Are head covers on my irons a bit poofy?

[Dave B]

Would you use a scuffed ball for an important shot? If not why use a scuffed or battered iron to make the shot?

Like others have pointed out if you look after your equipment it will last longer and have a higher resale value.

Guess I am pretty shocked to find out the majority use so far.

no way would i be bothered with the hassle of covers for my irons.

+1

Very little damage to my forged clubs and that seems to be scrapes on the sole or the occasional stone whack. And they are 10 yrs old!

Wood/hybrid covers p*ss me off when they are not long enough to protect the shaft from rub marks!

I bought a set of iron covers once, but kept falling off and losing them, so have not used since. I can see why people use especially on nice forged bats which will scuff when rattling aroundin the bag.

Covers for me too, protect my forged irons and no bag clatter noises as I carry 100% time.

 

[Scottjd1]

Dont use them.....

 

[USER1999]

I use them when the clubs are new, but newness wears off rapidly, and then I dont bother. May be I need to play from the fairway a bit more. Reduce the wear and tear a bit.

 

[algar5]

No for me as well.I have had a set of iron covers for 2 years now gathering dust as I just prefer to go without.

these are for your more fancy dan golfers. as you know from all the golfers at your local course. more people go bareback!

There golf clubs FFS !! you smash them into the ground and into mats hundreds of times every time you use them,yet worry about the air getting to them or god forbid they rattle together.
My irons are 8 years old and look like new,in fact i'm the brunt of many jokes at my club about how obsessed i am with keeping my clubs and shoes clean,but i clean them and look after them for my own piece of mind,i've never even considered there resale value.

 

[Oddsocks]

Yes. Next question............

This- 100%

No to headcovers. My irons get more damage from being swung at a little white ball on the ground a couple of hundred times a week, than they ever will by banging against one another. And who thinks about resale value? Buy right, buy once. I budget for a new set every 4-5 years. At that point, the difference in price will be minimal, and I wont have spent 4-5 years looking like someone with OCD. Also, I like looking at them in the bag. They're Mizzys, which means they're beautiful. And beautiful things shouldn't be hidden from view. They should be admired, stroked, spoken to in loving terms regularly.............Oh bugger, I think I have a golf club fetish...

P.S. No I don't use them and not sure that I ever would.

 

[sona]

I don't use them but I wish I had.

 

[Iaing]

Yes. They are.

But each to their own I suppose.

 

[richart]

Not worried about bag clatter, it's the boulders I hit when I take a bit of a divot that damage my clubs.

 

[SocketRocket]

Doiles are good for preventing wear on your armchairs but they are not cool. Same as head covers for irons.

 

[DaveM]

Have some. Never use them much to poofy. What next Pink trousers.:ears: ...
