Seller-declared grades, sterling with an approximate US dollar equivalent at £1 ≈ $1.33 (July 2026). What each grade means.
What holds its value across Wilson
- Pro Staff and Blade rackets, which are the players’ frames and are searched for by model and year
- The Clash line, which is unlike the rest of the range in how it flexes and has its own following
- Rackets in the common grip sizes, which suit far more buyers than the extremes at either end
- Staff irons and blades from the classic era, which have a modest but genuine collectors’ following
What pulls Wilson resale value down
- Cracked or repaired frames, which are unsafe to string to full tension and make a racket unsellable rather than merely cheap
- Worn grommet strips, which cut the strings and are a fiddly replacement job
- Dead strings, though buyers expect to restring and this is a small deduction rather than a real problem
- Sun-damaged frames stored in car boots, where the resin degrades and the frame loses stiffness invisibly
Identifying and dating yours
- The model and head size are printed on the frame, and the grip size is stamped on the butt cap — quote both, since buyers filter on grip size
- Photograph the frame all the way round under good light, because hairline cracks at the throat are what buyers most need to see
- Say when the racket was last strung, as buyers assume they will restring but want to know what they are getting
What lifts any golf bag, whatever the label
Golf bags are judged on the dividers and the strap, since those are what fail and what buyers test.
- Full-length dividers that keep clubs separated
- Intact dual straps with padding
- Recognised golf brands
- Working zips on every pocket
And what pulls one down
- Collapsed or torn dividers
- Frayed straps at the anchor points
- Failed pocket zips
- Faded fabric from sun exposure
Working out what yours is worth
- Check the dividers are intact full length
- Pull firmly on both strap anchors
- Run every pocket zip
What to state in the listing
- Type: stand, cart, carry or tour bag
- Number of dividers and whether they are full length
- Number and type of pockets, including any insulated one
- Strap and stand condition, and whether the rain hood is included
Type, dividers and brand: “Ping Hoofer Stand Bag, 14 Way Divider, 4 Pockets”. Divider count is a genuine search term. Say cart bag, stand bag or carry bag — those suit entirely different golfers.
Preparing and photographing it
- Count the dividers and note whether it is a 14-way full-length divider or a simpler layout.
- Check both shoulder straps, the stand mechanism if it has one, and every zip.
- Empty every pocket, clean the base, and check the legs retract properly.
- The bag upright, front, stand deployed if it has one
- Looking down into the top, showing the divider layout
- The straps and their attachment points
- The base, zips and any tear, fray or broken leg
When it sells best, and handing it over
March through August, peaking in spring. Recognised brands sell within days in season; off-season listings wait.
Bulky and awkward to post — get a quote first, since length surcharges apply. Collection is common and simpler.
What buyers ask
Does a racket need restringing before selling?
No. Buyers restring to their own tension and string preference, so save the money and simply state when it was last done.
How do I check a used racket for damage?
Run a finger round the frame feeling for ridges and look for paint crazing at the throat. A cracked frame cannot be strung safely and should not be sold as playable.
How much is a Wilson golf bag worth?
Roughly £21 to £126 depending on condition, against £20 to £120 for golf bags generally. The identification points above are what move a listing to the top of that range.
