Anyone playing it? If so how good is it?

I don't play a ball with more than 2 layers, so I don't know.

sdandrea1 I don't play a ball that doesn't say "RANGE" on it, so I don't know.

Fixed it for ya'. 🤣

Subsonic I still have 2 dozen original 4 piece Kirkland

Gatorman I have a dozen of the original as well.
There have been no discounted 3 pc balls out in the market place so I've been on the lookout. I purchased 2 dozen. At $17 a dozen I'll try them out.

I don’t know which version I bought awhile back, but them suckers spin! Waaaaaay too much spin for my game and the soft greens I normally play. I bought 5 dozen of the MG Senior and flat out love them other than the feel sometimes.

Srixon Z Stars are the only ones I have seen up here.
2 for 1 or half price sales from time to time.
I now have some 3 piece Kirklands (Red Box=latest version) to play when the last of my Z Stars are done.

Pretty sure I have the old version. Got 120 grade 5A used for $100. Can't wait to get through them and move on to something different. They seem shorter off the tee and the cover cuts easy. I was playing NXT Tour or Taylormade project A or S(can't remember). The Kirklands are not terrible, but they are not my preference.

Email received from Costco this afternoon and the Kirkland 3 piece V.2 are priced at $31.99 for 2 dozen shipped to your door. So, they'll be a little less in the warehouse.

Nathan's hotdogs with a medium Pepsi product (1 free refill) are still only $1.50 (in-store) 😉

Great pizza and pulled pork BBQ as well. 😛

ode That was my take as well. Noticeably short hitting off the tee, but otherwise fine. The price is great, but I like and need a bit more pop on my drives.

I'd agree with this. I just hit the urethane covered Spaulding SD Tour X balls this morning and I'd very much prefer them to the Kirkland V2's. I've read some reviews on the Spauldings that say the cover wears quickl;y, sometimes after 3 shots with a wedge. I didn't see this. I didn't see any more wear on this ball than in most other balls. The cover feels kind of soft but they go as far as Pro V1X for me. They also check up pretty well on the green. The price of this ball is only $17.05 per dozen on Amazon. That makes it a very good buy, especially if your a Prime customer who gets free shipping. The only thing that I don't absolutely love about this ball is the color. It's white but not a real bright white.

KCee I’ve been in know to hit a 2 piece ionomer off the tee and then swap in a Kirkland closer to the green. The best of both worlds for a cheap @$$!

Wal Mart was closing those out last year and they could be had from $6 to $20 per dozen depending on location. Decent ball, I think I have a sleeve of the X left.

Thanks good to know. I've seen the Spauldings on sale at RBG? and other places, but wondered if they were decent. I am a huge Prime guy so I will have to check them out.

Not the same model he’s playing but pretty cheap! I wonder if these and the Snake Eyes balls are manufactured at the same facility?

Whenever I find them I throw them in the box at home. I seemed to feel like they were noticeably short. Thinking like 15 yards off the tee. No other ball have I noticed that before that I can recall

KCee

colej Maybe, only so many ball plants. I swore RBG had the Spauldings at one time, but maybe it was another site. I'm pretty happy with the Maxfli's so that will likely stay my main ball. I got a $50 box of RXS balls for Father's Day and I hate that ball. Twice as much money for a ball that is nearly useless around the greens.

No idea how many balls will fit.

My only complaint about the Kirkland's is that I can knock some of the paint off pretty easily. I haven't found them to be "super" spinny compared to most of the other cheap balls I've played.

backinit

So I got a few holes in with them and yes, not quite as spinny as a premium ball. Plenty of spin to hold greens though. I didn't notice any significant loss of distance with any club in my use. It reminded me of TM Project A somewhat.

I received a couple dozen of the 3 piece V2.0’s for Christmas from my MIL finally put them in play the past couple times out…

The quoted assessment above is about identical to how I would also write my review of these balls thus far…I am definitely not seeing any distance loss compared to my most recent gamers (Titleist Tour Speed & Bridgestone E12). I am seeing more spin in holding greens & the short game though which I do like better…maybe this ball just fits my game better…who knows? Will get in some additional rounds with them before I can reach a true verdict…
