I just scored this putter today at Costco in Pleasant Prairie, WI for $99.00 on sale. Friggin awesome deal at $40.00 off the regular price.
I won a Kirkland putter at an outing. I was going to sell it but thought I would give it a try. To my suprise I really liked it..better than my Odessy and Ping that I rotate. Ended up selling my other putter and keeping the Kirkland. My brother has a 400 dollar Scotty and they look and feel identical.
I've been playing the KS1 for over a year and like it, my most consistent miss is short. I did buy the weight kit and added weight to the toe and heel as well as the counter balance weight in the handle.
Just added weights as well. Gonna try it out today
I just picked this up a week ago. After gaming the same ultra soft faced Wilson putter for like 8 years I had a bit of an issue with a few puts missing long. This is a way hotter face. But I feel like once I am used to it I'm going to really like it.
Great review! I just picked one up this past weekend and played my first round with it. I was pleasantly surprised on how well it performed. I had been considering it for a while now and after trying other brands, I decided to go with the KS1. Kirkland sells quality products in my opinion, most of their stuff seemed to rebranded high-end brands. I also ordered the weight kit. Most reviews I've seen, prefer the 15g and 20g weights vs the 10g that come with it. I'd love for you to make a follow up video with the weights and get your take on them. Thanks, cheers 🍻 !
Awesome choice dude. I it will serve you very well. Thanks for the video idea I just might do that sooner than later
I can literally feel the 105 degrees through my screen. Great vid man
You were great on those short putts..I think I'll look into getting the Kirkland...I played the Kirkland ball it was a good one...
Another very nice review. A guy at the club I am a member of bought one just for the heck of it a loves it. I have yet to try it myself, but hopefully he will let me roll it soon.
Appreciate the support John. I honestly bought it and planned to return it, but liked it so much I kept it, haha
Good review. Enjoyed your presentation of the Kirkland putter.
Thank you kindly!
Good review again Gabe. My Rossa Monza is not performing at the moment. I know it is me, not the club but if the Kirkland was available here, for that price I would give it a try.
Sounds like we need to start a little black market trade in Thailand
Just ordered a Sacks Parente series 66 and can’t wait to get hold of it. Personally I think the price of something is subjective. If you can afford the technology to help improve your game then I think it is worth the extra However this putter looks like value for money. Thanks for the review. If I could not afford the Sacks I think I would order a Kirkland 😮
Would like it in a short slant neck. Not a fan of plumbers neck style. Nice review!
Nice review!! I think for the price those Kirkland wedges and putter are really decent!!
Yes such great value. Thanks
Looking at pulling the trigger and picking up this week. Putter on sale for $139 CDN and weight kit on clearance for $19.97 CDN…$159CDN ($125 USD) total for milled face and customization with weight kit seems like it warrants a few rounds.
I still use a Ping anser 2. It has a very small sweet spot. I am stepping up finally and getting a Bettinardi Queen B6
I got this on sale item from the local Costco and feel like Evnroll putter or Scotty square back2. For me the head weight is 340g is little bit lighter so I ordered weight kit from Costco online. Actually I purchased the same one and returned it cause I did not like the function at that time without proper preparation but I'm confident this season it will work because I've practiced more and more with this KS1. Many people emphasizing on the price but I feel high end quality putter from KS1 also.
💯- this thing stands on its own toe to toe with the best
I just bought one as it was $50 off, what a deal! It allows me to buy the extra weight set for fine tuning.
Sweet!!! That’s a heck of a deal
Bought this putter and also got the weight kit. For me, the 15 gram weights rather than the stock 10 or heaviest 20 gram combo felt just right. Really nice now for the $. Should be a great investment opportunity as this will probably be a collector’s item.Thanks.
Awesome! Congrats
Did you also put the 50g weight that goes in the grip? If so do you like it?
@@nolansofie9975 yes 👍
It helps that you’re a damn good putter
A collectors item? Lol 😂
Great review gabe
My longtime putter has been letting me down bigtime lately. Im going to go pick one of these up tomorrow and see how it rolls. Worst that happens is i return it and go back to my old putter. Love costco return policy
Yes exactly!
Just a thought, I wonder if the putter you ended on would always do better simply because you have hit the same shot so many times.
Maybe mix up the order of the putter for more consistent and reliable testing.
Only $99 now.. Picked one up a few months ago... Love it.
I'm getting my brother this putter and weight kit for his birthday. He's terrible on the green and hopefully this will turn that around for him.
Nice looking putter. Probably the best out there for the money! Great review Gabe!
Yeah dollar for dollar Costco is solid. Just need irons and drivers now
The weight adjustability is a very nice feature on the Costco Putter. Depending on the course you might want to add or take weight out of the putter. I made the mistake a week ago of taking the Kirkland to Torrey Pines and not changing the weight on it. The greens at Torrey Pines were wicked fast and I had the heavier weights on it for the courses I normally play. If you like a heavier putter or the ability to adjust the weight the Costco is a good reasonably priced putter.
That makes sense. Congrats on playing Torrey! How’d you shoot?
@@LetsPlayThru Fair. I'm an 10-12 handicapper so I wasn't expecting a superior round but the greens really caught me off guard. They were shockingly fast. Too fast to be honest. I've played pool tables that were slower. I think I had five three puts on the course and I normally average about 15-18 puts for 18 holes. Other than that it was a very pleasant course.
@@tcofield1967 Oh wow, I love the pool table analogy. I’m hopefully going to play it in September 🤞
@@tcofield1967 avg 15-18 putts for 18 holes?? I’m calling major BS on that!!
@@craigvoigt3159 yeah. That’s a mistake on my part. I have no idea why I wrote that. I’m more 33-36 per 18. Not horrible but not fantastic either.
Sooooooooooooooo much mark up on "top tier" name brand clubs. Great video! Always enjoy your content!
indeed. thanks Newman!
You get what you pay for. I’m certain the Costco putters have the same degree of craftsmanship that the Scotty’s have (facetious).
Bought it today. Will be testing it out with 4 rounds next week after we see the heat come back here in NSB. Will most likely order the weight kit in a week or so. As always Gabe very good information.
I’m in NSB as well. Where do you play?
@@ryand4940 I play all over. Live in Hidden Lakes, play there. Play also the folowing at times....Riviera, Daytona Beach North and South, NSB Muni. Venetian Bay. Go out to Eustis and Sorrento. Play Spruce Creek. And a few others here and there. Where do you play?
@@gilleonard7378 I literally just started and I’m obsessed with it already. Getting some lessons later this week so I can have a good base. I’m ultra competitive so I know I’m going to dive into this sport and do whatever it takes to be good at it. I’m in real estate here in NSB so my schedule can afford me to get out more than the average guy. I plan on going out and trying all the public courses in the area. Couple buddies of mine play Venetian Bay often so I’ll go there more often I’m sure.
@@ryand4940 If you are looking to play sometime let me know. Always fun and like to laugh.
@@ryand4940 Playing Venetian Bay Thursday morning.
I wonder how these compare to the Cleveland Huntington beach line of putters. They cost around the same but maybe there's a big difference in feel and performance?
i own the putter and just bought the wedges this week. i am not the best putter and just a average golfer. If you dont have the game their is no need to buy expensive clubs these seem to have great value for a higher handicap golfer ! thnxz for the review
Nice the wedges are sweet
I thought "face-balanced" meant something different, about how the weight was distributed front (face) and back of the putter. By your definition, any putter with a graphite shaft will be (more) face-balanced...
we can get this here, but they want to charge $250 AUD which is a nearly 50% more than in the US, and another $55 if you want the weight kit. this is comparable to the lower end Taylormade TP putters. Its still half what scotty would cost, but seems to perform well!
We need to setup some black market trade sounds like
Test this putter with the weight set and it goes from a good putter to a "great" putter and will compete with any putter out there.
The weight set should be a default part of the putter selling package.
Good to hear, Wayne, thanks
Another great review. Good to see theres some good cheap options out there as well. Would like to see some quality testing as well. Will it rust if it gets wet? I wonder sometimes about cheap clubs if they also use cheap componets that might break easy. It definalty looks like it will make a solid putt tho.
Yeah everything seems to be very good quality. I’d be surprised if it fell apart
It is milled stainless steel, should not rust.
I realy just wanted to see gabe throw it off the roof. Lol
I just did the same with new irons. Wanted forged but didnt want to pay $1300 so I tried the ben Hogan forged PTx Pros. Loved them and ordered a set. Got a 10% discount and the took my trade which were ping g400s. $550 for forged.....no brainer....
Nice score!
How did you get discount, and where did you try them out before ordering?
@@timm5514 10% discount popped up when I was on their website. Only place you can try them out is club championship. I'm familiar with the graphite shaft and grip so that was a plus but I didnt try them b4 I purchased. I got $220 for my 4 yr old ping g400s via their trade in program. So irons were around 550. They are nice irons and only issue I have is you have to hit the ball and not rely on the spring face of the pings. Once you get the feel it's all good. I've found no difference in accuracy actually for me the hogans are better...
I laughed....being a ping zing2 diehard.
Ping lag dominated the other two.. you "not forgiving hard to control and don't love it". Immediately hit horrific lags with that other money stick....that u use daily BTW ...and blame the stroke. BUT PING which has decades of evidence on its side to the contrary caused u issues.
Ping is a light putter and having used it along with dozens of other brands and styles can attest it is unquestionably best for distance control of any I've ever touched for multiple build/design reasons.
As to the Kirkland it is a viable option and for that reason I appreciated the video.
Saks not a face balanced, it is a "Toe hang" is a quality of toe-balanced putters. The clubface of a toe-balanced putter will, when the shaft of the putter is balanced lengthwise across a golfer's finger, be angled toward the ground. In other words, the toe of such a putter will hang down, pointing toward the ground.
When a putter is face balanced, it will point straight up in the air when the club is balancing at the balance point. You can test if your putter is face balanced by holding the club with your finger at its balance point when it is parallel to the ground and seeing if the face of the club points up in the air.
I only see it at 34 inch? are other options available ?
Really enjoyed this Costco series. Guess it really depends if you can live with having “Kirkland” on your clubs. I thought was a bit laughable a month ago but everyone on RUclips has praised their golf line as being great value and there are a lot of us who need to save some $
Yes, not just Rotisserie Chickens and Big Screen TVs there. The golf line is legit!
@@LetsPlayThru that’s hilarious. I’m in Australia and Costco is pretty new here but you can’t go in without picking up a “BBQ chook” the value is just too good
I replaced my old Cleveland wedges with Costco wedges and haven't noticed a difference other than the grip size.
Awesome, and yeah that’s an easy fix
Best putter I have ever owned.
Nice. I just wish there wasn’t so many logos
Too bad they don't make lefties 😞 , but nice to see you can find decent price clubs .
I think they do sell it online
Best of those is that ZING2 ! Whole golf world is kidding themselves and us pretending there is anything before or since that rolls it better!
Definitely doesn't have the look of a budget putter. I'm too attached to me current putter to try something new though.
Enjoyed the review but a having a low balance point is not what face balanced means. In order for a putter to be called face balanced it must be a putter where the face, faces upwards when you balance the shaft on your finger.
ah, good to know. Thank you for the correction
correct, ks1 is the closet to face balanced of the three..... face balanced is best for a straight back and thru stroke.
Do you know if they make it in left handed?
Online I see that it exists but looks like it’s sold out at the moment.
@@LetsPlayThru thanks for the info!
Thinking of getting a new putter... should I go with the ks1 or the odyssey 1?Both blades around the same price.
KS1 for me, especially as it has some adjustability with the weighting, but both are pretty great
Kirkland KS1 is most likely made by Callaway.
Do they make these left handed?
Yes
It performed as well as your $500 putter. Why spend the extra money unless you need to be seen with a $500 putter. I recently went PXG 0211 through the bag. They performed as well as the big brands at a lower cost for every utuber.
Nice, I know a guy I follow here, The Average Golfer, did the same. It's a solid set and nice to see PXG prices getting reasonable.
Agree , watch the Rick Shiels review of the 0211 driver, he wonders why they produce others.
I remember my first putt.. SHEEESH
A real good deal if you like a Ping Anser Knock off. Scotty does make mallets that are forged aluminum Futura that feels like a blade. I found a mint condition one on eBay for $150....Chose your poison. If they go in the hole...Keep it..
That’s a great eBay snag, congrats
@@LetsPlayThru The Futura mid size is the one...I saw you have something similar...
@@saintcruzin yes I have a Futura X5
forget the putter, what tip for putting like a madman do you have?
I had to GREATLY recalibrate your estimated age when u said college graduate 2003.
Very American, “on this little short green.” It looks twice the size of the largest green at my club 😂
Hey, everything is bigger in Texas! 🤣
@@LetsPlayThru I know, I was at 24th AF in San Antonio and had a round. My comment at one of the green edges was,”my god the green in a Par 3 on its own.”
Putter is a putter. I've had my Bobby Grace Cute Kid for probly over 12 years and am still putting strong.
Ego Logo !!
It’s the person using it
Scottys are great but come on ££££££ not worth it
It ain’t the arrows. Looks like it is the Indian!
I just feel if a club has some decent tech in it the price isn't the biggest factor. I think there's really only two tiers stock or fitted. All other features on stocked putters is just that features.
As much as I enjoy these comparisons the only good review is where something like Iron Byron is used with the clubs. You must take out the human element for a true comparison.
Scotty all day long. But you cant argue the convenience of buying a putter, a $1 hotdog, and underwear in bulk all at once.
Haha, well said
@@LetsPlayThru it would have been nice to see you compare head to head with a scotty. Gotta make sure to alternate using each one first on putts. In the end, someone who putts well can putt with anything. When you buy a scotty, your not buying less putts...your buying hope...lol.
Yes unfortunately my Scotty is in the Futura line so wasn’t a good apples to apples but I like your idea of alternating putts. Will do next time. BTW, I am a watch fanatic so I’ll be checking out your channel
Surely you gotta test it against a Scotty ?
My Scotty is in the Futura line so wouldn’t have worked but have tested the classic design many times so basing more off experience then a head to head battle.
That’s it you’ve got it ,let’s all keep getting all our stuff from chine and the 👍 👍👍👍👍👍 on second thoughts let’s just live there
Guys play a round with some ramdom people with a full bag of kirkland.....whos your sponsor bro?
Costco🤣
It’s pronounced “Cost-co”. So many people say it wrong.
Kirkland is a weird name
ha, I see what you did there :)
too much noise!
You are comparing very different putters…..your Ping is 25+ years old and was $50 and the Sacks Parente is a $500 putter. Also, Kirkland putter is useless without the weight kit.
Yeah, the ping answer 2 that tiger and countless other used to win were worthless without the weight kit😂
This putter works fantastic at 340 grams. Period
Better than a Scotty? A Costco putter? Come on folks, let’s get real. Is the Costco putter good? Possibly, but don’t kid yourselves thinking it’s better than a Scotty. Psh, unreal!
Yeah, Scotty's have gold dust in them and they're made by fairies...so of course they're better especially since they set you back $400 or more off the shelf. LOL. I mean, Scotty's ARE going to have more technology and research, so I suppose there's something to be said about that, but it's a putter. To me, putting is about 90% between the ears and maybe 5 or 10 percent about the putter you're using. Length, feel and looks are the most important aspects of the putter to me, which leads to confidence level. Probably 5% or less of putting success is about the technology in the putter IMHO. To some people, spending $500 on a putter alone is what gives them confidence...the price and name on the putter mean absolutely nothing to me...0%. That said I wouldn't make the same argument about drivers and fairways where there's significant performance differences between...say...the SIM2s and the el cheapo's. Irons fall someplace in between IMHO...all the manufacturers claim their latest design iron is the best ever, which is mostly marketing bullsh**, though now and then someone comes up with something worthwhile in iron technology.
Brand name does not automatically mean better. There's hundreds of KS1 reviews on the internet and they all say it's a great putter
One thing that is not in question.... more putts have been missed using a Scotty today than have ever been missed with Kirkland EVER 🤔
Lmfao, if you actually think a standard milled Cameron putter is any better than any other putter made by the same machinery and same material bearing a different name I honestly feel bad for you.
Obviously if you go to Cameron's studio and have one fitted to you, then yes, this product won't be equal.
🤣
I got a Super Select Squareback for Christmas. A really great feeling putter for sure for me. And it feels amazing and does everything well, in close to lags and longer putts.
I also have a KS1 that I’ve had for several years and it’s been a good putter, especially for the price.
But after I got the Scotty, I was wondering if I could make the KS1 feel and perform comparable to the Scotty. I cut it down to about 33 1/2”, replaced the original grip with a Flatso 2.0, had the lie adjusted to fit me (also had lie adjusted on the Scotty). And it felt so good but it was too light swing weight. KS1 was D0 and Scotty was E1. Added lead tape, balanced on toe and heel, still light. Added #8 lead shot inside the 10 gram toe and heel weights (they’re hollow) and the results are amazing. I actually like it better than the Scotty. It’s more consistent for me.
Frankenstein Putter? Maybe a bit 😂, but the end result is amazing. Good as the Scotty? Maybe, maybe not. Putts as well or even better…for me.
Getting rid of the Scotty? No Making some adjustments to the Scotty? Probably
Point is, don’t sell it short just because of the name on the putter. None are magic out of the box unless you get very lucky.
Junk it looks nothing like a SC
It looks so much like a Scotty Cameron that I would not be surprised if it’s made by Titleist
