After getting back into everyday practice, I have some pretty good callouses going on. Two of them are getting big enough to be a pain, base of left pinkie and last joint of right ••••-you finger. What do you guys do with these when they get annoying?

both sounds rather painful. I think the best removal method would be to soak your hands in water then file the callous gently. Dont take off too much.

Absentmindedly tear at with other hand, apply bandage, repeat.

PS. File - wet or dry.

Preemptive attack for me. When I start to feel one develop, I start applying my wife's Nivia cream. Works great!

I have plenty of callouses but have never found them to be annoying. Wouldn't ever think to file them off...

What I find annoying is when the callous forms and then subsequent pressure kind of squishes it into a ridge or peak that either hurts or just plain gets in the way of your grip. My wife says I have the hands of freaking ditch digger nowadays, but I just tell her maybe she could stand to wrap her own soft fingers around a shaft a bit more often. Nudge nudge wink wink, say no more.

I cut them off with fingernail clippers when they get too big. The key is not to take off too much.

I leave them be. Weight lifting, golf, tennis and hockey haven't given my any that became so big to be that big of a bother. Couldn't imagine cutting or filing at them...

PS: I just leave them alone for the most part. I use a nail to scratch of the top layer of dead skin, but that is more of nervous habit then any maintainence routine

You don't really feel it when you cut them. The skin on a callus is pretty much dead skin anyway. You can cut a good chunk off and you won't feel it. It's kind of like cutting your finger nails.
