Check they are looking at the trade in tab and not the research tab on the PGA site, Trade in only has one figure, research has 3 (low, mid and high)
My local AG only uses the trade in tab.

For old clubs the research tab works out better....$134 at low, $168 medium....On the trade in tab there worth $90!

That's for a set of Old Cobra AMP irons....

Now I am baffled to which tab to use as was looking to trade in for a 5 wood.

When trading in iron sets, has anyone traded in a set without a PW?

I have two sets of irons that I would like to trade in and both are 3-9 however the pga.com website will not give a value as it states that there needs to be a PW.

A friend of mine has a Callaway Razr Hawk driver. Hardly used as it's a 9 deg stiff shaft he won and it's not suitable for him.
He got offered the magnificent value of £40 (as the double value) at American Golf in Giffnock.

Sounds about right. Doesn't matter if like new or slight sky marked the price is the same. Golf bidder have two 49&59 quid. So he be lucky to get 30 quid off them

The research tab is if a Seller is looking to sell on or you selling privately, AG use the trade in.

Think I got over charged for a set of irons ... website says £449 and they charged me £479. Is there a difference between custom orders ?

No ended up with the callaway XR OS not sure now though - rest of my game is fine can put the driver where I aim. But my iron play is shocking.

Yep, overcharged you then
Get straight back tomorrow and show them the web price
I'm sure they will be more than happy to "price-match" themselves......;)

Can someone just clarify for me before I go down to AG tomorrow, I don't want to look dafter than I already am!

My TM RSi TP's show in the PGA.com value as $253.75 x 1.5 = £380.62, is that it or do I 'double that' to £761.25?

I'd get the exchange rate right first......

Fish, it's double the usd and then multiple by 0.67 (or divide by 1.5).

So, 253.75 x 2 = 507.5
507.5 x0.67 (divide 1.5) = 338.

So the double up is the PGA.com value so, $253.75 x 2 = $507.50 then the exchange rate they use of 1.5 = £338.33

What you going for Fish?

I couldn't believe giw many pros used the m2 at British Masters. What is so special about them?

Could you be sure its an M2 not an M1? anyone who plays taylormade on tour its either one or the other.. prob down to preference only

most pros prob dont care about the full adjustability more to go wrong

Just divide by 0.75 the price on pga value its that easy

I don't understand why all the maths lol



But in speaking about extra maths a few of you might have seen I tested out a g30 ls tec (used)

Basically offered me it for 60 with my g20. I walked away due to condition of the g 30.

Boy is my face red now. The penny has dropped.

So if I took the deal I be sitting with g 30 now. But what if I traded it again

Ah lol I have a driver worth 176 now in trade in terms

So a new G driver is worth 299 take off the trade in g 30 works out at 123

Add the 60 that I added at the start to make the first switch I could have been sitting here now with a new ping G driver for 183quid

F@@k and double f@@k

Thought I'd get in on the action seeing as I've had a couple of drivers sitting in the shed for a year......

Valued my 910D2 at 80 quid, and my 913D2 at 100 quid, very slightly under the pga value numbers, but not by enough to argue. Was looking for a lob wedge and a putter.

Ended up swapping the 913 for a new Cleveland RTX 60degree wedge, cost me nothing. Ended up keeping the 910 as I couldn't find a putter I fancied.

Interestingly the range of putters was quite limited, a few budget ones and a few big-ticket options, bit not a lot in the middle range. I've had a look online and theres a Ping Karsten Anser 2 that I quite like the look of for 119 (although its 109 on Snainton so will be requesting a price match, which will cost me about 30 quid on top of the trade in.
