Condition Guide

Our Club Condition Rating Guide

At Encore Golf Company, we believe in being honest and transparent about the condition of every item we sell. To help you buy with confidence, we individually rate the condition of each club component on a scale of 1–10.

• 10/10 – Brand new, unused, or still in the original packaging.
• 9/10 – Excellent condition with little to no visible signs of use.
• 8/10 – Very good condition with only light cosmetic wear.
• 7/10 – Good condition with normal signs of careful use.
• 6/10 – Above average condition with noticeable but purely cosmetic wear.
• 5/10 – Average used condition, showing expected wear from regular play.
• 4/10 – Below average condition with heavier cosmetic wear, but still fully functional.
• 3/10 – Well-used condition with significant cosmetic wear.
• 2/10 – Poor condition with heavy wear, suitable for those prioritising value.
• 1/10 – Very poor condition with substantial cosmetic wear and/or defects, clearly stated within the listing.

Each listing includes individual ratings for the grip, shaft, club head and headcover (where applicable), giving you a clear picture of the club’s overall condition before you buy.

We provide high-quality photographs of every item, and these form an important part of the condition description. Please examine all images carefully before purchasing.

If you have any questions about the condition of a club or would like additional information before buying, please don’t hesitate to get in touch via our Contact page. We’re always happy to help.
