I use one of the kind of waffle-weave microfiber towels, it works fine for me, and I think they're available at most golf stores.

I had one of these but it disappeared after last year which is why I started looking into a more useful towel.

With intentions to post a funny comment here, I googled "golf towel pants" hoping to find a picture of pants made from a golf towel, etc.. As usual, the Internet (and the golf industry) did not disappoint. A product along those lines already exists and it sounds like a game changer per the marketing video - maybe even capable of cleaning the "suck" off of a set of Pings (reference to an adjacent thread)...

When I began as a caddie, yo these many years ago, I was told to always carry a full-sized bath towel, keeping one half wet and the other dry.  It worked perfectly then, and still does today.

It worries me a bit when we've gotten to the point that we need a specialty item to wipe dirt off something....

I'm with you. I wipe my club off after every shot with a regular towel, I don't get wet, and my clubs are clean. I swear some people have more dollars than sense! Especially when pros wipe their clubs on their pants cuffs just before hitting the shot!

That is a remarkably dramatic video for such a goofy product.  If you want a towel dangling off your pants, just get a towel with a gromet and carabiner and hook it to a belt loop.

I have three golf towels: one was from a charity tournament, one was a birthday gift, and one I bought from a course I like.

    • They sure do. 158 with an 8 iron is on the high end for me
    • Went back to controlling my knees. That part was getting a bit sloppy when I worked on my backswing. Right hip didn't slide or gain internal rotation. I would just rotate back and around and the left knee would be in a bad spot. Really focusing now on keeping my left knee very stable and straighter in the backswing. I can't go back to the old pattern of overturning the hips. I was returning to my old pattern to time my downswing. Turn forever.  Left knee controls both knees and hips, acting as an anchor. Feel like it straightens a bit.   Hinge sooner and faster. Not in a way that sends the hands out and flips the club over. I still noticed when the hands get to A2.5, the hands would want to flip over and flatten the club out a ton.  Still trying to figure out how to roll the forearms a bit open and not just roll the club inside a ton.  Figure out the timing to get the hands down. Still getting a bit of right elbow collapsing in the downswing because the arms are too high when I turn. Everything is happening sooner now. If the hips are controlled, the backswing is shortened. Because it is shortened I don't know when to get the hands down and I just turn because the downswing is a go.  Very slow (50%) swings are decent.
