Bag rub tip

[Deleted Member 1156]

Over the years I've had some quite serious rub marks on various graphite shafts. Today I went to the local fabric shop and bought a quarter of a metre (min amount) of a furry velour type material for £2.25 and a can of contact adhesive for £2.99. Cut out the right size, glued it on, job done. I'll report back if it prevents any future bag rub.

Have you tried wearing more fitting underwear?

I just put a bit of celotape or insulation tape on the shaft at the point the rubbing starts.. 1 wrap has no detrimental affects

I've been using moleskin......but I think I will go the fabric route at some point. Might just buy a new bag before too much longer......I've had 3 bags in the last 5 years, they all rub. What really gets up my nose is on some of the slots they put in the rivets and they stick out enough to rub the club. Just bad design/workmanship.

For woods and hybrids I used the old fashioned sock type covers with long knecks and have never had a problem.

Have you tried finding long headcovers these days? Plenty of people advertise them but in reality they are no longer than standard ones.

I have recoil iron shafts.....I think it has affected them as well.

I used to evostik some vinyl I had left over from an MGB restoration into my bag, but now I have 14 way dividers it is not so easy.

My next carry bag will be a 4 way top.

I use a rubber glue and stick some folded micro fibre cloth at the top of where my graphite shafted clubs go (so driver, and 2 hybrids). Its colour coded to match the bag dividers so it doenst look pants. Does an excellent job of protecting the shafts

Don't your clubs look a bit silly all wrapped in fur? Silly or fabulous anyway.

I think there is room in golf for furry shafts. They would be amazing.

Would something like bike frame tape be a possible solution? I’ve used it to cover a few things and it seems great.

That's what I'm planning to do. I've been using bags with slots for all the clubs......next bag will only have a few slots. Carry or trolley bag......I never had this problem with those bags in the past.....and if I do it should be easy to glue something into the larger openings.
