THE BEST VALUE GOLF BALL // Comparing the Kirkland Signature 3.0 vs Titleist Pro V1x

Today, Ian and Mikey take a deep dive into the notorious Costco Golf Ball. Directly comparing the new version to the Titleist Pro V1x, Ian and Mikey look to solve the question: Is Costco's Kirkland golf ball preform just as good as the Titleist? For less than half the price per ball no less.

I'm a 15 handicapper senior and I'm not as consistent as Ian with my swing. I bought a box of Kirkland v3 yellow balls and find them as good as every other ball in my bag. Most of the discrepancy is ME, not the ball.

Can we get a Kirkland signature vs Maxfli tour video next. Battle of the best value balls.

[mikec.]

This is why you guys are the best and my go to for true data based info. I found the previous version of KSig (V2) to be shorter than I would have liked off the tee - perhaps worth a stop in at Costco on the way home to pick up 2 doz of the V3 to try. The wife asked me to stop in for a chicken anyways!! LOL.

The Kirkland golf gloves are easily the best value in golf gloves. Three for the price of 1 "premium" glove. Just as good, and most of my friends have converted as well. I can't imagine the ball is much worse than the ProV1x. Now to watch the video and see what the boys think.

Given the Kirkland V3 is about 1/3rd the price, I'd say the average golfer with a handicap north of 7 would be well served just playing the cheaper ball. There wasn't enough appreciable difference between the two for anyone but the best players to notice.

I give Mikey and Ian a lot of credit for giving some of the other brands some attention now. They specialize in testing the latest and greatest. But, to get their expert opinions on the not so latest and greatest is appreciated too. Especially for us budget minded beginners.

Off topic: I’ve watched so many of your golf ball reviews that I said to my wife that I could close my eyes and tell what club you were hitting by sound alone. She tested me and I was 100% right. I shouldn’t be proud of something like that…but I am. Keep up the great content gents!

Need a video on the Maxfli lineup of balls. Next best value at ~$120 for 4 dozen. Doesn't hurt to have Lexi playing them either.

I'd love to see -Pro V1X (left dash) vs Cut DC. A battle of the high compression balls.

[K-Gig]

Glad to see these tested. Performance seems fine for someone learning the game or just looking to have fun on the course. Thanks!

My 3 favorite golf balls ranked in order: 1. Maxfli tour X; 2. Wilson Triad; 3. Kirkland Signature. Pro V1 and Pro V1x are great golf balls - I just won't pay that kind of money for the tiny difference in performance (and actually, I don't perceive any difference in performance between the Maxfli Tour X and the Pro V1x.)

[billcahoon]

For 25% of the price (2 dz for $27 vs. 1 dz for $54) this is well worth it for 90% of the golfers out there. Great test as this was much closer than I was expecting going in.

I've got a mix of balls right now - Vice Pro Plus, Chrome Soft, Srixon Z-Star, Kirkland Signature v3.

I keep going back to the Kirkland. I find the ball to be very predictable whether it be with driver (fitted by Paul K at the Toronto location), irons and hybrids (fitted by Dean S, also in Toronto) and around the green. Vice Pro Plus would be my second choice.

The fact that four dozen cost the same as a box of ProV1's doesn't hurt, either.

[BidenIsKing]

I heard the new Kirkland’s were bad for distance! Looking forward to watching the test!

For 2 years I played Kirkland. They are great balls but the only thing that lets them down is a wedge or bunker shot tears the face off them. They have a very soft cover on them. I am 100% behind them but a Kirkland can’t last more than a round without being scuffed, a TP5 for me can. So although Kirkland are cheaper, after a round the ball is usually relegated to the bag of practice balls.

[paulhawkins]

I made the switch to Kirkland a few years ago and love it. Durability is about the same as Pro V and I was getting similar performance. I do find the Pro V spins a bit more for me around the greens. The main reason for my switch is I’m really working on my game and adding new shots and knowing a lost ball is a $1 not $4. Speeds up play a lot because I don’t look for balls anymore. I’m also playing a lot more golf as I’m improving and loosing 2 or 3 balls doesn’t sting like it would before.

Without a launch monitor the question is would you have noticed anything different minus sound/feel. You should do 9 holes with each ball and see how or if it affects score.

[armandoserranojr.]

I have seen the same results on my GC Quad with Kirkland golf balls, Titleist Pro V1/X, Vice Pro Plus, Chrome soft, and Bridgestone Tour balls….I regularly go back to Kirkland balls for cost. I play 2-3 days a week and handicap goes from a +2 to a 2. Kirkland balls are legit.

[derekshorrock]

Play Kirkland v2 when I heard V3 was coming out I stocked up on v2's consistent ball for me

[anthonycsimmons]

Have tried both of the previous versions and after watching this video will definitely be going out and picking some up. Thanks guys.
