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. 
New Kirland (Costco) ball on the way

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.
Stu1961 Read, some pros make a mark on practice days balls different from the game day since they have a tendency to hit to the same locations

Maybe that's our problem, we are not going out and hitting balls the day before the big match to where we WANT our ball to be?
Seriously, @pellmell, that's some serious coincidence there that I have never seen.

And I did go to Costco as advertised, they didn't have any of the new balls in the store. I asked my cashier if they had sold out already and she hollered over to a young guy on the computer and he putzed around on his system for a bit and told me that they were still on the way but he had no indication yet when they would arrive.
So, no lasting harm done.

Anyone use this ball yet?
