Are Costco Kirkland golf balls any good?
The short answer is: yes, Kirkland golf balls are good. Really good. Like, “I can’t believe I’m saying this, but these might actually be better than my Pro V1s” good. The Kirklands sure do spin, maybe a bit too much. I personally find they tend to balloon slightly for mid and long iron shots and lose a few yards compared to a Pro V1. Descent angle (the angle the golf ball drops to the ground) also helps a golf ball stop quickly on the green.
Why are Pro V1 balls so expensive?
However, once consistently shooting in the 70s, a premium ball like the Pro V1 can provide increased short-game spin. The high price of Titleist balls can be attributed to the brand, durability, and consistency, making them popular among professional golfers. A Pro V1 golf ball can be an excellent choice for a senior who needs low spin and long distance from the tee and spin technology that helps a ball stop on the greens. The only issue with the Pro V1 for seniors is that it can take a slightly higher swing speed to compress.If you naturally hit the ball high and want a more controlled trajectory, the Pro V1 might be the better choice. On the other hand, if you need more height on your shots, the Pro V1x is the way to go. Compression affects how a ball feels off the clubface, and there’s a noticeable difference between these two models.
