Kirkland balls

[Mikeski]

I guess Costco is refunding peoples money who bought the new balls due to them not being good quality & living up to the Kirkland branding.

So if you bought these expect a refund.

Hopefully they start carrying that Pearl golf ball.

Our records show that you recently purchased the Kirkland Signature 4-piece Golf Balls (Item #1250052). Feedback we received since the item went on sale shows that some of the balls do not meet the high standards that are expected for the Kirkland Signature brand. Therefore, Costco is refunding your credit card for your purchase and the shipping costs (two separate credits). There is no need to return the item.

 

As with any Kirkland Signature item, if ever you are not completely satisfied with the product, your money will be refunded.

 

Please accept our apologies, and thank you for your continued support.

Wow. Good on them for doing that. I remember when these things flew off the shelves like Pappy Van Winkle and now I see then by the 100's when I go get my bulk toilet paper.

You have not seen anything because the recalled ball has not been in stores. It was a new release that was online only and sold out in one day.

Don't be silly. GolfWRX can *never* have too many K-Sig threads.

This is not correct; the second version that is now being pulled was in some stores. My brother-in-law, who does not play, brought me a two dozen pack to the yearly beach trip that he happened across in his Costco in SC. I know others who also found the ball in a store, though it was never in the Costco I frequent.

 

But it was a terrible ball; I played it for a round and a half, and it was a full 15 yards shorter off the driver. I was sort of stunned; it is VERY un-Costco like to put out an inferior product under the Kirkland name. Glad they're making it right.

@bluedot, what color box were they in?

Pretty sure you are talking about the 3pc KIRKLAND PERFORMANCE PLUS that has been sold for $23.99 per double dozen for quite a long time now. Since shortly after the original K-Sigs were all gone. We tend to refer to it as "K3" on this forum.

 

If that's the ball you're talking about a lot of people will concur with your opinion of it. But some people love it.

I'm guessing no, you probably had the 3 piece in the silver box. Why is it so hard for people to realize that one company can put out multiple models? Bridgestone has a number of balls with very similar names, and people don't seem to have a problem realizing that there's different models. SMH

Kirkland balls offer a 107 compression while offering the most spin off shots with every club in the bag, so if you struggle to hit the ball straight consistently, DO NOT BUY THESE!

That is what MyGolf$py measured for the overall ATTI compression of the K3 in their test. Not applicable to the new KP1.

Wow. That’s a lot.
