Somebody told me I should leave the stickers on my new irons (i.e., the ones that say Rifle Flighted 6.0), and I said "Why?" As far as I can tell they serve no purpose, since you should presumably be able to remember what your club's stiffness is.

Anybody out there leave them on? If so, why?

i have inexplicable issues with squaring my clubface at address. the sticker on my shaft helps me keep my face square.

works really well with the putter as well.

I actually never even noticed the sticker to square the clubface. I usually use my grip and align the brand name to square it.

As to leave or keep the stickers, I'd just keep it. It's not like it obstructs or distracts your view right?

If you plan to keep your clubs for a long time then do what you want (well, they are your clubs so do what you want no matter what). If you think you may want to sell in a year or two you will get better re-sale if the stickers are on the shafts.

In my Datrek Rage bag:
Driver: Sumo 5000 w/ Aldila VS Proto Stiff
4-Wood: SasQuatch 2 w/ Diamana Stiff
Irons: AP2 4-PW w/ PX 6.0
Wedges: Zodia US Spec 52*, Yururi Gekku 57*, 588 DSG RTG+Putter: Scotty Cameron Studio Style 3.5 or Odyssey White Hot Tour #1Ball: ProV1 or whatever I find!

True! The first thing I do with new irons is strip the stickers. I like a clean look and I try to square the face by looking at the leading edge. If you want to remove the sticker residue, GooGone hands down is the best for this. You can get it at WalMart.

Goo Gone does work really well for sticker removal (and smells great), but a hair dryer works just as fast or faster and with less mess - for steel shafts anyway, I've never tried it with graphite.

a bit of wd-40 works great as well. if you're really desperate, just rub a bit of mineral oil or cooking oil on it to soften up the goop.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      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.
