    Too funny. A club cleaning instruction. Love it. It’s actually a great reminder for some that DON’T clean their clubs which I don’t understand. Dirty grips with body oils ground in slip quite a bit. I had developed a non-butyl and non-acetate cleaner for automotive and marine use that ended up being an AMAZING club cleaner for the head and grips. Made them look like new and I actually thought about making some packaging as a club cleaner, lol. To get the pitting off of steel shafts that happens periodically, the best thing to use is soapy water and 0000 steel wool. Anything more aggressive and it will dull the finish. But the 0000 type makes them new again real quick. Clean grooves and clean grips just work better!! It’s true!! 👍🏻😎👍🏻

      If you didn't know, there are varying grades of Steel Wool, like Sandpaper.
      60 grit Sandpaper is very rough.
      The higher the number goes, the less abrasive it is:
      60>120>240>320>400>600>800>1000>1500>2000 and so on.
      Then you get into polishing compounds which are kind of like a liquid sandpaper.
      The abrasiveness of Steel wool is associated with how many zeros there are.
      O is very rough then: 00>000>0000.
      0000 is very fine and used in a lot of applications. If used with a lubricant, like soapy water or WD40, it's cleaning/polishing abilities are enhanced.
      DO NOT USE ANYTHING LESS THAN 0000. 😄
      I hope this helps Sir, thanks for reading all my nonsense.

    People... NEVER soak irons!!! Unless you can keep the water line below the hosel. Water can seep in through the old epoxy that bonds the iron's steel shaft to the head. The shafts will rust inside the neck and eventually the shaft will break. You have to be especially careful with newer clubs since a lot of new design concepts feature composite sections that make up the clubface and back of the irons, where water could penetrate. Dipping a brush (old toothbrush, golf brush, etc.) into soapy water and then scrubbing the grooves, clubface and bottoms of your clubs is best. Then immediately wipe and dry the clubs. DO NOT SOAK THEM.

      Exactly. Common sense ain't so Common these days. I never soak my clubs. I put the club sideways over my kitchen sink and barely get enough warm water to wet the clubface, never going past the hosel. Wait a few seconds and then brush them , rinse and dry with towel. That's it

  • @Tryingtogolf
    @Tryingtogolf 2 місяці тому +2

    When u soak ur clubs make sure you only soak the head and not the hosel (the little black plastic piece above you club head) because there is epoxy/glue that attaches you club to the shaft. If you get soap in there, it can break down the epoxy, and you could risk your club head flying off.

    There's a lot wrong here, for one, don't soak clubs. It can damage them. Another thing, and this is common among us Americans, WD40 is not a catch all the you can put on your lug nuts, clubs, and breakfast cereal. It's literally "Water Displacement 40" which is what it does. It displaces water, and evaporates, it has no staying power, and thus will not/can not prevent rust. You'd be better off with MMO.

    Pretty useless guide. He doesn't even clean the grips. Here is how to clean your clubs: use green soap (pine soap), lukewarm water, a wet and a dry towel and brush or scotch brite. First, apply some soap to the grips. Let them be. Then, gently scrub the club heads with soap, rinse and dry with the dry towel. Make sure the grooves get clean.
    Next, take your wet towel and work the grips (the soap has had some time to loosen old fat and dirt). Rinse carefully. Then thoroughly dry the grips with the dry towel. Finally give the shafts a once over with the towel just for good measure.

      I have found that nail polish remover removes paint marks from the tee on the soles and face of the driver and other metal woods really well.👍👍

      @@jasonricco5835 Yea I see your point but I only dab a little on a cotton ball to get the fresh tee marks off the bottom..hopefully the black paint on the driver isn’t easily harmed. Also why I try to use plastic tees too..no marks👍👍it also works good to remove the sticker residue on the shafts with new clubs..very annoying 😡😡
