Looks like they are the same price using the TST promo code.

Sale Price: $39.95

Dang- how much are these things? Why is no  one on tour using them?

Because no one is getting paid to use them would be my guess. They are much better than a proV1X IMO.

Lol I feel like the guy just hit his shot into the woods at the beginning. @iacas are you on staff with them or have any advertising deal with them or do you use them by preference?

Much better than a Pro V1x? I don't know about that. A bit better? Yeah, IMO they are. And that's saying something as the Pro V1x is a great ball. As an owner of TST and as a PGA pro and some other things, I could get some B330 or Pro V1x free or really really inexpensively. I choose to play the KickX ball.

The same company produces our DVDs, etc., so am I "on staff"? Kinda, but not really.

The balls are good, the KickX irons are good. I know the designer (and some of his prior work you'd all know too).

Pretty good ball.

P.S. Use the promo code. They're $39.

I would agree. If I had a top 3 list of golf ball they would be a three way tie.

Bridgestone B330, Titleist Pro-V's, KickX

I've tried all three and there is no significant difference between them in terms of performance.

The only reason I haven't switched to the KickX is because I have 5-dozen Bridgestones left over from last year. Got a few for Christmas, won another couple on the forum here. Once I run through those I might switch brands.

They are $6.00-$10.00 dollars cheaper per dozen. That is pretty significant when you consider they are pretty much equivalent in performance.

I'm not saying that the proV1X isn't good they are good. I just don't like how they feel on and around the greens. Which for me is what matters most. The Kick X feels like a perfect mix of the ProV and ProV1X. It seems to be long off the tee and feel great on and around the greens.

Man, these last few people posting are really selling the KickX.  Are you guys on the payroll?

Hey, the ball might be good.  Not saying that it isn't.  However, who wants to participate in a scam that charges your credit card every month after you make your initial purchase?

If I could find these in the store I would try them.  But no way in he11 am I signing up for their TV promotional crap where they get my credit card number and start charging it every month for golf balls I may not want or need.

You can buy them without signing up for the monthly scam thingie, you know. Golfshopcentral.com I like them pretty much equally to prov1 or prov1x or b330 or the new Callaway chrome soft I've been playing the last few weeks. I'm sure the top srixon and Tm balls are equally good but I've not tried them.

I think I will pass on these.  Thanks for all of the feedback.  Sounds like a great ball but with a great hassle.

Friend of mine gave me a Kick X ball, played it today, weather wasn't great but the ball played really well .  Consider me intrigued, once I run out of my Pro V1x's, I will have to get a dozen to try out.  It was definitely long off the tee, even a little longer the Pro V1x when I hit them both well.  They both played well around the green, have to play some more with the ball.

As much as I like the KickX tour ball, I am also dealing with their "promotional marketing headache"

I ordered a dozen when they were advertised on the Golf Channel back in February ($.99 shipping deal and kept the balls and was later that month charged $29.95

On Monday, I noticed I had a charge from them for $29.95

I called them and ask to cancel the order and for a refund.

The next day I was refunded only $20.00

I'll be giving them a call tomorrow to inquire why I did not receive a full refund.

That sucks!

I've been buying them on eBay from a seller that ships quick. Bought a dozen Thu and they came in today's mail. GSC was very slow with shipping.

I finally find a Kick X ball which I almost threw out because I thought it was a range ball due to alignment markings... I am waiting until the season gets going before I put it to the test however.

 

I could not find thread about the ball, almost like it was lost in the the transition or no longer sponsored.

There's one. Your post was merged into another.

The ball is quite good. There are some numbers for the KickX ball here, too:

Thanks @iacasI guess I put a "space" in between the kick and the X and it is not supposed to be.
