My grading system is amazingly simple.
I grade the golf balls based on playability and visual inspection. The 5A golf balls will be as close to perfect as possible. There may be a slight pen mark on some 5a balls or a corporate logo on the golf ball. 5A Grade Mint condition may have corporate logos, may have small ink marks.
I grade the 4A golf balls based on playability and a visual inspection. The 4A are based on my opinion.
I play golf. I have a good idea of a golf ball that is still able to be played. If the ink mark is bigger than normal. The golf ball may have an abrasion or slight scuff. It may have a corporate logo or slight discoloration
Grade 5A
- Grade Mint condition may have corporate logo’s may have small ink marks.
- These balls are in extremely playable condition. There are no scuffs, no path marks, and only very minor player markings.
