DAMN THIS GOLF RULE! – Golf Rule 4-2b

Can I apply a substance to the clubface to either reduce spin or increase spin?

No, Rule 4-2b states that foreign material must not be applied to the club face for the purpose of influencing the movement of the ball. Any coating designed to influence the movement of the ball by either increasing or decreasing spin, or to have any other effect on performance is not permitted.
