Have already done that 2-3 times
When early into the deal
2 shops ( locally ) reduced their trade ins to what they thought were realistic resale figures
Then the big guys slapped their hands

yeah, that's what I thought, however he rung the Gosforth store this morning and they told him he couldn't. He has since rung the Metro Centre store and they told him to bring them in, so hopefully he will be ok.
Only issue I can see is that the set of irons aren't listed on the PGA value site - he's got these ones

I am not sure what happens if it is not on the site. I don't think that they take them. But there is no harm in trying

They can if they wish
As I know of an instance where somebody traded in a set of Orka's
Can't give a double value, as not on the PGA value guide site, but obviously a figure was offered, by staff member at AG that knew about golf clubs and not just those they stock
The set in question above, (Wilson) I'd be surprised if was offered more than £30

Fair enough, I just overheard a conversation when in store of someone's clubs which wern't on the list and they wouldn't offer a value. Not sure what the clubs were though so could have been dunlops haha

I'm not saying they defenitely will mate, just I know they have
As can be clearly seen throughout this thread, there are huge differences and inconsistencies from shop to shop, area to area, how this deal is processed , in many different ways

I traded a set of old irons (mp57s) in for a driver (Xhot) earlier in the week. And was back in today and traded in my actual driver (G25) and returned the one I got earlier in the week and walked out with a Ping G driver.
So they say you cant trade 2 for 1. But like everything there is always a workaround.

Can anyone confirm if AG help with any alterations to sets they sell?
I traded in my S55 irons and was offered more than I thought I would get and ordered a set of Ping I's. Ping ceased making the I's and they made me up a set of I blades instead. All good as the I's were £449 (reduced as they were being replaced by the I200's) and the blades £799. AG are not asking me for any more cash.
However, before the order I was thinking about taking 1/2 inch off of the shafts. I think standard length is too long for me. Also, I had an extra layer of tape added and feel that the grips are still too thin. OK, I am a fat handed shorty!
Has anyone subsequently requested any alterations? How did you get on?
Cheers

Worse case, the iblade are showing as having a value of 550usd which equates to £720.
Take me your set in for exchange and then get AG to price match clubhouse golf who have them for 699. Get the set made to your spec and job done.

I chopped in my set of Ping i e1's 12 days ago for a new set of Ping i e1's. They phoned Ping to check they were still taking custom orders and they were so ordered my set the next day. The set i had was 5 - PW and the £449 sale set was 4 - PW but got them to move the set to 5 - UW and they were happy to do that for me. They took 4 days to arrive from Ping. Top service and just shot a PB round my home course with them, Bonus.

Cheers - interesting as my order went in 12 days ago too! And they send I blades. I have tried them in a net and they are pretty good so not I am not so sure about more alterations. What worried me was that the more recent ping offerings appear to have an extra 1/2 inch on the shaft. For someone that has flat lies anyway, and is a shorty, I could end up flatter than gold dot!
Thank to you all for offering your thoughts.:thup:

You bought irons because they felt good in a net?!. I blade are tough to use in the real world. Shaft length is irrelevant if the lie is correct. Only need shorter if your ball striking is poor.

Just had the mate pick up my sm6s on sat for me (as it's a 160mile round trip for me) and he's a delivery driver and finishes near the store on a Saturday. Tho he had to wait a hour for them to open but thankfully he did it for me.
But anyway turns out the only think they got right was the fact it was a vokey. Wrong shaft, wrong lie, wrong grip and wrong grind.
So now I have to drive up there to give them back for them to re order them. But we all know that's a waste of time as the custom orders have now been stopped.
What's my options at this stage. Flipping ripping here ordered these on boxing day you think they have been checked before giving them out.

Do you think they came from Titleist or just AG stock?
I ask this cos it has been mentioned on this forum in a thread that Titleist are in dispute with AG over the double deal trade in and may not supply them.

As far as I know nobody knows what the dispute is between titleist and American golf. I ordered wedges a few weeks ago and found out about the issue, according to the shop I ordered them in I should receive them this week as allegedly the dispute has been resolved.
If I go for a custom fit outwith American golf for a set of Mizuno irons will they order in the spec I ask for on this double trade in deal?
