Kirkland Signature Tour Golf Ball - Golf Digest Take

Last Fall brought a buzz reminiscent of the early days of the Titleist Pro V1.  Except this ball was sold by a shopping club at a fraction of the price of tour-caliber balls- and was touted as performing just as well.
"In our $25-and-Under category, Costco's Kirkland Signature Tour Performance ball outperformed the others in several aspects of our evaluation process.  That makes sense.  A four-piece ball with a urethane cover should best out mostly two-piece balls with ionomer covers.  The only reason they didn't show it in the category was Costco's ability to continue to stock and sell the ball which is unclear. (Never been available in my area-Northern California)  They were also skeptical about the production capabilities and consistencies of an outsourced ball".
