Was I ripped of

[obsessedgolfer]

I was on the range today I was just hitting a bunch of 3 woods for the heck of it and i just fell in love with a titliest 904f 3 wood, it was amazing i just loved the feel of ball jumping of the club face. The guy in the proshop was nice enough to give me an even trade for my hibore 3 wood, both clubs were ln like new condition. I know that i thought it was a fair trade what do you guys think was I ripped of.

Did you get a better club, for you, out of the deal?

There's the answer.

I can't possibly fathom what anyone else might have to add to this.

Like Iacas says, if you hit it better, you got the better end of the deal! lol.

If you think the feel is better and that it will help you out, then by all means not ripped off.

Time will tell. Right now, if you're hitting the ball better and it feels better, and you feel better about the whole experience, then you haven't gotten ripped off.

I trust the new confidence will elevate your game!

As the guys before me said, time will tell. Plus you only tried it out on the range the true test is on the fairway.

I ment was i ripped off in the value of the club aspect.but thanks for all the great replies and advice

[TigerCurtis333]

Value of the club is tricky. There's only two things that come into consideration.

1. Both clubs are very nice 3 woods.
2. So, because of the similarity in #1, if you hit the Titleist better, you made the better end of the deal.

The ONLY time (and it may not even matter still) that you could get ripped off even if you hit the second club better, is if you trade a high-end club for a knockoff or a very low end club. Even then, if you're hitting the second one better oh well. But in your case, both clubs are nice so whichever one you hit better has more value - for you.

Being naturally cynical, here's my thoughts.

You are a good customer and the shop wanted to keep you happy, so if there was a difference they decided to "eat it."

Both clubs have about an equal resale value, so the shop decided it was an acceptable deal (to keep a customer happy and coming back).

The club you chose does not move as fast as the club you traded in.

Someone once told me you never get a good deal, just a price you are happy with. Sounds like you got a better club for your play at a "price" you are happy with.

Enjoy it! Now raise your right hand and swear that you will never wish you had that club back.

You are 100 percent correct I take lessons at the driving range were the proshop is and since he did the club swap I am seriousliy considering buying a scotty cameron from him rather than the huge sports retailer that i usally buy my clubs from.

I agree, if the club works better for you and you feel more confident then you did NOT get ripped off.
