Kirkland Signature Golf Balls Review

Hi guys my crops on here in my hand today I've got the Kirk drone golf ball this is Costco's golf ball selling I think that 1499 dollars at start they're limiting the stock or the how many you can buy when they come back into stock so you know I think I'm reading here like 24 packs per customer no bulk buying so it's a cheap golf ball that's meant performs good learning on the market I'm going to take out on the golf course because well as the custom putting environment and test what the Kirkland Signature has to offer so the Kirkland bog signature ball we're going to read from the box here it is a four piece urethane color golf ball I've got my numbers here and I've compared it to my chrome soft which is all I gain the core larger and soft core for maximum distance out of course speed-boosting article from maximum impact energy transfer and it religious reasons on the Box in mantle super fast mantle that works the cover to optimize spin and energy transfer cover soft touch durable European cover for green size control this is so exciting everything that other balls kind of say now when I put it through a dry test environment let's show you what I came up with so I started hitting with a 7-iron your numbers up here in front of me go 1:5 for distance spinning around five nine now if we compare that to my chrome soft here one five for distance and spinning at five eight thirty peak height to 31 with the Kirkland 20 degrees launch to nineteen point six very very similar now if we take it to a 56-degree way to the Kirkland here was spinning a five three going in at 88 yards I was trying to hit it 90 to averaging 88 87 90 86 spinning at 5 3 if we compare that to my chrome sauce now we see a massive difference in 9000 with my grand sauce going in at 92 yards further so like it is that didn't feel right to me that felt too big a difference it didn't feel like that should be the kind of the amount of difference so I hit another set of chrome soft pictures trying to go nine yards or something like 89 yards and you see it's back down at 5 - and here lies the danger with people talking about golf ball and testing golf balls certainly in a dry environment like that there are so many factors that can determine things like spin but lots of people don't understand to me I was making sure the ball my face and the mat I was hitting off was as clean as possible because aging getting trapped between the ball and the face can affect the friction on the face of the Prospectus speed just follow Andrew rice if you want some great information on spin because a great test where you just puts water on the face hit shot compared to no war on the face and the spin changes dramatically because the friction changes so you watch anyone in a shot if I just bring the ball on hit another shot just think they're comparable is going to be pot luck on what is left on that face in those grooves those kind of things so actually it was much higher spinning my chrome soft but then when I tried it again it was very similar so 5 3 for the kirklands and it came back to 5 to 35 of my Craigslist now if we go to Kirkland on the driver - 5 7 missiles with my sub-zero driver as well spinning at 1 7 and if you go to my chrome soft spring at 1 9 going at 265 and this is where I could see any of the difference which will small apart from the feel aspects which we're going to go on to in a second when we get on the course which is much more built around kind of a real gaming feel of that gospel and I did find the Kirkland tend to spin very low that a 1/4 in there dropping down 1/4 going 1 5 6 that's falling out the air where the crows offer me stays a little bit more consistent with its spin rate kept me around that mm which is kind of a really my optimum so get a consistent distance and you can see from the results there the distance was different if you look at the curt close one five three ball speed if you look at Microsoft one five three ball speed but the difference the difference because of that spin model basically one five seven two one six five with Microsoft let's get it out and of course interesting the only other thing I know is hitting this ball is it did seem to deteriorate fractionally quicker or a bit more quicker than my true because chrome sauce it did feel like it wasn't going to last quite as long do remember the price points quite different it's getting Eve a little farm golf course right on the text wendy is guilty funds of my epic sub-zero we've got the Kirkland against light chrome soft Truvy's if we knows any difference is drive testing up here at rallies with leaving take this score the additional yes I hit that well see if we are to keep us very breezy that he to me yeah that's like their little shop don't really much mean those two Italian let's see right here we go Kirkland just up the left and there is my Callaway ball not much in that at all really and very very similar it performs wow it doesn't feel that I want a boarder feel anymore but for people who do all the ball feels that way nice performance pretty cool so I've moved forward to the red please because it gives me a 160 yard shot into this beautiful par free the flag lesson just over this ghost bush typical link style Gulf and 7-iron Kirkland and my choosing go ahead my true biz first time that's quite wow it's a nice sound yes let's see how that feels in relationship to the Kirtland you could see from the numbers collected there was not much really in it it's going to boil down a lot to me but that feel that sound how I walk also kind of feel like it's forming they're almost like testicle pick going in the same spot let's get up there and see BHS and see if they're dating to notice on how that will with stop or not but you can see from the drive that kind of status not much in it that when check it out so there's my chrome sauce through vids and there is the cartridge and the pitch marks both of these two balls are almost at same distance apart from each other I not seen really any differences in stopping again I like the color of that one like in the field what much in it guys have a bit of fun with this curtain ball around the green I've got two of these and I've also got my chrome soft out there are 56 very tricky chipping in this wind and a lot of slope here this could make me look silly thank you or insulting a possible trip maybe not the best idea but what a good test certainly the best shot to the Kirkland it feels a little harder a little Pina but I can compare it to a chrome soft which I'm really enjoying some socks but that book feels as good at anything so we need to try with the putter as well there's an audible difference between my two balls Kirkland feeling that little bit louder harder if you like but that's an audible thing rather than a physical putter face it is water clip and it's certainly not a puffle hold it my line is feeling softer it's a different sound but you can see the performance at a whole different catalyst be when it comes to what it goes like with a putter I prefer the feel of mine but the government feels as good as anything we're going to set it already we have them still feel feel feel feel feel feel feel feel feel feel feel feel feel feel feel feel feel feel follow me on twitter facebook instagram snapchat periscope all the normal social places also come visit my new website marcus of golf calms the uff

hi guys it's Rick shields down here at Qwest Golf Academy here at Prairie sport village I've actually got my hands on the brand-new golf ball that is taking the golf industry by storm and this is the signature Kirkland Signature golf ball by Costco so Matthew Woodcock who is in the USA from New York actually sent me a dozen these golf balls to test and I thought you know what I'm hearing so much news about these Kirkland signatures I've got to give it a go so many of those and I'm very guilty of this we stick with the same brands golf ball for many many years either top names with client list or a Callaway we can want to use in this review video and we kind of stick with those names that we know about but there's so many golf balls coming out in the market now all names unknown brands that bringing out golf balls and it's like well why do so much cheaper what is the difference because the same the performance is the same so I want to test that theory actually want to see if that's the case this golf ball was first brought to my attention by the guys at my dog spy they did a test on this against the pro we won I saw some great results archers for the link in below you can actually see that for yourself I wanted to test it myself against my current golf ball I use when I play I use the Callaway chrome soft which I've I'm in my bags for about a year now I wanted to see how it compared to that now golf ball testing is so individual it on real so the day's trying to give you today's based on me hitting golf balls I've tried to make the whole experiment as closed as possible I've pulled the simulator across inside I'm hitting on duty to HMT and when you use the same golf club across every ball test I do this year I'm going to keep certain golf clubs just the golf ball testing and I've really gone into depth of actually how can we make this the most comparable comparison ever for me and remember this this is me swinging the golf about how I swinging it not for you guys because everyone swings it differently so I want to give you some data about what I am finding but also giving you some idea about the gold or maybe the durability of it and the softness of it as well I'm also going to use this beast to cut these golf balls in half and see what's inside stay tuned to the end of the video as well because I'm actually going to look at picking three golfers to test these golf balls for me so stay tuned to the end the video I'll tell you how you can so let me start with the ideas I needed to test it against something and because I use the colorway at the moment I want to test this golf ball the Kirkland Signature against the color weight so I've gone and the four tests I've done the shots with driver aiming at swinging at 110 miles per hour striking it in the middle and seeing what the results are I then also did the same test with a 7-iron trying to hit them pull him out the middle same swing speed I hit a hundred yard shot to see what's been characteristics were getting from them different and also 50 yards 50 yards wedge shots and I've done all that testing I already see I'm going to go through the data now I'm actually not roughly looked through it myself this could be quite interesting and I'm also going to give you a bit of an idea of feel of these two golf balls I hope I will take the Kirkland Signature out on the golf course and play with it because until I actually play a full round of golf with it see what the durability is like see what the feel is around the green it's only really days to ball base I'm going to be able to show you here and what I'm feeling from a test that I used to do as a kid is to bite golf balls to see how softly fell so let's go into the idea of what is new with this Kirkland Signature let's get the box the box is just a plain black one looks very low-cost because it is these golf balls are selling for $15 a dozen in the US which in the UK translates to somewhere around one pound per golf ball which is super cheap compared to some of the top-ranked it claiming it's a four piece golf ball with a youth-oriented golf ball and the box is so simple it's on true she's got what we got a call with a soft touch durable urethane cover for green side control I'm going to bite up it does feel a sock I can get my piece in that and just feel stop then is a mantle which is a super fast mantle that works with the cover to optimize spin and energy transfer then there is an outer core then there is a core but really we need to actually see what's inside this golf ball so I've got this instrument if I cut my fingers off please post them up and hopefully we can get them fixed already we see loads of different colors we see exactly what we've seen on the box the mantle the core cover the mantle the outer core and the core are all involved in that you actually see the four piece construction going into that ball I mean called a Callaway open so we can actually see what that looks like in comparison yeah the Callaway is just a three piece construction it doesn't actually say much on the Box apart from the fact this long straight low spin we get all the same ideas on every single box everything the Border's to say one off the tee soft feel and excellent control so you can see the difference between the two there with the Kirkland on the right and the Cal around the left the actual difference in the inside of the golf ball is that you can definitely do the Kirkland with it being a floor cover the idea with a four core is all those different layers are supposed to react differently depending on what shot you're hitting whether it's a drive which comes through ways they've got energy into the golf ball or a wedge shot when it's not quite so much energy taking it out and turning spin okay so let's dive into the data I'm gonna go with driver first how I carried out this test I hit five golf shots with each golf ball or tournament all two alternating each time and actually picks three of the best shots and when I say best shots I mean best for the test not my best ever shot so I wanted all shots of carrying a hundred miles traveled under 10 miles for a club at speed and strike that came out the middle of the clubface and then these are the data that we got from those three particular golf shots we see that the Kirkland Signature actually carried one yard further to the Callaway's that is nothing absolutely nothing not even measurable but interestingly are getting much slower ball speed out of Kirkland much slower two miles per hour slower but lower spin rate therefore getting that business because the launch was slightly higher so the launch is actually coming out making higher lower spin but with less ball speed it was actually gaining distance which is very interesting to see I'm sure the club day today so you can see that for yourselves the Kirkland Signature on average of the three just struck slightly hammer higher on the face which is definitely something to consider I was trying to get those strikes as close I could that you can see that slightly higher so that brought the spin down a little bit potentially yes call that speed day you can see the Kirkland Signature when I was hitting it with the drive was a tiny bit slower I like all of the driver shops I hit with a Callaway epic sub-zero ten degree driver in the our dealer rogue Shack I'm going to use that driver for every ball test I do in the studio throughout this year even if I'm using that driver or not the driver I will use every single test and apart from that you can kind of not see a great deal of difference almost no difference at all so that was the driver let's move into the iron and I hit seven iron which was actually the pink I am I blade and I've actually got an eye blade that's almost brand new I've never even hit it so that's what I tested all of the shots on today with it with an eye blade I've almost never hit and couldn't believe the similarities in carry distance the carry distance was identical 165 on both Callaway chrome soft and the Kirkland Signature spin rate was almost identical Callaway just spinning a tiny bit higher but the launch angle again for the Kirkland was ridiculously higher three degrees higher 3 degrees considering the ball speed is the same and the and the strike location again is so close to each other that launch angles for the Kirkland that is really much much higher and therefore the descent angle was coming in lower down and that ball will probably stop quicker obviously actually was not showing that on the to do good good to do yeah actually the Kirkland Signature even though it carried 165 it stopped 2 yards shorter that's very interesting to see the spin rates was very similar but it was going higher the Kirkland golf ball was definitely going higher let them move down to the wedges I did a hundred-yard wedge shot so a hundred-yard wedge shot now here the similarities in carry distance flight everything are equal absolutely perfectly equal the carry distance on the calendar and the curve fundamentally this I hit five and I picked three of them that were going to average around the 100 mark 100 carry on both of the shots of both of the golf balls but interestingly Kirkland had 1,000 more rpm speed that is a lot the Callaway at 10,000 the Kirkland at 11,000 11,000 which is pretty impressive the you'll see here her carry in total is a bit of a discrepancy there because one of the carry distances on the simulation software and I'll show you actually hit the flag and then rolled back off the green to 93 yards that wasn't spin that was just a flag so I can't really give it a toll but the carry distance is able to say with higher spin you're going to imagine that Kirkland is going to stop a little bit quicker we see again the day so I'll show you all the data you can see clobbered speed a little bit faster with occurs from that occasion low and slightly off the bottom with both start points which is last strike for my wedge to get the most spin again very very similar and then going into finally the 50-yard shot so did 50 yards 50 yards we see last spin weirdly with the Kirkland 50 yards and 50 yards carry again looked higher slighted with the Kirkland than the Callaway same everything else just lower spin with the 50-yard shot so I was fine I was getting mostly with a hundred-yard shot but left with a 50-yard shot and durability something I want to cover because I hit those shot I hit both of those golf balls and 20 times each with full shots drivers and wedges the one that came out the most battered was definitely the Kirkland the durability on it is nowhere near as good I'm not my impressed with the durability is quite a lot of scratch marks already considering that I was on it I'll hit into a simulator and grunt the only thing in its defense the wedge screws was sharp and brand new so that might have just been like cooked up a lot but quite a lot of external damage on the cover of that golf ball of the Kirkland so I would question how long it's going to be durable for are you paying extra because the price point is a little bit higher there for the cover is a little bit more durable and softness a definite start to cook when it's softer is when I bite it so late that Kirkland is definitely from the color to touch and I would presume that's going to relate back into chipping and putting which is still a massive factor when you're considering a new golf ball I will take the golf balls out onto the golf course the Kirkland and the Callaway I'll actually play with them in the course while coming food and in the course was I'll talk about the actual softness of it I think it's much better in a real life scenario when I've played the golf ball a little bit more to give that idea I want to give some data on the shot considering the price point the only thing I'm seeing it different is the durability of this color I don't feel like the durability of the curtain cover just on initial testing is anywhere near as good with the Callaway considering the shots are different and there's hardly any damaged part of the balls in half mounts hardly any damage on a particular ball I use the same ball for all the tests as well I didn't swap ball I'll use the same ball every time so very interesting I found that that was for me if I was looking at actually investing this book would a little bit of scrap him put me off with ball that was three times less price absolutely not performance I'm seeing great performance from that Kirkland I really am I was really impressed with that the Callaway have great performance too but for the price point you cannot beat that Kirkland I don't believe these are available in the UK yet and they're only in the US and they're really difficult to get hold of and I was saying before the star of the video who wants to test these golf balls I want some testers anywhere in the world you can test these I'm going to send you three of them and all I need to do is fill out a bit of a questionnaire for me towards the end so comment below with your name your handicap your current handicap where you live in the world of what golf ball you currently use and if you don't use any just say not I don't use any you know any particular brand ideal I want players who actually pick use a particular style of golf ball because I want you to take it head to head with your current golf ball guys thanks watches sorry it's a bit long-winded I was really trying to keep this a lot more calm down this book job on it and just a lot more details to go into but I will make this much more easier to read into going into the future now we've got a benchmark of what golf balls we see we can now start to test more and I've got loads more to test guys thanks for watching hope you enjoyed the video if you did click thumbs up comment below if you want to test these golf balls you name your handicap where you live and what golf ball you currently use and I'm going to put these on me probably a bit of a shelf over there now put all these new half golf balls on thanks for watching guys we'll see you next time
