It gets better.
Not only did I get an M1 driver and 3 wood for not a lot of money and some old clubs, but thanks to their 30 day satisfaction guarantee I've used them for 3 weeks, decided they weren't for me, and swapped them (all bar £20 because one of them was dearer) for a brand new 917 driver and 3 wood.
I really don't know how they can do it, but I'm glad they do.

Yeah but golf depot were selling the r15 new for 99 quit there. Local golf shop had them at 130 as I was thinking of buying one but wasn't my spec in store.
So 100 a very good price I think.

Yeah guy in store told me about this. But I said to him but what if I want to trade it next. He said sure you can get a exchanged for full value..
Then I had to confess to him that I had did my homework and only took the driver as it was worth more in trade in than what I paid in the price match. Lucky enough he wasn't in when I called around the following week. Told them I couldn't get on with it.
Think I hit maybe 5 balls with it. Be a nice driver for someone sitting there in the used rank and brand new just no wrapper. I wonder what they are selling it for.
(And just for those that don't know I did that to make money so that I get the driver I wanted cheaper) tho it did bang fire a little as the pga value dropped a little during that week. But another price match helped hehe

Will be going in for a driver wednesday. What are they like for fittings? With the clubs i'm exchanging, it could be any of the top ones. So they wont need to be pushy for an expensive sale. Are they happy to let you try out a few shafts from differing clubs? If they fit the adapters of course..

What I did was take the drivers I was interested in getting to the fitting hit x amount with each but in the middle I tested my own driver. So say I hit maybe 10 drives with a ping and 10 with a Cally I then hit 5 with my own.
So that way there was no way they could be fixing it. Not that they would have
and lol and if there machine was reading big numbers for one it would have been the same for my driver aswell.Also the guy I had (maybe I was lucky) sort of let me work away, maybe he didn't care but it's what I wanted. I checked the numbers myself hit what I wanted. As for shafts they didn't have a great deal of aftermarket ones.. but tbh I didn't push that to much was happy getting about 20 yards on my old driver. Was well worth it for me.

Fair point, but not universal. A local pro shop near me belongs to a buying group that means they can actually offer a price match and compete against AG prices/offers. I have just switched irons and paid the same price as at AG and online retailers, plus got personal service and a fitting I trusted more than from an AG sales person.

Wasnt after any special shafts tbh. Just that looking online it appears that my local have the shafts I think will suit me better with the 917d2 model and I'm after the d3....

If I had paid £100 a year ago would be good price I was just giving examples of what clubs hold their value best
Whats your best AG double trade deal?,mate of mine bought a set of gc Titleist 690mb's on gumtree with the 3 missing for £30 knocked down from £50 cos of the missing 3 which they came with.He was offered £145 for them against a 915 3 wood which was £149.So he got a brand new 915 3 wood with headcover & tool for.............£34 oo:
Bearing in mind also that the 915 3 wood had just been reduced to £149 because of the latest 917.

I'd say 3 of my best are
Bought set of Titleist 775 cb for £40, traded back in at £160
Got them to price match on a new ping G25 driver at £149 and got a new ping G25 driver, ( £40 ) for no extra cost
MP63 irons 3-p bought for £90.
Traded back in at £280
Got myself a brand new Scotty Cameron M2 putter, no extra to pay, £90 for a new Scotty
Bought set of Titleist 714 cb for only £140
Traded them back in at £386, then added £13 and got a new Titleist 917 D2 driver
That's right, £153 for a new 917 driver

So you spent £270 and got £830 worth of goods
I cant understand what AG are doing here so you can buy a new Titleist 917 driver for £153 that will have a secondhand value of £300-320
,ive worked for AG and know for a fact theres very low profit on Titleist gear.

Took my 915 D2, they offered £170.00, went and got the exact same one and had it priced matched to £175.00, so Brand new 915 D2 for a Fiver:whoo:
Just collected my 917 driver for the princely price of £16.
Only pronlem is that hat I didn't hit it as well as the 915 I've just sold!

Went 915 for 915, then traded a set of irons plus cash for 917.
Much easier to sell a brand new 915 than a 2 yr old one😃
