MyGolfSpy drone on about these (v2) balls being "Too spinny" off the tee and terrible in high wind. Be good if you could see the spin numbers in the studio 👍👍 Edit: just seen you took them in at the end, interesting! great video James
My problem with the older versions was they would scuff and tear after just a few holes…until they fix the weak cover they are not even worth the cheaper price since it takes 3 or 4 balls just to complete a round.
James, I am a mid-handicapper and play the Kirkland as my gamer (TM Tour Response when I want to splurge). Testing the V2 and V3 on the course and with my Bushnell Launch Pro in the sim, I notice a slight drop in spin rates. The V3 also feels just slightly more firm, but still has a great feel. I am getting more run out with my driver and plenty of stopping power on the greens. It seems to be a perfect compliment for my game and a small, but welcomed, improvement over the V2. I have played about 15 rounds with the V3 to date. Thanks for the reviews and content!
Costco balls consistently fly 10 yards short of Pro V1 for my irons. I play traditional lofted 718 AP2 Titleist forged irons, and naturally I fade the ball about 5 yards.
I also notice putts coming up very noticeably short when using Kirkland when compared to Pro V1.
Overall, this golf ball is a great entry level option for feel, but does not compete in my opinion with PRO V1, that's just my .02c as a single digit handicap.

I'll try the new ones after I finish losing the old ones 🙂
V2 currently sold out online at Costco online uk. Just picked up 3 boxes from Costco in Liverpool. Not many on display so maybe phasing them out.
New ball is more expensive than old ball in Taiwan.
I think version 3 / volume 3 is a little better!
That's my gamer! Cover is way better than Prov1 and it's not even close.
I wouldn't use Kirkland balls, even if someone handed me a dozen for free, Kirkland balls are known to have the core, off center
Diameter is also bigger than prov or the other big name brands
So ones yellow inside and ones red. That's about your lot
I saw a review where these are not as good or close to the same as the V2
For me, v3 seems to wear a little better. I'd be comfortable for 3 rounds.
Fatherhood has changed you James, where was the Perroni on the CostCo shopping list
Same ball. Different packaging 🙄
Other reviews say the new ball is firmer, and more spiny, always played the old ball loved them

They are still 15 to 20 yards shorter with driver off the tee and scuff immediately

Played the v2 for a couple of months this year but the cover would scuff very easy after 3/4 holes.
Congrats on 250k
