KCee I found the 3 piece ball (V1) to be noticeably shorter off the tee

Double yep.

    Weirfan I found 2 Kirkland balls last week. Played one Tuesday, it didn't like me much...

      I must be in a very small window. For the two rounds I've played it (v2) it was just as long as anything I've played except the TP5 (that somehow occasionally transports me back 15 years ago in age and strength) which I can't easily afford. I've tried at least 2 dozen ball brands/models over the past two years.

        sdandrea1 Just back from Las Cruces and no boxes. I will get one and send them out this weekend, maybe tomorrow

          Bravopilot Are you guys talking about the COSTCO balls?

          Yes. The first version supposedly had a cover that was easily damaged. They've claimed to have improved that with version 2. Whether or not anything changed with regards to performance I cannot say just yet - although a member of the forum did send me some of the first version and so I should be able to make a head-to-head comparison next time I play.

              Spuzz Apparently I'm one of the few that more spin doesn't hurt. Can't really say it helps, but apparently I get enough extra carry with the spin to make up for any lost roll. I also don't generally hit a lot of curve balls, so the spin doesn't much penalize me in that area either.

                KCee 3 pc. Ball = very spinny, for me short off the tee which is a non starter. The 4 pc. Ball was very good!

                    I have found that ANYTHING more than a 2-piece ball degrades my game.

                        Eguller Even with your new found confidence and short game prowess. ? 😎

                        Nope. The 3+ layer balls seem dead off the driver for me.

                            sdandrea1 The softest ball I've ever hit is the Pro V1. Also, maybe the shortest I've hit.
                            ProV1x is dynamite OTOH.

                              When they appear in the stores, I'm going to open a set and put just the 8, 9, & W in my cart and see what happens at checkout. 😎
