    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've seen you play. Top flights will do.

    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 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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    Took me along a decade or more to realize that Titleist was not pronounced tittly-ist. Still is, though, in my mind.

    That's all the input I've got concerning golf balls....

    Played 27 holes with them on Saturday. I’m a 15 handicap so don’t take my word as the word of a pro but I’ve played long enough to know a good ball from a bad one.

    I really liked them. They’re better than any other ball in the $20-$35 a case range. I was getting more backspin on approach shots than I’m usually able to get with cheap balls. I will definitely be using them from now on.
