What to use to clean Irons & Wedge grooves during round???

currently i use a small tee to clean the grooves off the irons & wedges when getting dirty. however, tee has become less & less sharper. i know i can get another tee but was trying to see if i can use something that will be permanantly.

i know about the wet towel & such but was looking for an equipment like a small tee but i guess doesn't wear.

thanks in advance.

I use a brass and nylon brush and a wet towel... why would you want anything else when this combo works to perfection?

I have a scrubbing brush I cut along the short side and put a lightweight chain through with a chainring holding it together. Then wipe the clubs down with a towel.

Not to state that this is a fact but i was recently out at golf galaxy looking at those brass nylon combo brushes and one of the employees told me that the brass side of that brush will damage the face of your clubs. I actually wanted some clarification on this too

If the brush is just nylon and brass it should not hurt an iron or wedge since most if not all are steel or steel alloy ( stainless ) true brass is softer and won't cut into them. Drivers, fairway woods and hybrids are softer and should only be cleaned with a wet towel. The brushes to stay away from are the phosphor bronze. They are harder than brass and can hurt club faces.

In hot weather, you have to wet down your club towel every three holes or so. Good to have second dry towel for hands.

If you play on sticky clay turf, it's hard to keep grooves or ball clean.

Focus, connect and follow through!

what about those frogger brushes, do they damage irons and wedges?

Nope. Those are actually the best kind of brushes to buy. I had one (Until I lost it....because I'm amazing at losing things....) and it worked wonders. But, I stick to a wet towel now. Ever notice how clean and free of dirt your grooves are in your clubs when someone cleans them with a wet towel after your round (if done right)? A wet towel is the best thing for a dirty club. You can also get your frustrations out by rubbing as hard as you can and you won't damage your club

And afterwards, you'll be like "OO SHINY". And get distracted. And play terribly. It's a win-win situation.

I've used other brushes before but finally last spring I bought the frogger and couldn't be happier. Great brush, groove cleaner, etc. The changeable head is awesome. On top of that the retractable cord and big handle make it so easy to use. Highly recommended!

Hilarious...wouldn't be caught dead with a brush on a golf course. Wet towel is all you need.

    • Day 12: Same as last couple days, but focus was on recentering aspect of flow. When I recenter earlier I make decent contact most swings but if I recenter late or not at all it’s a roll of the dice. 
    • A couple of things.  Some of the clubs in your bag should be dropped immediately.  A 2-iron for example with what obviously seems to be a lower swing speed or possibly not great swing yet is a definite no-no.  To be hitting that 120-140 yards, which I assume includes run, is a sign that you are not getting the ball airborne at the correct angle to maximise distance.  The reason your 3 and 5 hybrid are going the same distance is that your launch angle is better with the 5.  Loft is your friend. Ideally I would suggest going to a golf or sporting store where you can hit golf balls on a simulator without being disturbed to understand your club carry distances and hopefully swing speed.  With that information we can definitely guide you better.
    • Let us be clear, unless you have proof of cheating, you just sound like a case of sour grapes.  In our club we have a guy who won club titles for many years.  Yes, he was a low single digit handicapper, but there have been quite a few others who played at his level.  Yet his mental strength and experience helped him win in many years when he shouldn't have.  Did he sandbag.  DEFINITELY NOT.  Did he just minimize his mistakes and pull out shots as and when needed.  Definitely.
    • Day 111 - Worked on my grip and higher hands in the backswing. Full swings with the PRGR. 
    • First off please forgive me if this is not a proper post or not in the proper location, still learning the ropes around here. Second, it's important that I mention I am very new to the game with only about 10 rounds of golf under my belt, most being 9 holes. Only this year have I started playing 18. That being said, I am hooked, love the game and am very eager to learn and improve. To give you an idea of my skill, the last 2 18 rounds I played were 110 and 105. Not great at all, however I am slowly improving as I learn. Had been having bad slicing issues with the driver and hybrids but after playing some more and hitting the range, I've been able to improve on that quite a bit and have been hitting more straight on average. Irons have always come easier to me as far as hitting straight for some reason. Wedges have needed a lot of improvement, but I practice chipping about 20-30 mins about 3-5 times a week and that's helped a lot. Today I went to the range and started to note down some distance data, mind you I am averaging the distances based off my best guess compared to the distance markers on the range. I do not currently own a range finder or tracker. From reading some similar posts I do understand that filling gaps is ideal, but I am having a some issues figuring out those gaps and understanding which clubs to keep and remove as some gaps are minimal between clubs. Below is an image of the chart I put together showing the clubs and average distances I've been hitting and power applied. For some reason I am hitting my hybrids around the same distances and I am not sure why. Wondering if one of them should be removed. I didn't notice a huge loft difference either. The irons I have are hand me downs from my grandfather and after playing with them a bit, I feel like they're just not giving me what could potentially be there. The feel is a bit hard/harsh and underwhelming if that makes sense and I can't seem to get decent distances from them. Wondering if I should be looking to invest in some more updated irons and if those should be muscle backs or cavity backs? My knowledge here is minimal. I have never played with modern fairway woods, only the classic clubs that are actually wood and much smaller than modern clubs. I recently removed the 4 and 5 woods from my bag as I was never using them and I don't hit them very well or very far. Wondering if I should look into some more modern fairway wood options? I appreciate any feedback or advice anyone is willing to give, please forgive my lack of knowledge. I am eager to learn! Thank you.
