Using brass wire brush to clean gross on BeCu clubs?
Is it ok to use a brass wire brush to clean the grooves on a Beryllium Copper club or will the brass scratch the club? Im just not sure about the hardness of BeCu and I really want to take good care of these clubs. Any info would be much appreciated!
Thanks Dick, that was very useful information. Now what about just between shots when i just want to keep my grooves clean? Just use a plastic bristle brush? And also, my clubs are pretty old (Becu Ping Eye 2′s) im wondering if the grooves have lost some of there sharpness and if there is a way to resharpen them or what…. Thanks for your help so far!
I play BeCu wedges (Cleveland 588′s, 51* and 56*) and I love them – best feel for wedges ever.
But, the environment hates them, so they are’nt made anymore, so if you have them or can get your hands on them, do it and take care of them.
So, they are very soft, and yes, a wire brush will cut right into them. I’ll share with you my process for shining them. It is a little involved, but it works like a dream and they will be so shiny you can use them as a mirror for shaving. Just keep in mind that copper naturally oxidizes, and once you shine them, expect a nice patina to start appearing. I only shine mine once a year, at the beginning of each season. If they are dirty, etc, after a round, I just wash them in warm soapy water with a soft sponge, just to get the dirt off – no need to scrub.
Here’s the pro style method:
First you need “The Club Eraser/Polisher” it is a small rubber type brick. I buy mine at a local golf retailer. The company who produces these, and I am giving you exactly how the label reads. “Tommy Braninger Sports” Southern Pines, North Carolina 28387. There is a golf website I know for sure carries them which is golfworks.com. The last one I purchased was $6.99 a few years ago.
There are a few other things involved to really get the shine though. The brick is good for getting started by removing the tarnish. Then I do the lightest amount of sanding possible without damaging the integrity of the metal with very fine sand paper (I’m talking like 2000 grit paper for wet sanding varnish, etc. If you pick up a sheet of 440 and think you’re ok, then you might as well just use a wire wheel). I then use cotton buffing wheels with a tool called a dremel which is a small motorized tool that has different kinds of cotton buffing wheels. The final step I use is a polish by the name of “Simichrome” which is actually a polish made in Germany. There are a bunch of stores on ebay that sell simichrome. I just apply and buff and work with the club until I am satisfied. I should mention as well that I wash the head in soap and water in between steps.
If it sounds labourous and involved, then you are correct, but the process it well worth the final result. Your clubs will be so shiny that playing them in the sun might be distracting.
Good luck, and take care of those BeCu clubs – they are (very playable) collectors items.

Information for Newbie Grill Owners
Grilling, or Barbequing is a true American tradition. Many Americans are finding themselves with a grill for the first time. Good experiences with your grill will surely lead to using your grill more and more.
Planning Ahead
Barbequing has been around since early cavemen figured out that food tasted great after being cooked on an open fire. Perhaps one of the main memories attached to a family barbeque is what was on the menu that day. Barbequing opens a whole array of types of foods available. The type of foods you serve should largely depend on your crowd and the event in which you are celebrating. With the wide range of possibilities, you are sure to find at least a few items that will please your crowd.
Another potential issue when barbequing is the weather. While you will not be able to guarantee that the weather stays nice your barbeque event, a certain amount of planning will help you avoid the days in which barbequing is just simply out of the picture. Watch the weather channel or check online for your weekly forecast. If rain or cold weather is likely on the day you were thinking about having your barbeque, it may be a good idea to wait for a better forecast.
Make sure that you prepare ahead for your barbeque. 12 to 24 hours before you plan on beginning the party, make sure to thaw, prepare, and marinate the meat you will be cooking. Once you have the meat stored away, soaking up the marinate, then you must start thinking about what types of side dishes you will be having. If you want a completely tradition barbeque, you may want to stick with traditional sizes. Traditional barbeque sides include potatoes, potato salad, baked beans, and coleslaw.
Maintenance
You will need some common household items on hand when it comes time to clean your barbeque grill.
Brass wire grill brush Steel wool pads, preferably that contains soap already. Mild dish soap Sponge or dishcloth Spray cooking oil Dry baking soda Aluminum foil
The first thing that should always be done to your grill is a routine brushing. Using your brass wire grill brush (or other brush suitable to your type of grill) you should brush off all the surfaces. By routinely brushing your barbeque grill, you will prevent any type of buildup. If buildup from food is left to long, it can become increasingly difficult to remove. Once you have cleaned the surfaces of your grill, then you must focus on its racks. The racks in your grill are especially important as this is where the food touches when it is cooking. You will have to use the wire brush to remove as much buildup as possible. Once you remove as much as possible, start washing the racks with dish soap. If the racks are really dirty, you may also want to use the steel wool pads. Be sure to completely rinse off all soap and residue before cooking on these racks again.
This process should be completed each and every time you cook on your barbeque grill. If these steps are not taken, you may find it increasingly difficult to clean your grill, and may find that damage will occur.
The majority of problems that arise from barbeque grills comes from lack of cleaning and maintenance. That means if you notice something does not seem quite right with your barbeque grill, chances are it can be fixed with just a simple cleaning. Even if you clean it, and still find that it is having problems, at least you saved yourself the potential embarrassment of taking it to a professional only to find out all it needed was to be cleaned.
Finally, one method of preventing problems with your barbeque grill is protecting it from the outdoors. Covers are available for grills in all shapes and sizes, so chances are, you will find one that fits your grill. If you have a cover for your barbeque grill, then all you will ever need to do is do the regular maintenance listed above.
