    Probably a Callaway. The dimple pattern looks like a hexagon, and they've sold Callaways for years now.

    The person who gave it to me today at Kanata lakes was a buyer for Costco. He said they were handing them out at Greyhawk to at the Costco company tournament this week. He stated that it was manufactured by Titleist.

    At that price, perhaps more like NXT or Velocity than ProV1.

    Interesting. At that price I would definitely give them a try.

    Found one today while playing the Marshes..Very nice ball..feels more like a Titleist NXT S. not as soft as a Pro V... Great ball..can't wait to see them at the local Costco, especially at that price.

    Here is a different view on the source of the new ball

    http://www.golfwrx.com/forums/topic/...co-golf-balls/

    I have the NXT ball and the pro v in my bag and the dimples on the Kirkland ball match the pro v1x pattern more then the NXT

    It's in the Sept 2016 Conforming balls list:

    Kirkland Signature with Signature in red
    £ Tour Performance ¢
    colour: white
    construction: 4P-SC-3c
    spin rating: M-H
    dimples: 360
    country: KOR
    manufacturer: Nassau Golf Co., Ltd.

    didn't see Nassau as a manufacturer of any other known brand ball (titleist: acushnet, callaway: callaway, etc)

    Nassau is great brand who used to make soccer balls, never knew until few days ago that they make golf balls. Seems like good ball

    did you even read the article?

    "Frankly, I’m not sure why USGA allows this as it appears to be an effort to obfuscate the true source of the golf ball. SM Global isn’t a manufacturer; it’s packaging company located in southern California. They manufacture as many golf balls in their facility as I do in my basement. Zero."

    "I’d wager that the balls were produced in the same Nassau plant using different cores."
    I got a fever. And the only prescription is more golf equipment.

    That's an assumption.
    The core is different, which could change thew whole dynamic of the ball.
    We'll have to wait and see what the reviews state once people have played the new ball.
    I read one review that said the ball doesn't go as long and has a different feel.

    Are the callaway balls still available? Thanks.

    Available now on Costco's US site, with free shipping in the US up to October 24th (Monday):

    http://www.costco.com/Kirkland-Signa...100310467.html

    Not available in Canada yet, but if anyone is set up for an "Ogdensburg" order then I would like to add a couple of boxes to the order.

    The golf balls, which do appear on the USGA conforming golf ball list, are made by Nassau Golf Co. Ltd. of South Korea. The four-piece ball is intended, we think, to compare with Titleist Pro V1s. It has 360 dimples and is a medium-to-high spin ball around the greens, according to the USGA's conforming ball list.

    Now we just have to figure out who Nassau is??

    there is a whole thread here

    http://www.torontogolfnuts.com/showt...light=kirkland

    as well as on golfwrx

    http://www.golfwrx.com/forums/topic/...co-golf-balls/

    specs are listed in the thread above from testing and it has similar characteristics to a ProV1 - how that translates to the course I am not sure. Happy reading!

    If the ProV1 price is not duplicated then I'm OK with that.

    For most the prov1 is overkill. At 15-20$ a dozen, I'll take these any day over $50 a dozen.

    I have been reading all about this new ball on golfwrx.com. I even called a Costco in Bellingham, Washington about them and they did not have them. Not all Costco's in the US have them. I hope they do come to Costco in Canada.
    I would have to order online from Costco.com or drive to a Costco that is South East of Seattle, Washington.
    Obviously you're not a golfer.

    Interesting. Thanks for posting the chart. Performance overall is very competitive with the others.

    It appears to me the ball rolls out a little more than the others on average (2 yards difference between total carry and distance)...

    They definitely look to be worth a try when they become available.
