I use some soapy water with a cloth and softly rub it and it comes off eventually.

Goo -B- Gone works best.....

Just what I was about to say. Works perfectly and I've used it on all my clubs that have the sticker on them.

Lacquer thinner works too......It is also great at removing old tape when you are regripping.

I used to work for a company calleld AP Wagner and we sold something called Goo Gone. It was made to remove stickers just like you are talking about. I have some and use it all the time. It works great.

Another vote for Goo Gone. Costs about 2 bucks at your hardware store and works wonders...

I've always used wd-40 as well for that kind of stuff. It works great. I even used it on my chrome on my motorcycle to get some residue off.

I second goo gone.

Vegetable oil works fine. That is why the peanut butter and mayonnaise worked. Just a few drops of vegetable oil, rub it around, wait 30 seconds or so and then wipe off and follow with a little bit of dish detergent to remove the oil.

Goo Gone works wonders. It's slightly oily and seems less harsh than all the solvents mentioned in this thread. It has a nice orange smell too and if you spill it, it won't make colors run. It also comes in handy for getting gum out of carpets and things. I've used it on steel and graphite shafts with no problems. Good luck.

If the stickers are more of a paper type then dont bother taking them off wth your hands just put some goo gone on a paper napkin and just rub the sticker off. If it is a plastic type sticker then either use a untencil (sp?) to scrape it off or use your fingers to pik it off and then use a napkin and some goo gone to rub the rest of the residue off.

WD-40 works fine.

Veggie oil

Goof Off. Lilly Industries Inc, Grand Rapids, MI. I think I bought it in Home Depot. 4.5 Oz Can. Fantastic! Dried Latex Paint, Glue, Adhesives, Sticker Residue. Works like a charm. This is on Steel. It's very strong so I don't know about graphite. I'm a "Fuss Pot" about my clubs looking good and I HATE all those stickers and labels. I'd be very carefull when it comes to graphite though. It might dis-color the shafts.

I used to dislike stickers on my shafts. I still do, but I have recently discovered a reason to leave them on. I have recently bought late 1980's forged irons online, and an 'older' putter also. All were advertised to with the phrases 'original shafts' and 'shaft-labels in tact'. This is a selling point on some clubs. I have also bought single clubs from used-club bins and I will say that it does make me feel good if there is some proof that the club has a quality shaft, even if it is sticky! Sometimes these labels confirm the flex also.

I will probably go ahead and remove the labels, but if you are thinking of reselling your clubs, and care about resale value, consider leaving the stickers on! Or at least save some sort of documentation of what the shafts are.
