Aiming Fluid Golf Towel Review: The SCRUB → WASH → DRY Cleaning System
Most magnetic towel reviews list features. This page breaks down the actual on-course workflow: SCRUB tough grime, WASH it inside the pocket (contain the mess), then DRY on deep waffle microfiber.
Who This System Is For
- Golfers who ride carts and want the towel always reachable
- Walkers who want a compact setup that stays clean through a round
- Wet mornings, muddy lies, sandy courses
- Players chasing consistent wedge spin and predictable contact
- Anyone tired of soaking an entire towel just to clean one club
The System (SCRUB → WASH → DRY)
In plain English: scrub the grooves, wash the grime inside the pocket, then dry the face and ball on waffle microfiber. That’s the routine. Run it the same way every time.
SCRUB
Use the white triangular scrub pad to break loose caked-on dirt and sand from grooves. This is friction, not smearing.
WASH
Rinse inside the triangular wash pocket so grime and moisture stay contained. Your “dirty zone” is isolated on purpose.
DRY
Finish on deep waffle microfiber to dry the clubface and ball for a clean, dry finish.

System Towel vs Regular Towel (the failure mode)
The practical difference is simple: a standard towel often asks one surface to do everything. Once it’s wet and dirty, it spreads contamination. A system towel separates tasks so the “wash” mess doesn’t ruin the “dry” finish.
One surface tries to scrub + wash + dry. The wet zone becomes a grime sponge and the rest gets contaminated. You wipe… and still leave debris inside grooves.
Separate tasks by design: SCRUB with the scrub pad, WASH inside the wash pocket (contain the mess), DRY on waffle microfiber. Less cross-contamination through the round.
How to Use It On-Course (15 Seconds)
No rituals. No soaking the entire towel. Just run the system the same way every time.
1SCRUB
Hit stubborn debris first using the scrub pad. Quick friction gets the junk out of the grooves.
2WASH
Rinse and wipe inside the wash pocket so the dirt and moisture stay contained.
3DRY
Finish on deep waffle microfiber to dry the face and ball for clean, predictable contact.

Optional Upgrade: The Landing Pad (makes the towel easier to use)
Magnetic towels work best when they’re always accessible. The Landing Pad creates a consistent attachment point on your bag, so the towel returns to the same place after every shot.

Why it helps
Consistency is a behavior problem. If it’s easy to access, you use it more often. If you use it more often, your grooves stay cleaner. Cleaner grooves = fewer “why did that do that?” shots.

Common Questions
Quick, straight answers to the things golfers ask right before buying.
What is the Aiming Fluid 3-stage cleaning system?
It’s a repeatable on-course method: SCRUB tough grime with the scrub pad, WASH inside the wash pocket to contain dirt and moisture, then DRY on deep waffle microfiber for a clean, dry finish.
What makes the wash pocket different?
It isolates the wet/dirty zone. You can rinse and wash without soaking and contaminating the entire towel. Dirt and moisture stay in the pocket by design.
Is this a magnetic golf towel or a carabiner towel?
Both. It includes a magnetic attachment plus a carabiner/loop so you can mount it on carts, clubs, or your bag.
Which size should I get: Stubby (16×24) or The 40 (16×40)?
Stubby is compact and simple; The 40 offers more surface area. Both run the same SCRUB → WASH → DRY workflow.
Does a magnetic towel help performance?
It helps by making proper cleaning easier to do consistently. Cleaner grooves and a cleaner ball reduce avoidable variance in spin and launch.
Recommendation
If you want the simplest way to remove avoidable randomness, start with cleaner inputs. Use a towel built as a system: SCRUB → WASH → DRY.
