As some of you may remember I posted a set of Mizuno MX19's for sale not so long ago. I had the clubs a year and loved them in the shop but it took me a bit longer to get used to them on the course. Fact is they never really bedded in well. So decision was made to flog them and try another set of 'easy hit' Irons.
I returned to Nevada Bobs in Belfast and bought a set of Taylor made Burner Irons - which may I add are fantastic.
MX19's went on ebay and sold no problem for a bargin £188. Sale was completed Irons packaged and posted. A week later the buyer emailed me to ask for £100 back as they Irons where not as described - Naturally I thought he was a chancer and told him they where a standard set of MX19's. On his reply he told me that he had taken them to his pro and the grips where Golf Pride Mid size (not std), the Shafts where +1" and the shafts where stiff.
Naturally I thought it was a bit strange but I know the grips where defiantly mid size so I gave a full refund and paid for the shipping.
When the Irons returned I asked my pro to check them and sure enough he was right they where different grips, +1" and stiff- NEVADA BOBS BELFAST had sold me a set of irons that where totally useless to me a beginner. They where someone’s custom set and they had palmed them off to me possibly by mistake possibly hoping I would not notice.
I took the Irons back to Nevada bobs the manager simply told me I had 3 options they would sell the Irons for me but would only get about £130 for them, or I could have up to £150 off another set of Irons depending on the value of my new purchase the third option was to get out and don’t bother him again. Great customer service.
I felt I had no option but to leave the Irons in the shop - a few weeks later they phoned and asked me if I would accept £130 for them, I simply said NO. Luckily enough I sold them myself to a mates mate, who they suit well - I got £150 for them but I am still p155ed off with Nevada bobs as they simply did not really care, and I am out £45 for postage. I have spent well over £1k there in 12 months and I will NEVER spend another penny as long as I play the game.
