Abstract
A device for removing peened material from within a groove on the face of a golf club and for restoring the groove to a desired shape is disclosed. The groove cleaning device includes a handle and a blade. The blade includes a body mounted to the handle and further includes a protruding portion terminating in a tip. A portion of the tip defines a cutting portion having a cross-section generally conforming to the desired groove shape. Accordingly, in response to movement of the blade along the groove, the cutting portion removes the peened material from the groove and thereby restores the groove to the desired shape.
