How we grade
Grading golf balls is not a machine job. Every ball that goes into a Clubhouse Goods box is looked at by hand and sorted against the grades above, so the description on the listing matches what lands on your doormat.
-
Hand-grading
Every ball is cleaned before it is graded, so the grade reflects the condition of the ball itself and not the dirt on it.
-
Sorted against this system
Each ball is sorted by hand into one of the grades above, so the grade on the listing is the grade that turns up in your box.
Still not sure which grade you need?
Have a look at what other golfers have pulled out of their boxes, or head back and pick yours.
