anyone got any tips for getting the glue marks from labels off club shafts?

Nail vanish remover is one to get rid of glue.

I mentioned this in a golf shop and the salesperson just heated the sticker with a lighter and it just peeled off. Very impressed!

Any sort of turps or white spirit. I've used petrol before.

t.b.h. if I buy a new club now, I ask for the stickers to be removed as part of the sale.

It took me ages to get a big sticker off my G5.....

Reminds me of the early days of CDs (1987?). Shops would stick a round £14.99 sticker on the box ("our price", remember them?) and you'd have yucky muck on it forever.

Cheers for your help guys. It was annoying me just knowing it was there. Now got myself a putter im 100% happy with for now

The lighter trick really works, Ive done it myself lots of times.

do you put the flame onto the sticker or hold it a little away? And how long do you heat it for?

I've used wet wipes in the past, they do work but take a bit of elbow grease!

I always find white spirit works well usually do it when I regrip them.

White spirit, paint brush cleaner or butter.

Zippo (or similar) lighter fluid. Works well and then evaporates, leaving no residue.

use a hair dryer over the sticker for a few minutes. Should peal off easy enough, if their is any residue left over I use sugar soap to remove it. Doesn't have a nasty smell either.
