Once your session is booked with us, should you wish to trade in your existing clubs against the potential purchase of your new ones then we will provide you with a pre-fitting quote to give you a clear picture of what your clubs are worth.

By the time you arrive for your session we will have received your quote for the value of your existing clubs that you are looking to trade in. After your session we will confirm whether we believe the club’s overall condition has been accurately allocated to the rating system of which we have listed below. The final decision will remain in our hands but this quick final check endeavours to avoid any surprise responses upon their arrival to us.

Should we deem the original club rating to be incorrect we will contact you to settle any small outstanding balance there may be, but this is a very infrequent scenario.

If you decide to trade in your clubs as planned, then you will be able to keep playing with your existing clubs until your new ones are built and ready for the course.

Do you have some dusty, unwanted clubs in the garage that you need to get rid of?

Do you want to purchase some new clubs or would just like to add some INSTORE credit?

Contact us via our enquiry form below to help value your clubs and give you the best possible price.

You will receive your quote within 48 hours of your enquiry. We may need to gather more information about your trade-in and gather some images via email.

Once we have agreed the price, we will arrange a collection of your clubs.

You will receive credit for your clubs less the cost of postage £9.99 and will be free to use this credit against new products.
