I was playing a Ping I3 oversize 3-pw with Ping stiff shafts set that I got from a friend. Today I traded them plus $600 for a new set of Ap2´s with project x 5.5 shafts .
On top of that I gave a set of Callaways x-16, which belonged to my father but he never used, and $200 for a used set of Mizuno Mp-60 with x-100 shafts in very good shape.

What do you think, was it ok?? Did I got robbed???

I'd say that you spent too much money for those AP2's. Although, they are amazing clubs. I'd say that you got the better of the deal with the MP-60s.

I agree. Too much $$ for the AP2's, but you got the better end of the MP-60s.

It's hard to judge without knowing what kind of shape your trade-ins were in. Without seeing them I would say that you overpaid but how much depends on the market for your trades.

I say don't ask questions like this after. You will never be happy with the answer. Love the new clubs and it's a great deal. If you don't you can get about $700 for them. I hope you love them

I think you did fine on the trade. I'm seeing all of the online retailers selling the AP2 for $999. The trade in value for I3 O-size is about $140. Basically you got the AP2s for $740, 25% off the going price , and you didn't have to deal with selling your old clubs.

Also, trade in on the X16s is $130ish and suggested retail for MP60s is $380ish, so another good deal.

I'm using valueguide.pga.com for these values, which is kind of suspect because of the Ebay affiliation but it seems to be what people use for their pricing.

Okay deal for the AP2, but a steal for the MP-60 (but you might want to re-shaft though). Plus, MP-60 is sweeter in looks and feel.

What's in the bag:
Driver: r7 SuperQuad 10.5° ~ UST Proforce V2 65g Regular
Wood: 906F4 18.5° ~ Aldila VS Proto 80g Stiff

Thanks for the replies, although let me say that a set of new Ap2's in Argentina retails for $1100-$1200.
The pre-owned clubs market here is huge and the prices are way higher than in the US, that's why they gave me such good money for my 2 used sets.
I'm 100% satisfied with what I did. I traded a set I didn't use and one I didn't like so much for 2 sets I adore.
I even got a Vokey as a gift from the store

      So Does Anyone Know Who This Pat Simmons Is?

      By Haxo Angmark ·

      after some years experimenting around, I've settled on a mixed bag of mostly Pat Simmons vintage Tiger Sharks (the ones with the blue enamal on back of the clubheads): 3 thru 9 iron, + 3 wedges (PW, sand, chipper). Those super heavy clubheads really help me get my swing down and thru the ball. Also I carry an old Taylor 18-degree rescue club, 17-degree and 14 degree ImagineGolf metalwoods, and the famous Pat Simmons "alien" 1-iron. Finally a real brick-on-a-stick, the big-headed Bettinardi Ben Hogan model putter which is excellent for taking the break out of short putts and getting the ball hole high on long ones. Wait....is that 15 clubs? Oh well....

      Struggling With Fat Shots and Dont Know Why

      By Haxo Angmark ·

      this topic brought to mind one my favorite golf-spectator memories. Back when, living in Santa Barbara CA, parked in my yellow cab just behind the 10th tee  (c. 380 yard par 4) at SB Muni golf course while eating lunch. A twosome comes by, and first up is this fat little mexican guy who takes a kinda squirelly practice swing, then addresses the ball and bashes a long, high, perfectly straight drive up to w/in about 5 yards of the green. Other guy is dressed to the 9's, pulls out what looks like a $300 driver....and hits a maybe 150-yard pop fly. Slams clubhead to the ground and yells, "it's fat! It's fat! Everything is fat today!!"  And that's how I learned what a "fat" shot is.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By billchao ·

      It may not be surprising that in the previous 7,064 posts, this particular point has been discussed. To which I will counter: If we're talking about results, why only the majors? Unless you know something that I don't, neither of us are in any position to judge whether Woods or Nicklaus lived their overall life better, not that such a thing is even objectively measurable, nor is it relevant to the discussion.
