How often do you wipe/clean your irons/wedges?

[Tmiller72]

I wipe my clubs after every shot. I start with a clean towel made from the finest Egyptian cotton. I wet 27% of the towel with distilled water that I carry with me in the cart. I wipe the face of the club in an east to west fashion at a rapid pace making sure to maintain a constant pace with firm pressure. This normally does the job, but in those rare cases that it doesn't I carry in my bag a 6" brush made with a Beechwood handle and Japanese hedgehog hair. Instead of the east to west motion that i use with the towel, I use a swirl pattern while applying light pressure to the brush. This finishes the cleaning phase and I move on to the drying phase. To dry the club I insert it into the solar powered dryer that is attached to the back of the cart. In 30-60 seconds the club is dry and ready to be placed back into the bag. This whole process only take 3-5 minutes depending on the amount of dirt on the clubface. My rounds usually last 5-6 hours because of this, but my clubs are always in pristine condition. Hope this helps, good luck!!

I wash mine after every round and wipe them off after every shot. Always dry your iron heads and your putter, My i5's started to develop small rust spots on the back after a year of letting them air dry. I dry my i10's after I wash the club head, it's a real hassle to get all the way in the cavity, but worth it.

I must be neurotic but I clean my clubs, or irons specifically, after each shot.

I usually have a wet rage in the back cart.

 

 

Rage has no place on the golf course man.. :russian_roulette:

 

You're absolutely correct! Especially "wet rage." :clapping:

 

And yes, I try to wipe mine off after each shot, too. But they're new.

[cjblake09]

After each shot. You need them clean to get the best spin.

[sssteven]

A quick once-over after every shot (with water and a brush/towel) and a complete detailing after every round (warm water, dishwashing soap and a toothbrush).

This is my regime too. Has served me well and given me excellent resale/trade in value.

:clapping: i agree...probably one of the best posts i've ever read here.

I clean the grooves after every shot because it just looks terrible and the second I get home they are cleaned, sometimes when I can't play I clean them just for fun.

[Offset]

I clean them after I finish playing with them. I try to baby my clubs as mush as possible. I hate seeing them dirty.

[jshel]

Wow, I think I could get some of you a job at my club if you clean clubs as well as you say.

 

I clean mine some during the round, but certainly not after every shot. And then the bag room guys use dirty towels (or maybe I should say dirty rage) and dirty water on them.

 

I probably clean the grips and give them a good once over every 6 weeks or two months.

[SPY ZINGER]

Yeah, after every shot for me...

[thor73]

After every shot and before I put the club(s) back in the bag. I usually have a wet rage in the back cart.

 

If I'm walking, I'll dip part of my towel in some water.

 

 

ditto

[Bite Bite]

I wipe my irons/wedges after every shot and have a brush in the bag in case I get dirt in the grooves. When I get home I run them under warm water and use a scrub brush to clean the grooves.

 

I'm the exact same way. I don't keep them perfectly clean on the course but I wipe them with my towel after my shots, but when I get home I give them a scrubbing. You don't need soap or any special cleaners... just water and a firm bristled scrub brush.

[HEMIPHIL]

Always have part of my towel wet. Wipe them off after each shot. Clean them all again, once I get home.

[letsgolf]

Maybe I'm anal, but after EVERY shot. That is an absolute must with forged irons, and to maximize performance of the grooves.

[kman71]

After every shot...

[obsessed_golfer]

Like most guys here, wipe them with my towel after each shot, and then a good washing in hot water and soap once I get home.

 

My son never cleans his clubs and it drives me nuts!

[blkdiamond]

I will attempt to keep my clubs clean throughout a round, at least the grooves. Then, if I have time I clean them with soapy water and a nylon brush after every round or at least once per week. Grips get cleaned once every few weeks. I really hate having dirty clubs.

[GDWindowpane]

How are you cleaning the grips? Wet rage, wet rage with soapy water, something else?

 

Thanks!!!

[Bomb and Gouge]

I use dish soap, a soft tooth brush. And then a little wet rage rinse. Then I dry rage them.

[cloudlx]

after every single round

[gandor]

every time after practice or round

[mtsmith]

after every shot

[sharkhark]

i chose 'right after a round' in poll...but only because right after every shot was...not a choice.

I have a towel that i have attached an after market brush to middle of....so every shot i do the old spit on face, scrub quickly, dry off, put away.

No need for a big clean up that way, takes literally less than 10 seconds. Every half dozen or so rounds i scrub the grips and thoroughly clean clubs.

[Tee1Up]

After each shot and then a thorough cleaning at home after each round.

[The Chicken Connoisseur]

lol rage

[blozzy]

Wipe them off after every shot and clean them with a soft brush after every round.

[cigarnut81]

I voted right after a round but I actually clean my clubs after every shot I take.

[finalist]

after each shot. What's the point of grooves if they're filled with dirt?
