Nothing, I have bought from there, just wouldn't get fitted there and think people reckon they are getting good value on trade ins when maybe they arent. As I said I have a friend who works there and gives me info. My cousin is a golf pro in essex now he hates AG.

PS I have also posted elsewhere for you now

Anyone tried trading clubs in to see how the new trade in deal compares to the double value offer?

What new trade in deal?

I know the old one has stopped at my local AG some 3 weeks ago I think, but is there another one now that's replaced it?

Can you trade in clubs against other goods as I want to shift my driver as I'm ordering an epic sub zero from left handed golf

So they've realised that they can't shift these sets based on the double value trade in price so are taking a 20% hit to try and move them.....
I'm not sure 20% off will shift some of them

not when my local told me they would sell at cost plus £1

Yes they have started doing this,I was told at my local AG that as long as theres £1 profit they will do the deal.See a set of clubs you like at AG,check on the PGA price guide to see what they bought them in for and add £1 ;).

I've used this 'deal' once and had to try and keep a straight face as the callow faced youth in my local store told me my near pristine Callawy XR driver was only worth £50 but they'd double to £100.

I was humbled by how they were prepared to rob themselves just for me.

In my experience the 'deal' is about as genuine as matey boy in the big coat knocking over windows and bellowing "I say, you buy one you get one free!"

Edit

It's handy for getting rid of older unwanted gear but the original offer is nonsense, although I'd concede the doubled figure is acceptable.
