How to Change Golf Spikes

Golf spikes are easily changed by unscrewing the old ones and screwing in new ones. Daily golfers should replace soft spikes every other month; weekend golfers can get away with changing their soft spikes every six months.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Golf Shirts
• Cleat Wrenches
• Golf Bags
• Golf Balls
• Golf Club Cleaners
• Golf Clubs
• Golf Gloves
• Golf Hats
• Golf Practice Equipment
• Golf Shoes
• Golf Spikes
• Golf Balls

1. Remove any grass or dirt from the bottom of your golf shoes.

2. Use a cleat wrench to take out the spikes one by one. Turn counterclockwise to remove the spike.

3. Clean out the spike holes in the bottom of the shoe to make it easier to insert new spikes.

4. Throw old soft spikes away. You may want to keep old metal spikes for future use.

5. Hand-screw new spikes in clockwise, then use a cleat wrench to tighten them.

Tips & Warnings

• If you wear metal spikes, make sure your golf course allows them.
• Avoid screwing spikes in too tightly.
• Soft spikes can sometimes make it slippery to walk.

on 9/5/2006 Using a small drill bit, 1/16th inch, increased the depth of the two holes in each spike. This gave the spike wrench more to grab onto and made removal much easier. I tried the vise grip without success.
