GolfWRX Spotted: Costco Kirkland Signature irons on USGA Conforming List

Published

on

Costco is continuing its expansion of the Kirkland Signature line into golf with new irons recently spotted on the USGA Conforming List.

Having previously produced balls, wedges and a putter, the new Kirkland Signature (Version 2) irons show that Costco is going all the way with golf equipment, with an offering that includes ‘Kirkland Signature’ and ‘Tungsten’ marked on the backside of the iron head, while ‘Forged’ is marked on the hosel.

Interestingly, the listing states that the irons are manufactured by Indi Golf, who have manufactured their own line of wedges (both conforming and non-conforming) as well as putters.

It appears as if the irons feature in part a hollow body construction and look to be less of a super game improvement iron than many would have anticipated.

In our forums, our members have been discussing the new Kirkland Signature irons and have been sharing their impressions, not least with the similarity in looks of the new additions to TaylorMade’s popular P790 irons.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • st1800e: “Interesting they went for a players distance iron and not a super or ultra game improvement iron.”
  • Klubster: “Logo aside, if they perform well, they will sell. But the logo will put off a lot of people just because of the vanity factor. I would rather see an exclusive brand like Dick’s did with the Tommy Armour 845s. I am sure they would not have sold as well if they had stamped Dick’s on the back.”
  • naj959: “I’m excited about these clubs. They would make the perfect set for my pops, who probably hasn’t swung a club in 10+ years but wants to grab some sticks with the latest tech. And he loves Costco! The members really do think highly of the K-Sig brand. I can see these in the bags of a large number of casual golfers. If they come in lefty, I know what someone’s getting on their birthday.”
  • FormerBigDaddy: “Not gonna lie, they look nice. I also agree that if they changed the logo/stamping on their golf equipment, they might do even better. Minimalist “KS” stamp or maybe “Kirkland” on the hosel like Taylormade does, and just the “Signature” cursive script would be kind of slick. I honestly think they could make some noise in golf equipment if they made a good product that didn’t scream Costco branding at a good price. We all know we overpay for what golf clubs actually cost to make. If they sold these at $399 with dynamic gold shafts, they’d probably sell a lot of them.”

    Why would anyone buy this stuff?
    Surely a good secondhand set of a leading OEM’s iron would be better quality and value?
    I cannot understand why people buy any golf equipment from second rate companies when there is such good value out there

    Some lead tape will easily cover the stamping without hurting playability, though.

    makes sense for them to offer a players distance style iron since they sell the Callaway Edge game improvement set.

Inside Collin Morikawa’s recent golf ball, driver, 3-wood, and “Proto” iron changes

Published

on

As you probably know by now, Collin Morikawa switched putters after the first round of The Masters, and he ultimately went on to finish T3.

The putter was far from the only change he made last week, however, and his bag is continuing to change this week at the 2024 RBC Heritage.

On the range of The Masters, Morikawa worked closely with Adrian Reitveld, TaylorMade’s Senior Manager of Tour at TaylorMade, to find the perfect driver and 3-wood setups.

Morikawa started off 2024 by switching into TaylorMade’s Qi10 Max driver, but since went back to his faithful TaylorMade SIM – yes, the original SIM from 2020. Somehow, some way, it seems Morikawa always ends up back in that driver, which he used to win the 2020 PGA Championship, and the 2021 Open Championship.

At The Masters, however, Rietveld said the duo found the driver head that allowed “zero compromise” on Morikawa’s preferred fade flight and spin. To match his preferences, they landed on a TaylorMade Qi10 LS 9-degree head, and the lie angle is a touch flatter than his former SIM.

“It’s faster than his gamer, and I think what we found is it fits his desired shot shape, with zero compromise” Rietveld told GolfWRX.com on Wednesday at the RBC Heritage.

Then, to replace his former SIM rocket 3-wood, Morikawa decided to switch into the TaylorMade Qi10 core model 13.5-degree rocket head, with an adjustable hosel.

“He likes the spin characteristics of that head,” Rietveld said. “Now he’s interesting because with Collin, you can turn up at a tournament, and you look at his 3-wood, and he’s changed the setting. One day there’s more loft on it, one day there’s less loft on it. He’s that type of guy. He’s not scared to use the adjustability of the club.

“And I think he felt our titanium head didn’t spin as low as his original SIM. So we did some work with the other head, just because he liked the feel of it. It was a little high launching, so we fit him into something with less loft. It’s a naughty little piece of equipment.” 

In addition to the driver and fairway wood changes, Morikawa also debuted his new “MySymbol” jersey No. 5 TP5x golf ball at The Masters. Morikawa’s choice of symbols is likely tied to his love of the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team.

Not enough changes for you? There’s one more.

On Wednesday at the 2024 RBC Heritage, Morikawa was spotted with a new TaylorMade “Proto” 4-iron in the bag. If you recall, it’s the same model that Rory McIlroy debuted at the 2024 Valero Texas Open.

According to Morikawa, the new Proto 4-iron will replace his old P-770 hollow-bodied 4-iron.

“I used to hit my P-770 on a string, but sometimes the distance would be a little unpredictable,” Morikawa told GolfWRX.com. “This one launches a touch higher, and I feel I can predict the distance better. I know Rory replaced his P-760 with it. I’m liking it so far.”
