Not sure if the is the right section but i was wondering how i should clean my TM R7 irons. I usually junk dunk the iron head in soapy water and scrub. I dont know if i should do this with my R7 because water gets behind the plate on the back of the iron and it could rust.

thanks

I'm slightly concerned about that too with my TP irons....... So far, no issues... But I've only had them for a few months.

The only places my irons get dirty are on the face and sole of the club head. So I just dip a brush in hot water and then scrub the sole and the face.

I have the Burner Plus irons and I was told the best way to do this was to use soapy water and let them air dry. I put hot water in a bucket with soap and use a brush to get in the grooves. Then I rinse them off and dry them with a towel and then let them sit over night to air dry.

Air dry them overnight. I usually face the cavity down so the water drains and then face them up so the rest of teh water can evaporate. If your really anal, take your hair drier to the cavity.

Good info...I just got my R7's yesterday! Regarding the grips...assuming they are nothing exotic, and the standard TM rubber grips, should some mild soap and water be fine?

Regards,

just joined the r7 club. I am ecstatic with these and think I have finally found a set that will suit me well. With my old irons (and I assume with these) I usually take some hot water, mild dish soap, and an old toothbrush to clean them. I rinse with water, let them air dry for a bit, then dry them off with terry cloth. Lately this has been done after every round, I have become somewhat obsessed with cleaning my clubs (it's like I am wiping away all of the bad strokes I just hit so they don't carry over to the next round, too bad the bad strokes are always there though...)

    • I feel that the stock grips on my Wilson D9's are a little thin.  The grips on my other clubs (purchased used online and sold by me a couple months ago) were Golf Pride and they looked like the wrapped version.  I will say they felt like they had a little more cushion.  I don't have particularly large hands.  Did the grips on my other clubs have more tape or was just a better feeling softer grip?  I have no idea.  Well, any brands you would recommend that have a softer feel? 
    • So this situation happened. A bunker in front of the green was full of water. My ball was underwater in the very back of the bunker furthest from the green. There was a small patch on the front upslope of the bunker nearest the green that theoretically could have been used to hit from if the ball was placed.  A drop would just roll back into the water. And this was the only part of the bunker you might be able to get a stance without standing in water. So my question is do you hit from that small front slope even though you would have to move the ball 6-7 closer to the pin? Or do you drop outside the bunker making sure you are no closer to the pin? I dropped in front of the bunker, so I had to chip over the whole bunker. Was this the right call? Also could I have moved it latterly outside the bunker, although this wouldn’t have made much difference as my ball was pretty much as far back in the bunker as you could be away from the hole.
    • I just got my shotscope v5 watch and used it yesterday. Its fairly accurate at the course I was playing so I did not use my rangefinder at all. I was able to calculate what club i needed from that.

    • Why?  You would never be waiting on me.  I am one of the fastest players you will ever run into on the golf course.  I am extremely fit and almost always the first to the green and the first to the next tee box.  When I play with my 16 year old step son who is a 3 handicap, he tells me to slow down.  Also,  what does it take me?  40 seconds round trip to walk off 30 yards?  (which is the max I walk off)  I like to have a look at the break around the hole which helps me to hole out chips which I did for birdie from 27 yards just the other day.  I also do this while waiting on my playing partners to catch up to me so you need not worry about being irritated, I can pretty much guarantee you that you could not keep up with me on the golf course.  🙂
