When cleaning my clubs, do I also wash the grips? I read somewhere that if you washed the grips with soapy water that it will make them tacky. I need tacky. Tacky is good.

How do you guys clean your clubs? What do you use for cleaning besides water?

The grip trick lasts for about half a round. If your grips are slick, replace them. Lots of guys use steel wool. It's just a temporary fix.

I've learned, through replacing tons of grips, that having a long lasting, yet cheap grip is the best. I use Golf Pride Tour Velvets, they're about 1.65USD each and last a long time. Cheap and they feel nice. Then it's only 25 bucks or so to replace my whole set.

Clean your irons with soap and water...WD40 is a great cleaner for painted metal woods.

Mine are brand new and were SHINEY the other day...not anymore. LOL. I think I wil clean mine at least every other round. The grips arent slick at all, but I wanted to make sure I take care of them.

I use dawn dish washing liquid, but any grease cutting soap will work.

The average grip will last 1 1/2 seasons. I know a lot of people don't change them that often but they will be worn and cleaning won't help for long.

I never clean my grips I just use them and when they need replacing I replace them. Today I just put a new grip on my sandwedge, and I also cleaned my clubs. So now they are all shiny lol.

I sometimes spit on my clubfaces and wipe them with my bag towel. Works great.
