Hm. Looks like the ball isn't even showing on their site anymore, rather than just saying "out of stock."

So strange.

It's back up.  Though again out of stock.  They only lasted about 8 hours this time around.

It didn't take long for them to sell out again.  4.9 stars out of 135 reviews is pretty impressive.  

The one one star review is quite funny.  He blames the ball for losing him 40+ yards in distance.  He wants Costco to bring the Callaway balls back.

They don't even show them on the website as being sold out, it doesn't even show on the website at all.

I would suggest setting an alarm on your phone to log on the next release date. I did so didn't have a problem. Just wish I would have grabbed some more.

I see them no problem.  I am a little worried about one thing that seems to have changed.  The site now says "limit 5 per membership."  Perhaps they realize they can't keep up with demand from outside sources?

The 5 per member limit was there before they sold out the first time.  People are taking advantage of their limited availability and selling them at a premium on eBay.

I wouldn't be surprized if there is some price creep in the future......supply and demand

From what I've read (in this thread) it looks like Costco isn't greedy when it goes to their margins. They almost conduct their business like a "not-for-profit" company, except they set a (relatively low) margin and stick to it, across the board.

Just what I've read. I haven't verified any of that.

I think this is true, I bought the Callaway Hex Chrome balls for a while years ago. Pallets of them disappeared within a week or so, but the price was always fixed.

The one Kirkland Premium ball I found is pretty decent. I'll probably use it for a couple more rounds until I lose it or something. . .good ball, but I wouldn't say it's that much better or worse than a Pro-V1x, Project(a) or any other premium ball.

As for why it was not showing up on the site for a little while,

Looks like at one point they might have thought the vendor wasn't going to release any more.  From a post on another forum.

I sent Costco an email asking about the K Sig. Here's their response...

Thank you for contacting Costco.com. There are two kinds of out of stock that happen on our website, one where its completely out of stock and removed from our website, and cases like this. Where it states sold out on the item page, it means we are talking to the vendor to see how many more they will release to us. Unfortunately, the vendors do not let us know when they will be releasing more of these items. We tell our members to check back frequently, as our website is real time and inventory is updated frequently. We appreciate you being a Costco member and we appreciate your business.

Thank you,

I doubt if it's anything so esoteric as 'greedy'.  Simply put, they have a business model that they consider works for them and they stick to it.  I'd likely attribute this to a good focus on long term viability over short term gains rather than anything subjectively or socially arbitrary as a particular definition of greed.

AFAIK, it does work, at least every Costco I've been to has been packed.

      Strategy on Neshanic Valley Ridge #2

      Future Pro: Miles Russell Age 15

      By iacas ·

      And like Matt said, and I have hinted at… it's ONE ROUND. Because you have to get hot. Better players than him failed to get through. And… Peaked too soon, perhaps. He could also get injured, get surpassed, lose interest or lose his game… Again, if I trusted y'all to uphold the bet, and if the bet wasn't basically a 15-year proposition… I'd bet y'all. The odds are against him, and heavily so. So… he didn't qualify, and he's playing on a sponsor's exemption. Jordan Spieth was 16 years old when he tied for 16th in a PGA Tour event… and I realize that mentioning Jordan Spieth (who has obviously had a lot of success) seems to argue against my point, but Spieth is the exception and he did better at only a year older than this fella. The odds are strongly against him.

      He shot -5 with a bogey on the last hole. Those Monday Q events are seriously tough to get through. Lots of very very good players play in those, including normally a fair few tour players who've lost their cards, including past winners. It is a small sample size, but he also just broke one of Tiger's records (youngest ever to be ranked one in AJGA if memory serves). He's the best 15 year old in the world at the moment. He's also pretty small and skinny - if he grows and fills out a bit and gets stronger, he could be a serious force to be reckoned with. He may of course also go off the boil and struggle or his swing may not last his growth or something, so it's not like he's odds on to make it or anything like that. I think it will be interesting to see how he progresses and if (big if granted) he progresses well, then he will be quite the prospect.

      Strategy on Neshanic Valley Ridge #2

      By Ty_Webb ·

      At a basic level, you can take those strokes gained numbers and if you know what the baseline strokes to hole out is from each distance, you can figure out how many strokes on average you will take to hole out from any given spot on the golf course. Then you can take that shot zone thing from shotscope and put it down there and see what the average is for each club and each target you choose. That's not exactly trivial to do though even with a computer, so the strategy guides (like LSW) use rules of thumb to make those decisions easier for you to make on the fly. Most of the time you'll come up with the optimal strategy and on the odd occasion when you don't, the strategy you come up with will be pretty darn close to optimal. If you're anything like me, then you'll probably wind up being a little too conservative with both club choice and target. Fear of penalty strokes can make you play suboptimally. Basically it's a bad idea to base your strategy on a shot that might pop up less than 1 in 20 times. If you happen to hit that shot, then today just isn't your day, but the 19 times you don't, you'll be in that much better of a spot.

      That sounds like a small sample size issue. What if the PGA tour event he was trying to get into just happened to fit his game perfectly? Also, he could just be playing hot right now. I’ll put this in the wait-and-see category.
