Nope. Pretty similar in performance as the original K-Sig. I would put them up against the Pro-V for performance. I think they perform better than any of the Taylormade or Callaway balls available. The difference between the original and the current is negligible.

I should point out that they've released a 3pc model in addition to the original 4pc.

As far as I can tell, nobody has got the 3pc yet. Some people should get them today.

Lanny_McDonald · 04-04-2018, 07:33 AM

Edit - you’re right, the last batch was a four piece too. I’ll let you know how the three piece compare after Saturday’s round.

Hockeyguy15 · 04-04-2018, 08:19 AM

Ok, so the new 4pc is good 3pc is bad. Maybe that's the article I read then?

Anyone getting them shipped to Canada?

Edit: they won’t ship to Canada, so I order 4 dozen to US shipping address. Can’t wait to try them out.

I just got the new Taylormade P790 irons, what a difference, lots of money but man I just gained 20 yards per iron from my 10 year old Clevleands.

Yep, the 3 piece is a softer ball and not as good. The 4 piece hasn’t changed and compares and/or is better than the Pro V

Anybody tried out the new Taylormade twist face driver? Thoughts/impressions?

While they are probably better irons, TM is known for putting stronger loft angles on their irons. See if you can compare the loft angles with your old set to know for sure.

Find out tomorrow I guess.

It's similar tech to the Cobra AMP drivers.

If your miss is high toe or low heel, it should help you.

I hit the new Ping driver at GT and the numbers were pretty impressive. Id like to hit it outdoors to see if it's better than my 917. If I had the money that's what I'd get.

I was hitting th G400 down in Phoenix and it was by far the straightest driver I've hit off the Tee. It give up some distance for me though compared to the Taylormade M4 and Callaway Rouge.

Yeah I heard that so the place where I was fitted checked and they are the same lofts.

Just got the new King Cobra F8 driver. It's excellent - feels and sounds so good at impact.

They must be good!

$159.25 CDN a dozen

By the way, anyone wondering who makes these Kirkland balls.

They're made in Seoul, South Korea by a company called Nassau Golf.

http://www.nassaugolf.eu/

This company also makes most (if not all) of TaylorMade Golf Balls

I'm on VIP Golf which gets access there. We will have to get a game this summer. I've never played it.

The Winston is a gem just outside the inner city. Tough at times, but a lot of fun. I've only ever finished one round (golf tournament) there. Every other time I've been rained/thunderstormed out.
