RIP Kirkland Signature Golf Ball???
Goes to prove they are no better than any other ball. They do not float and, obviously, cannot find the fairways.
I rest my case.
Or....
Goes to prove they are just as good as the most expensive brand. They do not float and, obviously, they cannot find the fairways.
I rest my case.
KSig may be gone but at my local Costco, north of Pittsburgh, they have a 24 pack of Callaway Chrome Hot 55 for $29.95. Something made for Costco??? Didn't find any of that name on the Callaway website - closest was a Chrome Soft 58 as a special edition ball...

OEM have to modify their product when branded to Kirkland Signature .
The Kirkland Signature should be at the minimum , comparable to the name branded product and in most cases are a little better than the name branded products. I suspect the Chrome Hot 55 is very similar to the Chrome soft 58.
The Kirkland Signature stirred up so much wave, not because it's a superior golf ball than the rest but because they could be compatible in the premium golf ball class and selling below the second teared pricing. once the edge of the low price line is gone so would the magic.
Release lostgolfballs.com has them listed for $39.99 a dozen, at least I assume it's for a dozen.

Kirkland Signature - AAAAA/1st Quality
What a rip off,they're getting as bad as some of the opportunistic gougers on Ebay!
Can't figure out buyers mentality. In the 15 years I worked my custom build shop the one obstacle I couldn't overcome was brand nameitus. No matter how top shelf the head and shaft I used, most of my customers, even friends and family, still wanted the big name OEM. Now these same people will play a ball named Kirkland? I don't get it and I'm glad I'm retired.
It's crazy! My first set of components were some PING Eye 2 clones. My playing partners were all OEM worshippers and called my clubs "no-name bullshit clubs". They really hated them when they had to pay me for losing our bets. I have experienced this for decades now as the ignorant just can't believe a little-known brand can be any good.
raggmann54 If you check the Titleist & Callaway balls at Wal-Mart, you'll often find models that you cannot find anywhere else.
Are you sure you read the box correctly?
Nothing wrong with a quick 33.33% profit.
I think I got some defective k sigs, mine landed on someone's roof today

NO one had told you the secret ?
You'll need to press down between the Kirkland and the Signature before you you teed off, this will allow the golf ball to avoid all hazards including roof top If it's on the turf then too bad, because golfer could not touch the golf ball in play.
Titleist (Acushnet) apparently poked the wrong bear. Costco is suing them:

I think this is just what big companies do when they feel their patent is being infringed. And honestly I don't blame them. If I spent millions of dollars each year for R&D, only to have a wholesaler exploit my product for their own gain, then you better believe I'd be putting my lawyers on notice.
Proving patent infringement, however, especially since Titleist vs Callaway really didn't settle matters in the first patent-infringement war, is a little more tedious.
Costco has more than enough money to finance smarter/more aggressive lawyers.
This will ultimately end up no different than Titleist vs Callaway.
A subsidiary of FILA, Acushnet Company's primary brands are Titleist, FootJoy, Scotty Cameron. Fuck them.
