What each maker claims
Attributed statements. Each maker is describing its own product, not the other one.
Kirkland Signature V3.0
No claims recorded.
Titleist Pro V1
Spin. Titleist describes the Pro V1 as very low spin in the long game and high spin in the short game.
How they differ
Both have a urethane cover. The main differences are how each is sold and how much each maker tells you about it. Kirkland Signature is Costco’s own label, and Costco sells the V3.0 itself in packs of two dozen. Titleist sells the Pro V1 by the dozen and publishes ratings for its flight, spin and feel.
- Cover. Costco lists a urethane cover for the V3.0. Titleist lists a cast urethane elastomer for the Pro V1.
- Construction. Costco lists the V3.0 as a 3-piece ball. Titleist names a core, a casing layer and a cover for the Pro V1 but does not state a piece count.
- Compression. Neither maker publishes a compression number.
- Flight, spin and feel. Titleist describes the Pro V1’s flight as “Mid”, its long-game spin as “Very low”, its short-game spin as “High” and its feel as “Softer”. Costco publishes no matching ratings for the V3.0. It describes the ball as “a high performance ball that delivers high velocity, controlled Iron spin and consistent flight.”
Pack size. Costco sells the V3.0 in a 24-ball pack and shows its selling price rather than a separate list price. Titleist lists the Pro V1’s price per dozen. Halve the Costco box price before comparing the two.
Who each one suits
- The V3.0, if you want a 3-piece urethane ball, already shop at Costco and are happy to buy two dozen at a time. Costco says it “delivers high velocity, controlled Iron spin and consistent flight.”
- The Pro V1, if you want a ball whose maker spells out where it sits on flight, spin and feel, and you want to buy it by the dozen from more than one store. Titleist recommends it for players who “may benefit from mid-trajectory flight, very low long game spin and high short game spin, and softer feel.”
