  • How to clean clubheads and grips??

    Does anybody use anything special to clean heads and grips? I saw some products advertised, but wasn't sure if the are any better than elbow grease and water. Also, what products would be bad to clean with??

    Hi
    for the grips i use a mild detergent and a nailbrush.

    and for the clubheads. a little soapy water, make sure you dry them properly and i use a tee point to get inside the grooves.

    hope this helps.... Terry

      I use this revolutionary product called soapy water.

      It's a compound made from warm tap water, and a small drop if dish soap.

      I also use a stiff bristle brush (I've used an old stiff toothbrush in a pinch).

      Don't use acetone to clean with, or anything that leaves a residue behind.

            i actaullt use a small glasses screwdiver head to clean the gunk in my grooves. i wouldn't think that scratching the material inside the grooves would matter. now that i think about it, it could be sharpening the smooth finish on my grooves.... i always have to clean out white stuf from my grooves (i a guessing from the ball) does anyone else get that white stuff in their bottom gooves?

              Unless that white stuff is localised to the impact area, I think you're describing paint fill.

                no, it is localized in the impact area, i think it is shavings of the ball

                    so is that bad??? i mean as far as the balls i don't care because i am at the driving range. but does that mean i should try to sand my gooves down a bit?

                    could that hurt my distnace? or maybe help? maybe that is the reason my short irons go so far and my long irons so short. does that give me more backspin?

                      Nope, not a bad thing at all. If anything, it shows that you're making clean contact - which will add spin, helping the ball to check up, and increasing ball flight.

                        would you reccomend me doing that to all my clubs (cleaning them with a small screwdeiver head) or is it illigal to modify the grooves on the face

                          There are USGA and R&A regulations as to how the grooves have to be. Cleaning them with a screwdriver for eyeglass repair will not likely make the grooves non-conforming.
