For $499, why wouldn’t you play Costco’s newest hit, Kirkland Signature player’s irons?
They feature a stainless steel body, an injected urethane insert and an internal tungsten weight. All of these features are comparable to the top brand names—at about a third of the price!
First Impressions
First, and this one is circling the internet, Costco’s iron bears a striking resemblance to TaylorMade’s P790. This is a fair comparison—except it is a shiny chrome version. A “chromed-out” iron is hit or miss for most golfers. I am not a fan and I’d argue most of our testers aren’t either.
Second, feel and sound go hand in hand. For $499, the Kirkland Signature player’s irons feel damned good and their sound is appealing. To me, it is on the more muted side with a distinct thud, exactly what I like. Feel and sound are perceived and subjective. What I perceive might be different from what you perceive. But from my perspective, these Kirkland Signature irons are impressive.
$499 Worth of Data
Premature accolades aren’t our style. I want to see how the Kirkland Signature player’s irons perform in our testing before passing final judgment. In the meantime, let’s see how the Kirkland Signature iron stacks up against my current pitching wedge, 7-iron and 5-iron.
