FairwayNinja1 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Just a curious question. I always have had the common golf club brush- metal bristles on one side and a soft brush on the other. Upon going to buy a new one yesterday I saw an article about how you shouldn’t be using the metal brush on your irons. I always have thought metal brush for irons/wedges and soft brush for driver/woods. All my years I have used the metal brush before every iron shot, if the club needed it due to dirt on the face or dirt/sand/crud in the grooves. I personally have never noticed more then normal wear on the club face but after reading that particular article I can possibly be damaging my iron using the metal side of the brush. Anyone have any comment on if they use a metal brush on their irons? Have you damaged your irons from brushing? Etc tony@CIC 1 Quote Link to comment
clafoone Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I use a similar brush. Just ensure the metal side is brass.Sent from my SM-S727VL using Tapatalk FairwayNinja1 1 Quote Link to comment
Peterpc2828 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Been using this one for years, small cheap and works awesome! Bristles are brass and I have never noticed any adverse effects on my irons aside from keeping the groves clean.

russtopherb Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I always used the nylon bristles and a tee if I need to get mud/dirt out of the grooves.

hckymeyer Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I use the frogger brush, mix of nylon and brass and I've never thought twice about it. It's a non-issue, hitting a shot out of a bunker will put more abrasive force on your club than you ever could cleaning it with a brush.

ncwoz Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Only thing I notice is if you take the wire side and go up and down on the face you're gonna scratch up the face, but as long as you're going with the grocery I haven't had any issues Quote Right Handed Driver: 9° Speedzone (HZRDUS Smoke Green 70g X-Stiff shaft) 2 Hybrid: 18° Exotics EXS Pro (Evenflow Black 6.5) (2020 MGS Official Review here) 3/Driving Iron: 18° UiHi Iron (MMT Utility TX 105g shaft) Irons: 4-GW T100 irons (Nippon Modus 120 X-Stiff shafts) (2021 MGS Official Review here) Wedges: 54° & 58° TSW Forged (Dynamic Gold S300) Putter: ER2B (2019 MGS Official Review here) Ball: MAXFLI Tour X Bag: Hoofer Lite WITB thread here Link to comment

TR1PTIK Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Depends on the finish of the golf club, but certainly as far as the metal itself goes brass bristles will never harm the club face because brass is a softer metal than steel. If you're worried about the club's finish, stick with nylon though.

MDGolfHacker Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I seem to get jabbed by the brass side of those brushes all the time when I had it attached to my bag (plus snagging my golf shirts)...so much so I stopped using them and now take a damp golf towel to clean the club/club face after almost every shot. Does as good a job as the brushes. MDGolfHacker silver & black, MattF and cnosil 3 Quote TSssWhat's In This Lefty's Bag?

deejaid Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I also use the Frogger brush, but just the nylon one. I'm a bit leary of even brass on forged clubs.Same with me. I switched from the generic nylon/brass bristle combo to a Frogger with just nylon. I did it not just for my clubs, but for my bag also. Having a brush with metal bristles swinging can cause damage to a nylon bag.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk MDGolfHacker and MattF 2 Quote WITB: Stan Thompson “Reactionizer” persimmon woods 1-4 Spalding Tour Edition 3-PW Spalding Top-Flite E.V.A.

Txmason123 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I use a towel that I wet on one end. I clean my club with it after every shot.
