I have this putter and have never putted better. You need to buy the weight kit in order to make this truly personalized to your liking. I have owned Cameron Newports and the Kirkland has more adjustability with similar feel at a better price!
Thanks for watching Mark and sharing. I've been looking out for the weight kit but it hasn't benign stock since I bought the putter. I've still got it in the bag, although I'm going for a putter fitting soon to better understand which type of putter suits my stroke.
Great video as always. I waited on this one because of the original price. However, since it’s now $99 in the US, I picked it up and purchased the weight kit for less than the original price. I love the customization provided with the kit.
What time of year did Costco have in stock I want one since I have a beginner set of clubs but not sure if they are in the warehouses this time of year
Im a die hard costco kirklands brand. I buy kirland food and hygene products which is always an acceptional deal. I buy dried mango frequently, its an excellent product and value. Comparibable brands easily cost 4 or 5 times the price
I bought mine yesterday. My Costco had one on display that I could check out and it was only $99. IMO you can’t beat that quality for price deal and tbh if people are embarrassed about the Kirkland head over just buy a different one that’ll look cooler. Most my head covers don’t actually match my clubs because I like the way other ones look lol
I did the same! Put a Cobra 3D🖨 cover on it and also have lead tape on the back of the face to make it sound like I'm used to! I got the weights too and put the heaviest on the heel and lightest on the toe and it's pretty much face balanced!
I got one. Putters don't put the balls in the wholes, players do. I do hate the Kirkland branding in general though, but I don't care enough to buy a scotty cameron.
Yeah I’ve still got it in my bag…but I do want to find a weight kit to play about with the feeling. I’ve got the wedges too, was planning on filming a review but I haven’t got round to it yet
@@GolfGuyReviews the putter is good but the weight kit makes it great. I even put my Scotty (a few years old) on the back burner with no sign of it going back in the bag lol
I was just logged into Costco and the US price is $99.99, not bad for a milled putter, actually outstanding. I remember seeing a fellow golf league partner drop this putter in his bag and the feedback was positive. I could be wrong but Costco if it desires to be a player in the golf market, it can do so successfully. I remember seeing a Rick Shiels review on their Kirkland wedges and that was positive as well. Plus a plan to release a set of forged irons later this year. All I know is when Costco drops the Kirkland brand on anything here in the states it's going to be quality. That's how they roll. Quality at a value price. It's a winner.
I love mine, I bought the weight kit, added a little lead tape, and then changed the grip, extended it and had it bent upright and it works great for me.
I like the branding, considering they were so hard to get hold of for so long its almost a rarity on the course which brings a bit of intrigue from other players. However, as suggested the Velcro cover isn't great and I lost mine! Meaning that branding I was so keen on isn't noticeable. Great Video, loving your reviews!
Hi Kevin firstly welcome back after a long absence albeit largely due to your recent house move. I currently have a similarly priced putter which is the Ping Sigma 2. This putter is a forgiving putter and has the advantage of it been adjustable between 32-34 inches via the supplied key that fits on the butt end of the putter.
slob appeal is not a reason to NOT get a putter. Mine was an inch too long. The shaft is the same size .370 for a long distance, so I took the head off and removed an inch and re-glued. I love it!
Totally disagree. Went from a mallet to the Kirkland. Great feel and performance even with off center hits. You can add weight if you need it. Was even able to compare to the Cameron and the feel was the same. Cost me 98 US or about 81 pounds.
Thanks for watching. At £81 my view would be different and it’s better value for money. But at £170ish which is what I think I paid at the time, I’m not convinced it is great value for money. And as for forgiveness, I thought objectively, a mallet is more forgiving for off centre hits compared to a blade. I’ve since been for a putter fitting and for me, a mallet (not necessarily the most expensive) worked best for me rather than a blade
@@GolfGuyReviews I can see why you'd think the mallet would be better for off center hits. Like i mentioned in my comment, I have a relatively decent mallet and it must have a small sweet spot as the off center hits feel terrible. Maybe there's something to the weighting system in the Kirkland that at least makes me feel that I'm hitting it better. Cheers!
Why not? $140 for the putter and the weight kit and you can return it. I'm not a brand snob, almost all my clubs are different brands, use what you like and feels good.
@@GolfGuyReviews I copped a Lefty for myself(reason I'm here for the video), I really liked the long plumbers neck and it did remind me of my Scotty or Anser 2! Not to mention my Putter Addiction! Must Cop if under $99
I know this is an older review but as of today the KS1 goes for $109 plus the weight kit at $37 for $146 total. plus you kind of compared a mallet to a blade. So if you don't putt with a blade then it's hard to compare them.
Thanks for watching and sharing. I tried my best not to compare it to a mallet, but instead just highlight it won’t have the same forgiveness on off centre hits. But the recently discounted price point only helps the putter 👍
I have it and love it. It has adjustability for the same price as a Huntington Beach putter. Agree $140 plus $40 for weight was much but at the $99 it’s at now without weight it’s the one everyone should get
Thanks for watching Heero. Glad you’re getting on well with it 👍 after my fitting recently I found I’m better off with the higher MOI of a mallet style. But I agree the quality of this is great, and it’s a much better buy now it’s significantly cheaper
Thanks for watching Never. That’s a fair point, and if I had realised I would have tested their policy to see if they accepted the return after several uses in the course. I still stand by what I say though, it’s not ideal to have to return, especially if your Costco isn’t close by
L💚VED the vid GGR, and as a veteran swing coach for the genetic / athletically snubbed ( such as myself ), I'm going to add to the mystique of this putter, that of which my wife & I own....purely by default. Firstly tho, the initial intrigue or widespread 'buzz' of this putter was that it's performance was comparable to the Scotty Cameron series of blade putters for less than half the price. The only 2 caveats being the one you mentioned ( a fee of considerable heft for the weight kit ) and the fact that the somewhat silly, gaudy name embossed on both the putter & cover might as well be, 'Kellogg's Corn Flakes' or something similar. Dunno, have to admit, it DOES put me off a trife but not enough to take it out of my 'Putter Rotation.' Question: Do we REALLY NEED the weight kit? Answer: No, we don't. But will we?...with our bent, 'gotta have it' mentality, purchase the weight kit even if we putt well with the 'as is' KS-1? Yes....why yes we will. Now for those who are familiar with the GTM chain of stores, our GTM stores get a goodly amount of Costco' run-off products, & because of that ( and the added discounts GTM regularly hands out ) we couldn't help but buy one of our putters (brand spankin' new) for $16 USD, and the other at a later date (an open box putter) for $38 USD. One came without a head cover, which I obtained from a pro shop....used but free of charge. My HONEST O? I believe golfers can putt with just about any putter ever made ... even a no-named, thrift shop, globule of chaff shrapnel ( which I use infrequently to best my playing partners when they proudly brandish their coveted Scotty Camerons ( 🎶angels singing🎵 ). MAN do they get annoyed, which adds to my smug joy. I've dubbed it, my Foster Inbred Putter. Cost? 2 dollars. How do I maintain such consistency no matter WHAT I wield? If some of you would like to know, I'd be glad to pass on to you what I teach my N.A.G.S. ( Non Athletic Golf Students ). And like THEIR putting lesson; ( you only need one ), its ultra brief and and super simple and VERY effective. K...I've taken up enough real estate here. Keep up the good work GGR, and yes I've subscribed and given a thumbs up. Oh btw... imho, I think The KS-1 is just as good as any 'Scotty.' And at less than half the price ... why not?
Firstly, this is the most detailed and well written comment I've ever received, so thank you for that! We don't have GTM chains here in the UK, at least not that I'm aware of. $16 dollars is the deal of the century for this putter!!!
@@GolfGuyReviews Much appreciated GGR and yes, we were at the right place at the right time for that sweet lil deal. Oddly, I stumbled across an old Spalding 'Cash In' putter & absolutely L💚VE IT, but again, with a solid method we can put with just about any putter. All the best & keep the vids coming. 👍👍
The only substantive criticism of the putter itself was the comparison to a mallet putter (which is really apples and oranges when it comes to forgiveness). Apparently the only "problem" in your view is the brand name: 1) do you want the Kirkland brand in your bag, and 2) at this price point you can buy a putter from putter brands with more experience making putters. Given that the putter IS actually made by one of those "experienced" brands, then the second point re: brand is really moot. TLDR: it's a solid putter unless you are a brand snob. For anyone who cares more about performance at a reasonable cost, this seems like a screaming buy. If you are going to feel self-conscious about the branding in front of your golfing buddies, you aren't even going to consider Kirkland in the first place. Just pick a side.
Thanks for watching Chris. It’s not a problem for me, as I still have the Kirkland in the bag. However, I can also confirm someone has mentioned the putter every single time I’ve played golf with it with someone new, either out of curiosity or as a jibe, and I know there are plenty of people who won’t like that, so I stand by that it’s a valid consideration for some. Might not be ideal but that’s the world we live in where brand and appeal matter as much as performance. As a completely average 18 hc golfer, I don’t feel I have the skill, knowledge or measuring equipment to judge any club in terms of performance. While I do reference in the video that I haven’t had any issues with it on the course, I appreciate I could have made my position clearer and will bare that in mind for future. If viewers do want that kind of information, there’s plenty of other larger channel who do have better experience and resources, and no doubt these videos are being recommended alongside mine. Personally, the inability to try the putter before buying is still a problem, and while it is possible to return is even after use, for some that’s not practical, as here in the UK Costco stores aren’t particularly common. At the time of filming, I didn’t realise Costco had such an accommodating returns policy, but given the inconvenience that may be involved, I think the point still stands and is worth considering by anyone thinking of buying the putter. Thanks for the feedback, I run this channel as a hobby in my limited spare time, and strive to try to make the next video better than the last 👍
Their returns policy is very generous so you could try it at home and return if you’re not happy…although that’s not a particularly sustainable thing to do 🤣
Got this recently 2nd hand for $50 USD, from a buddy of mine, and for the price, and it being the desired length I was looking for, I couldn't pass it up! But overall I agree with your review, if you were going for the retail value, and weight kit isn't included, there's loads more options to choose from, especially for more reliable, tried & true older putters, that offer more forgiveness.
@@GolfGuyReviews it was a great opportunity to get it for that price, and I’m looking forward to doing that this weekend! Thank you for the content, I’m a new subscriber to your channel and find it very helpful, as well as informative.
Your premise is moot with Costco's extraordinary return policy, unless they have a different return policy outside the USA. Buying this is not a punt, it's satisfaction guaranteed. In other words, your main issue isn't an issue at all. You can buy this, take it to any golf shop, compare it side-by-side, and if you want some other putter, just return the Kirkland for 100% refund. Which makes your video NOT useful. It's just click-bait spam. Is my assessment harsh? Or is my assessment of your video more valid than your review?
Thanks for taking the time to watch and share your thoughts At the time of recording and publishing this video, I wasn’t aware of Costco’s generous returns policy, and by that time I had thoroughly used the putter and not longer needed it, I assumed it was well out of the returns period. With that said, while the generous returns policy is great, I’m not the biggest fan from a sustainably standpoint. But appreciate that’s not a point I make in the video, as it wasn’t one I knew I needed to make at the time. Also, here in the UK, people may buy the putter on a whim in store, but not live particularly close to have to return after trying it. Finally, the fact you have to buy the putter to then arrange a fitting at a 3rd party to compare it side by side with other putters is another disadvantage compared to trying every other putter at a fitting/golf shop.
Must Cop if under $99, or you lost or misplaced your putter and you need in a hurry for a tournament! I actually Sank the first putt I ever took with it for birdie on the 1st 🕳 . Took the break right out of it & 🔨 'd it down
Just ordered one for 99 bucks. Gonna try it for a while and if I don`t like it I will return for full refund. Can`t wait to output my son who has a Scotty Cameron.
Thanks for watching. I’m pretty sure I say in the video it performed well for me and I had no complaints in that department…but that’s based on the combination of my feel, my putting stroke, and my limited knowledge of what makes a ‘quality’ putter. My issue isn’t the price alone…it’s the fact that I feel it’s difficult to test how the putter performs for you which means you’ll have to buy it to try it. And at that price at the time it felt like a risk. If it’s now $99 and you feel you’re happy to take a gamble at that price (which personally I would) then it sounds like a good bet 👍 As others have pointed out in the comments and I failed to mention, if it’s easy for you to return it, then you may be able to anyway even after trying it, which makes it a more compelling putter….if you’re happy it’s a Kirkland
If they shrunk down all the branding it wouldn't be so bad. Not being a golf brand, its too large, bold and in your face. I would buy a separate club head cover for sure to mask it. Also, don't forget about the amazing costco return policy. You can buy the putter, try it out for as long as you have your membership and return it if you don't like it.
You failed to mention the fact that you can buy this putter and take it back to Costco for a full refund if you don't like it. No questions asked, No need to sell it for less money on the used market.
That’s fair, so long as it’s easy enough to get back to Costco to return (their not as widespread in the uk as the US. But I didn’t realise the returns policy was so generous at the time of filming this video
Inesis have a new range of slick looking putters and it would be great for you to review one of them - it’s all the promises that Kirkland offer at half the price. Which is where the Kirkland should have been
You do realize that Costco is famous for their return policy right?!?! You really over looked this very important bit because when it comes down to it, you can return it no questions asked. Not trying to talk down, just think it is important to give all the information
Thanks for watching Bruce. At the time of filming I’d been a Costco member for a few years, and I had no idea about the generous returns policy 🤣🤦♂️ it’s a fair point that many have raised on this video, had I known it at the time I would have mentioned it as it’s another reason to give them a try, so long as you live close enough to warrant driving back to return it.
Thanks for watching. At the time of filming, I didn’t realise the return policy was so generous, so if it’s easy to get to, returning the putter makes it a much more attractive choice, especially at its new discounted price
I’ve been a member for four years….but never had the need to return anything. I wasn’t aware of the generous returns policy at the time of filming. If you live close enough to return the putter and can be bothered, then I appreciate my point is pretty redundant
Cameron putter over rated buying the name. My Kirk putter same results incomparable value.
I can't lie, I've really enjoyed using the Kirkland :)
I needed to hear this
I have this putter and have never putted better. You need to buy the weight kit in order to make this truly personalized to your liking. I have owned Cameron Newports and the Kirkland has more adjustability with similar feel at a better price!
Thanks for watching Mark and sharing. I've been looking out for the weight kit but it hasn't benign stock since I bought the putter. I've still got it in the bag, although I'm going for a putter fitting soon to better understand which type of putter suits my stroke.
100% agree. I changed to 2 x 20 gm and a 15 inch Winn grip (I use a split grip with hands 5 inches apart). Putting great with it.
Absolutely agree! The weight kit completely transformed the putter for me, absolutely love it!!
Great video as always. I waited on this one because of the original price. However, since it’s now $99 in the US, I picked it up and purchased the weight kit for less than the original price. I love the customization provided with the kit.
Thanks 🙏 now the price has dropped it’s certainly a more attractive proposition 👍 hope you get on well with it 🏌️♂️
@@GolfGuyReviews Thanks.
What time of year did Costco have in stock I want one since I have a beginner set of clubs but not sure if they are in the warehouses this time of year
Im a die hard costco kirklands brand. I buy kirland food and hygene products which is always an acceptional deal. I buy dried mango frequently, its an excellent product and value. Comparibable brands easily cost 4 or 5 times the price
I shop there a couple of times a year. The quality of the putters and the majority of the products I’ve bought in general are great 👍
@@GolfGuyReviews i got a 3 pack of golf gloves for $19.99 they had my size medium/large (I was supprised when i saw costco's had my size)

Currently going for 199.00 and up online. 1/11/24. They have become rare and difficult to find.
Maybe I should sell mine that are just sitting in the shed
When anyone notices my ks1 I tell them it came with a free hotdog and drink lol
🤣🤣🤣 genuinely made me laugh out loud!
Your premise is moot with Costco's extraordinary return policy, unless they have a different return policy outside the USA. Buying this is not a punt, it's satisfaction guaranteed.
In other words, your main issue isn't an issue at all. You can buy this, take it to any golf shop, compare it side-by-side, and if you want some other putter, just return the Kirkland for 100% refund.
Which makes your video NOT useful. It's just click-bait spam. Is my assessment harsh? Or is my assessment of your video more valid than your review?
Thanks for taking the time to watch and share your thoughts
At the time of recording and publishing this video, I wasn’t aware of Costco’s generous returns policy, and by that time I had thoroughly used the putter and not longer needed it, I assumed it was well out of the returns period.
With that said, while the generous returns policy is great, I’m not the biggest fan from a sustainably standpoint. But appreciate that’s not a point I make in the video, as it wasn’t one I knew I needed to make at the time.
Also, here in the UK, people may buy the putter on a whim in store, but not live particularly close to have to return after trying it.
Finally, the fact you have to buy the putter to then arrange a fitting at a 3rd party to compare it side by side with other putters is another disadvantage compared to trying every other putter at a fitting/golf shop.
Purchased my from Costco for 99.99, love weight, quality & finish.
Great stuff!! £99 is a great price for what you’re getting
I was wondering where you were going with this because every point was positive lol 😂 but yeah you hake a decent point about price.
Haha, gotta build up to it Dave 🤣 thanks for watching!
@@GolfGuyReviews 👏👏
It’s now $139.99 in the US
99.99 now at the two Costco’s in my area
For $100 USD it's a really good price. But you shouldn't sacrifice feel for price. I hope they release a mallet putter.
Ow that would be really interesting if they did! Would make a ton of sense!
For the money, can't beat it.
Must Cop if under $99, or you lost or misplaced your putter and you need in a hurry for a tournament! I actually Sank the first putt I ever took with it for birdie on the 1st 🕳 . Took the break right out of it & 🔨 'd it down
That’s what we like to hear, smash it in!!!! Thanks for watching and sharing Mark 👍
Just ordered one for 99 bucks. Gonna try it for a while and if I don`t like it I will return for full refund. Can`t wait to output my son who has a Scotty Cameron.
Haha, too right, don't let him forget he paid 3-4 times as much!!!
The great part about it is that Costco will take a return on it anytime. You can totally give it a try and return it for cash back if you hate it
Thanks for watching. At the time of filming I didn’t realise the Costco return policy was so generous
Bought it second hand still in the plastic with the weight kit for $120 sinks more putts than my cobra grandsport.
Sounds like a good deal! Glad you’re getting on well with it 👍
Costcos return policy is so great, if you don't like it you can return it
I didn’t realise the returns policy was so generous at the time of recording
@@GolfGuyReviews I didn't either until my wife yelled me for not returning some junk from there.
I don’t give a rats about the brand. I’d probably feel better repping a cheaper brand then boasting with a Cameron
In which case, this is one of the best options if you're looking for a brand new putter at a great price 👍
You never gave us any reason other than price! How’d it perform? It’s currently 99 bucks in the us.
Thanks for watching. I’m pretty sure I say in the video it performed well for me and I had no complaints in that department…but that’s based on the combination of my feel, my putting stroke, and my limited knowledge of what makes a ‘quality’ putter.
My issue isn’t the price alone…it’s the fact that I feel it’s difficult to test how the putter performs for you which means you’ll have to buy it to try it. And at that price at the time it felt like a risk. If it’s now $99 and you feel you’re happy to take a gamble at that price (which personally I would) then it sounds like a good bet 👍
As others have pointed out in the comments and I failed to mention, if it’s easy for you to return it, then you may be able to anyway even after trying it, which makes it a more compelling putter….if you’re happy it’s a Kirkland
I would hate it too if I paid 180 for it lol
costco's return policy is the best there is... no risk in trying it
Yes I wasn’t aware of the generous returns policy at the time. So long as you live close enough to return it I guess 👍
If they shrunk down all the branding it wouldn't be so bad. Not being a golf brand, its too large, bold and in your face. I would buy a separate club head cover for sure to mask it. Also, don't forget about the amazing costco return policy. You can buy the putter, try it out for as long as you have your membership and return it if you don't like it.
Thanks for watching Rob. At the time of filing I didn’t realise how generous the returns policy was, so that is a factor for sure
You forgot one key piece of information. At Costco, you have 90 DAYS to return any item for any reason. My order is on its way. ⛳️
That’s true, I didn’t realise that was their returns policy at the time of recording. Thanks for watching 🙏
You failed to mention the fact that you can buy this putter and take it back to Costco for a full refund if you don't like it. No questions asked, No need to sell it for less money on the used market.
That’s fair, so long as it’s easy enough to get back to Costco to return (their not as widespread in the uk as the US. But I didn’t realise the returns policy was so generous at the time of filming this video
People really think putters make a difference it’s a flat club if you miss it’s your own fault
Thanks for watching. That pretty much goes for all clubs….not driver is going to stop a 14° out to in swing path 🤣
Inesis have a new range of slick looking putters and it would be great for you to review one of them - it’s all the promises that Kirkland offer at half the price. Which is where the Kirkland should have been
Will have to check out their range and maybe buy one of them then - if I don’t sell the Kirkland before I could do a straight comparison
@@GolfGuyReviews i think that’s the move 👍🏻 Robinson, Finch, TXG have all covered the Inesis irons but there’s absolutely ZERO on the new putters
@@andytlwy will take a look tonight 👍
It's not a gamble if you buy it from Costco. you don't like it? return it for full refund. Cant do that ANYWHERE else.
That’s fair so long as it’s easy enough to get back to return it, didn’t realise the generous return policy at the time of filming.
Is it worth even spending $50.00 for a used one?
Personally I would say Yes. I have had one since the beginning of last year and love it. However, it might not be for everyone. Play well friend!
If you can get it for $50 then yes absolutely, I’d be comfortable risking that money on trying what I think is a good putter at that price 👍
You do realize that Costco is famous for their return policy right?!?! You really over looked this very important bit because when it comes down to it, you can return it no questions asked. Not trying to talk down, just think it is important to give all the information
Thanks for watching Bruce. At the time of filming I’d been a Costco member for a few years, and I had no idea about the generous returns policy 🤣🤦♂️ it’s a fair point that many have raised on this video, had I known it at the time I would have mentioned it as it’s another reason to give them a try, so long as you live close enough to warrant driving back to return it.
If you do not like it. Take it back to Costco. While you are at Costco spend 300 more dollars before you leave.
Thanks for watching. At the time of filming, I didn’t realise the return policy was so generous, so if it’s easy to get to, returning the putter makes it a much more attractive choice, especially at its new discounted price
Obviously you don’t shop at Costco. You can take it back if you don’t like it! Lol. NO QUESTIONS ASKED!
I’ve been a member for four years….but never had the need to return anything. I wasn’t aware of the generous returns policy at the time of filming. If you live close enough to return the putter and can be bothered, then I appreciate my point is pretty redundant
I use bush balls so no I could care less if it’s a Kirkland brand putter
Good shout Tim, there’s plenty that don’t care about the branding 👍
I thought it was basically a scotty
Not sure Scotty would agree with that 😎
@@GolfGuyReviews. i think to be fair, it would feel more like a scotty if it had #30 weights instead of the #10 that it comes with by default.
It's 100 bucks now
That makes it worth a punt for sure!
Lol @4:01
Old snake hips 🤣
