Costco Kirkland Signature Wedges Version 2
Credit to Golf.com’s Ryan Barath for spotting this on the USGA’s conforming list. It appears that Version 2 of the Costco Kirkland Signature wedge is on the way.
The same remains true for the yet-to-be-launched Kirkland Signature Irons.
It could be an exciting summer for fans of Costco golf equipment.
What a world.
Costco is sold out of its original Signature wedges (though a few sets are still available on Amazon) and the only wedges it has in inventory are the member-only exclusive Bettinardi HLX 3.0s. Given the uproar over the putters, it’s a safe bet the wedges were obtained outside of Bettinardi’s normal and approved distribution channels.
Kirkland Signature Wedges Version 2 – Sets?
Our assumption is that the new Kirkland Signature wedge Version 2 will also be sold as a three-piece set. While I’m not a fan of that approach, the typical Kirkland customer is likely to be a bit more concerned with price than maximizing performance and versatility.
It’s certainly not like Costco offers golf club fitting services so there’s arguably not much practical value in offering variety.
Based on the USGA photos, I think we can expect a basic no-frills sole that will do a decent enough job, given the one-size-fits-all approach.
Kirkland Signature Wedge Version 2 Pricing
The original Costco Kirkland three-piece wedge set sold for $170. That’s basically 3-for-1 by today’s standards. The price could tick up a bit but I expect the new wedges will fall below $200. Again, low price is, by and large, the point.
We won’t know until we know but we don’t expect a Kirkland Signature wedge will be among the top performers on the market. The original finished a distant 17th in Most Wanted testing. Frankly, that’s a lot of ground to make up, even if the value proposition is inarguable.
We don’t have a release date for the Costco Kirkland Signature wedges Version 2 but, given that we’re rolling into the meaty part of the golf equipment buying season, it makes sense to get them on shelves as soon as possible.
More information as it becomes available.
