Soaking them in Coke? Whats the purpose of that? Just curious.

Buffing wheel and buffing compound will help if the scratches are not gouged through or deep into the chrome.

I use the wet/dry towel method on the course. You gotta keep your grooves clean during the round.

Once winter comes to Ohio (even though we play all year round if it is above freezing and there is no snow on the ground), I fill up the down stairs bathroom sink (so I can watch the golf channel on my BIG screen TV) with warm soapy water and clean the head, and then use Comet (R) cleanser (the powder stuff) on the grips with a nylon brush, with a warm water rinse.

Don't forget your grips Gals and Guys. Clean grips are more important than shiny heads....

Coke is actually a pretty good chrome cleaner. Which kind of makes you wonder why we would drink it! I don't think it will repair major scratches, but if they are just surface scratches it will probably clean them up so they aren't as noticeable.

Thanks guys for the info.

I'm gonna try the "coke" method and see what happens. Hopefuuly that will do away with some srcathes. If that doesnt work I will break out the buffer wheel.

Anything that is semi acidic (vinegar, coke, etc) will polish up chrome and some other metals pretty nicely. But that is why coke is so bad for your teeth as well.

Vinegar works better but I just can't stand the smell. I'm a chem teacher so I got some tricks up my sleeves.

You mean I am supposed to clean them? Now that explains a lot.

Although they are usually pretty clean after I fish them out of the water hazard.

Also, if coke works, what about diet coke? My clubs are on a low carb diet...I don't want them getting all fat like that driver.

I clean my grips with alcohol .
I just use water and a nylon brush for the heads and grooves.

I think I will start trying the wet towel method on the course like others have mentioned.

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
    • I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
