Hey, I'm looking at getting a new towel b/c I feel my current one isn't large enough. I wanted to know what size towel most of you guys use. Thanks.

haha I did the same thing.  I don't use a "golf towel" just any hotel towel will do.  I just poke a hole in it to hang on my bag.


With spring approaching (not soon enough), go check out the demo days many club companies put on. Towels are usually one of the giveaways. I scored 2 free ones last spring and you just can't beat free!

I just use a white bath towel from my house. It's probably about 30x15", I find it to be a good size and I can use it without washing for about 3 rounds.

Are microfiber towels worth the extra cash? There are reviews that are very positive buuuuuut I don't know... I'm liking the Holiday Inn method I'm reading. Haha

Opinions?


I use a medium-size bath towel. You can get them for about $3 during department store linen sales. Get one in a color that matches your bag - the color won't show stains as much after washing as a white towel. Or, you can use a midsize bath towel that's too worn for normal use - the ladies would say it "looks bad on the towel rack" and spoils the WC decor.

(It will take some convincing that the $19 microfiber towel will outperform my $3 towel).

If it's hot and damp during the summer, I'll add a small hand towel (for clubs and ball) and use the bath towel for my hands.

I like to use a fairly large one as I like to wet one end because I don't wear a glove and it helps to get the oils and such off when sweating in the heat.  I prefer to use the bath towels myself, only because I don't find the "golf" towels that name brand companies put out big enough and usually too expensive.

When it comes to cleaning golf clubs, I don't think the microfiber helps all that much. The main purpose is to wipe off drit and water, something any towel will be able to. Mine are as large as possible without getting in the way and going all the way down to the ground when attached to the bag.

+1 on this for me.  Buy decent bath towels on the cheap, keep one end wet and you're good to go.

Also +1 on a separate towel for hands and face.

I use a towel that is at least 22x40 and have used medium bath towels too.  I wet 1/4 of it and drape it over my bag umbrella or the cart windshield.  The towel is so important to my game because I also do not wear a glove and will wipe down my grip before each shot.

I just read a review on one of the microfiber towels that are out there:

"Most towels do an OK job of managing these tasks, but is an OK job really good enough for you? If you demand quality in all aspects of the golf you play then you definitely should not be settling for some cotton bath towel to get the job done."

Unfortunately, I don't know if I'm comfortable with the quality of my game (or lack thereof) being overshadowed by the quality of my TOWEL. haha


Maybe there will be a towel fitting at my local golf shop soon to get the most technically advanced towel to enhance my performance off the tee and around the greens.

When I bought my R11 I picked up the matching towel for my bag.  I was very surprised because my previous R9 towel was IMO on the very smallish size, but when I unfolded the R11 towel it was double the size.  Here is a pic of how big it is.

I carry 2 towels at all time.  One is about the same size as this R11 towel, and used to clean clubs after every shot.  The second is about 1/2 this size and goes with me to every green.  I use it to keep my golf balls clean before putting and in the summer is my sweat towel.

    • Hi all. I've joined as a TST sponsor and while I don't intend to bombard your forums with product plugs ad nauseum, I wanted to put a bit of philosophy behind how I've trod this path. Although I've only been playing golf since COVID, I've realised there are minute changes in golf setups that impact performance like no other sport I have played/contested in my life. Recently I made a super small change to my grip (using a trigger index finger on my trail hand) that has improved my ball striking dramatically. It blows my mind. I love being so involved in something that my spare moments are spent analysing how I played and how I can improve. (I recently looked at my stats and my worst pickup holes are Par 5s - I actually play the lowest index holes better than the rest - what he heck?? Mental game after bad shots and concentration needs work there methinks) And when the small changes matter so much, we need to ensure there is a strategic approach to improvement. Incremental change is critical. Don't deviate from what is known without understanding that any change affects another. This is where the concept for my training aids was born. Something Erik shared a long time ago - The Virtue of being a Stupid Monkey - stole way too much of my spare time this week pondering. Do I want to know WHAT to do, or do I want to know WHY to do it? It is indeed the what. I've always been a "Try it, and if it works, keep doing until something better springs to mind." A sore back or knee will ruin your round. Do you want to to know how to play around it, or do you need to understand why it's happening? I'll go into more detail on this soon. In the meantime, here's a video that wraps up the basics of SwingMate, the flagship product. Thanks for having me!  
    • Possibly, deffo trying to weaken my right hand somewhat. Left hand I believe is fine as I'm mostly fingers there with grip under the fat pad. But my lesson tomorrow will hopefully shed some light
    • I'm not sure.  What could this do that any of the documentaries on this dude haven't already done? I will say, I remember this unfolding in real life back in the day. My sister and I watched this as it happened. Then we heard about the fact that the studio wasn't going to pay him. But then they finally did pay him. 
    • Could also be how you align your wrists and rotate your forearms. Not sure you are re-gripping the club. There is nothing noticeable in the videos. I do agree with the grip being very strong in the right hand. Also, maybe too much in the palm of the left hand.
