Cleaning clubs

[Papas1982]

So, after reading a post recently I've seen people saying they clean clubs after each shot and then once home too. I think I must be the worst in here as apart from a wipe if I take a chunk of sort or sand mine haven't been cleaned since I got them in autumn!!!

so what does everyone use for a good scrub?? Got 8 hours of a night shift ahead with little to do so thought I'd give em a scrub!

In your case a chisel might be a start For everyone else warm water and a old toothbrush or something for the grooves then wipe dry

I think it was my post you are referring to mate,I take it you mean cleaning methods away from the course? I usually run some hot water,shove the face and back (of the club,not my own) under the tap (trying to avoid contact with the hosel as really hot water can soften the glue used I believe) and scrub with a softer brush.Then I dry with a towel asap,before moving on the the next club.Hope this is helpful!

I was worried about hit water on clubs so that's spot on. Cheers fella

Exactly this^^ plus on one of the cleans they get a month some WD40 sprayed on them and wiped over.

Warm soapy water and a stiff tooth brush does the job perfectly. Towel dried then lined out on the garden table and sprayed with wd40 which drives out moisture and adds a protective film

Kept my irons and TM wedges in great nick even through winter golf

I just soak heads in hot water with a bit of fairy. Give grips a good scrub every so often aswell :thup:

I find hitting it fat in soft mud drives the old mud out and replaces with a protective layer of new mud.

Warm water in a bucket for a bit then scrubbed. WD40 every now and again helps keep em lookin good. Usually done before a big day out.

I use muc off http://muc-off.com/en/bicycle/1-bike-cleaner.html?category=bicycle for mountain bikes. Loosens the grot, rinses clean and leaves a protective coating. Not often though every 3 months...

I washed my grips at my nans years ago and they were nice an tacky. Can't remember how I did it though to get them tacky.

Don't forget to give your grips a good clean 2 or 3 times a year. Water with fairy liquid will do. Dry thoroughly and your grips will be nice and tacky.

I'd say a lot more than 3 times a year lol, its probably more important to keep the grips clean. Some say every 3 rounds but I do grips every 3 weeks or so.

Grips... Very warm water with washing up liquid in a bowl give them a good scrub/wipe with old tee towel then rinse in cold water and give them a quick dry.

As for heads, Luke warm water straight from the tap and a toothbrush :thup:

That's what I do. Seems to work.

I've got a nail brush, take em outside with a bucket of lukewarm water with fairy liquid. Cleam the head, then shaft and then the grips. Lay them on the floor to drip dry whilst I go through the other clubs. I then go back to the first one with a towel and towel dry them in the same order as they were cleaned. Then get some wd/lubricating oil (like you use on door hinges) and wipe the shaft down with the oil. Gives the shafts a lovely rainbow effect in the sun . I don't get oil on the heads though as i worry how this may affect ball striking?
I do this maybe every couple of months or after a particularly mucky round (providing the conditions won't be so bad next outing).

this with a nail brush , i was told to t-cut the shafts evry know and then to stop rust !

Some of you guys seriously need to get a life!


Anal anal anal. 23 handicap golfers worrying about a bit of mud or a bit of WD40 effecting the ball strike.

WD 40 on your golf clubs!!??? Bloody hell that's real love! :thup:Apart from making them look nice I presume its to protect them from rust but doesn't that effect the strike?

Maybe we should ask Adam Scott how he cleaned Steve Williams clubs on Monday morning....

 

[Bomber69]

Need to agree with Craw here, cleaning clubs

Some folk need to spend more time on the practise ground working on your game and getting a mans handicap rather than looking for ways to clean your clubs:whoo:

As for the comment about WD-40 effecting the strike PMSL:thup:
