    Gotta believe these are a former Callaway ball, what with the hex dimple design. The Callaway ball name escapes me at the moment, but I played them when they were out and they were very nice balls. iirc, about 5-6 yrs. ago. They had them like the ProV1 & the Pro V1x, which is the 4 pc. ball for Titleist. Only bad thing about the Callaway ball at that time was the covers would scruff/shear like a potato, so if these Kirklands are the same ball, they are no bargain as one will be going thru a lot of them due to the poor covers. jmo

        Par4QC it looks like some hex dimples, but callaway are all hex.....the kirkland, most are round but there seems to be some hex too, its hard to tell from the pics.

          Southside seems like a good deal, but the hex soft are a surlyn/ionomer cover, not urethane, which is the reason why people are excited about the kirkland ball, especially at the current price.

            The first few batches of online ordering should arrive this week.
            Any real life feedback, yet ?

              I bit, I don't need balls, but for $15 a dozen I'll give them a good go.

                I bought 2 dozen today. Will try to get out soon and report back.

                not on the Costco Canada site...sigh...

                Balls arrived today, they feel nice. Hope they go straight and have a little durability. I'll get out tomorrow or Sunday to give them a round.

                  Be more interested in the durability than the performance. I know it'll perform well.
                  Does the dimple pattern similar to any golf ball you know ? Titleist NXT tour-S or the DT Tru Soft ?

                      Actually it has almost a hexagonal type dimple. Just not as pronounced as the Callaway balls. But, a definite squared off edge to the dimple.

                        I always jiggle my balls before putting them in play! Or, I have someone else jiggle them first if I'm lucky!

                          Ok, I went out into the back yard and hit some full GW shots into my net with this ball to test durability and feel. Ball felt pretty firm, not mushy to me at all.

                          Now, durability seems like it will be ok. My GW is an old Purefit IDraw 51° that can take shavings off of the best premium ball, I put 7 or 8 swings on it and did not see much more then a couple small blemishes. It held up pretty well for that club especially. My other clubs don't affect the ball the way that Purefit does, so I'm guessing it will last for me at least.

                          Oh, I also compared it to the other premium balls I have in my bag. Dimple wise, like I suspected, the Callaway was the closest aesthetically. Bridgestone, Nike, Titleist, and Srixon were not similar at all.

                            Thanks,
                            Sounds like a keeper for $30/2 doz. shipped to the door.

                              Well, here is my short review from my 18 hole round today.

                              Now, I was swinging like poop today, just didn't feel right but I think I got enough good swings mixed in to have an idea about the ball.

                              First thing, this ball seemed to hold its line pretty well with cross winds and into the wind. The wind was howling today 20+ and the ball stayed on its starting line and only moved on the decent.

                              Distance off the driver seemed as good as anything I've used. Again, lots of wind so I was factoring that in but my good swings gave as good or better results then with other premium balls I have used.

                              Iron distance was where I noticed a difference. It could be good or bad depending on how you feel about it, but this ball seemed to really jump off of the irons. I was hitting the ball almost a club farther with crosswind and into the wind I didn't have to club up as much. I actually flew the green twice into the wind when I clubbed up one club. I hit another ball each time with the normal club for that distance and was able to put that ball on the green. So it may take a little practice to dial in iron distance. I want to play it again with less wind to see if the results are the same

                              Ball putted well, firm feel off all the clubs including the putter. Not mushy sounding like some balls.

                              Green side spin? My course has bermuda greens that don't let the ball grab like bent grass, so it was hard for me to tell just how well it spun. I can say it played similar to Pro V balls on the same types of shots in the past. I want to again try it out on a different course with more friendly greens.

                              Full wedge shots seemed to hit and stick pretty close to the ball mark, again just like other premium balls I've played on this course.

                              Durability wise, they are pretty tough little balls. If you have sharp wedges you may leave some marks, but I can do that with all the other premium balls too. No big gouges or anything at all. No cart path (the one path I hit I couldn't find the ball) so can't tell how that would hold up. I did hit a couple trees and couldn't see any damage.

                              For $15 I think these balls are a heck of a deal.

                              Only complaint is that the line on the ball doesn't stand out very well because the font is so small. A sharpie line would be useful on these balls.

                              Now I wonder how many doz. should I get.
