New Costco golf balll

[john8888]

In the US now at 29.99 for 2 dozen

Off brand pro v1?

Coming to Canada soon

[justsomeguy]

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.

[justsomeguy]

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

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

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."

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.

[john8888]

Thank you. You are a great detective

Same here! I would take two boxes as well...

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

as well as on golfwrx

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!

Nice marketing strategy by Kirkland..

As the saying goes: "Often imitated; never duplicated."

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

[jeffc]

As the saying goes: "Often imitated; never duplicated."

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

[BARGEGOLF]

For those interested...maybe coming to Canada in the spring?

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.

[leftylucas]

Bought 2 dozen, got them yesterday, online and a friend picked them up. I will try them on the weekend.

here are some spin #'s

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.

Hey Luc where did you order them from. I went on line and they showed out of stock till Nov 21st
