The Kirkland Signature lost more than 40 percent of its spin on a 50-yard shot when the face was wet. The wedges have very poor performance when the clubface is wet.If you fit the mold that Kirkland built this wedge for, you may benefit. Not having shaft, loft, grind or bounce options makes this a difficult fit for a wide range of players.Some of the most important tester feedback: Some golfers were surprised by how great this wedge looked and felt and others immediately noticed the issues with distance control that we saw based on the data. The tester feedback was mixed with the Kirkland Signature wedges.
But what it won’t do is give most golfers any game-changing performance when it comes to spin and distance control. It fills three wedge spots in the bag for a fair price. Overall, the Kirkland Signature does exactly what we would expect. For comparison, the TaylorMade MG3 was the highest rated with a score of 90.3 and some of the lower-performing wedges had average scores in the 74-76 range. The overall rating of the Kirkland Signature was 80/100. Consistently higher distances were viewed as favorable by our testers. However, the issue is whether that consistent performance is the performance you need.Ĭonsistently lower spin rates are a bit of a problem. Consistency is good as it helps players know what to expect. If you hit errant shots with your wedges or spin can be unpredictable, the Kirkland Signature may have some technology you need. The consistency score was 84.90 out of 100. ConsistencyĬonsistency is where Kirkland stood out from some of the other wedges we tested and is probably the strong point if you are considering purchasing this wedge. When evaluating wedges, distance control is one of the most important features and Kirkland struggled to keep up with the rest. There was some trouble with controlling the distance. Golfers did not seem to have much trouble hitting the wedge straight. The Kirkland Signature wedge had an accuracy score of 80.10 out of 100. In addition, when the Kirkland clubface gets wet, it struggles to maintain its spin rates. There are no special features when it comes to groove-in-groove technology or anything that will help increase spin rates. The spin from the Kirkland Signature wedges is average. However, for the 2021 wedge test, the highest spin score was 93.8 for the Titleist Vokey SM8. The spin score for the Kirkland Signature wedge was 75.80 out of 100.
Kirkland Signature wedges struggled most in their spin score and did best in consistency. We tested the three main categories for wedge performance: spin, accuracy and consistency. In addition, we made sure to test the Kirkland Signature for players at different swing speeds and with moisture on the face as a variable. When our final details were calculated, outliers were removed.
#KIRKLAND SIGNATURE PRO#
All golfers used Titleist Pro V1 balls to help minimize variables. The Kirkland Signature was part of our 2021 wedge test which included 35 golfers using the Foresight GC Quad launch monitors.
