Kirkland Signature Adjustable Driver by Costco By Ed Travis Giant warehouse retailer Costco, has been in the golf retail business for some time and is now offering a low-price driver under the Kirkland Signature brand. It has multi-material construction and an adjustable hosel. When you visit Costco, in addition to buying groceries, televisions, lawn furniture, jewelry and just about anything else you might need, you can put a carbon-titanium-headed, graphite-shafted driver in your cart. In the past, Costco has been very successful with their lineup of golf gloves and balls, plus they recently added a set of game-improvement irons to their lineup. They also offer package sets from Nancy Lopez Golf and Callaway. The Kirkland Signature Adjustable driver was just recently announced but is already sold out. The store I visited didn’t know when they would receive new stock. The standard driver loft is 10.5° but adjusts one degree down to 9.5° and one degree up to 11.5°. Adjustments can be made to result in a a 10.5° draw setting for all you slicers out there. The crown is constructed with a carbon fiber composite, plus the face is made with variable thickness of titanium, for those off-center hits. Titanium is also used in the sole. A weight screw in the rear of the club helps to adjust the weight balance. Golfers will want to know if the Kirkl and Signature is a solid value. I am not able to answer that question definitively because we have not had the opportunity to try it. Even with their low pricing, it is still prudent to “drive before you buy,” although Costco does have a good return policy.
