Birdiehunter17 Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 I agree, and tell people, it is comparable to the ProV1x. The numbers in the review pretty much sum up how I felt about playing the ball.

Hula Rock Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Personally, I think it's more like the ProV1x, and even more like the TaylorMade TPX. I'm not a ProV fan anyway - so it's easy for me to like this ball a hell of a lot better... To me it feels like a Srixon XV. Took a couple of holes to get use to the feel off the putter, but after that everything about this ball is PREDICTABLE.....

PlaidJacket Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I read the review/test on the blog about the Ksig vs PV1. It's pretty much what I expected. I've been playing them since around mid-October when I got my first shipment. My initial finding was the ball is longer. I estimated at the time 5-8 yards. The MGS test was 9 yards longer. Works for me. Distance is the one thing I can't lose anymore of. Therefore and thanks to a fantastic golf ball sold at a discount warehouse club I've gained yardage. I couldn't do that with a new driver. I know because I tried last summer. As good as Titleist products are I'm calling BS on them with their PV1 balls. They're not ripping anybody off mind you. They're just charging a high price because people are willing to pay it. I'd do the same. I have one more request for MGS. Let's take this experiment a step further and test the Ksig ($15), PV1 ($48), and MG Tour ($20). And the winner is??

Kenny B Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 So, the MGS performance test supports the conclusions drawn by all MGS forum members that played the KSig ball.

snagy2000 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I love this ball! Paired with my Nike Vapor flex 440 with a GD AD BB shaft, this thing is getting me considerably more than 10 yards off the tee and plenty of my buddies money over the last month.

MmmmmmBuddy Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 This ball might be a very close copy of the Taylormade TP ball.

newballcoach Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I still think it's BS this ball is not available to Canadians (can't even get them to ship it here, despite my phone call and being very charming). Golf equipment retail in this country is a freaking joke. Every club is at least $100 more than it is in the US, if it's even available here. Total bullshit they won't ship the Ksig here, the only ball I can order at Costco is a Polara!!! Rant over. This ball sounds awesome, and it seems like something that will really help the consumer in the long run because it could force OEM's to re-evaluate their price points. If Costco can sell this ball at the price they do, those guys need to take a look at their production capabilities and techniques in order to compete. But Canadians will still pay $65 for a pack of 12 Pro V1's. Because Canada.

Tom54 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Guy at my course gave me one right before MGS announced the test. I messed around with it this past weekend comparing it to a Pro-V1x. Gotta say, I couldn't much tell the difference. The Pro-V1x probably feels a little better off the club, but I was getting the same distance and on short wedges around the green the Costco ball was behaving about the same. Very interesting.

Kenny B Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 There have been many small golf ball companies come and go; all trying to compete with the big boys for a little piece of the market, some listed here. A few have been sued by Titleist. But the Kirkland Signature ball is different. Costco doesn't make golf balls. The ball is made in Korea by a reputable golf ball manufacturer, and is branded and sold by Costco. Personally, I think Titleist, and other golf company ball manufacturers as well, should be worried. Costco is a marketing company and if the ball can legitimately compete with the ProV1 at a fraction of the cost, it could hurt sales of all the other top tour balls. If this ball continues to be marketed by Costco at $15/dozen, the prices of other tour balls will have to drop. I wonder what arrangements Costco has with Nassau Golf in Korea. Nassau could be reaping huge benefits from this. However, as with many Costco-branded items, they can quickly disappear or be replaced with a different product. Time will tell, but I'm going with Costco staying with the Nassau ball (assuming there is a Nassau contract) and the price will go up a little. It's understandable when you sell out of a product as quickly as they did with this ball. silver & black 1 Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chisag Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 ... Kenny B, I don't really see the KS competing with the ProV1. I do think they will take a bite out of every other brand though. Most ProV1 buyers do so for the prestige either personally or as a gift. When balls like the Lethal or Z Star go on sale or Snell and Vice sell for $25-30 and still don't make a dent in ProV1 sales, that tells you something. ... Now at $15 a dozen the KS could take sales away from other Titlest balls like NXT, DT TRuesoft and Velocity but not ProV1's. . Time will tell. Quote Driver: Qi10 10.5* ...

I don't think this will happen any time soon but I would guess that is the ceiling that Costco has on these money wise. I could see next year letting them creep closer to $35-40 for 2 dozen.

mbrodeur86 Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Guys you can add me to the list of people wanting to try these balls. I absolutely love my Snell MTB and I read the article putting the ks against the prov1 but since a lot of us here are using Snell I would love a test done between ks and the Snell. As for the type of ball a 15 hdp is using. I remember buying a load of prov1 balls on eBay and I was maybe a 10-12 hdcp at the time. I could barely keep the ball in play because it spun too much off the driver. I think if higher hdcpers want to really get into lower scores, they should always play the ball that they can control the best. At a 5.3 index, I need a ball that sits on the green. Granted I have used the get sum ball for practice and it's great it just doesn't sit on the Greens. Play the one that you can control the best and that keeps you in play than experiment once your swing gets better Sent from my XT1563 using MyGolfSpy mobile app ole gray 1 Quote DRIVER: Stealth 2, 9*, Mitsubishi Kai' Li red, 60g Stiff flex, Golf Pride CP2 Pro Midsize Woods: Sim Max 3 Wood, 15*, Fujikura Ventus 6 Blue 65g, Stiff flex, Golf Pride CP2 Pro Midsize HYBRIDS: JPX 850 hybrid 19*, UST Proforce V2 85g, Stiff, Golf Pride CP2 Pro Midsize IRONS: MP-20 HMB 4 iron, Project X LZ 6.5 shaft, Stiff+, Ping Midsize grip JPX 919 Tour 5i-pw, Project X LZ 6.5 shafts, Stiff+, Ping Midsize grips WEDGES: New Level Golf 50*, 55*, 60* M-Type Wedges with True Temper Elevate Tour X-Stiff flex, New Level Midsize grips PUTTER: Heppler Ketsch 35", Ping PP62 Pistol Grip BALL: Pro Pro V1 (2021 + 2023 Versions) BAG: TM19 Select Plus Cart Bag Shoes: Under Armour HOVR Fade 2 SL Spikeless Shoes Tech: NX7 Pro Slope golf laser Rangefinder Frogger Golf Towels, 4 more Yard blue/ yellow golf tees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chisag Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 ... I think you have touched on one of the huge advantages of the KS. When playing a practice round and dropping multiple balls and attempting to hut different shots, it is brutal to lose a ball that cost $45 a dozen. I have always kept balls that hit cart paths, roots or just scuffed after several rounds in the "extra" pocket of my bag. But at $15 a dozen you can pull out new balls for practice rounds which are much more productive, especially the short game when you may chip 5 or 6 times and balls with big chunks or very abrasive scuff marks may perform differently. ... Playing last week and had the course to myself so I was attempting to work out some fade issues that had been turning into slices, not fades. Tee'd up a second ball and attempted a fade into a 17mph wind where the spin would be exaggerated making a near perfect shot a necessity. Promptly curved a new KS over the fence 30 yds right of my target. Tee'd up a 3rd and corrected the flight. That was the only ball I lost and didn't feel too bad about it but really worked out some of the kinks in my fade game, which I rarely use but nice to have in the bag. ... So not only is the KS a good gamer, it is an excellent practice ball. Especially considering a dozen ProV1x balls with PRACTICE written on them are twice the price. fozcycle and PlaidJacket 2 Quote Driver: Qi10 10.5* ... Ventus Red Velocore 5R Fairway: Qi10 5 wood ...

PlaidJacket Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Another Ksig comment... Friday I played. It was windy and around 57. As far as I can tell the Ksig handled the wind and cooler weather just fine. It was challenging day in the wind for sure. Shot 80. The next day... yesterday; conditions were awesome but colder starting out. When we hit the first tee it was sunny, 48*, and no wind. Again I played a Ksig all day carding a 75. At the start of the round I was expecting the Ksig might feel a little firmer in the colder temps but I never got that impression.
