THe upper right photo is mine and thats actually the 2nd ball in the sleeve. The first ball I hit my first iron shot a little thin (that's my usual miss) and got up to the green, cleaned my ball off and there was a cut on it..Not all the way through, but a black line across it. I was using a Srxion z585 PW. So I switched the ball out 2 holes later. Keep in mind I've never cut a ball before from slightly thinning a shot. The ball in the pic is after I smoked a tree. Again, I have neve had a brand new ball cut wide open after hitting a tree. A scuff or some road rash is what I expected to see, not the cover torn up. It was actually curled up under itself when I picked it up. IT seems like the underside of the cover is slippery and it doesn't stick to the 2nd layer very well. I loved the OG 4 piece and have a box of the 3 piece (that I use in early spring), so I am a huge fan of the kirkland golf products (i also use the gloves, not in the pic because it was hot and humid yesterday). I am actually shocked by the cover, I have played all the top balls this season, and have never once had a ball cut and the cover fold up under itself. Performance wise the ball is legit. Great spin off my wedges, and long off the driver. So it sucks that the cover has quality control issues.
