Introduction

It is important for all golfers to have clean golf shoe spikes. Having poorly cleansed golf shoe spikes can hinder the performance of the player and stop a them from competing to the best of their ability. If your spikes are clean, your traction on the ground won’t be a concern and the only thing you will need to focus on is swinging the golf club.

Before using this guide, make sure that the reason that your shoes are not properly gripping is due to soiled spikes. Some shoes lose grip because dirt/mud is covering the shoe. If this is the case, you will have to clean more than just the spikes.

This guide includes work with some potentially sharp components. When handling these tools, make sure to do so with caution and with hand protection, like a glove.

What you need

Step 1

              Golf Shoe Spikes

Take one of the golf shoes and place it so that the bottom of the shoe is facing upwards.
Use the Golf Utility Brush to remove any sort of dirt and debris from each individual golf shoe spike.
