Heads

10/10 – Brand new: Unused, may be in or out of original wrapping

This club will never have been used, it may or may not have the original wrapper on it. Either way, these clubs will be brand new and will have never hit a golf ball.

9/10 – Mint condition

The head will be in absolutely top grade condition. It will have hit a maximum of 1 or 2 balls. There may be very minimal signs of ‘shop wear’. 9/10s are little nuggets of gold, you’ll be buying a basically brand new golf club at a discounted price!

8/10 – Very good condition

Our clubs rated ‘very good’ will have only been used a handful of times – 2/3rounds at most. Any marks would be very minimal, like our clubs rated 9/10 these resemble the very top end of used golf equipment.

7/10 – Good condition

When buying a club rated 7/10, you’ll still be buying a golf club in very good condition. These heads show evidence of play, though have been well looked after. You might find some usual play marks on the face and sole.

6/10 – Fair

We strive to buy top quality golf equipment and rate modestly, therefore this is our most common grading. Our clubs rated ‘fair’ are still in good shape, but will show some cosmetic wear. Marks on the face will be from usual play and our drivers/woods may show some sky marks on the crown.

5/10 – Well-used

We don’t buy many well used golf clubs, but if we do we’ll let you know why. These clubs will be in good order, but will show some heavy signs of play. That may be heavy wear marks on the fact or sky marks on the crown. There will be no dents on the club.

Shafts

10/10 – Brand new

The shaft will never have been used and there will be no marks at all.

9/10 – Mint condition

The shaft does not appear to have been used, there may be very small signs of marks from display in pro shops, etc.

8/10 – Very good condition

The shaft will be in top condition and the club would have been used for a handful of rounds at most. The shaft may show very faint signs of marking.

7/10 – Good condition

The shafts themselves are in good order! There may be some slight marking and one or two of the stickers may be slightly frayed..

6/10 – Fair

These shafts are in good order but there will be some cosmetic wear. Steel shafts could have a few small marks or rust spots and graphite shafts may show some bag wear.

5/10 – Well-used

These shafts are still in playable condition but ares showing signs of heavy use. Steel shafts could have heavy rust spots or pitting to the shaft. Graphite shafts could show some heavy bag wear. All purely cosmetic, there will be no actual damage.

Grips

10/10 – Brand new

The grip will have never been used and the original packaging may or may not be intact.

The grip will be in great condition, it will feel almost new and would have been used only a handful of times.

7/10 – Good condition

The grip will be in good condition, it will feel tacky and there will be no surface wear.

Still plenty of life left in these grips, however some may have started to wear and lose some tackiness.
