Club swap

This situation can only be resolved through a conversation with your wife......that way you can determine whether the clubs are fake or not depending where and how much she paid for the clubs.
 
Agree with comments here-if they are fake then I think you meed to swap them back, and try to peruse the original seller. However, I would be cautious and would want to know-
How does he know they are fake?
How can he be so certain?
Where did your wife get them from?

If it turns out she bought them from a pro shop or a reputable golf store (ag etc) then I'd be very surprised if they were fake. I agree that if you are swapping back you need to ensure that you are getting your own original clubs back-not a different set he is clearing out and keeping your original set to flog...
 
I'm certainly in the majority - as if you need another voice on this. There only EVER was one thing to do here. What happened to you may suck and dealing with this is for another day and between you and the original seller. It has nothing to do with this guy now. Give him his clubs back and deal with your own issue with yours.

Ignorance is no defense. Fake is fake and if proven the outcome of a court case is a no brainer.
 
You need to find out where your wife bought them, if there is any chance they are fake you have to take them back, he may be trying it on of course so do a bit of digging first.
 
This is difficult issue. I for one wouldn't happy with fake clubs been swapped. Personally Ping G30's are more valuable than the Covert 2.0s as they are a younger version. (Although I had the 2.0s went from 13 to 9 handicap awesome club).

Every PING club has a serial number on the neck of iron above or below the dot - ask him to send the serial numbers and contact PING direct to double check these are indeed fake or real. Also what is his source that they are fake.

Unfortunately if they are indeed fake - I believe your only option is to re-swap your clubs as this is not fair on either party and pursue the person your wife bought them from.

Just goes to show for that you should always buy clubs from a registered retailer (shop or online) or club professional.
 
Can't help feeling you are on the wrong forum - you need a legal or consumer Forum not a golf one.

The first response to the thread is the correct one.

This is what I was thinking. The guy contacts you and says 'these are fake' and you believe him straight away? Sounds like you must have had your suspicions anyway... If he does have the proof though you definitely need to swap back and have a word with the people who sold them to you/your wife in the first place.
 
Was reading about this or a case very similar on a Facebook selling page earlier...
If your dealing with a chap called Phillip your being named and shamed all over Facebook buddy picture and all sorts. People want you linched for not being willing to swap back
 
I am the one he has sent the fakes to. He won't swap back even after these 4 pages of unbiased comments. I am a sole trader trying to run a small golf sales business from home and I stock 2 shops locally. My golfing friends on Facebook are outraged but ihave no hard feelings for Gafyn Farmer if he just returns my clubs. It's not complicated. If I can figure out how to post a photo I will. In the mean time read these links.

I think the most telling point is the OP disappeared as soon as he realised he wasn't going to get the answer he wanted as no one else agreed with him.

I think he is just busy divorcing his wife for buying him fake Pongs :o
 
There seems to be a couple of sensible routes.

Ask the wife where she bought them. If it's AG or a reputable online store chances of them being fake are slim.

If the buyer is that convinced they are snide, get him to email Ping with the serial number(s) on the hosel and let them make the decision. If they say they are fake then you do need to swap them back
