Like any premium investment, proper care ensures your putter maintains its performance and stunning appearance for years to come. Whether you own our popular TS-912, TS-713i, or the newly released TS-1029, these essential maintenance practices will keep your putter performing at its peak.
Essential Putter Maintenance for Peak Performance
Cleaning golf clubs regularly is crucial for maintaining optimal performance, and putters require special attention due to their precision-milled faces. After each round, debris, grass stains, and dirt can accumulate in the grooves and affect ball contact. Start by removing loose debris with a soft-bristled brush, working gently to avoid scratching the milled surface.
For deeper cleaning, use warm water combined with mild dish soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish or affect the putter’s carefully calibrated weight distribution. Steps for how to clean a putter properly involve soaking a microfiber cloth in the soapy solution and gently wiping down the entire head, paying special attention to the face and alignment aids.
The precision grooves on your T Squared putter face deserve extra care. Use a plastic tee or specialized groove cleaner to remove stubborn debris, working along the groove lines rather than across them. This maintains the micro-texture that helps create consistent ball roll characteristics.
Professional Golf Club Maintenance Best Practices
After cleaning, thoroughly dry your putter with a clean towel to prevent water spots and potential oxidation. For stainless steel models, consider applying a light coat of club wax or metal protectant every few months to maintain that showroom shine and protect against the elements.
The grip requires attention, too, as oils from your hands can affect traction over time. Clean the grip weekly with warm, soapy water and a soft brush, then rinse and dry completely. Replace grips annually or when you notice significant wear, as a consistent feel is essential for putting confidence.
Smart Strategies for Storing Golf Clubs
Proper storage significantly extends your putter's lifespan. Storing golf clubs in a climate-controlled environment prevents extreme temperature fluctuations that can affect materials and finishes. Never leave your putter in a hot car trunk, as excessive heat can damage grips and potentially affect the metal’s properties.
When storing for extended periods, ensure your putter is completely clean and dry. Store it in a headcover to prevent dings and scratches, and keep it in an upright position when possible to avoid unnecessary stress on the shaft.
