    Like a PV1 but a fraction of the cost. There is a reason Costco limits them to 2 boxes per person

    The original golf ball they offered was a 4 piece design that rivaled most tour quality balls performance wise at a fraction of the cost. Titleist ended up suing them over a patent dispute, so Kirkland discontinued the design. They now offer a 3 piece design that is a decent mid level ball for the price. Double digit handicappers won't be able to tell a difference, but you're not getting a pro v1 level ball anymore.

    I live on a dogleg right hole and my back yard collects the OB pushes and slices. The number of Kirkland balls I've been finding supports your supposition.

    If you can find some of the old 4 layers, they're going for about $6 a ball online. https://www.amazon.com/Kirkland-Sign...ct_top?ie=UTF8

    People refer to them as "K-sigs".

    I've seen you play. Top flights will do.

    I haven't. I don't think I could let myself.. I did try to make a ball change earlier this year.. to the AVX. I've got a couple friends that still play them, they really are about a club longer with my irons. I just don't care for their feel.

    I played with a bag full of about a dozen random balls including a range ball from a local CC that somehow ended up in there. Found a Nike ball. It found its way in the drink on purpose, the rest did not.

    I play with them. I usually use a Callaway Supersoft or Bridgestone E6, they play just as good as these.

    MY SIL is a true 3-4 handicap, would they be good for B Day's, Christmas? I quit playing in HS when the coach said I had to practice during deer , duck, and quail season.

    Somebody that is a 3-4 handicap is probably pretty particular about what ball they play, so I'd say no on them as a gift.

    I guess I will be playing them for a while. I once told my wife about them and how they were supposed to be good balls, but Costco never had them in stock. Well, she was in there one time when they had them and she brought home 8 dozen. LOL

    Same thing happened to me. In laws are Costco members and I told them about the originals and grab some if they see them. A year+ later they give me 2 24 packs for my birthday. Smiled and said thanks and all but they aren't the same ball. The E6x comparison is a good one. I will use them in spring time when I am spraying it a little more and just getting started again for the year. For past three years I have just been buying used Pro V1x from different online places. The mint balls are great and cost about what a mid level would cost.

    It's not like I'm all that snotty.. I just don't do Costco. It's probably like a forty minute drive for me to even find one. I've never even been inside one of the things.

    Mostly during the week playing around I play 5A used balls, I don't care for refurbished. I've played pro v1x's since I've started back, and I'll buy a several dozen at a time from the Ebay. But they're mostly just practicing, plus I have a daughter and a son playing high school golf.

    Nothing better than hitting a PV1 right down Money Lane.
