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

[IndyArcher]

Why do we have to complicate things so much?! I propose the Kirkland v. 3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197. 

 

Then we can just refer to it as the K Pi+

I wonder if I can return any of the 5 double dozen I have in my basement to exchange for the new ones? 

 

They would return a credit to whatever you used to purchase them with.

Order now. Buy them again when they're in stock and you are in store. Return as other ones. This is the advice given to me when we ask for a price adjustment after the price adjustment period. They literally tell us to go back in to the store, buy another one, and return it under the old receipt. 

 

 

My mind is blown

The Costco near me has a lot of the v3 ball for $27.99. I just bought 2 boxes.

Ok now go try them on your simulator against a Pro V1, then play two full rounds and have us a report on our desks in the morning.

Are you truly in pdx? I called yesterday and they said 3 stores in the area are getting them today.

WHY HASN'T SOMEONE TESTED THEM YET

Yep. Just bought them at the Hillsboro store.

[pdxhak]

I was told hillsboro, tigard and portland.l have them today.  Im technically closer to clackamas than portland store so i might try next week.

It's abusing the policy but technically you can use half the box and return it for full refund. I would never, but that is their policy - satisfaction guaranteed. They will make some judgment calls if it's clearly abusing the policy. Different Costcos and different reps will sometimes vary.

Sorry I did not notice or look for yellow. I will likely go back tomorrow to get a few things for my wife and will see if they have yellow.

I'm about to head to Costco here in KC and I'll report my findings. If I can get some I'll try to do a quick comparison of some wedge and iron shots on my Bushnell Launch Pro. Unfortunately I can't hit driver in my basement 🤦🏻‍♂️

I'm hoping to make a run tomorrow myself.  Fingers crosses

Costco will basically take anything back for any reason, be it opened, used, or whatever.  I've heard horror stories about that people return and they take it back. They had to change their electronics policy to 90 days because people would buy a new tv to use for a couple of years then "return" it and get a new one.

Will they take back V2 balls so I can get V3's?

Same here just picked up a box.

Who's going to be the first to cut in half and compare with V2?  You know you want to so just do it as a service to golf geeks on wrx!

Side by side pic of the the V2 and the newest version. The V2 is on the right. Playing tomorrow but it may be still muddy as the course just opened wed due to flooding.

yes, I did it with the V1 to V2

[bhj83]

Well, no balls in KC North location 😕 I asked someone on the way out and he said they're getting to the distribution center May 1 so maybe the second week of May...

[pdxhak]

Unfortunately not able to play but rolled a few putts during lunch. Initial thoughts the ball is soft off the putter face but not mushy. Hopefully I will have time this weekend to get a couple rounds in.

Picked up a double dozen V-3 yesterday at Clarkston Wa. Costco. $27.99

 

Played it today and it feels great. I did not have a chance to directly compare with the V-2

 

Someone no doubt will test it on a monitor.

 

I have 3 double doz. v-2 that I picked up at the $19.97 steal it price.

 

I will return them and trade up if the V-3 is significantly better.

I have two of the 19.97 double dozen in the horde room.  I'm pretty sure I'll keep them and use during winter when balls plug in the fairway or roll under leaves.  Less than $10 per dozen for a urethane covered winter ball is a deal I'm not going to see again.

Please.

Please.

The top pic is a used/scuffed V-2. The bottom is a brand new V-3.  I played all but the last 2 holes with the new ball with no scuffs or marks and hit it OB.  Seems durable.  Time will tell.
