All balls are playable and without cuts. Grades are based on appearance, including color, shine, scuffs, scratches and user marks. Corporate logos on balls do not effect grade.

"AAA" Rating - No scuffs, no user marks, Closest to
original color and shine. Looks and feels like a new

scratch, or be less smooth. Completely playable.
