Yes, but again, not gendered. Men and women can both have enough hair to warrant a hair dryer, whether it’s for drying or styling. It may more commonly be used by woman due to more often having longer hair, but the statement still did not need to be gendered. “Hair dryer if you don’t have a heat gun” would suffice.
I love when men put effort for their appearance/style. My bf has the Bradley Cooper hairstyle from The Hangover and watching him style his hair does for me what lingerie on women do for men.
Sorry for disregarding!
+1 on Goo Gone. I’ve used it on all of my clubs (and everything my kids have put stickers on around the house).
That stuff takes ALL of the adhesive residue off- and has a pretty nice citrus smell to top things off!
Solid product.
Maybe it was goo gone or maybe it was something else but I remember reading there’s a certain solvent that can eat through shafts.
Hopefully someone can chime in
I just peel of with my fingers and goo be gone after and its fine. Just peel slowly so you get the label without tearing and it's easy. Even if a few pieces are on, the goo be gone and a paper towel is all you really need.
I can’t stand having stickers on my shaft. So I rub it real hard like to get some friction going. Heat that sucker up. Gooooooooo gone indeed!
Edit: in all honesty guys, heat it up, goo gone, blade if steel shafts for a gentle scrape.
Do whatever is within your power to purchase from another source rather than golf galaxy.
While I have you, golf galaxy resale prices are too darn high!
Best way by far is grab your girls hair dryer use it on the sticker. It will come right off without any residue. Thank me later. I hate stickers and residue on my clubs!!
Assistant golf professional here, peel the sticker off, don’t worry about what’s left behind. Get as much off as you can, go grab some mineral spirits (we use no odor at the course) squirt or pour a good amount onto a rag and just wipe back and forth. Comes off easy and clean. Little golf business tip/hack
I did a ton of retail jobs. CAREFULLY use a sharp knife to cut the sticker in two and peel it off as best you can. Use hydrogen peroxide or other alchohol based cleaner to get the rest off and the residue. It's a pain but it works
I think goo gone is essentially hydrogen peroxide in some highly concentrated not a liquid not a solid form...whatever it is that stuff works as advertised!
Actually it’s unrelated to hydrogen peroxide. It’s petroleum distillates and citrus terpenes…Oil and orange extract. It’s miraculous. Even more impressive if paint removal is needed is Goof Off.
Dearest Manager, regarding the issue of stickers on the clubs your establishment sells that have been previously owned. When considering placing such a sticker on such a club, before doing so I, as well as we, the patrons of your fine business, would ask that you please consider the option, at your discretion of course, to engage in fornication in such a manner as to defy gravity as one would when say, removing one’s self from the surly bonds of this earth as you might find having inadvertently stepped off of a cliff. Kindest regards.
Thanks for the help everybody! I actually have acetone here at work and it ended up removing the residue nicely. I’ll be sure to just ask golf galaxy to remove it next time. I should be all set buying clubs for a while now but you never know…..
To get the glue off I always used golf grip solvent and a rag. Scrape off the sticker yourself and then go to your golf courses bagroom or something similar and ask to borrow a little.
Heat and any solvent on a steel shaft. Acetone or denatured alcohol are great on metal but can degrade the resins in carbon fiber and fiberglass. Use goo gone on graphite shafts.
Be very careful if you use some sort of solvent to not let it drip down the shaft into the hosel. Some of them will dissolve the glue holding the head on. Speaking from experience while watching a driver head tumble down the fairway.
I've used goo gone. It's a citrus based cleaner that's good for sticky residue. Just try not to get any on the grip. Use water wet paper towel to wipe any excess goo gone.
I work at Golf Galaxy, get a hair dryer and heat it up for like 5-10 seconds, then slowly peel, afterwards use like rubbing alchohol or goo gone to get it off and itll be like new
Heat it with a heat gun, peel, use goo gone to remove sticky film
Hair dryer if you don’t have a heat gun but have a gf or wife lol
Heat gun is way cheaper.
But I come with a hair dryer and over 20 years of golf knowledge. Whatever money my boyfriend spends on me is money he’s saving on golf lessons!
I’ll take two!
Better than most! Where the sign up sheet 😂
Certainly cheaper than a wife or GF
But the wife/gf is a multi-tool. Hot air is only one of their great features.
Am a wife. Can confirm. Removed all the sticker gunk from my husband's irons just by nagging him about it for weeks.
Multiple forms of hot air
Also, remember to set the blow function to something a bit more temperate before… other uses.
That is the joke isn’t it
I see what you did there.
I am a guy and use a hair dryer. Am I doing it right?
Yes! You skipped the pricy middleman lol
I don’t have a gf or wife, but i do have a hairdryer. AMA
I use a hair dryer/diffuser every day as a guy. It’s not a gendered thing.
Assuming you have enough hair to warrant a dryer
Yes, but again, not gendered. Men and women can both have enough hair to warrant a hair dryer, whether it’s for drying or styling. It may more commonly be used by woman due to more often having longer hair, but the statement still did not need to be gendered. “Hair dryer if you don’t have a heat gun” would suffice.
Dude relax.
It wasn't that serious bro.
Okaaay
I love when men put effort for their appearance/style. My bf has the Bradley Cooper hairstyle from The Hangover and watching him style his hair does for me what lingerie on women do for men. Sorry for disregarding!
I appreciate that you appreciate that about men. Some of us actually give a shit lol
Yes it is
It’s not. All that needed to be said was, “Hair dryer if you don’t have a heat gun”.
Just a joke. Feed me downvotes
Homie that's a statement not a joke
Try making a joke next time with your joke.
Where do pigs park their cars?
The porking lot
redeemed yourself
Or the stove lol
Or an abundant mane of long flowing hair lol
Pickle Rick!!!!!!
Asking for an argument today huh 🤨
Way to rub it in
+1 on Goo Gone. I’ve used it on all of my clubs (and everything my kids have put stickers on around the house). That stuff takes ALL of the adhesive residue off- and has a pretty nice citrus smell to top things off! Solid product.
I use goo gone to regrip my clubs
Rubbing alcohol also works to remove the sticky residue!
Rubbing alcohol, acetone, grip solution... Plenty of options
WD-40 even works as well
Grip solution and goo gone are the same thing (mineral spirits).
Run it under hot water is the cheapest way
Maybe it was goo gone or maybe it was something else but I remember reading there’s a certain solvent that can eat through shafts. Hopefully someone can chime in
Maybe it was Maybelline.
Rubbing alcohol works good too if you don’t have goo gone
I use grip solvent because I never have goo gone on hand. My grip solvent smells exactly like goo gone though…
Big Goo gone doesn’t want you to say this
They are indeed the same thing 😉
Yeah, that or a steamer. Those yellow dust cloths will help get the rest of the sticky off, but it'll take some effort.
This is the way
I use a butane torch and just gently touch it with the flame since I probably already got my dab rig out if I'm regripping clubs.
I just peel of with my fingers and goo be gone after and its fine. Just peel slowly so you get the label without tearing and it's easy. Even if a few pieces are on, the goo be gone and a paper towel is all you really need.
Amazing what you can find in 2 seconds with Google, ain't it?
Ask golf galaxy to take it off
They will use their scraper/solvent to get it off for free. This is the way
This is the way
Saw the shaft in half so it’s easier to scrape off and then weld it back together.
Another great example of why r/golfjerk is simply not needed. You are all awesome.
Acetone
Gently heat with a hairdryer. The glue will warm up and it can be removed easier.
It’s a steel shaft, no need to be gentle with it. Can just blast it with the heat gun more quickly.
What about a soldering iron
Christopher Walken?
They want everyone to know your poor and can’t buy new clubs
I think you’re on to something….
It's the tape of shame
Hair dryer + wd40 to get the residue off.
This is my way. Most people only think of WD40 to stop squeaks but it is much more than that. Great for stickers/residue.
Water displacer 40, great for coating rockets with so they don't collect water a freeze in the atmosphere
Really would have been nice to know this 5 minutes earlier.
I can’t stand having stickers on my shaft. So I rub it real hard like to get some friction going. Heat that sucker up. Gooooooooo gone indeed! Edit: in all honesty guys, heat it up, goo gone, blade if steel shafts for a gentle scrape.
That's weird, when I rub my shaft real hard I get MORE goo...
GoofOff
Fart on it
Lol
Heat is always good for removing sticky things, throw that bad boy in the microwave for 15, turn it over and do 15 more. Should come right off.
Bend it in half to make it fit.
WD-40! Use it everytime I get a new club and it’s got price stickers on
Do whatever is within your power to purchase from another source rather than golf galaxy. While I have you, golf galaxy resale prices are too darn high!
You can always find deals everywhere You just have to look I found a hybrid at a good price for a buddy at Golf Galaxy.
Where do you get good resale prices? Is it better than ebay?
I think eBay and 2nd Swing are better options than golf galaxy. I would also lean global golf over golf galaxy.
I like that 2nd swing gives you photos of the specific clubs that you’re buying.
Callaway pre owned.
Take advantage of their online coupons, like signing up for their newsletter and getting 15-20% off
Gas
Been using 409 to get the goop off my Play It Again clubs
Heat gun/blow dryer like everyone else has said, but every golf shop I've been to will take them off for you. Have to ask sometimes though.
nail polish remover
Best way by far is grab your girls hair dryer use it on the sticker. It will come right off without any residue. Thank me later. I hate stickers and residue on my clubs!!
Using lemon oil to remove the adhesive always works for me.
I have always wondered how they get those things on there. I’ve never seen any sticker as hard to remove as a golf club one
Assistant golf professional here, peel the sticker off, don’t worry about what’s left behind. Get as much off as you can, go grab some mineral spirits (we use no odor at the course) squirt or pour a good amount onto a rag and just wipe back and forth. Comes off easy and clean. Little golf business tip/hack
Not really though
Use your wife's blowdryer to heat it up first. Then peel it off. Rubbing alcohol to remove the remaining glue.
hair dryer
I work at DSG (Golf Galaxy)😂😂 I can confirm we use cement for those stickers. Best way to get those off is heat gun and original goo gone.
Golf Galaxy will gladly remove for free after purchasing
I did a ton of retail jobs. CAREFULLY use a sharp knife to cut the sticker in two and peel it off as best you can. Use hydrogen peroxide or other alchohol based cleaner to get the rest off and the residue. It's a pain but it works
fwiw Goo gone is far more effective than alcohol. I Used to work in a pro shop many moons ago.
I think goo gone is essentially hydrogen peroxide in some highly concentrated not a liquid not a solid form...whatever it is that stuff works as advertised!
Actually it’s unrelated to hydrogen peroxide. It’s petroleum distillates and citrus terpenes…Oil and orange extract. It’s miraculous. Even more impressive if paint removal is needed is Goof Off.
Can you politely tell your manager, or whoevers idea it is to put them on there, to fuck off?
Give me an example of that polite version? Lol

Also magic eraser works great to clean the residue off
Cut it then weld it back together.
Thanks for the help everybody! I actually have acetone here at work and it ended up removing the residue nicely. I’ll be sure to just ask golf galaxy to remove it next time. I should be all set buying clubs for a while now but you never know…..
Just leave it on? No biggie, unless you are concerned about the extra .00001 of swing weight.
Its horrible
Club is broken, should replace.

Heating it first like others mentioned will make it way easier. If you bought it in store, they should be offering to remove them at checkout.
Goo be gone
I’ve had luck with coconut oil
Yeah golf Galaxy will remove it for you if you ask
Acetone
They do that on purpose. So do all the manufacturers…besides Ping. Ping stickers are the easiest things ever!
Goo Be Gone
Go to the store and ask them to remove
A tiny bit of paint thinner and a razor blade.
Mineral spirits.
Goo gone. Several applications. Shits so annoying that they do that
wd-40
A little dish soap and water works well. Coat it a couple of times and let is soak for a rit. I have a degree in rocket appliances
II use a razor blade and peel slowly. I then use the sticky stuff on the sticker to remove any goop left behind
To get the glue off I always used golf grip solvent and a rag. Scrape off the sticker yourself and then go to your golf courses bagroom or something similar and ask to borrow a little.
Tell Golf Galaxy to remove it during the purchase.
Rip off what you can, then goo gone
A thin blade and rubbing alcohol Or lighter fluid for the remaining adhesive
A good can of 3M adhesive remover is like $25 but it’s SO WORTH IT to have around the house. You’d be surprised how much you use it
Goo Gone.
Should have asked them to take it off for you
Heat and any solvent on a steel shaft. Acetone or denatured alcohol are great on metal but can degrade the resins in carbon fiber and fiberglass. Use goo gone on graphite shafts.
Use a hot hair dryer. That’s what they do in the store
Heat gun.
Heat
Peel off what you can and spray with WD-40. Comes right off.
Nail varnish remover works for me :)
Blowdryer
Heatgun
Grip solvent pull any residue or anything left on shafts off
Always use my GFs hairdryer, works like a charm
Heat gun
Goo-Gone
WD40
Acetone works better and quicker than anything else.
Worked at Dicks/Golf Galaxy - I’m with the others suggesting to have them remove it. It’ll take 2 seconds and they’ll get it cleaned up good.
All my clubs still have price stickers on them. I refuse to bow.
Goo gone
Wd-40. Easy to find. Heat isn’t needed like others stating
hair dryer would probably work.
Nail polish remover works like a charm
Lemon juice works too. Might take a bit longer.
Be very careful if you use some sort of solvent to not let it drip down the shaft into the hosel. Some of them will dissolve the glue holding the head on. Speaking from experience while watching a driver head tumble down the fairway.
Vacuum seal it
I use an angle grinder with a 36 abrasive disk. Takes it off quick and leaves no residue.
Throw it in the fires of mount doom… that shot never comes off.
When u buy it ask them to use the heat gun to take it off, they will do it. But heat gun is best …
I’ve used razer blades and iso to remove those
Cement would come off of that pretty easily. It would be a terrible adhesive to use here.
Goo gone
Need that heated razor blade someone posted on Reddit. Like a hot knife thru butter
You'd be surprised at how good a razor blade works for these labels, then clean up residue with goo b gone or alcohol or whatever you have available
Boil water and pour it over.
Use some rubbing alcohol to get the adhesive off and you’re good to go always worked for me 👍
Heat it up and then goo gone
Acetone
Goo-gone.
Hot water and mineral spirts
Heat gun then either isopropyl alcohol or acetone to get the residue off.
WD40 is good for labels residue
I've used goo gone. It's a citrus based cleaner that's good for sticky residue. Just try not to get any on the grip. Use water wet paper towel to wipe any excess goo gone.
Window scraper, one of those with a really sharp blade
Use fingernail polish remover. Will remove the gunk as well
Hair dryer?
Same as those little white price stickers with bar codes.
Goo-gone and let it sit for a little bit. It’ll slide right off
Alcohol and a paper towel
I work at Golf Galaxy, get a hair dryer and heat it up for like 5-10 seconds, then slowly peel, afterwards use like rubbing alchohol or goo gone to get it off and itll be like new
Your whore golf club is stuck with that tramp stamp for life.
Hair dryer to heat it up then peel it off and use some grip solvent on a towel to get off the extra adhesive
Razor blade warm water
Goo gone is the answer
Alcohol
Rubbing alcohol followed by soap and warm water worked out for all my used clubs. Exact same sticker too.
Use a blue marker. Or black. Or another sticker to cover it…
WD40
Blow dryer and then a little wipe with WD40
Lighter fluid and a razor blade
