Club swap

I don't think there is anything much he can do if the op doesn't want to return them.
 
Looked up Taffy78's profile. It says "Taffy78's hasn't made any friends yet" . What a surprise! Can't believe anyone would think what he's done was right. Small Claims Court is the answer. You can do it online, I think.

Morning Bill, what a small world it is eh, please let me explain.

Can you remember when me and my homies turned up in Northumberland where your hospitality will never be exceeded. Well if you remember of of my Homies was Kevin ( Baghead). He was the bandit that took brass on Tyneside. Anyway his course etiquette is second to none, he is a honest family man. He is salt of the earth. The kind of guy you would want as a regular PP. He is my playin PP every Tuesday and Thursday. He likes listening to my boring stories twice a week. His extended family are of the same ilk. Kevin has a nephew who I have played with at Breadsall Priory, he is a delightful young man. His name is Phillip. Unfortunately He is the poor sod who has been "shafted" with these fake Pings.

What I cannot get my head around now is the OP. I think he comes across as a cheese slice short of a picnic.
1, his wife bought these clubs, really. Would you let your wife go out and buy 3 X clubs. There's something about that don't sit right.
2, He has come on here, asking for advice and not listened to what he has been told. What type of friends does have.


oh ah welcome to the forum Phillip say heyup to Les for me when you see him. All the best Andy aka Tashyboy

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

This. His 'finders keepers' attitude certainly isn't on. They need to go about proving 100% whether they are fake or genuine, and if fake then he really needs to swap back, and then take it up with the place where his wife bought them. If they're still contactable and haven't done a bunk.
 
OK devil's advocate here.........

The guy claiming the Pings are fakes is a club trader. What if he has swapped out these clubs with another set and is trying to offload them to an innocent party?

Just saying.

I think this tells you all you need to know about the OP and his character.
I know which one I'd believe.

I wondered at the name, thought it may have been a relative of Kev's. I would seriously recommend investigating taking the guy to the Small Claims Court, which I'm sure you can do online. At least give him a CCJ & wreck his credit rating.
 
Ok, only just registered to this forum but will throw me view in.
Unfortunately definitely fakes. Difficult to see in a photo but after careful examination it is easy to see to any half decent golfer. I Have come across these clubs before when a member approached me saying he couldn't hit it. Source eBay. Areas to look for, weight in base is metal not rubber/plastic feel. Shaft is a darker blue, graphics printed on the shaft slightly blurred. Shaft very whippy. Grip is a poor quality copy. Take the shaft out and the adapter differs and most of all the serial number is not legitimate. Hope you get this sorted Phil as unfair on you.
 
Ok I'll be the next cynic

I wonder how many people have now clicked on the link to the person's webpage selling clubs ?

I can't understand why the OP started the thread when clearly the right thing is to take the clubs back and go back to where his wife got them from

Maybe it's just me but it all seems a bit "staged" ?

Interesting comments on this thread. The OP has cleared off, some pics have been posted, accusations all over the place.

As far as I am aware, the link above is to library pictures not the ACTUAL clubs that have been swapped, please correct me if I am wrong? If they are the actual clubs then I agree they are fakes and the OP should do the honourable thing and get rid of his wife :D

Or this could just be an elaborate scam to get some free publicity, tbh I'm surprised the mods haven't closed this thread down as it publicly names individuals in a bad light.

I did find it quite the coincidence that the affected party showed here the very next day after the topic was posted. How did he know the topic was here?
