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.

So then they send you another dozen balls 7 days later and it's just worded poorly I guess. Did you get your free dozen and cancel yet?

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.

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

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:

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.

    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
