Costco Kirkland Signature Putters?
The face "milling" is laughable.

with the claims of it being a 'disruptor' of course it's going to generate that kind of discussion.
You have the crew obsessed with the idea of it disrupting the market.
You have the crew who think it's comparable to others.
You have the crew who think it's hot trash in a box.
You have the crew who want to see the world burn lmao

There are 4 or 5 sold on eBay for $220+ not including shipping. Just unboxed mine. Good looking putter.

Exactly.
I can only conclude that Costco isn’t everywhere and / or some people will pay $75 extra to avoid going into Costco.
When I saw the price I just assumed it would be a non-starter for most golfers. But apparently they are a hot item. There are plenty of good solid name brand putters around that same price range.
If it was < $99.00 I might have given it a look.

The face milling makes me wonder if it was supposed to look like that or the CNC machine was programmed and never checked once the start button was hit. It just doesn't look right.
Looks more like a stamping then a milling job. If it was milled it was done on a 2 axis Bridgeport in a third world country.
Maybe their R&D determined that it was an optimal pattern.
TLDR Tried it, didn’t like it, returning it to Costco
detail: grip is slightly misaligned, grip length not for me, lie angle not for me. The graphics and feel didn’t bother me. Sticking with my ping

Has anyone actually gamed the club? Any reviews?

You're paying for the return policy
it's like it has a parabolic pattern to it. definitely not common
original pictures made it look like it had some sort of Odyssey style face going on
I didn't game it, but rolled a few putts with it. See post #676. He would have gladly let me game it that day, but I didn't like it enough to try.

Just completed my second round with this putter and so far I like it. 34 putts and 31 putts. Missed two 4 footers but have made several from 8-15 feet. Has a solid feel off the face and the counter weight grip really seems to balance the weight well.
glad it works.
I'm still learning all about good golf equipment & even for me I don't think I could ever buy a Costco putter for that much. I understand that there a lot of golfers that want the higher end clubs & can't afford them, but come on man, you can get a good used putter for what this one cost's with the weight kit. But then again I have a buddy that would probably go buy one & brag about it if we had a costco around here .

There are a lot of people out there that won't buy used. So many comments comparing this thing with the used market, and for a lot of us that is legit, but I know people that just shun the used market, if it aint new they'll buy something that is, including something from Costco.

I don't understand this thought process. I buy used clubs so that I can have nicer equipment. There is so much good stuff available where someone bought it hit it a handful of times and didn't like it.

I happen to like my Scotty Studio Select NP2 that I bought used for what some of the flippers are selling their Kirklands for. Just a personal preference, I guess.

used is such a loose term, too.... Most who buy from CallawayPreOwned in 'like new' couldn't define the difference between off the shelf, and used.
