Coca-cola.

I've heard that if you aren't careful Coke will tear right through the chrome too. I've also heard WD-40 works well.

In my bag:

Driver: Titleist TSi3 | 15º 3-Wood: Ping G410 | 17º 2-Hybrid: Ping G410 | 19º 3-Iron: TaylorMade GAPR Lo |4-PW Irons: Nike VR Pro Combo | 54º SW, 60º LW: Titleist Vokey SM8 | Putter: Odyssey Toulon Las Vegas H7

Tried it with an old wedge that I found lying around and it worked wonders without damaging the chrome.

From http://www.mizunousa.com/faqs.nsf/get?openform÷=golf :

My forged irons have rust showing up on the face of the club, what should I do?
Forged heads are made of mild carbon steel that is chrome plated. Once you start hitting golf balls, you scratch the surface of the chrome and eventually expose the raw steel to moisture, and chemicals that can cause rust to form. The best way to minimize rust is to keep the irons dry at all times, wipe them after every shot and at the end of the round with a dry cloth. When cleaning, use only a NYLON brush (no metal) and dry them with a dry towel. If you get some rust forming, spray the surface with WD-40, clean with a soft nylon brush or Scotchbrite pad and wipe them clean with a dry cloth. Some high nitrogen fertilizers, sandy soil conditions and water with high iron content can accelerate the production of rust. The use of iron head covers is not recommended as they trap moisture and accelerate the production of rust.

Do you think it is a problem to have your clubs standing in minus degrees. Right now i put them in the garrage which is dry but often very cold.

It would only be a problem if you bring them into the house a lot due to condensation. IF they stay cold and dry,then they'll rust slower. How many ball do you hit that MP-52s would be rusting already?

Thanks for the answer.

Hehe they are not, only 1 season old. I just left my clubs in the garrage and right now its -10 and night and was wondering if it´s healthy for them to stay there. It is gonna be 3 more month before i come home. I am Currently in Brazil, hello 35 degrees :)

I guess it depends on HOW cold. I don't know if the cold affects the epoxy in the hosel but I wouldn't feel right leaving my clubs in a 5* garage here in Minnesota. Sadly, they are put away in the house for the winter. Only 4 more months to go....

Personally, I wouldn't leave a driver or fairway wood in the garage all winter.

When I was in gradeschool (looooong ago), some of the fathers worked for the Coca-Cola bottling plant. They got free Coke for our picnics - but they wouldn't allow kids below sixth grade to drink it. They told us they used the syrup - before the sugar was added - to clean the machines.

Raise the pH and you've probably used it to cleaned your walls before painting (TSP). Leave it where it is, and maybe you have some under the kitchen sink for cleaning hard water from your electric kettle (CLR).

Yet people still use iron covers.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
