In the quarter of his predominance, Tixist Pro v1 It has become the golf ball against which everyone else is measured. This is not a particularly educated observation, but it is an important. Ballsh Ball number one in golf on tour and with customers from, oh, I don’t know, at least one mile – maybe more.
Challengerdo challenging, whether a new offer from a main competitor or from a barrage off the left field from a direct brand to the consumer you have never heard of, tries to call Pro V1 for a high noon road duel. Them CHALLENGING Find that there are only two types of golf balls in duel, fast and dead. And no one exceeds the pro v1.
For a short bright moment in 2016, Kirkland’s original signature had its purpose. Our testing itself showed that the first K-SIG had what it took to challenge Pro V1, especially at $ 30 by double. Unfortunately for consumers, the original K-SIG was unicorn.
Due to more production restrictions than lawsuits, the original K-Sig was a brief brief moment in the story that Costco just couldn’t repeat. Its subsequent performance plus golf balls were, simply set, mediocre at best. They lived a good life, living outside the 2016 ball reputation, but the test showed that they were short, prominent and not extremely stable.
Kirkland version 3.0: a new hope?
Costco launched version 3.0 last year. MygolfSpy ball laboratory highly valued below average. Its compression was all over the country, as it was its size. The result of the ball laboratory of 45 may have been generous.
Now Kirkland has launched what can be called only Version 3.5 of Kirkland’s signature. You will know from the fact that she has hungry arrows on her side seal, compared to the smallest arrows, line with the original 3.0. As a survey for the large MygolfSpy 2025 ball test, we decided to perform a preliminary head -to -head test against 2025 Pro V1.
What we found was a combination of curious fall and quasi-jaw. In short, the new Costco+ Ball performance corrects many of its earlier version defects. In robots testing, she proved to be slightly longer and narrower than Pro V1 and performed sufficiently in a 40 yard wedge shots.
That being said, Kirkland Performance+ Golf Ball seems to be Best Best Ball that Kirkland has released since the original 2016. The driver’s rotation is under control and its 97 compression makes it long enough. It also has the necessary prohibition power in green to make it extremely movable.
7-HEKURI? Well, as the meat said, two out of three are not bad.
Let’s dig into data.
In relation to the test
To execute the test, We have partned with CoolclubsOne of the most respected names in the club’s adaptation and robot testing. Most of the test was performed outside on the Sunridge Canyon Golf Club in Arizona.
The data was collected with washcloth (drivers and cuffs) and Gcquad (wedge).
While the largest test will be done at three speeds, for this lesser test the driver’s speed was set at 100 mph. The cuffs were tested at 81 km per hour while the wedge test was created to repeat a wide stroke of about 40 yards.
Hot from the meters
Before returning the test into the robot, we received some quick measurements in our ball lab meters. Note that the sample size is slightly smaller than what we would usually run for the ball lab. We just wanted to get a general idea of compression, weight and diameter.
Compress
- In our meters, Kirkland+ performance measured 97. This is approximately at the same time as Pro v1x and a four to five dance of Kirkland’s previous models.
- Tixist Pro v1 Measured 91, slightly stronger than the previous version, but softer than Kirkland’s latest offer.
Weight
There was nothing especially visible in the weight measurements of any of the balls. Kirkland+ performance was a few, but also within the limits of the USGA rules.
Diameter
- Kirkland performance+ was, on average, the largest of the two cannons. While the largest is generally a disadvantage in the tournament category, it is worth noting that the new model is smaller than Kirkland’s previous offers, which suggests an improvement.
- Titist Pro V1 was smaller and in accordance with the size of previous models. It is near the minimum USGA border without any real risk of crossing the line.
Consistency
Again, noting that our sample size was slightly smaller, Tixist Pro v1 It was more stable throughout the table, showing less than a three point change of compression throughout the sample. Kirkland showed a change of six points.
There was nothing particularly extraordinary about the weight and measurements of the diameter, where the title was again more stable.
With that off the road, let’s see what happened when we hit the golf balls.
Driver data
| ball | Speed | The angle of the beginning | The rate of rotation | Maximum height | Deduction angle | Yard | Yard |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kirkland+ performance | 145.04 | 13.28 | 2,857 | 85.14 | 34.60 | 239.82 | 267.75 |
| Tixist Pro v1 | 144.74 | 13.31 | 2.765 | 83.52 | 34.44 | 238.44 | 266.61 |
jquery (document) .ready (function () {var mgstablepressrowClocked = false; jQuery (document) .on (‘click’, ‘#table-492 tr td’, function (e) {if (e.target.nodename == “) //console.log.
Observations:
- The ball speeds were relatively close, with Kirkland producing the highest ball speed (not surprising given that it is also stronger).
- Pro V1 started higher as it produced less rotation.
- Kirkland rotated about 100 rpm more, although data suggests that the new version rotates significantly less than the driver than the previous model.
- Kirkland also brought pro v1 to total transmission and distance.
Driver’s distribution and durability
Observations:
While the wind may have played a factor, Kirkland+ performance produced the strongest strict distribution. According to the numbers, Kirkland was slightly longer and produced a slightly stronger grouping, though not by a statistically significant amount.
7-Hokuri data
| ball | Speed | The angle of the beginning | The rate of rotation | Maximum height | Deduction angle | Yard | Yard |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kirkland+ performance | 117.57 | 19.24 | 4,951 | 101.10 | 48.38 | 167.41 | 176.93 |
| Tixist Pro v1 | 118.24 | 18.43 | 4,765 | 98.70 | 46.67 | 173.47 | 184.32 |
jquery (document) .ready (function () {var mgstablepressrowClocked = false; jquery (document) .on (‘click’, ‘#table-477 tr td’, function (e) {if (e.target.nodename == “) //console.log.
Observations:
In the shots of 7-Hakuri, Pro v1 was fasterIt started and flew the lowest as it produced the highest carrier and total distance.
Kirkland lag behind at the ball speed but started and flew the highest As you generate more rotation. With this, it is not surprising that it lasted a little behind in both the transfer yards and the total.
If nothing else, the 7-Hekuri suggests balls with significantly different performance features.
Distribution and consistency 7-Herkuri
Observations:
- In the 7-and-when distribution, the pro v1 title lies to be narrower of an important difference.
- The distribution area for the Kirkland ball is significantly larger, while the central point of the models (identified by Dot) reveals a significant change in the yards.
Wedge
| ball | Speed | The angle of the beginning | The rate of rotation | Maximum height | Deduction angle | Yard | Yard |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kirkland+ performance | 43.60 | 35.93 | 5,566 | 22.43 | 41.85 | 36.78 | 41.83 |
| Tixist Pro v1 | 43.32 | 35.78 | 5,675 | 21.98 | 41.63 | 36.33 | 41.20 |
jQuery (document) .ready (function () {var mgstablepressrowClocked = false; jquery (document) .on (‘click’, ‘#table TD’); jQuery (mgstablepressrowlink) .attr (“href”);
Observations:
- The three cannons produced very similar trajectories and distances, with the title holding about a 100 rpm advantage in rotation.
Aside, this speaks to the concept of a rotating slope (in this case, the low driver rotation paired with high Greenside rotation) we discussed in Our story about the building of golf ball.
- The differences in the transmission and total were minimal, less than one yard across the table.
Distribution and durability of the wedge
Observations:
The graph rate blows the differences between the balls. Said.
- Even with permissions for small numbers, Tixist Pro v1 produced the narrowest distribution in wedge shots.
- Kirkland was a longer touch, but not by a significant amount, in my opinion.
Semifinals
We will have much more to say when our biggest ball test rotates, but, for now, our taking is the pro v1 title was the best ball in this test. It delivered the most sustainable measurements of compression, weight and diameter while producing those large distribution models with both cuff and wedge. If the fall of $ 55 for dozen is not a problem, Pro v1 is the clear choice.
How about Kirkland?
If price is a factor, it is difficult to argue against the proposal of the value offered by Kirkland+ performance. Although not from a big difference, it offered better driver distance and a stronger distribution. I am inclined to say that the out -of -driver’s result matches Pro V1, though there are differences in the way every ball reaches there.
If you take advantage of the slightly higher driver’s rotation, this Kirkland offers that, without overloading it in previous 3 -piece ball generations.
Greenside Spin that almost matches the Pro V1, but this also suggests that in the driver’s rotation drop, Costco lost a little short game rotation in the process.
Wide strokes (and regardless of fit), if the money is not the object, the title remains the best ball. That being said, data suggests that Costco has made significant performance improvements with this latest model.
For players who look at their budget, it is difficult to argue that someone offers better value than Costco and Kirkland.
