Transcript

Which version of the Kirkland good ball is the right one? It's one of the most common questions we're getting right no, and it makes a lot of sense. Because not only has Costco Kirkland confused the hell out of you, they've confused the hell out of us. There has been so many versions, it's hard to keep up with. So today, we're gonna give you the comprehensive breakdown of every single version. It's gonna include package changes, alignment markings, and performance differences. We're gonna start with version one or what we call the unicorn. That was the four piece ball that we tested directly head to head against the titles pro v one, and it pretty much kicked its ass. That one has a black and green box, and that's the one that was discontinued after the Titleist lawsuit. Alright. Next up, version 1.5. This ball was released in 2019, and it only lasted about one point five minutes. Why? Because it was defective. After single shots, we saw the entire cover tear off, and they pulled it from the shelves. So you're probably not gonna find those. But if you do find a gold box, don't play it. Next up is version three point o. This one was released in 2021. And for those of you who remember, this had the black box with the silver stripe on the side. It lasted a couple years, but this is the one that you might remember spun way too much for way too many golfers. It also had two Chevron markings on either side of the alignment aid. Alright. Last but not least, the most current version, and this is where some of the confusion comes in. It also says version three point o on the box, but here's what you need to look for. A black box with a red stripe down the side, not a silver one. The performance of the new ball that we just tested is up to par with a lot of the major brands, and it's probably gonna be one of the most available in the store you're gonna find. So once again, look for the black box, best stripe. Don't mess with any of the rest. Alright. I hope everyone found this helpful. Here's a reference you can use to make sure you're getting the right Kirkland.
