TESTERS WANTED! ×

THE ONE AND ONLY KIRKLAND SIGNATURE BALL THREAD


Recommended Posts

Hey all, this is really fun to hear MGS X talking with Haney on sirius/XM radio.

 

Haney still wants to argue about Human testing golfballs......is he for real?  Humans play Golf, not robots.

My opinion might be a bit bias as I am a firm believer in what MGS does, but X is doing an amazing job defending his testing and why it is valid. Makes me believe in the results that much more than I already did. Very well spoken. Clear and concise.

I like the Titleist logo. It's iconic. Titleist makes great equipment too. But.... they aren't the only ones. For me I get a kick out of finding products that are "just as good or better" as the named brands. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Price many times is my motivation but not always. Recently I decided to try the grocery store brand of Ketchup. The packaging looked good and the size was slightly more for a lower price. Didn't work. I didn't like the taste at all. I'll stick with Heinz. I recall getting on the MG Golf - Tour C4 several years ago. Wow! I found a "tour" ball for $20 bucks a dozen. Imagine that. How can that be? Well, it be. Same nowadays with the Ksig. And... as far as I'm concerned I think the Kirkland Signature logo is fine. I also like the smaller alignment aid and the tiny numbers on the balls. I also think the Ksig is a brighter white than other balls.

 

If the Kirkland goes away one day or whatever someone else is watching this and will try to catch lightening in a bottle as Costco has done. Anyone ever played a Walmart Choice - 4pc urethane? You might one day.

This is great!!  What great advertising.  I suspect there will be an influx of readers of MGS based on this interview with X.  

 

I think MGS should invite a Hank Haney or other nationally known Golf guru to our testing facility.  It might be nice to have them involved in a test!!

Is Morning Drive next? They should do a remote from the MGS test facility.

I've had Xm forever. but don't listen to it except in my car. Don't want to access it on my phone, or computer either.

Surely one of your smart guys can post the audio here.

I think the problem is the legality of posting it here.

I just spoke with Hank (XM Radio live) and I gave .02 in terms of what ball I was playing prior to it, he seems to beginning to believe that the ball could make the difference in the smaller markets and who knows if we may see it on tour used by a rookie???

Another caller giving big props to Kirkland. He really has no response other than saying how embarrassing it is to step up to the first tee saying your playing a Kirkland.

It was a great morning for MGS!

 

 

The boss man is killing it. Not a huge Haney fan but I respect him for listening to what the boss had to say.

 

 

Sent from my iPhone while sitting at the 19th hole.

 

I wasn't able to listen as I was on a conference call that was going to determine my pay structure for next year, so that was kinda important  :D

 

I'll definitely listen to both this afternoon in the archives.  Can't wait to hear.   Nice job from what I hear X!!

X did a great job, I came on right after he was off the air...I have to agree with Severtheties, I was being clowned the moment I tee'd it up, I got the "what is that" shout...lol, they still paid for lunch though.

So Carl and Dennis Paulson is on now. Saying they can't believe to "Joe Schmo" can hit it 10 yards longer and there's no way MGS's testing is valid. Queue up X hopefully.........might be a long day of golf radio.......

I understand the doubters, but just put the ball in their hands and have them do the comparison themselves, that being said, they might not give their honest opinion, but that's fine...the ball may not work for everyone, but for the vast majority the price cannot be beat and the performance is up to par with the "top names" in the game.

Breed keeps talking about Quality Control, which is fair, however, I didn't listen to the show, but have seen what he says on twitter. My question is this, did he even mention that the manufacture of the ball has been making balls for a long time. I would think/hope they have solid QC. I have played through a dozen and no issues. Also Costco back their products 100%. I am sure if they were to get a ton of returns due to bad quality they would do something about it.

I believe MGS X told Haney that the Nassau company that makes the Kirkland also makes balls for TMAG, and Costco probably purchased a TMAG formula to make their own ball.

The ITR guys just told me that as a 10 hcp, it doesn't matter whether I play a PV1 or TopFlite, because I'm a 10!!  These guys are don't have a clue.  Not all 10's are created equal.
