The ifrothgolf review
A premium microfibre golf towel from Zero Friction with a textured waffle weave on one side. It measures about 16 by 26 inches, which is a useful mid-size that drapes over a bag without dragging on the ground, and it ships in a handful of colours. The waffle texture is the point: it digs grit out of grooves and ball dimples better than a flat terry towel, and the microfibre holds a serious amount of water so a single dampened corner cleans clubs for a full round.
What's great
The absorbency is the standout. It soaks up roughly three times its own weight, so you can dampen one end, keep the other dry, and have both a scrubbing and a buffing surface all day. The waffle weave is genuinely effective on muddy grooves, it stays soft after washing, and it does not shed lint onto wet clubheads. For around GBP 16 from the brand direct, it is honest value next to towels that cost more for less cloth.
Worth knowing
The big one: despite often being searched for as a magnetic towel, this Zero Friction towel is NOT magnetic. It attaches with a hook and grommet, so you clip it to a bag ring or trolley rail rather than slapping it onto a metal cart frame. If a magnet is a hard requirement, this is the wrong towel and you want a dedicated magnetic model from another brand. Beyond that, it is sold in USD on the brand site so UK pricing and shipping vary, and the waffle weave can hold onto sand if you do not rinse it after a beach-bunker day.
The verdict
A very good, fairly priced waffle microfibre towel that cleans clubs better than most flat towels. Buy it for the cloth, not for a magnet, because it does not have one. If you specifically need magnetic attachment, look elsewhere; if you just want an absorbent towel that clips to your bag, this earns its spot.
