Well I edited and posted after you so you tell me what that means? What's the charge after 7 days for?

The next dozen balls in the cycle.

You don't get a free dozen at least I didn't. I got 1 dozen for $.99 then was charged $39.95 and didn't receive another dozen.

So then they send you another dozen balls 7 days later and it's just worded poorly I guess.

That's how I read it, but I can see how it can be interpreted your way.

Did you get your free dozen and cancel yet?

I haven't ordered.

I'm probably not going to, because I read some other text on their site that says this:

Which lead me to conclude this:

You don't get a free dozen at least I didn't. I got 1 dozen for $.99 then was charged $39.95 and didn't receive another dozen.


So yea, James, it seems you are right. It does seem dishonest. Looks like the balls are "free" only if you don't keep them.

Yep

So they are free to "try"?  Meaning you could use them and then return?

Do you think they will give a refund if someone can send them the approximate location of where they can locate the 12 balls?

Hmmm... Maybe..

I don't hit it very far, so I would be able to tell with more "approximation" than some.

I was charged as well a few weeks after I got my balls. Make sure you call them. They will send you a dozen a month and charge you for them. You have to call and cancel which I what I did.

I understood that. But I haven't received anything and it has been over a month despite being charged the shipping plus the cost of a dozen.

I really liked these when I tested them.  I thought they were on par with a ProV1, but since they cost just about as much, I didn't find there to be any real value in buying them.

But do you "keep" a ball if its lost in the water/woods, and therefore accept the $40 charge?

This was exactly my opinion as well.  Then I realized that since they're not MORE expensive than ProV1's that there is a big upside:

No worries of anybody ever mistaking your ball for theirs.  My anxiety level after a tee shot into the wrong fairway will be considerably lower knowing that my ball is safe from dummies who go "yup, it's a Titleist, so it MUST be mine" ;)

Also, a little birdie told me that if you order from golfshopcentral.com and use the pro code "sandtrap" that you get a small (10%, I think) discount, so it is definitely a little bit cheaper than Prov1.

So, I bought 2 dozen a couple of weeks ago but haven't played since I received them.  Next week. :)

Haha, But what do you say when your partner looks down at a ball and asks you what ball you're playing?  "uh, well, its got a logo with an orange X on it"?

I found that to be a minor annoyance as most times it lead to a conversation about what the heck i was playing, where i got it, etc..  But I did like the ball.  For $30/doz I'd consider it.

Yeah, I'm not really looking forward to the beginning of a tournament where I have to identify my ball for my playing competitors, because they're all going to do double takes, and likely at least one of them is going to wonder if its one of those goofy illegal balls like the Polara or something.  Like you said ... minor annoyance.

At least it's not a Monsta though.  I couldn't take those seriously at all with the giant green eyeball on it. :-P

I like I am sure many others drank the free ball cool aid, and now I want to cancel.  Do I contact Kick X or the marketing company?

Also, would someone who has successfully canceled their "free deal" please post the contact number or email.

I know I didn't read the terms of the offer, and I realize I'm an idiot, so please don't rub it in. :surrender:

  • 2 weeks later...

OK, let me save everyone some time and get this over with.  I will be the first to admit that am an idiot, I fell for the lure of free balls, I didn't read the fine print, etc., etc. :surrender:

Now that being said, does anybody have the number I need to call to cancel future shipments?

Thanks,

Charles

The number was on their Facebook page (855) 528-3454 https://www.facebook.com/KickXGolf. Funny that they don't have it listed on their website, never a good sign from a business you want to deal with. Good luck.

I really wish they would do away with this little marketing scheme. I can't imagine they need it. The ball is literally the best tour quality ball I have tried in my opinion.

    • Do you have examples of exceptional scores versus their established handicap indexes?
    • Day 539, April 23, 2024 Mirror work once again. When I get back to swings, I'll just do it A. LOT.
    • A bit of background. The Southern California Golf Association (SCGA) runs an annual event known as "Team Play." It is a wildly popular match play competition where Men's Clubs across the region put together teams of 20+ golfers together to compete against other clubs in a 16 vs. 16 match. In any given year, approximately 80-100 clubs will participate. Each club is grouped into "pods" of 4, and will play 6 total matches - one home and one away match against the other 3 clubs. The winning club from each pod advances to the Team Play Playoffs - a single elimination format - until a winner is crowned.  Antelope Valley Country Club just advanced to the championship match for the 3rd consecutive year. They won the championship in both 2022 and 2023.  Based on my review of the match history from the past 3 years (linked below), they have won 21 consecutive team matches. Keep in mind, these are handicapped matches, so this is not just a case where a group of sticks bands together to dominate the poor amateurs other SoCal clubs. Even if these guys are grinders who never quit, play their best under pressure and routinely putt the lights out, the law of averages still say that a streak of that nature is mathematically impossible.  Is there any plausible explanation beyond institutionalized sandbagging throughout the club? Team Play Page
    • Day 3- Practiced putting for 20 minutes. 
    • Interesting that Scottie is #10 on the all time money list and he's been on the PGAT for 4 years. Of course, purses are bigger now, but  neat to look at non-the-less.  The list of top 18 money winners in PGA Tour history has plenty of surprises This list is updated through the 2024 RBC Heritage. To add, Scottie won 4.5 million at the Players, Jack played 44 seasons and won a little of 5 million on course.
