New! Never Hit. No Shop Wear or any blemishes at all!

9.9

New, Never Hit. May have light shop wear like “rug burn” from being scuffed against the carpet. (WHY DO PEOPLE DO THAT?!) May have very light surface scratches from contact with other clubs in the shop.

9.5

Like New! Only hit a few times. In some cases only off a mat. Will only show a few light marks on the face or sole. Paint and shaft will be nearly perfect.

Mint. Used for perhaps 1-3 rounds. Light scratches on face and sole and likely very light scuffs in the clear coat of painted surfaces. Nothing resembling a sky mark at all! Plays like new. You are likely to put more wear on it in one practice session.

8.5

Excellent! Used 4-10 rounds and has little cosmetic wear. No serious scratches or chips in paint. May have a few very tiny flecks or light scratches. May show a little groove wear but is in perfect playing condition.

8

Very Good. Used for a season or two under normal conditions. Irons may have some groove wear. Faces may show some scratching and soles may have small dings on the leading edges. The painted surfaces will be in decent condition with no GLARING blemishes. Any skymarks or scratches will be light and not “through the paint”. Grips will be playable but likely not in “new” condition. Overall playability will be excellent!

7.5

Ugly ducklings! These will not win any beauty contests but may still win a tournament or two! Skymarks, gouges, dings and paint chips will be pretty obvious.

These usually go in the “Bargain Bag” at my shop. Don’t list many of these!
