Golf Club Quality Grading Guidelines
GOLF2GO evaluates golf club quality by considering the condition of the clubhead, shaft, and grip separately, so buyers have a shared understanding and can compare products clearly using the same standard.

🔍 Separate Component Evaluation
| Component | Inspection criteria |
| Clubhead | The clubface, head edges, and surface are examined • Must not have cracks, deformation, or structural damage • Signs of use must be consistent with the grade |
| Shaft | Must be straight and free from breaks, dents, or cracks • Must not be bent or unbalanced • Marks on the paint/sticker are considered normal signs of use |
| Grip | Still functions normally • No tears • Not used as a primary factor in calculating the overall quality % • If worn, the team may recommend replacement for maximum performance |
