Tour Quality Golf's Shop Condition Guide & Grading

We want you to shop confidently at Tour Quality Golf's Shop. That’s why every club you buy comes backed with our 100% condition guarantee. Most of our customers are surprised—in a good way—by just how solid their used gear looks and feels. And if something doesn’t meet your expectations? We make it right.

Condition grading can be a little subjective, but after evaluating thousands of custom clubs, we’ve built a system that keeps it simple. About 80–90% of clubs fit neatly into one of these four grades. Occasionally, we’ll see a club that straddles two categories—say, a driver that looks flawless but has one noticeable scratch. When that happens, we grade it with transparency and fairness.

Here’s how our condition scale breaks down:


A C D
10 Point Scale 3-5 6-7 8 9-10
Typical Rounds 75+ 25-75 10-25 0-10
Club Face/Sole/Shaft Good amount of wear; Face wear will be more evident on wedges Normal wear Slight wear Very slight to no wear
Top of Woods/Hybrids Will have scuffs/scratches Probably has small scuffs/scratches Minimal scuffs/scratches Very slight to no scuffs/scratches
Grips
 
Grip(s) consistent with overall condition rating. Grip(s) may not be the original grip or standard size. With higher condition ratings, the grips are naturally in near-new condition. Non-Callaway items will be shipped with the grip(s) as is.

A Note About Shop Wear

Sometimes clubs are marked down because of minor "shop wear"—light rub marks, smudges, or tiny scratches from handling or storage. These are cosmetic only and do not affect performance.

Heads-Up on Grade A Grips

Clubs listed in Grade A may have brand-new grips installed—some could feature a “Demo” stamp on the cap. These are unused, premium grips installed during the original build process or in-house at Tour Quality Golf's Shop.
