Did you get fully fitted Gaz

Not really, no.

I hit the G, M1, M2 and XR16 against my own, all with stock stiff shafts.

Wanted the M2 driver to be best but the 10.5° M1 with the weight forward went significantly better than all the others.

When I placed the order there were loads of different shafts all at no upcharge and I picked the PX because I've liked every PX shaft I've ever tried and reviews of this one on the web are very good.

The M1 3 wood was better than the others but only about the same as my own, but I ordered it anyway partly because the PX shaft might make it better for me, and partly because for £29 and a putter I'll probably not want to use again it seems like a no brainer.

That surprises me mate that your relying a tad on maybe's especially as these areas are your strengths.

Not having a dig you know your game more than me just that I thought you would definitely be the type that would get fully fitted.

I'd assumed they'd have at least have a selection of shafts to try, but the only "fitting" was trying different loft heads and messing with the weight.

It was all using flight scope though and the numbers were decent.

Because of the double trade in offer I'm just looking at it as a shot to nothing because I'm getting rid of unused clubs.

Same in Gateshead, I thought it was odd how 95% of the clubs had regular shafts.

Considering trading in my sons 710 cb titleist irons.
The pga valuation site shows 3 different rates. Does anyone know which one is used or is based on the condition of said irons?

I have just traded in my g20 driver which I bought 4 months ago second hand from them for £50 traded in for £85 😁 Happy days. They must have pretty good margins on their stuff to offer this deal, I got a new Cleveland 54 wedge for £99 so only 14 quid cash

itll be neither, that's the esitimated resale option. You need to click on the trade tab.

Price appears to be £280 if they used the right exchange rates. I would suggest you'll get approx £210.

Thanks for that. I used the $210 divided by 1.5 then doubled that and arrived at £280 as well.
If he can get around the £210 he is considering going for the RSi 1 irons.

I think the exhacnge rate is the bit where confusion can come in.

Obviosuy the make make a profit on it. Most people doing ok seem to be getting about 0.67 which is only slightly out. But others, myself included have been offered as low as .51 which makes a mockery of the offer.

I was offered £200 (subject to condition) on my D200 irons. Not a bad price at all, but the trade in value on the PGA site is $210 and resale $396, so not really double.

I have little confidence in their values. Earlier in the year they were offering 50% extra to trade in against another set of irons. With the enhanced value they only offered £100 for the D200s.

When it came down to it I couldn't find anything that I wanted so decided not to trade in.

I think you were looking on wrong part of the site. Need to actually use the lft tab for trade, not trade in. That has the value AG work with. They use that value as it is the standard used clubs price, no ratings for condition.

As per:

http://valueguide.pga.com/trade-in/

Not the research tab
