Corporate buyers from Costco are among the best in the business !
It's extremely difficult to get in on a Kirkland Signature brand.
It'll be very unlikely someone else would step in and take the K.S. branding from the current supplier. Since most of the golf balls were manufactured overseas anyway. What Costco did, was to go pass the retail and the wholesale , directly to the manufacturer for such a low price and able to get 15% profit after all the fees and tax from importing it.
Although, I'd think a lot of them wish the K.S. would disappear.
It's not a perfect golf ball for every golfer, but for the value, can't beat it.
I still prefer the Titleist NXT Tour better than their top of the line Pro V1, V1x and slightly edge out the K.S. because I get more distance off the driver with the NXT Tour. Too bad I can't get the NXT Tour for even $20 a doz. But, I get a doz. of Taylormade Project A coming for test drive next month.
