Kirkland signature2/28/2023 ![]() Listen, the Kirkland Signature wedges are fine, but let’s not get crazy here. If you’re not, then you won’t.įinal Thoughts – Kirkland Signature Wedge If you’re already good at spinning the ball, you’ll spin them. Kirkland also talks about the milled face, but I wouldn’t look for them add any extra spin or anything. While doable, I wouldn’t say playing low one-hop-and-stop shots are the K-Sig’s forte. These wedges are perfectly fine in terms of performance if you’re looking to play a basic straightforward wedge shot. Basic “get it on the green and roll out” stuff. The thick design and shape are conducive to a relatively square face that will track through the turf fairly smoothly and pop your ball up in the air. The soles aren’t designed for shot diversity and being cute around the greens. With all of that being said, this is where the thick sole we’ve been talking about really comes into play. ![]() What I’m saying is, the Kirkland wedge is designed to set behind the ball with a square face and pop it in the air. They’re also roughly $65/wedge after tax. They are designed for the average player, that might consider picking up golf gear at Costco (don’t me, I know there are cult classics and a range of other golf gear available at Costco) where cost plays a major role. This is not a wedge designed for above average, serious golfers with solid wedge games. Let’s just get this out of the way up front. It’s fairly smooth and clean in terms sole thumping (that’s a technical golf term) through the turf with a wedge. It’s a common sound for a decently struck wedge with soles of this thickness and shape. The distinct sound is that thump through the turf I mentioned before. It’s a fairly muted click, but very nondescript. Much like the feel, the Kirkland wedge doesn’t sound that bad. I suppose it depends on how you like to use your gap wedge, but on full swings with this sole…it just didn’t feel good to me at all. Oh, and the gap wedge? To each their own, but not for me. They’ve been making steel shafts for a few years. It’s made by True Temper so it’s going to be fine. Just get that nice thump feel through the turf and move on.Ī few last final feel notes: the shaft feels on the softer side of wedge flex. I suppose a solid wedge player could still hit a nice crisp sweeper, but that’s just not what these are designed for and that crispy player likely wants a better wedge anyway. Through the turf, they are every bit of a thumper. Speaking of the thick soles, they’re sort of a one-trick pony which we’ll cover in performance, but they make a huge impact on feel. This weighting helps get the club under the ball but also makes the head feel like it’s naturally swinging to the right contact point. There is a lot of weight low in the head, because let’s be honest, these soles are super thick. I can’t tell you I felt a ton of “face location” at impact. The feel is somewhat muted, however, so it shouldn’t be harsh on your hands. You know what? The Kirkland wedges don’t feel that bad! Don’t get me wrong, again, you won’t confuse these for nicely forged Tour-grade wedges when it comes to precise and buttery feel. They aren’t going to pass for a nice National Custom Works wedge by any means. I will say, the branding is very…well…Costco. No, not like a classic vintage square toe. ![]() ![]() From address, the profile is a solid medium and the head has a somewhat stubby toe. If you’re a wedge player that likes the sleek look of something like a Callaway MD5 or a high-end forged Miura, these likely aren’t going to do it for you. Much like the KS1 putter, the Kirkland Signature wedges just look fine. Available as a right-hand only three-piece set consisting of a 52º gap, 56º sand, and 60º lob, these milled-face wedges might be a good value if you can even find them. Following all of the hype from the best of the best in the golf world for the K-Sig ballsand game-changing Kirkland putter, these new wedges were sure be on everyone’s radar. The review the golf world has been waiting for with bated breath for MONTHS. The Kirkland Signature wedge from Costco.
