Amazon Finds: Frogger BrushPro Golf Club Cleaner

The Problem

Grooves on your golf club full of sand, dirt, grass and/or grit?  Trying to clean it with a tee can be tee-dious (sorry) and not very effective.  A towel might not be enough to get them really clean, either. 

The Solution

The Frogger BrushPro Golf Club Cleaner is here to keep your clubs clean and debris-free.  With a 2.5-foot retractable cord, it can live on your bag with enough reach to get any angle you need to clean the clubs. It also has a retractable groove cleaner that can get down deep between the grooves to ensure a perfect clean every time. 

How I Found It

I’ve become somewhat obsessive about keeping my clubs clean, knowing that dirt, grass and debris can negatively affect spin and control. I’ve been looking for a better option than my $2.99 dish scrubber that I’ve been using. I found the Frogger BrushPro Golf Club Cleaner on Amazon and with more than 2,500 reviews (averaging 4.7 stars), and costing only $19.95, this was something I was very interested in testing.

How it Worked (and didn’t)

The Frogger comes ready-to-go with a very stiff nylon and phosphorous bronze brush, which is suitable for all cast clubs. They include a 100-percent nylon option for softer forged clubs. Switching heads is incredibly easy and weirdly satisfying: Simply open the groove cleaner to 90 degrees, slide the bristle brush off, slide the new one on. Then close the groove cleaner and you’re good to go. 

I found the bristles on the main brush (my irons are cast, not forged) to be incredibl y effective: Just a quick scrub back and forth on the face of the iron was more than enough to clear even the thickest dirt/sand.  Only twice over two rounds did I need to use the groove cleaner—the first time because I’d failed to properly clean my 6-iron from my last round so some dirt had hardened in the grooves and the second because I wanted to give the whole bag a proper cleaning and made sure everything was as new as possible. In both instances, the retractable groove cleaner made quick work of the grime.    

I’m VERY surprised at just how good this thing feels. The handle is perfectly ergonomically shaped, it has a great rubberized grip and it feels genuinely comfortable. 

The lanyard works perfectly, just enough length to easily reach wherever I’m standing and it snaps back easily and with no risk of snagging—an easy, well-executed retraction system.

My only nitpick is that sometimes you need to add water to truly get your clubs clean and, with no built-in water reservoir, that poses a challenge.  As most of us always have some kind of liquid (no judgment) with us, that’s an easy enough problem to solve.

Bottom Line:

To say I’m surprised at how well this works is an understatement – it does everything it says it does, and does it incredibly well. The price is reasonable (if not excellent), the lanyard means you’ll never leave it behind, the fact that it comes with hard and soft bristles is well thought-out, the mechanism to switch the bristles is very clever and the groove cleaner is an excellent addition.  Being retractable so it’s not snagging on everything is a huge bonus. Highly recommended.
