Tips & Warnings

If your grips become too smooth, try rubbing them with a wire brush or fine sandpaper.

Waxes to protect your irons and woods are available at golf shops.

Use covers for club heads to keep them clean and prevent scratches and chipping.

Using steel wool on any non-rusted part of your club can cause permanent damage, and you should use it gently on rusted areas.
