GRADING

Golf ball grading is a process used to evaluate the condition and quality of used golf balls. Grading golf balls is important because it allows golfers to purchase used balls at a lower cost while still ensuring that they perform well on the course. Bellow are the common grades and descriptions we use to classify our used golf balls:

Golf Balls

Mint

This is the highest grade of used golf balls. These balls are in almost new condition, with no scuffs, blemishes, or discoloration. They may have been hit once or twice, but they are essentially new balls and will be latest Years/Models.

Pearl

May have very slight signs of use (Little scuff) or may have NO signs of use again  will be latest Years/Models .  Pearl balls look and feel almost like a brand new ball and may have only been hit once or twice.   Balls may have a company/golf course logo or very minor felt pen marks.

Grade A

Grade A's have a little more sign of wear than a pearl ball but are still an excellent standard of ball. They may be a slightly older Model.  Grade A's may have a minor  scuff mark and may have felt pen marks.  None of the A's are split/cracked/ or stamped with ,"practice" or "X out" or "Refurbished"   They may carry a company or golf course logo, and may be a little discoloured (this does not affect ball performance)

Grade A/B

These are Grade A golf balls but may have a slightly bigger logo or slightly more pen marks still a near perfect ball.

Grade B

Grade B balls contain no splits / cracks and are still in very good condition and a very useable ball .They will be a slightly older Model.  They may have Golf course and company logos on.  Grade B balls may have scuffs/abrasions, felt pen marks and show more signs of play  And will not be stamped with 'practice' or 'X - out' or "Refurbished".  Grade B balls may be discoloured, off white in colour.  (This does not affect ball performance in any way)

Grade C

Our Grade C ball are great for beginners, or good for those tricky uncharted parts of the golf course!  Grade C?s still have life left in them and are still a very usable ball , They may be a slightly older model.  They may show more signs of use and  company / golf course logos.  Heavier felt pen marks may be present as well as heavier abrasions but still very useable. Grade C balls may be discoloured, off white in colour.  (This does not affect ball performance in any way) And will not be stamped with 'practice' or 'X - out' but may include refurbished.

Practice

Our Practice balls are still a great ball for beginners or general practice. They may be a slightly older model.  They may show more signs of use and  company / golf course logos.  Heavier felt pen marks may be present as well as heavier abrasions but still very useable. Some may be marked Practice , Range or be X-outs.

When purchasing used golf balls, it is important to pay attention to their grade and to purchase balls that are appropriate for your skill level and playing style. Higher grade balls will generally offer better performance, but they will also be more expensive. Lower grade balls may be more affordable, but their performance may be compromised.
