multilayer urethane models thru 2010 (Nike One Tour/D were the last release) and the ionomer models early on. Nike then moved to Feng Tay for the rzn models starting with the 20xi in 2011. I believe they used a few different white label factories for their ionomer models during their final decade.

Thanks i couldnt remember if it was 2006 or 2011. That bridgstone stopped making balls for nike and switched to the taiwanese company, as i said before.

They may have moved elsewhere for their 2-piece ionomer offerings around 2006, but I am sure that the urethane transition coincided with the rzn 20xi launch. Feng Tay had been Nike’s manufacturing partner for shoes and other sporting equipment for years before taking over golf ball production (their golf ball plant is in Vietnam).

Hmm death of the 4pc? 

[EagleGSU]

Just went on the costco website to stock up, and they were no longer showing up on there? Anybody know what's up?

[snagy2000]

Check in morning, they might be updating website or the mysterious 4pc might be dropping in April. In store will have them!

It happens from time to time but they always come back.

Is there a 4pc on the conforming list? I thought someone said earlier that it had fallen off. There are 2 on the list now, both some iteration of Performance+. Wasn't the 4 piece something different?

There are currently no 4pc KSig's on the conforming list and the 4pc offerings were never called "Performance +".  The post below was from September when there was still a 4pc on the conforming list but the rest is still holds true.

Yep, that's what I thought but couldn't remember the marking on the 4pc. I THIOUGT "tour" was in there but wasn't sure.

 

That being the case, I don't think the lack of the balls on the website to be a hit that the 4pc is on the horizon.

Some are reporting they're on sale in store for $19.99 and the website, at least for my zip code, is OOS. If they create a v3 with a little less spin I'd play it exclusively 😄

 

But it could also mean nothing. Like they have a new shipment coming in and need to clear current stock

At this rate, I wish costco kept that last 4piece one. Improve the cover and that was perfect.

I just got Scott's weed and feed for basically a quarter of the price they had it for sale because they were closing out. But you never know...

Prices ending in .97 indicate a markdown from regular price. 

 

Was there an asterisk in the upper right corner? Apparently that's the code for an item that will not be restocked and is probably being discontinued...

I didn't pay that close of attention honestly. I don't recall seeing an asterisk but it may have been there. 

[Jersey golfer]

Just returned from our local Costco earlier today. They were selling the balls for 19.97. It would appear that they will not be re-stocking them given the history of items going on sale having a price ending in .97. The website lists them as out of stock.

 

[snagy2000]

I have a feeling we're going to see new golf items soon...
