Got my weight kit in and putting in the 20G weights and the 50g weight in the handle really improves the feel for me.  Putting was very good already, now I think it's up there with the big boys.  $190 ish for putter and weight kit is a good value if you can handle the Kirkland name and logo

Yes, it definitely is.  I just sold my putter and weight kit for $350.  Looks like I cashed in at the right time looking at eBay inventory now.

FYI. The weight kit is in stock online right now. Better hurry. Good luck.

Weight kits are still available and people are trying to sell them at $100+ on the bay?

Never has someone been more in to a putter/weight kit/resale market than you are with this Costco putter. I always say that I respect and like to see someone doing something they are passionate about and this is one of those times. Happy for you

Not really passionate, just posting my experience?

They have been back in stock for about a week now.

Wedges for sale on Costco as well.

[snagy2000]

Noticed yesterday putters and wedges at my store were $10 cheaper than online. Must be due to shipping included in price like other products. No V2 ball.

Answer to this is probably buried somewhere deep in the thread, but any idea on who makes the Kirkland putter?

It’s all speculation...

Yeah seems to be that way, you got an educated guess? I wonder if its Odyssey or someone else.

Just has no Odyssey signatures whatsoever.  Also, iirc somewhere in one of the threads the manufacturer is mentioned and it's not a big name.

Tbh, I really follow the Kirkland threads pretty closely. Probably more so than I should. The only threads I follow as closely would be the Nike threads. I don’t recall ever reading in this, the ball thread or the wedge thread where it was definitively stated by anyone, with zero speculation and actual verifiable information of who its manufactured by. I do recall reading speculation of whom it might be, and why they though so. It wasn’t a big manufacturer, rather a milling factory of some sort. but thats part of the fun right? Trying to piece together who it is?

 

this was in an interview with a Costco exec where it was stated that “The Costco buyers approached a well-respected manufacturer in China that also produces putters for a number of well-known OEMs to help develop the KS1. After working through initial prototypes and multiple designs, the wide-body plumbers neck was the final choice based on its popularity and mass appeal.” https://www.golfwrx.com/607310/golfwrx-exclusive-the-story-behind-the-new-costco-ks1-putter/ 
 

I doubt we’ll ever get anything more definitive than that though.

Go find one of my past posts where I listed the name of the manufacturer. I’m not going to go back but it is some metal fabricator that specializes in cabinets and safes. I guess it is possible they are just the importer but the putters are not a big OEM or they’d have their own distribution network and would use those guys.

Sports Afield I think you said right? I don’t recall if I went to the website. Did they come out and say they were the manufacturer?

That is it:

http://saproducts.com
Again, I don’t have any inside knowledge but that was the information on the shipping boxes.

I must’ve looked at the website because somehow I thought it was sports afield.

 

Honestly would be quite surprised given SA touts made in the USA and the box says China? But that doesn’t necessarily mean manufactured in China - however it would coincide with the Costco exec talking about a mfg in China that other large oems have used, then imported by sa? Interesting.

Left handed putters in stock online.  Lefties, they're thinking of you!

[Bobb3rdown]
