Hello future players.

I have a real concern about my Petr Korbel. I have only used it for about 10times, and the curvy side near to the handle is getting really black and dirt is sticking. Any comments on how to remove it?

It's not dirt. I think it is rather sweat from when you are training.

By the way, your choice of H3 on the Korbel is rather unique to me (ie, most players I see using the Korbel is either Bryce or Sriver)

You can just scratch most of it off with your nail. If you want to remove it completely a bit of sandpaper will remove it all.

If you want to use sandpaper, then use a fine one, like 800 mesh or finer so you can avoid taking off the wood too much. If this kind of dirt is bothering you too much, after sanding it you can lightly coat it with polyurethane or wood varnish.

Don't worry about that bit of dirt man. Just make sure you leave you blade out of the bag for the sweat to dry after playing.

I would not use water on the wood part (not even damp cloth), because it will seep into the wood and unwanted things can happen.
