They're ridiculously inexpensive and My Golf Spy's recent testing was off the charts.

Just a moment...

With Villagers' passion for saving money & a new Costco coming to town, I thought I'd spread the word.

BTW, these balls are "hard". Higher compression than a Pro V1. They will feel hard when you hit them. That said, in almost every case, a "harder" ball will go further. Don't buy into the "seniors need soft golf balls" BS.
I've played the Kirkland balls for three generations of the ball including the latest, I'm on my first dozen of the new ball and find it similar to the last generation, I found the ball prior to that had very high spin with my irons and was terrible in the wind. I'll play a Pro v or TP from time to time and I do like them better but I just can't justify the cost, I don't think they help my score that much if at all. I play blue tees and probably swing my driver around 92-95 mph and according to my Garmin watch I only hit about 50% of the fairways and a better ball doesn't seem to help with this. I'll stick with the Kirklands.
