Do you put leave the stickers on your golf clubs? I take them off compulsively... I can't do otherwise. I started pulling the stickers and now I can't stop.

I take the stickers off. I figure they play stiffer with the stickers.

But mostly, I figure the heat is gonna make a mess of them real quick... and Goo Gone works wonders.

Other than my Scotty's I take them off, I just like the naked look. As far as graphite shafts go I have them spined so however the logo ends up is how it ends up.

only off my putter - it's better to have less visual distractions. Irons and wedges? Couldn't care less

I take off all the extraneous stickers that are put on as either a sales aid (like the stickers Cleveland and Callaway use to warn you that raw wedges will rust) or inventory aid (stickers with bar codes and prices). But I leave on the shaft bands, the stickers that display the flex of the shaft. If they start looking grody, then the Goo Gone comes out and I go commando.

Ditto this. I hadn't assumed that shaft bands counted as "stickers" in my previous response.

Yeah, good correction. I take off shaft bands and any other stickers. I like the freedom

Current standings are 6 5 and 2 (on, off, don't care). I'm surprised so many people leave them on? Why? Not the shaft bands, but the stickers themselves with bar codes and things? Why?

I absolutely take those off, but I don't really worry about the goup that's left behind. I leave the bands on, mostly because I never know (remember) what type of shaft I'm using.

I see plenty of clubs in the used bins that still have sales stickers on them from the initial sale.

I think this is like leaving all the stickers on your computer/printer/digital camera. My parents do that, and it drives me nuts. Like you're going to suddenly need to look at your Windoze box and see that "Intel Inside" sticker for some reason...

I don't like graphite shafts that have busy graphics, but they don't bother me much as long as they are confined to the top portion of the shaft, near the grip. But anything down toward the hosel makes me crazy, and that's where most of the stickers I see on shafts are. It would bug me to the extreme to leave them on.

LOL. I jacked this thread up when I said "stickers." I would no sooner leave sales stickers on my golf equipment than I would leave the manufacturers tags on a pair of pants. What I meant was _shaft_bands_. Technically shaft bands are stickers. But I digress. I take stickers and shaft bands off!

      Day 47: simulator day! Played St. Andrew’s and shot a +1. Not bad, especially with having to putt at this simulator set up. Had about 5 minutes at the end to work on some feels as well.

      I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.
