    What's everyone using to clean the channel on the 915 woods and hybrids? It's kinda a pain. Any suggestions.  Have a frogger brush and a broken tee or thin divot repair tool.  Don't want to carry a toothbrush, need something sturdy and deep bristle.

    The way the 915s perform, I do not find that an issue.  Only get a little dirty every now and only with the hybrid.  I carry one of those cleaning brushes that has a wire brush on one side and a soft brush with long bristles on the other that you can pick up at most golf store or even my divot repair tool after using the club.  Just like cleaning the grooves in your irons iron after each use.

    On my page, Chuck Z's reply is a long blank. This is a PIA, though, to do it in a way that doesn't damage the club or the paint. How about a cut up credit card, sans the personal info, or an old, well-work key? I have also used a tee, my fingers, tees, etc. I don't like the idea of carrying any more paraphernalia that absolutely necessary.

It's important to keep it clean after each use, a must, just like keeping the grooves clean in the your irons. Do not know what happened to my original post.....

    It's there, but it's in white lettering in a white background.

    This has been a problem for me as I tend to play the hybrid like an iron and hit down through the ball. The slot can accumulate quite a bit of dirt and grass. It even happens on the 3 wood as well. I just take a divot repair tool through the slot, wipe off the club with my towel and I am good to go. There have been a number of comments about scratching or defacing the club. I am pretty particular when it comes to keeping my clubs clean and scratch free and this has not bothered me at all. I am sure there are scratches from my method back up inside the slot but there are where nobody can see and I have never even noticed.

    I use a broken tee or the nylon bristle side of my grove cleaner so that it doesn't scratch the finish when I'm cleaning it out.

    I'm currently wondering of what items I can use to clean my 4 wood + driver out as I pass my time in the pro shop here... lol

    Adam; I use the forked part on my divot/ballmark tool to slide through the groove to clean out the dirt, and grass. Works great.

    I think a lot of people have this same issue with the 915's. That little channel seems to be quite the turf collector. I still feel a toothbrush is probably the best option, you don't want to go too strong and run the risk of defacing your club.

    Do you have a Scotty Cameron divot tool? It fits perfectly in the slot to it out.

    Hi all,

    I just picked up my new 915 D2 and 915 F. I was concerned about the slot in the F-wood and how to easily clean it on the course. Well I found that the nylon brush portion of my two sided club groove brush works like a charm. It has the leverage to dig into the slot and remove the grass and turf (for those steeper swings!!). It does all of this without damaging the finish (ie: scratches, etc.)

    Of course, you could also ask your TT folks for the cleaning brush as well... they have a very nifty little cleaning brush with long nylon brush bristles that reach down into the bottom of the slot too!

    All in all, I am very impressed with my 915 F and am now questioning myself as to why it took so long for me to switch to it from my previous model!

    Exactly why I posted! That TT brush!


    Get the hybrid as well before they switch to the 816.

    HAHAHA ... you could have asked in your original post if there was such a thing (TT Cleaning Brush) and I would have responded earlier when I first saw your post!

    If you go to the CANADA TT site, you will see the photo from one of our Canadian TT members. It's a great little brush! All the best!

    One of the bigger flat ball markers that are free at some clubs work fine. They are wood or plastic. The ones that ate more the size of a quarter. They are in your pocket already and don't scratch the finish.

    I know this is an older thread but I solved it by filling the ARC with a lightweight clear silicon. I'm no positive if it's breaks any rules. It does keep the dirt out though.
