PlaidJacket 7,725 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 I knuckled under and bought some more. LOL Yes the site didn't seem for have them ready to order until about 1/2 hour after the "expected" available time. 8am PST. It took about 12 minutes to get the order completed. Crashed once on me. I didn't need any more balls of any kind. I just couldn't refuse the allure. These balls will be Legend. 1 Quote My Sun Mountain bag currently includes: 771CSI 5i - PW and PFC Micro Tour-c 52°, 56°, 60 wedges EXS 10.5*, 929-HS FW4 16.5* Willimette w/GolfPride Contour Link to post Share on other sites
Kenny B 24,318 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 I decided to get a couple of dozen just to see how they play. I got on the website, and they were available at 8:30 like PJ said. I put them in my cart, then tried to pay for them. The system ran soooo slow, then crashed. I kept seeing the Ksigs flying out of my cart, and I couldn't do anything about it. Gone... sorry... the cart says they are there, but I can't have them. Anything that is this hard to buy is not worth my time. My charge out rate before I retired was $350/hour. 5 Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to post Share on other sites
Orange Hog 327 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Man I tried several times to get an order to go through. The site froze up every single time and when it finally got to my cart to complete checkout it was out of stock. Unreal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
L.I. Rich 223 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 It was a real mess trying to get an order in. Some how I wound up with qty 4 in the cart. Credit card was charged, and order received... we shall see. Now I just need to plan a golf trip next month so I'm not staring at them all winter! I was talking to a buddy last night about Streamsong. I've never been, but the website makes the place look like heaven on earth... 1 Quote <p>In my bag: Ping G LS Tec 9* Tour 65 Stiff, Cobra F8 3-4 wood HZRDUS Yellow 6.0, Calloway 21* X Forged Utility iron (steel stiff), Ping G30 white dot 4-9 Stiff 110 gm KBS tours Scor 48,52,56,60 Wedges, Nike Method Core MC3</p><p> Link to post Share on other sites
djahubes 1,261 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 It hilarious that people are trying to sell them on eBay for ProV prices or higher. Yeah, they are good, but the whole appeal was the price point. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Birdiehunter17 31 Posted December 20, 2016 Author Share Posted December 20, 2016 But people are buying them off ebay at those prices. I would not but people are. I really like the Snell and Vice balls personally, but shipped for $17.50 a dozen its just too good to pass up. I am not just hyping for the sake of hyping, but for me around the greens is where is ball is the best for my game. I can get it to check or roll out if need be. Some balls for me only seem to do one or the other. I just hope for other golfers sake that Costco can keep these on the shelves. I am stocked up for a good while now, 13 dozen.

I have a couple dozen from before. They are good. In my opinion they are not as good as the ProV, based solely on my experience. For $15 a dozen well worth it, for $50, you would be crazy. I'm not convinced that the quality control is in place, and I have noticed variations from ball to ball. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chomper 13 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 I don't understand the rush on these balls. As most of the country is freezing their nuts off, and these will be in stores nationwide in March, I don't see what the urgency for these balls are. Although, in the spirit of full disclosure, I grabbed 2 doz when they were released in my local Costco in October... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Birdiehunter17 31 Posted December 21, 2016 Author Share Posted December 21, 2016 My nuts are still out playing golf, even before this year when I moved I still played two rounds a month. Plus it is xmas, so I am sure people are buying them for presents. And who knows when they will have them in stock again.

hckymeyer 6,257 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I had two orders placed. One on my membership, one on my parents. I got the first cancellation email due to overwhelming demand it's out of stock and can't be fulfilled. No idea if I will get another one or not, fingers crossed. Check your emails to see if you've been cancelled. Quote Driver: Epic SZ w/ VA Composites Raijin 65 04 3w: '16 M2 hl w/ Diamana D+ 82 5w: Launcher HB w/ HZRDUS Yellow Hybrid: 22 deg.

Peterpc2828 716 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Wow!!! Did you guys hear Hank Haney radio this morning??? He is poo pooing the MGS testing, he said only valid test is with robots, he says there is no way it goes farther than any other ball, he says all balls are basically the same. He does say that this may change the golf ball industry. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kenny if you need a sleeve I could probably send you one as a stocking stuffer. Don't worry about it. I seriously doubt that they are much different for me than Snell MTB, and the time to use them won't be for a couple of months. If Costco can't get enough to fill orders, I don't want to even consider it. Maybe by spring they will be on the shelves.
