The adjustment screw snapped in my Ping G25 driver snapped. Local golf shop said Id have to buy a new shaft as Ping wouldnt replace the sleeve. £80 - I dont think so. Instead I went to my local hardware shop and bought an identically sized screw. £1. Job done.
Thanks for watching Guys! In terms of selling your equipment, list them on eBay with a auction ending on a Saturday or Sunday evening for the best bidding on your clubs. 👍
I’ve used like Asda 1L bottle of cheap coke to clean my clubs for like 10mins to let the acid get into the grooves and use the toothbrush to clean them. Works a treat! I also have used a Brillo pad for the grips with warm soapy water and makes the grips like brand new again!
Add a bit of dish washing liquid when cleaning the grip. It pulls oil out left behind by sweaty hands, I use that and use a scotch brite pad. Nice and sticky.
Lighter fluid - like Ronsonol or Zippo Fluid - will also work to dissolve sticker residue. Gotta work fast though cuz the fluid evaporates pretty quickly.
Question about value of a club - Say an older club (like titleist 904f) is listed for $40 on Ebay but shipping is also $40. As the club is hard to find is that club worth $40 or $80 because of the shipping? Does that make sense? I see people list clubs at eBay pricing but shipping included. So it’s $200 on Ebay with shipping or $240 on Market place. Just curious about value to hone my negotiation skills 😆
I NEVER remove the screw from the clubhead anymore. The rubber washer on the inside is there to keep the screw attached to the clubhead so you don't lose it when changing shafts. 9 times out of 10 it will remain in the clubhead and you need to provide a new one to restore the value of the club. This is VERY DIFFICULT to do. I use a wooden CORN DOG SKEWER inserted through the BOTTOM of the club and sticking out the HOSEL opening. The RUBBER WASHER goes on the tip of the SKEWER and is then gently lowered into the club til it rests on the bottom of the HOSEL with the SKEWER still in it. Insert the shaft in the hosel so the SKEWER TIP just enters the threaded screw hole in the adaptor and the shaft adapter is firmly holding the washer against the HOSEL bottom. Pull the SKEWER out the bottom and insert the screw into the shaft adaptor. The washer will now be back on the screw as before. Better to leave the WASHER on the SCREW while cleaning the club in the first place.
Baby wipes are great for cleaning grips!! Just make sure you get unscented ones with no lotion on😂😂 Also a bit of wet and dry high grit sandpaper on old grips when you clean them gets the hard shiny off the top and can make older grips like new
I've used all of those tips. I've also used mineral spirits to get off sticker glue and generally remove dirt and scratches. I've went so far as to use a quick spray of spray paint on really bad sky marks. I like using something like dial dish soap and a little wire brush on grips to bring them back to life. You allowed me to make a great deal of sales this year. I'm hoping the season holds out for a few more months. I've seen a pretty dramatic slow down recently. Thanks again!!!
Good one! 👌 I have old clubs so am always cleaning them ! What about an old but good driver head with the odd deep mark down to the metal ! If you were to touch it up with enamel paint - can you then buff it with TCut to make paint level and less stand out and look ok -or just leave as is ? Thanks
I have tried that with mixed results, sometimes the results are good and sometimes the enamel paint comes straight off on the cloth you use to t-cut it with
Tape off the shaft and use some sandpaper on the older grips. I'll do this when I am not quite ready to re-grip my clubs and it gives them another month or two of new life.
Prices will drop off now football and other sports are returning to normal demand will be less most likely. Hopefully numbers will be up on pre covid still.
Hi Simon, do you have any tips for repairing the white paint on a Taylormade M2 driver? A stone in the practice nets has taken a little chip out of my driver paint just above the face and it’s driving me crazy after keeping it pristine for so long
glue can also be removed with paint thinner, acetone or nail polish remover. Essentially all more or less the same product. Just dont use it on plastic or painted surfaces. On stainless steel it should be fine.
A steam clean first and a polish with autosol has done wonders for second life sets I've acquired. Also steam the grips, you Will be amazed at the grime that come out of some of them
@@rhull3939 depending on which model, I can't find a good set of Taylormade burner irons for less then 700 dollars unless the prices went down withing the last few months.
@@rhull3939 funny you say that, I was able to get the original M4 irons secondhand on Mercari.thats what's in the bag now. Cheaper then I could find the burner irons anywhere. Didn't notice how much different the offset was tho.
@@unknownmusic7144 yeah, Mercari is great. Bought my full set of Wilson Staff Di9's for $190. $60 cheaper than anywhere else. Also picked up 54 and 58 Vokeys for $12 each and an Odyssey two ball for $30. Can't beat it.
Goo gone for adhesives, maas metal polish for polishing...its the best stuff. Mr clean magic erasers for cleanin. You can also buy meguiars plastx for plastic polishing and scratch removal.
T-cut doesn't come in colours, its a sort of yellowy polish like liquid that takes a very fine layer of paint off to reveal the fresh clean paint underneath
Used these tips and made £80 this week from two clubs, I have a chrome polisher and T-Cut, bought those spunges, luckily my mother in law had some astro turf left overs from their garden for some quality pictures going forward!!
@@SASGolf indeed also a soft wire brush is good or rust on clubs if I could send u a picture of my current pitching wedge I got pretty much all the rust off of the face and the cavity of the club!!!

Hi Simon great content as alway don’t know if your interested I’ve just put some benross irons up for sell on eBay R33c3-uk
SAS ebaying (Saturdays n sundays).lol
Wd40 for taking stickers off is a good one to. As for grips si was that a plastic brissel scrubbing brush or are u ok with a pan scowara ok ?
Great tips, I have found that WD40 works really well for removing the sticker residue from shafts safely and easily as well.
I’ve used like Asda 1L bottle of cheap coke to clean my clubs for like 10mins to let the acid get into the grooves and use the toothbrush to clean them. Works a treat!
I also have used a Brillo pad for the grips with warm soapy water and makes the grips like brand new again!
Wd 40 works great on adhesive , also pink stuff is great for shafts and iron heads, magic paint pens work great on dark paint scratches
Good advice 👍 WD40 is great for sticky stuff and for a quick clean over.
Add a bit of dish washing liquid when cleaning the grip.
It pulls oil out left behind by sweaty hands,
I use that and use a scotch brite pad.
Nice and sticky.
To remove old stickers and glue, WD 40 and a paper towel works great.
The magic sponge works a treat on the grips .. May destroy a few sponges but damn it cleans em beautifully 👌👌👌
Lighter fluid - like Ronsonol or Zippo Fluid - will also work to dissolve sticker residue. Gotta work fast though cuz the fluid evaporates pretty quickly.
Tip #6...leave your feet out of the picture.

Nice mate, I like these comments Gary as it’s the only way if learnt what I have so far! Cheers pal.
Beat me to it it with the sandpaper tip for slick and dry grips.
Magic erasers work really well on golf balls also
My bug bear is people who don’t put up a photo of the club face/s. Also poor quality & blurry photos that don’t pinch zoom properly. 🤬

Ajax & a toothbrush works like magic for the grooves.
I have found that gentle brushing with a Brillo pad or a wire brush will slightly raise the rubber on tired grips.
What’s a good time to expect for clubs to sit on eBay before they sell?
A week I would say.
@@SASGolf thank you sir!
Magic Sponge…isn’t that like cleaning the surface with 4000 grit sandpaper & water. May need to polish after???
I’m meant to be editing my wedding photo-album right now Simon but here we are 🤷🏻♂️😂
Haha been there mate! You need a quick break 😉
What can you use for black club faces
Tape off the shaft and use some sandpaper on the older grips. I'll do this when I am not quite ready to re-grip my clubs and it gives them another month or two of new life.
Bleach the industry stuff. Bicarb white wine vinegar and high sugar coke . To polish auto glym liquid wax.
The Magic sponges are great for removing scuff marks on your balls. A soaked one in the bag (they only work when wet) is my tip.
Prices will drop off now football and other sports are returning to normal demand will be less most likely. Hopefully numbers will be up on pre covid still.
Hi Simon, do you have any tips for repairing the white paint on a Taylormade M2 driver? A stone in the practice nets has taken a little chip out of my driver paint just above the face and it’s driving me crazy after keeping it pristine for so long
Good info Simon!!!!! Thanks
The magic marker works wonders. I have a taylormade r1 and RBZ, washed and clean it gives me confidence off the tee
glue can also be removed with paint thinner, acetone or nail polish remover. Essentially all more or less the same product. Just dont use it on plastic or painted surfaces. On stainless steel it should be fine.
Mothers mag polish (car wheels polish) works great for the silver, like your irons.
A steam clean first and a polish with autosol has done wonders for second life sets I've acquired.
Also steam the grips, you Will be amazed at the grime that come out of some of them
The secondary market has gone nuts
I’ve sold years of garage brain damage
Hi Simon, Nice video. What kind of brush were you using on the grips?
3M adhesive remover is incredible on sticky labels
Pitting on steel shafts just rub some tin foil over them and they disappear
New to the channel, good stuff! Where can I get one of those hats you always wear?
In other words ...
Give 'em a scrub before u make them pose ?
Remove old stickers nail varnish removal (non acetone) pads dirt cheap
Very good great ideas also mr sheen on the shafts gets rid of labels and makes them look good .
Any tips on repainting the grooves on a fairway wood?
After all is clean and shiny use automotive wax. Carnauba is best.
A Sharpie for covering up black paint chips always done well for me
would that stay on tho
Tough work with the Masters scrubber. Get yourself a SonicScrubber Household Electrical Cleaning Brush. Thank me later
And just to clarify, I am in no way associated with them!
Where did you get the white Taylor made for 25!?
Sticky labels I use brasso to works well
Get the tommie tippie machine filled up pal
Nice video mate cheers for the good tips 👍
WD40 takes the glue off easily
Come on a photo of the club head with a manky foot and toes in the background will increase the value
I love those ones 😂
As a lefty it's a totally different market looking at clubs, some are so hard to find for a good price
I've noticed that lefty clubs are much cheaper.

Hi Simon, do you have a t-cut colour match for the grey part of an M6 crown? Asking for a friend..........
T-cut doesn't come in colours, its a sort of yellowy polish like liquid that takes a very fine layer of paint off to reveal the fresh clean paint underneath
@@tomstuppence605 Thanks Tom, you are a legend
Nice one Simon
Good tips Simon I use the magic sponges on the clubs I sell now as well. My new PXG arrived today murdered out from top to bottom it looks stunning
Awesome mate about the PXG driver! Great buy. 👌
Was a 40th birthday gift off my brother looking forward to hitting the bad boy. Love the content mate keep up the good work
So much respect for this!
Good stuff 👍
Thanks for the tips Simon any tips for clatter marks on graphite shafts ? thanks

Simon have you any Lefthanded wedges with around 10 degrees of loft 🤔
really enjoy your videos but please find some other words to replace ‘obviously ‘ and ‘basically’ ….,
Fair enough mate. Il work on that. 👍
