Grading Scale

These balls will have the performance and feel similar to a new ball. It may have the smallest of scuff marks, but these will have no impact on ball flight and performance. Eagle grade balls will NEVER be refurbished, x-out, or practice. They may have player markings, some cosmetic discolorations or blemishes, team or company logos BUT those will never affect ball performance. Our primary consideration in the grading process for Eagle grade balls will be to ensure that performance and ball flight is the same as a brand new ball. Eagle grade balls are recommended for low handicap players and/or for playing a competitive round of golf.

Compare to Mint, 5A, AAAAA, A Quality.

A note on discoloration: Some brands/models are more prone to discoloration than others. For example, Bridgestone B330 / B series, Callaway and TaylorMade soft cover balls being some of the worst offenders. We do include these balls in Eagle grade after carefully inspecting the cover to confirm the discoloration is purely cosmetic AND the performance will be exactly the same as a new ball.

These balls are still in good playable condition! They may have some imperfections or small scuff marks which have little to no impact on performance. These balls could have some blemishes or discoloration and may have player markings, team or company logos. Higher grade practice balls may be included, but NO x-out, refurbished or refinished. Birdie grade balls are recommended for moderate to high handicap golfers.
