What Should I use to clean my golf clubs?
I just bought some nice Adams irons (used) and the previos knucklehead owner didnt take time to get the gunk out of the club face grooves. So now, grass/dirt from last golf season is compacted and hardened. How should I go about getting these real clean? Would soaking them in hot soapy water and scrubbing them be sufficient? The gunk is super hard and the metal bristles on my brush barely helped. Any tips would be great!
I've never seen clubs this gunky. I know I can find a way to get them clean, but it may not make the clubs look the best afterwards. I'm hoping some of you have experience with this.
I'm not an idiot, I know how to clean clubs, but these are kinda bad. I can get them clean, but my ways would end up blemishing the finish which i dont want. I'm sure some of you have experience with this.
lol Sorry for the 3rd part, yahoo screwed up and it said to repost...but i apparently didnt have to.
Dear J Bone,
Removing the debris in the grooves, (designated as corrugation in the golf industry), should not be so troublesome if you are certain the debris is dirt, grass and natural elements on a golf course. The former owner may have practiced on artificial mats at a driving range. You can identify this condition by viewing some of the debris as it will remain in the form of bright green particles whereas natural debris would be a browish color. By carefully removing a small piece of the debris from the most gunked up club with an exacto knife or other sharp tool. I use dental picks. Remove the sample debris near the end of the groove not in the middle of the club face so as not to cause any damage. Again, don't gouge or use excessive pressure.
I assume the irons are cast stainless steel and not forged plated carbon steel which oxidizes with the loss of plating, the consequence of which is rust being in the grooves. Adams Golf has their clubs cast in the Orient most in China and even stainless steel clubs can have very small particles of metal which rusts as the casting facilities don't always use refined ingots but add scrap stainless to the melt. However, I can't imagine that stainless steel clubs would have the level of impurities sufficient to clog all the grooves on an entire set of irons.
If you have identified the debris as natural simply soak the heads in water. Try not to have the water reach the level of the ferrules especially if you are going to use hot water and some type of cleaning solution which I don't recommend. After a 24 hour soak in tap water the debris should be loose enougth to begin removal with a non metal tool like a bamboo skewer or even an old ball point pen. Your goal is to begin to break down the debris even if you need to re soak the heads again and take another layer of the crud out. Do not use any type of wire brush at this time. The groove area on the face has one of a variety of finishes applied by blasting the face with various mediums such as nut shells, sand, bead or glass. The debris if natural should now be gone. Use a magnifying glass to examine the grooves. They may be V-shaped, square or box and maybe a modified u groove. I don't recommend using a hardened steel scoring line tool which some club builders buy from Golfsmith or Golfworks. Without a proper nesting die and ability to apply a consistent pressure these tools can ruin a club! Once you surpass the depth parameters of a conforming club you can not go back and do a fix.
Note: If the grooves have debris in the form of plastic residue from hitting mats apply a small amount of acetone with an eye dropper or Q-tip then use a tooth brush to remove the debris. Rinse immediately with water. Use extreme caution not to get acetone where there is a paint fill, on the ferrules or incapsulated medalions used solely for cosmetic purposes. Acetone will melt a ferrule in a blink of an eye and will require the removal of the heads to install new ferrules. During assembly acetone is often used to polish the ferrule using a linen belt.
When I refinish iron heads I use a pressure washer to quickly clean the grooves. Now is a good time to detail the club heads and get the maximum like new look possible. Automotive parts stores have cam shaft polish which you can use on a 0000 steel wool pad to brighten the club heads. DO NOT use this step if the clubs are a satin finish unless you can practice one some other old club first. The diminishing cosmetic look of your clubs is mostly due to percussion marks from the heads banging into one another when on a golf cart or carried and dropped to the ground.
Good luck and let us know how everything worked out. All players should pay close attention to the condition of their clubs. I can imagine the former owner complaining he couldn't put enough back spin on the ball while he had enough dirt on his equipment to grow a garden!
Great question.
