New Kirland (Costco) ball on the way
- Edited
The golf ball are back up on the website, but they are listed at $34.99 for white only.
Better jump on them quick
I might actually be more excited about the fact that there's a yellow ball than a potential design change. My only issue with the current ball is cutting the cover with wedges.
(Distance not an issue... Lol)

I don't think I ever actually tried the V1 ball, but I didn't mind the V2 ball except from a durability issue. Any half decent iron strike would peel big curls off of the cover. I'm actually going to Costco in the morning, if they have this new one in stock I'll have to try a box and see.
JShack01 I liked the V1s performance (4pcs) and I was fine with the 3 pc balls performance. I did notice after hitting out of a bunker that it had a nasty bruise on it, but I did expect something given the cover material. I think we are headed to a Costco so I'm interested in what is in stock if anything.
Guess I don’t have enough juice to shred the cover on the v2. I play the same ball for 33 holes last year before finally losing it and it still looked fine. Strange that halfway through last season I finally decided to settle on one ball for the sake of introducing some consistency to my short game, and now they’ve changed it.

I'd still be playing the Srixon Hi Spin or the Precept EV Spin if they still made them.
:/
johnnydoom I suspect you will be able to find those on the used sites for cheap. It's the most found ball on my home course!

Me too. I played the Nike Spin Control for many years - it was the EV Spin rebranded for Nike.

I’m sure you’re right, but I’ll probably just move on to the v3 unless I find something to be highly unpleasant in the change.
Our local Costco were out already....

I came home with a double dozen Kirkland latest version. Visually comparing the latest to the V2 3pc the dimple pattern is slightly different new ball has double arrows on each side on the alignment mark/logo. Price at the store was $27.99 in white only. If costco offered these in green I would have dropped a bundle on them. Nothing in yellow.
ode I agree, those V2 3pc balls were super-spinny, super high launching, and very short (at least for me).
I still have a few cases of the OG 4pc balls left, it's literally all I've played since the day they came out! Really glad I loaded up as soon as I heard the rumors they were being discontinued.

Same here. I played in a tournament recently and lost my ball in deep grass short of the green. I find it and pitch it to the green. After I mark my ball, I notice a player in the tournament who was playing the adjacent hole looking in the same spot. So I ask what kind of ball he's looking for. He said Kirkland. I respond I'm also playing a Kirkland but it's the OG 4-piece, to which he responded, me too. I then describe my markings on the ball, two orange dots, to which he responded me too. I go back to show him my ball and he said that's it. I then look around and find another ball...sure enough it was a Kirkland 4-piece with two orange dots one above and below the logo, just like the one I found. After that I always make a unique mark on all my balls.
