So I just got a call from dicks sporting goods, telling me my club has been there for me to pick up for awhile and if I want it to come get it. They were like "Im not sure if you returned it to us but its just sitting here and if you want it come get it" . lol I actually returned the club to them because the wrong shaft was on it (its a mizuno mp-t 11). Now Im not going to go pick it up or anything, but what would you guys do. Maybe I should call them and be like yea it had the wrong shaft, could I come get it anyway?, lol

Call them back and tell them I returned the club. This seems easy.

yea maybe I should be like, yea they put the wrong shaft on it but could I come get it anyway. You never know. You didnt hear the message, he made it sound like it was just sitting in the back and he didnt really care what happened with it. he was like "I dont really care what happens with it, but if you want it come get it" . I was like what , lol

I'm really confused on what the problem is here. If you got you're money back for the return and they are still offering it to you, take it. If you didn't get your money back yet and it has the wrong shaft, get your money back and order one with the right shaft. This seems easy.

yea its the first situation. I got my money back for it a month ago and they are calling me because its just sitting there asking me if I want it to come get it. I mean I dont know what they are going to do with a special order after such a long time. They dont sell mizuno products

Tell them that it belongs to them, as they've returned your money to you.

More clearly...

It doesn't, like, seem like ethical to take something that like, you didn't pay for. lol

I'd go pick it up and sell it :) Spend the cash on a range membership or something golf related :)

I would let them know what happened. Theft by deception is theft nonetheless.

They said they don't care what happens to it. Obviously, they don't care too much about their finances if they can't even keep track of who returned an item or not.

I wasnt going to go and deceive them by any means. i was just curious as if they were just going to give it to me because it was a special order.

If you owned a golf shop, would you want your customers thinking this way about you or your employees? Just because a kid making $8/hr doesn't care doesn't mean it won't hurt the store.

Obviously, it's not the "right" thing to do, but they are offering it to you.

this is dicks sporting goods, a mutli million dollar nationwide franchise, not a little golf shop niche on the corner. None the less you are right about taking it without telling them you returned it. Now if they want to just give it to me because they nothing better for it, I'l take it without any guilt

And if the kid gives it away without accounting for sale of it, he'll likely be fired. It's his own damn fault. But now that I think about it, I care more about the kid than the golf store. I wouldn't want him getting fired for being a moron, although he would deserve it.

Have you been honest with the shop? Do they know you returned it? Did you specifically tell them that it's their property and not yours?

Sounds like an employee has made a mistake, and you should let him know. As said above, stealing is stealing... this smells a lot like theft by deceit.

The reason why I made the thread is because 1. the kid on the phone basically sounded like he wanted to give it to me 2. its a special order; dicks doesnt sell mizuno and Im sure they cant send back a club months down the line for money back

Have you been honest with the shop? Do they know you returned it? Did you specifically tell them that it's their property and not yours?

How is it theft by deceit if I tell them I returned it but they give it to me anyway ?

      Are you a Better Golfer than a Year Ago?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Never practiced golf when I was young and the only lesson ever taken was a driver lesson. I feel like I'm improving every year. However, the numbers don't support my feeling about improving. I usually drop to 12-13 during the summer while playing the familiar courses around home and then go on golf trips in the fall to new courses and increase to end the year between 15-17. Been a similar story for a number of years now but hey, it's the best thing there is in life so not too bothered but reaching 9.9 is the objective every year. Maybe a few lessons and practice could help me achieve it since I pretty much have no idea what I'm doing, just playing and never practice.

      Are You "Loyal" to One Golf Ball?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am semi-loyal. Usually buy four dozen of one ball and only play that until out and then determine whether to continue or try another one. Since starting my semi-loyal path to success, I've been playing the below, not in order: ProV1 ProV1x ProV1x left dash AVX Bridgestone BXS Srixon Z-star XV I am not sure if it has helped anything, but it gives a bit of confidence knowing that it at least is not the ball (while using the same one) that gives different results so one thing less to mind about I guess. On the level that I am, not sure whether it makes much difference but will continue since I have to play something so might as well go with the same ball for a number of rounds. Edit: favorite is probably the BXS followed by ProV1/Srixon Z-star XV. Haven't got any numbers to back it up but just by feel.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Will not do it by myself, going to the pro shop I usually use after Cristmas for input and actually doing the changes, if any, but wanted to get some thoughts on whether this was worthwhile out of curiosity.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      In terms of ball striking, not really. Ball striking being how good you are at hitting the center of the clubface with the swing path you want and the loft you want to present at impact.  In terms of getting better launch conditions for the current swing you have, it is debatable.  It depends on how you swing and what your current launch conditions are at. These are fine tuning mechanisms not significant changes. They might not even be the correct fine tuning you need. I would go spend the $100 to $150 dollars in getting a club fitting over potentially wasting money on changes that ChatGPT gave you.  New grips are important. Yes, it can affect swing weight, but it is personal preference. Swing weight is just one component.  Overall weight effects the feel. The type of golf shaft effects the feel of the club in the swing. Swing weight effects the feel. You can add so much extra weight to get the swing weight correct and it will feel completely different because the total weight went up. Imagine swinging a 5lb stick versus a 15lb stick. They could be balanced the same (swing weight), but one will take substantially more effort to move.  I would almost say swing weight is an old school way of fitting clubs. Now, with launch monitors, you could just fit the golfer. You could have two golfers with the same swing speed that want completely different swing weight. It is just personal preference. You can only tell that by swinging a golf club.

      Thanks for the comments. I fully understand that these changes won't make any big difference compared to getting a flawless swing but looking to give myself the best chance of success at where I am and hopefully lessons will improve the swing along the way. Can these changes make minor improvements to ball striking and misses then that's fine. From what I understood about changing the grips, which is to avoid them slipping in warm and humid conditions, is that it will affect the swing weight since midsize are heavier than regular and so therefore adding weight to the club head would be required to avoid a change of feel in the club compared to before?
