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

I’ve played with the V3 for 5 rounds now and will probably continue to use them for the foreseeable future. Drop in performance from a true premium ball seems negligible to me. Only gripe is that the cover doesn’t seem super durable. Had to rotate in 3 different balls last round and didn’t really hit any trees or cart path. Just got pretty cut up from full wedge shots.

I played a round with them today and am so impressed. I can’t tell a difference between them and the V1X or Maxfli Tour X.

I had to replace the ball after about 14 holes but that’s because I hit a wayward drive and hit a rock. There was little to no wear on the ball previous to that. Wedge shots (at least my wedge shots 😉) didn’t scuff or anything. This ball is fast becoming a favorite.

I have now played 32 consecutive holes with the same V3 and it still looks like new which I find pretty amazing.

 

As I mentioned earlier 18 holes was absolute tops for the V2 and even that was rare as I can't stand a smudged or discolored golf ball and always take them out of play.

 

Granted I'm old and have lost most all of my swing speed but so far I still think this is my favorite ball of all time.

 

Love the feel and performance.

 

Reminds me a lot of the original which at the time I thought was the best ball I had played and I could still hit it a little bit back then.

Was going to use them today, so I put 13 of them in a bucket, tied the bucket to my black cat's tail so he could catty for me. He didn't like it, so he ran out of the apartment and onto an open elevator which stopped on the 13th floor, where he immediately ran out passing under a maintenance ladder, frightening the cat, who then spilled the bucket, sending the balls bouncing into a mirror which unfortunately broke, making the cat jump up in the air suddenly, inadvertently knocking a horseshoe off the wall. 

 

So, no, the luck thing isn't going so well right now...

Didn't spill any salt at least...

VERY true! But did I mention that the balls started cascading down an open stairwell, so I yelled, "Heads up, falling debris?!" Would you believe it, instead of just moving out of the way, a lady down the steps grabbed her umbrella...well, you know the rest! 

 

I knew I never should have named that cat Lucky Strike!

I'm not sure if I know much more, but I do know it's bad luck to be superstitious.

Very superstitious,
Writing's on the wall,
Very superstitious,
Ladders bout' to fall,
Thirteen month old baby,
Broke the lookin' glass
Seven years of bad luck,
The good things in your past
When you believe in things
That you don't understand,
Then you suffer,
Superstition aint the way

Did you realize you're quickly approaching your 666th post? Not saying you should be concerned or anything...just that...well, if you need a lucky cat, I've got one for sale. I'll give him to you real reasonable since he has a bit of a Pepe' Le Pew look following that ladder incident (maintenance was painting the ceiling, you know).

No thanks, I already have my own lucky cat

As soon as they come out with a yellow version I’ll be 100% in.

me too, I knew from the first hole with these that once they're available in yellow, I'm stocking up.

I came in second in my league on Sunday in a Stableford format because of 2 lost balls that SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN LOST.  One was a deflection off a tree.  I watched where it deflected to, an area with light rough and hardpan and a 2nd shot on a par 5.  The shot was with a 4W from the first cut on right side of fairway over some trees.  I watched it hit the fairway and roll just off into rough about 5-6 paces.  4 guys could not find this white ball.  I NEED YELLOW FOR THESE OLD a** EYES.  C'Mon Kirkland lets game our act together.

I think we need to pump the breaks a little bit. The feedback on this ball has been near unanimous. With the exception of a few complaints about durability (seems fine to me, and I'm no stranger to trees and cart paths, but I evidently lack the superhuman wedge game to scuff them up), everyone seems to say it's every bit the ball of the $40/doz counterparts.

 

But I'm concerned that if it gets too much hype, everyone will jump on board and they'll be hard for my cheap butt to find. Plus, if everyone joins Costco to avoid the online surcharge, think of the lines at the gas pumps!

 

So slow your roll, folks! Throw out some two star reviews, say it's a yard and a half shorter than the Pro V1. Maybe say the cart girl laughed when she saw a Kirkland ball. For the good of the Order!! 

Sounds like you should go ahead and stock up just in case 😁

... I bought a Genesis GV60 in March so I love driving past the long lines at the gas pumps on my way to pick up some V3's. 🤣

I'd rather spend 5 minutes at a pump than 45 waiting on a charge. When I can get the 600ish miles from my house to my parents' without spending more time at a pump than on the road I'll consider electric. Heck, my Sonata can get me there on one tank of gas.

... I hear ya, they still need more charging stations and longer miles per charge. But Genesis gives you 3 years of free 30 minute charging at Electrify America and since it has a fast charging battery architecture, I can go from 20% to 80% in 25 minutes. For optimum battery life it is recommended to keep the charge between 20-80%. But I have an overnight charging plan so charging with my Utility Co and from 11:30pm to 5am is silly cheap and I charge while I sleep. Usually once a week or less. Road trips are still an issue but it only takes about 9% to get back and forth from Costco, where I have never filled up with gas in less than 20 minutes. Combined with around $5 a gallon in Phoenix and going up with the Saudi's greedy move. I am glad I have electric.

Just got a Tesla Model 3 and now I hardly ever drive my truck. When is Costco going to get some EV chargers next the gas station and sell us electricity cheaper than we can get at our house? 😁

If there's a line for gas I keep moving. With Advantage Pay at Get Go it's at least as cheap as Costco, and still Top Tier gas. Besides, even at Costco there is usually a line for the pumps on the left side of the car but the ones are the right are wide open. And those hoses and hella long and will easily reach over my car and fill her from the opposite side.
