THESE COSCTO WEDGES GOOD ENOUGH TO GO IN THE BAG!? (KIRKLAND SIGNATURE)

[@SASGolf]

Thanks for watching Guys! The balls I rate by the way, can’t beat them for value.

[@mjgeorge6670]

I think here in the US we have version 2.0 Kirkland golf balls. I played 2-8 handicap and played Pro V1 religiously for the price love the new Kirkland.

[@bigdogpete43]

I don't like their balls. I think I have a dozen I would give away.

[@Josh-lb6qb]

@@bigdogpete43 I absolutely love the Kirkland balls

[@evolver8415]

All 3 times I've broken 90 this season were with kirkland balls, absolutely love them.

[@johnblair2294]

Off topic question but what are those Nike golf shoes you're wearing?

[@xxcessus]

What I love about your channel is that you are just yourself and don’t have any airs or graces. You have a lovely down to earth attitude that the ordinary golfer can relate to. Thank you for your common sense in relation to golf products. Here in the US ( I’m a Brit expat) I belong to a group of old guys who play every Tuesday. It’s a Christian fellowship group and we have a lot of fun, most not taking the game too serious. Thanks for being so sensible with golf products that are in a lot of cases at ridiculous prices 😊🏌️🏌️

[@LetsPlayThru]

You nailed it, confidence in the club you're swinging is everything. I fully intended on returning them but they were so good I kept them, 🤣 Enjoy your new wedges!

[@Gbralta]

I just got a set and I’m floored by how good they are.

[@guyhall6592]

Reviews just like this one, TXG, etc. is why i ran to the Costco and bought me a set. Thanks to all you club review people!!!

[@ShivasIrons22]

One thing about the wedges that is appealing to me, is that they can be replaced annually without great cost. I think most of us keep our wedges too long due to the high cost of replacement.

[@UnseenSpirit]

How many rounds do a set of clubs last you?

[@booni5114]

@@UnseenSpirit I would also like to know this

[@IMKINDOFABIGDEAL13]

Hahaha annually? You must be a top tour pro

Really down to earth review for the “average” golfer, no in depth tech description just does it work and is it good value. Great stuff Simon.

[@miker5502]

Just ordered a set of these tonight…Simon always has the last word on golf gear for me…Cheers from Nova Scotia!

[@brinaylor385]

Absolutely love this channel and the honesty and heart that comes with it.

[@guyhall6592]

1000% AGREE. Simon is my fav UK golf dude. You learn more attending SAS videos than any other. No offense to AVG golfer, the COVID bulge grp of: Peter, Rick and Robbo, SAS is the best!!!

Haha I can’t wait to get the new house and get a BBQ on the go 💪

[@andytlwy]

@@SASGolf I’m currently gaming the Inesis 500 putter which is an unbelievable upgrade on their 100 putter that so many have made reviews on. Milled face, Black odyssey 7 shape and WINN grip. I know decathlon had it on sale for £34 a few months ago be great if you found it to review! Good luck mate!

[@michaellischio7617]

I rebuilt my bag last fall. The Kirkland wedges are the only clubs I bought new. Simon would be proud. I bought G 700 irons for $400. He was dead on, the pw is 44°. The day after I bought the Kirkland’s there was a Cleveland RTX (used) 48° in the pro shop for $25. All told I bought 5 wedges for $240.

[@badmuppet6532]

Couldn’t agree more, especially about the 50, 54, 58

[@edbobich4775]

I purchased these wedges two months ago and have played my best golf of the year with them. I ditched Cleveland CBX wedges and a Ping Glide 3.0 gap wedge because I liked these so much.

[@TheSpiffyBiscuits]

You make such a good point about keeping clubs in the bag if they work no matter how old they are. I’ve just been through a fairway wood search only to come back to my 20 year old Callaway Warbird 3+ wood. Nothing goes straighter or longer so in the bag it goes! Just got to put up with the side eye from other players.

[@Gripperstebson12345]

Dead right Simon, confidence is everything which is why I still keep my 15 year old Rife island series putter in the bag,

[@bikergolfer]

Please make a head to head battle Decathlon vs Kirkland! Wedges, balls and putter please!

[@sausagembape677]

If you're going to Decathlon you need to try the clothes, especially the Polo's, the balls are brilliant but the premium ones have jumped in price. Shoes look good as well. Costco balls are very soft, don't wear well and spin like crazy. They have bought out a new one in America which I presume will come out soon

[@Soul-Taker]

Yeah I don't think they're (Kirkland balls) particularly good value if they don't wear well. If you're a rubbish golfer and your local course has a lot of water hazards or bushes then the Kirkland balls might make sense. I'm rubbish but I don't tend to lose many balls at my local course so using decent quality balls is not silly.

[@billsinclair313]

Yes, the Kirkland version 2.0 is much better. Longer, less spin, more durable. The version 2.0 is a great golf ball in my estimation.

[@crashserge1]

That is so *&%?%* rare having someone giving an honest review. Keep on doing them mate.

[@terrylaw1047]

Thank you, it would be great to see a semi long term test as other golf pro's do not give updates on clubs they may put in their bags, always enjoy your videos.

[@martingore8030]

I play off 12 I have ram wedges had them in my bag for 3 years now had the big names didn't get on with them thanks for the content.👍

[@jicalzad]

Been waiting for these wedges to show up back at my Costco after seeing them last spring/summer. I needed a new set of wedges and am kicking myself for not pulling the trigger last yr

[@guyhall6592]

Simon, I've been playing these wedges, balls & gloves all summer long. (TXG review convinced me) Replaced grips immediately, the shafts are a little soft, they would be OUTRAGOUES with a shaft upgrade. I've never chipped in so many, never. Luv the sound, feel...PRICE!!! $159.99 + grips $178.99...how much are the Vokey, Callaway, Titleist, TaylorMade etc.? $200.00 + per I've never been a good wedge player until now...equipment and technique make the real difference. Never satisfied am I, after the Hogan TK-15 wedge set, 52, 56, 60 heads only: $55.00 + S&H (12.95) It's all your fault SAS, you've created a monster on this side of the pond. I'm collecting Hogan equipment and loving every minute of the quest; much thanks mate!!! Rumors in USA: Kirkland wedges are Callaway, balls are Titleist. Titleists rep told me directly the other day during my club fitting. ALL THE BEST!!! /G

[@richardw64]

Confidence and a decent golf ball that feels right at contact.

[@obionegolf6247]

If you think those are good value, try the Pron wedges from Amazon. £115 for 50, 54 & 58. I have and... I'll leave that to you if you fancy trying. OK I think they are awesome

[@grapefairy9009]

You should review Pinemeadow clubs! They're a little known American brand, but the claim to have similar performance to certain high end clubs. I've used them before, and they've worked just fine for me.

[@fretless05]

For a really long time, I played Bombtech wedges; they were also available often through sales at US$119 for a 3-wedge set. I'd love to see a side by side comparison with these wedge sets. I no longer play that set because, like you said, I found I needed 54 and 58 to keep the gaps right with my iron set, which had a 50-degree gap wedge included.

[@Hegarz]

I bought the Kirkland balls to use on the practice area at my club as they were cheap, but ended up switching to using them as my main ball now. For my level (mid handicap) it does everything I need, and I don't stress it if I lose a couple.

[@jacobblair5016]

Wilson Smart Core is 24$ for 2 dozen also. I have absolutely love using the Wilson Smart Core balls. They have been rated in the top 3-5 of budget balls.

[@craigdavis9760]

Great video! Love you honest and genuine thoughts and feedback not only on the clubs but the reality of a budget especially while having a family and expenses.

[@ShaunY1988]

The brand Kirkland is simply other high end branded stuff relabeled, doing some research for example, the Kirkland batteries are relabeled Duracell batteries, the diapers and wet wipes are made by Kimberley Clark who make Huggies, the bottled water is made by the Niagara falls water company, the Kirkland hearing aids are relabeled sonic hearing aids. Although there is no company openly admitting to making these wedges other than the southern California design company who also manufacture Callaway wedges, the balls are made by Korean company Nassau who make TaylorMade golf balls.

[@Gatorgolfusa]

Kirkland has the golf industry watching!🐊🚩🇺🇸🦅👍

[@Andrewgolf90]

I currently have 3 cleveland wedges same lofts as the kirklands. Never felt the most confident in mg wedge game. Now youve got me thinking! Great video

[@tke2414]

The balls and gloves are great value as are the wedges. At my store you get 4 gloves for $20.

[@johndejesus4357]

Excellent mate...

[@ryansantiago941]

You can buy the Kirkland balls, sell for huge markup on US eBay, easy and good profits

[@MrChrissWilliams]

What’s going on Simon, the 2nd hand clubs specialist with new clubs at the top end of the bag new clubs, bottom end of the bag. I know you got great deals on them both 👍🏻

[@Soul-Taker]

I had the opportunity to buy the balls, wedges, Putter, and iron set recently but I passed. I'm not a good golfer by any means but I feel like the better known brands produce better, more forgiving clubs and I feel more confident about using them. In other words I need all the help I can get!

[@IMKINDOFABIGDEAL13]

Just picked up a slightly used set of these for 107 dollars and the person that bought them originally re gripped with some oversized golf pride wraps. Pretty excited for my wrist to heal up.

[@mobass8354]

[@johnp8131]

I'd be interested on your views on second hand British/Irish golf clubs as they're still relatively reasonably priced? MD used to be the 'go to', decent budget clubs but now it seems to be Benross? There must be others as well? What do you think Simon?

[@michaelguthrie6985]

Love it shows you don’t need to spend mega bucks to get a good level of new equipment. There is so many decent package sets out there if your wanting new stuff at low prices that are available. I wonder if Kirkland will move into making irons and other clubs.

[@SASGolf]

Be very interested to see if they expand. The problem with irons is that they will have to produce a lot more combinations, left and right handed. Regular and stiff, etc. Be interested to see what happens to be fair.

[@tke2414]

They used to offer a full Callaway set, woods, irons and a putter for either $500 or $600. They flew out of the stores faster than they could stock them.

[@christopherclarke5978]

If your getting the Inisis balls from decathlon make sure there the 900s model not the 100 brick ball.

[@GONADSable]

Well done Simon for even considering to try these other brands ,inesis and Kirkland golf gear Always enjoy your advise and input Thanks again

[@chucklucas8747]

Have been playing these for a year now they are great but the grips suck replaced them an it did help in the performance

[@stephenfox6276]

the fact they only offer 52/56/60 is the reason I don't have them . I went for ben sayers XF 50/54/58 (£30 per wedge) in black and they are great and could make good video for you

[@donpepeho4534]

I have a pack of the Kirkland gloves. They feel like the Bridgestone ones I used prior. Maybe a lil thicker but it seems like it will be longer lasting to me 🤷‍♂️

[@scottcarpenter910]

I bought the wedges and love them. The only thing I had to do was change the grips cause they are garbage as far as I’m concerned. Easy fix though. Great clubs other wise 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@interestedbystander196]

I have these wedges. I _love_ them, and my Mac Daddies are languishing in the sell pile...

[@mgibuk]

I'd agree on the loft thing. Building my bag up I got a 60 degree wedge because that's what you do, then a 56 and then a 50 GW to sit in-between my 56 and 45 degree wedge. Kind of wish I had 50/54/58 now though because I rarely get my 60 degree out the bag apart from out the bunker where I'm typically opening the face anyway.

[@terrydinsdale1115]

Simply Love it...great content as always Simon

[@jamie10gers]

Confidence thing really does Go a long way, I wouldn't even know how to begin to swing anything other than a big bertha 454... As a driver anyway... Been using it 14years now... Not the exact same one I had 14 years ago but none the kess

[@curtisrose2263]

Just found this channel, really like what you’re doing. Any advice on upgrading irons? Currently have Taylor made rbz and have got down from 18 to 13 in the last year or so, pretty average swing speed reg flex etc…

[@Hitchcawk]

Stick the head in some acetone to remove the paint fill on the head… they look WAY better

[@johnsherry9212]

Great review, Simon. I am in between these or the Decathlon Inesis wedges, so will wait until you review them before making my decision.

[@3_character_minimum]

I got a perfect set of CG 16 of Cleveland, at 48, 54 and 60, for 60euro. Ebay is the ultimate in bargins, but from new I have to say Decathilon and Costco may have the market cornered.

[@darrenmacfarlane5944]

Hi a few videos ago you done one on a Nike Fly pro 3 iron. On EBay at the moment they are going for over £500 for one club. And for a set they are going for over £400. I have a set and I was thinking of upgrading do you think I should sell them or keep a hold of them. And for the wedges I may get a set from Costco. Keep the great video going. Thanks Darren.

[@grimacemcdonald1]

[@noControl556]

I've swapped the grips on mine, the tape they use is like a spongy styrofoam vs. masking tape, it's what makes the grips feel mushy

Thanks Simon been to Costco today & nearly bought a set the only problem is I have a full set of mizuno irons & already have a 52 degrees in my set,would love your thoughts & thanks for a great review

[@karl9675]

Great video simon do you think they could be de lofted? I would love to see a review of the new benross drivers. With the price of second hand clubs are these worth buying? Thanks

[@SASGolf]

Benross in my eyes is a very underrated brand to be fair. I would say there the best value in the woods department as a brand new club manafacturer.

[@simonmorgan225]

I was seriously considering these wedges as I needed a sand wedge for my new set. In the end the thought of getting rid of my sm6 made me sad so I bought a sm5 sand wedge instead. If I had to replace all 3 wedges though these would be in the bag.

[@billpilling5725]

Been using Wilson Staff Duo Soft and Elite 50 balls the last few weeks and for under 20 bucks a dozen theyve outperformed and ive lost fewer of them than any of the 40, 50 an $60 a dozen balls ive used this year. Recommend 10/10.

[@ShivasIrons22]

The balls appear to be the older generation 3 piece. They spun too much off the driver for many. The version 2.0 3 piece is the one to look for.

[@Adamfitz93]

Wish I could buy these without spending 60 dollars or getting charged an extra 5 percent without a membership.. at 180 ish are these even worth it or would it be better to save up for a better brand for a bit more? I’m considering just going with the Lazrus set for 137, they seem more of a good deal.

[@zacarich]

What about Lazarus vs Kirkland wedges

[@michealhudson4515]

I hit my friends and was really impressed and I would change grips immediately. Way to small but I think with a mid size dri tac grip these would be hard to beat

[@malthuswasright]

I think 52/56/60 is fine (not just because that's what I use alongside Ping G series irons). And playing in 30 degrees in summer? You're not in the UK then!

[@firstnamelastname6038]

Nice wedges but needs more packaging.

[@geoffsampson3225]

Interested in why a golf club ever need more packaging? They aren't going to perish in the box and plastic wrapping isn't readily recycled. Just interested, does lots of packaging give a perception of higher quality?
