Morning Gaz. I always clean my grips, to start with, mix washing powder and neat fairy liquid together in to a paste. I then work the mixture in to the grip. Then Lather it up with water and nail brush. Finally wash it all off with fairy liquid and water 👌🏼. Makes iomic grips feel amazing
Well done gaz 🏌♂️ 👍
Gaz, you missed a great opportunity at 5:02
You’re extremely professional 😉
Never used washing powder on my grip always washing liquid , thanks for the tip. I do know that washing powder is great for cleaning a burned Saucepan☺☺.. To clean grips and shafts I use Steel Wool grest for removing shaft pitting
Hey Gary had this issue with shaft bands before . I have found peeling off plastic and the putting good quality cello tape makes them look as good as new. ( just cut tape to same size )
Great series 👍
I need to wait for a few days for what I want to see. Will be worthwhile I am sure. Just hope what I need is available here in Thailand. If not, get my brother in Elland to send to me. Washing powder is no problem.
I sort of think using the events lady to test the grips on your shafts was a moment of comedy genius for all the schoolboy humour buffs great video.
Yeah I want to see the head referb
Hi gaz.
Played 2 weeks ago in the rain.
Got them out yesterday and noticed little spots of rust on all my shafts.any tips whats the best thing to use as I don't want to f#@k them up.
Keep up the great work fella
Gary, I have that same set purchased from eBay in 2020. Those have the dot between the 690 and the MB which means they are 1/4" longer and one degree more upright. Also, the 690MB were manufactured in 2002 and the 690.MB were manufactured in 2005. Maybe you already knew this?
Thanks for the washing powder tip. I think I'd be inclined to leave the shaft bands on so that if you re sell the buyer would know they are matching shafts.
Washing Powder for the grips. Interesting. I will try that next time. I use washing up liquid but scrub dry with a towel.
Love those irons Gaz!
I use Dawn liquid soap on mine about once a month. Dawn really cuts the oil and sweat
Lovely Vid thanks mate. I do question how often you get ladies from the office to close their eyes and hold out their hands …
😂
You should have a sit down with Robbo and teach him how to clean his clubs too Gaz! 😂 Also if one doesn't have white spirit available, zippo lighter fuel works a treat for taking off glue residue from shaft bands / price stickers etc.
I cleaned my grips with window cleaner spray from Aldi and it works brilliantly 😮
I use swafega orange with bits in it on my grips, I find that works well. I do soak the grips for a few minutes in the warn water, before scrubing them.
"Close your eyes Sarah, I'm gonna put a bunch of shafts in your hand. Tell me which one's dirty and sweaty and needs a good soapy going over."

I purchased dynamic gold shaft decals on eBay to get mine back looking real sharp. £10 from the states!!
Oh man Tom showing he doesn't watch the videos haha.
Give elbow grease a try (yellow spray) cleans up grips a treat and brings the tacky feel back
I wash mine with dish soap and a toothbrush, but I don't have sweaty hands and do it after every round. We've got a product over in Canada called Goo Gone that strips residue beautifully.
Gaz, I clean my grips every week during the season as I play 4-5 times a week.
Just remind people to NOT sink the grip into the water. You can get water into the shaft through the grip hole at the butt end of the grip. This will get inside the shaft and you can end up with rust down the shaft. You hit a shot and the clubhead goes flying off. Reshafting time.
i have Winn DriTac grips on my clubs. Can I clean them the same way? The material is a little different than what your club grips are?
Great restoration work so far Gaz, looking forward to seeing you do the heads
The best way to clean grips is to use Lava soap. Take the bar and rub it on the grip, use a brush to scrub the grip, rinse and repeat on the other clubs!!
