So just went down to the one in Belfast. Traded in MP57s for £160. Wanted to complete my Ping G set with U and SW but wouldn't let me do it as its 1 for 2.

But they would let me get a driver, and can return the driver for voucher and get them that way.
Cant do both transactions same day apparently so be back down tomorrow to order the wedges.

They said that they were allowing people to trade in 5 items and use the credit for anything instore before Christmas but it was pure carnage so cant see it happening again. People were rocking up with all sorts of crap and walking out with a motokaddy.....

Is this the same with every store? If I wanted to trade some old clubs in for a new bag would I have to do it this way?

I think you will be very lucky if you find a store to trade in clubs for a bag, promotion terms are for trading in against new clubs only, although I think a very small number of stores have been letting you trade in for other things.

I was the one that suggested the possibility to them of getting something else and returning it to get what I wanted.
They said it would be okay but because they watch these trades like a hawk I would need to do the return on a different day.
Hopefully the return goes okay as im not sure ill get much use from the right handed driver in my car considering im a leftie....

I traded in my cevland 48 wedge there for a titleist tmb 4 iron before Xmas no issues at all even got 50 quid for it. Which is what I paid for it lol

Yet another bit of inconsistency! I'd say it is worth a go trying to trade a single wedge in as they seem to make up their own rules

But their website states:


  • Any club, excluding single wedges, can be traded in against any new clubs product. Trade in and purchased items do not have to be the same. For example you could trade in a driver and purchase some irons.

Re -- wedges

Ive spoken to a manager in 1 of my local stores
Told me they've stopped taking wedges in
After all, the only time most want rid of wedges, is when the grooves are no good
So resale is poor

No idea if this is going, or has, gone nationwide??

But makes sense

I think they were probabaly using that rule to stop people swapping in pw or saw which come in with sets. The price they give for a sm5/6 is one that I expect they could get back in resale.

A second hand SM5 can't be worth £46, more like £30, get a brand new SM5 for £50
