This club or set is brand new.  The head is still in the original manufacturers shrink wrap.  There are no marks or signs of use anywhere on the club, including the shaft and grip.  

An A grade rating is a rare bird indeed!  It represents a club or set that is practically unblemished. There are no visible marks on the crown, back or top of the club and any marks on the face are almost unnoticeable.  There are no marks or paint scratches on the shaft.  The grip is almost new.  

B grade golf clubs and sets represent the top end of pre-owned golf equipment.  This club or set only has faint marks on the face and the crown is unblemished.  There are no sky sky marks visible on drivers, fairways or hybrids.  The top, back and sole are also in very good condition and any marks will be very minor.  The shaft may have very light marks but no scratches or shaft wear spots.  The grip still feels very good and tacky.

C grade is our most common grading.  It represents an average amount of wear for a pre-owned golf club.  This club may have light marks on the crown and clear ball impact marks on the face.  There may also be minor wear marks on the back or sole of the club/set and some blemishes to the paint work may be visible.  Graphite shafted clubs may have some minor bag wear marks but none greater than 1 cm with no depressions. The grip is still in a good usable order.

While a D grading is our lowest grade, it still represents a perfectly usable golf club and often incredible value!  This club or set has seen more than an average amount of use and there may be clear marks on the crown, face and back of the club head.  There may be chips to the paintwork on drivers, fairways and hybrids and minor dings on the sole of irons and wedges.  Graphite shafts may show signs of wear but no bag rub marks that are greater than 1 cm with no depressions.  The grip is perfectly usable but may have lost some of its tackiness.  The performance of the club is unaffected.

Brand New. Manufacturers labelling is present and unmarked. Never been used and no marks or signs of use anywhere on the shaft. Where present, the grip & adapter are unblemished.

No marks or paint scratches on the shaft, it would almost pass as new but manufacturers labelling may not be intact. Where present, the the grip and adapter are very much like new.

There may be very light marking but no scratches or bag rub marks on the shaft. Where present, the grip still feels very tacky, there may be very light marking but no scratches on the adapter.

Shaft has light marks from general use and or a minor bag rub mark (but it is less than 1 cm with no indentation). Where present, the grip has lost some of its tackiness but still has a good amount of usage left, the adapter may have marks and light scratches from general use. 

The shaft may have a reasonable amount of wear. Bag rub marks are no greater than 1cm with no indentation. Where present, the grip and adapter show obvious signs of wear but are not damaged. The performance of the shaft is unaffected by its condition.
