 Which version of the Kirkland Golf Ball is the right one? It’s one of the most common questions we’re getting right now, and it makes a lot of sense. ‘Cause not only has Costco curriculum confused the hell out of you, they’ve confused the hell out of us. There has been so many versions it’s hard to keep up with.

So today we’re gonna give you the comprehensive breakdown of every single version. It’s gonna include package changes, alignment, markings, and performance differences.

We’re gonna start with version one or what we call the unicorn. That was the four-piece ball that we tested directly, head to head against the Pro V1, and it pretty much kicked its ass.

That one has a black and green box, and that’s the one that was discontinued after the Titleless lawsuit. Next up, version 1.5. This fall was released in 2019 and it only lasted about 1.5 minutes. Why? Because it was defective after a single shot. We saw the entire cover tear off and they pulled it from the shelves. So you’re probably not gonna find those, but if you do find a gold box, don’t play it.

Next up is version 3.0. This one was released in 2021, and for those of you, you remember, this had the black box with the silver striped on the side. It lasted a couple years, but this is the one that you might remember spun way too much for way too many golfers.

Have you ever watched someone who seems to have it all figured out at the driving range? Last week, I saw this incredibly talented amateur golfer, not a student of mine, just a young man I see often at the course.

His setup looked like something you’d see from a seasoned pro, his swing was straight out of a textbook, and his finish was perfectly balanced. Despite all that, he kept sending the ball weakly to the right or skimming it along the ground.

He turned to me, clearly frustrated, and said, “I just don’t get it, Mr. Elliott. Everything feels right, but nothing’s working.”

So I had him take one more swing, but this time I asked him to dial it back to about 70-percent effort. You won’t believe what happened: the ball soared straight, high, and went 20 yards farther than any of his other previous shots.

It wasn’t a technique issue at all; it was all about his tempo.

A yet-to-be-released training aid called Laced Golf popped up in my Facebook feed the other day and it got me thinking.

Golf really has gone digital. You’ve probably noticed.

Launch monitors dissect every aspect of your swing. Shot-tracking systems like Shot Scope and Arccos catalog your every move on the course. Training aids like The Stack System promise to add 20 yards to your drive, Hack Motion analyzes your wrist position, and Sportsbox AI breaks down your swing using nothing more than your phone’s camera.

We measure ball speed, attack angle, face-to-path, spin rates and a dozen other metrics that didn’t exist in most golfers’ vocabularies a decade ago. We’ve got sensors, algorithms and apps for damn near everything.

But, somehow, in all this technological advancement, we’ve largely ignored one of golf’s most fundamental elements: alignment.

Kapalua Resort, the Hawaii course where the PGA Tour has started every year since 1999, is shutting down as it tries to save its courses amid a water dispute.
