Look, people will post what they want to discuss things go off topic at times just like discussing the other members boutique.

Now just move on.

I apologize for calling you an Asshole!
But as a Mod you should understand that you are not contributing to what this thread is about.
Honestly since you showed up in this thread it has gone to garbage and That's a shame.

If users want to use Ali for stuff and discuss it this is a great thread, if the forum deems it as not something to be discussed then close it.
But if it's not being closed I would hope you would respect the rest of the users and let them use it how it's meant to be used.

That's my 2 cents and my apology with respect to my words, as you wanted from me via PM.

As a paying member in the past of this forum I struggle with the behaviour of everyone and I will include myself on that for my previous post.

Sorry everyone.
Whit

I've had Vokeys for a over a year now, and using these rep's (only tried them for 15-20 shots) they seems to feel pretty much exactly the same.
I understand what you are saying, all makes total sense, but this seller had sold 500+ sets with 99% feedback, all claiming they play fantastically.

At the end of the day they cost me £90 delivered, £30 per club, so I have very little to lose if they are no good. I'll chuck them in to a charity shop or something.

I'll keep them in my bag for a few months and see how I fair. I'm happy to report back in a couple of months with honest feedback, good or bad.

Jon the reviews I have read about clubs is the quality of the product, the logos coming off, or the shafts breaking at the hozzle. Do the clubs seem to be holding up? How many rounds?

For years I swung a knockoff TaylorMade driver and it was a nice driver and I liked swinging it. Last year I bought a Gen Callaway Xhot and its great but I am not sure there was much of a difference in distance which has me wondering what some of the irons are like for knock offs.

Some of the rep clubs are so good that certain brands are considered ineligible at pawn shops in the US.

You can buy from taobao without an agent now, plenty of instructions online on how to do it. Bhiner is very expensive look at yoybuy or someone like that, much cheaper

Does yoybuy offer QC pics?

A lot would depend on how good a golfer you ever hope to be.

I see some guys with clubs worth 1000's who will never hope to be better than an 18 handicap. For that level of player I would say Ali clubs would be fine. If you want to be a better player than that then I would recommend custom fitting and a decent set of clubs from a pro.

That said...

This looks pretty amazing!

Scotty Cameron Circle T's are pretty much impossible to buy. I don't see how the above can be a great deal different to the real thing...

Last I checked, though, it was pretty much impossible to get the good quality sunglasses compared to AE. So many sellers using the same photos instead of their own, item not as described etc.. I would only use DHGate if I absolutely can't find it on AE and so far I've managed to do so.

The agent process sucks. Not only is it a lot of legwork involved the overall charge is a huge % of the item's value in just about any case. Have you ever managed to do it and can recommend at least an agent that won't gouge? The name Bhiner floats around but any time I've tried his site it automatically doesn't allow you to purchase anything but legit goods.

P.s. did you ever post any pics of your yzy's you presumably bought off there? I am quite curious as to the quality as I have someone who wants some too.

The same sellers are on both ali and dh, but on ali they get closed down almost on a weekly basis, and there are only a handful of factories making the sunglasses and its not like they would only distribute them to sellers on ali, you get the same shades on dh no doubt about it. its a matter of spending time, finding the keywords for searching, use model numbers instead of "rayban" or the like

All this bitching back and forth and people bitching about people bitching, and now i have to come and bitch about you bitching, life's a bitch

But some of the personal remarks directed @sub4me calling him an asshole and a fat guy at a computer and the dude who was shit talking about americans, is just low life behavior someone should have been brigged for that, it just shows the standard of people who do come into this thread and shows why the senior member don't really have much respect for this topic. We try and have a laugh and you bitch and whine, surprise surprise its a forum, for people opinions and knowledge, so you will find some opinionated people here... but there's no need for name calling or personal remarks.

AS SAID BEFORE THERE ARE DEDICATED ALI DISCUSSION THREADS ELSEWHERE, YOU DON'T FEEL WELCOME HERE THEN GO GOOGLE ANOTHER

I don't doubt that for a second but I've always found it easier to get a reasonably curated product off AE for some reason even despite the shutdowns.

Thats one way of looking at things I guess.

"having a laugh" isn't really what this thread is for. It's not really adding to opinion or knowledge either.

It's just trying to destroy the chance for other RWI members, just the same as you, to discuss a topic. I don't see how that is changing knowledge of things.

Also, who is "we"?

I enjoy coming on RWI a lot. I add to the AP and Panerai sections regularly. I purchase from TD's. I sell on the sales section. I think my standard of person is just fine :)

we is the forum collectively. But ok maybe some are here to be serious..

I should point out I wasn't tarring everyone with the same brush, like people saying they hate gingers or Canadian's it doesn't mean they hate every ginger, it's just a broad term..

Ya know, I'm about had it with this thread, now we have a mad Albanian to boot.
I promise you this, the next time I or another staffer needs to clean up this thread it will be closed for a week. Time after that, 2 weeks then a month and then forever. Alles klar?

Well, that's a No Sale for you until I get an explanation of why you are trying to back door sell. It's 2 weeks right now, no explanation and it becomes permanent. [MENTION=110610]joncoyle[/MENTION]
