Head Covers on Forged irons

[Wolfman]

If all goes to plan and i get a new set of forged irons i am thinking of a set of headcovers

Some people hate them some like to stop bag clatter

Should i get some when i choose my new forged irons, what do you guys reckon ??

 

[SAPCOR1]

If you like them then go for it!

Don't worry what others may think

 

[HomerJSimpson]

I have them and my 08 burners are still in great nick

 

[Wolfman]

I am aware that you should dry the irons when you get home without leaving the covers on ( rust risk )

I hate iron clatter, i had a set of cast head Wilson Staff Ci9 irons, the backs of the clubs looked worse than the ball strikes on the face ! and this was purely bag clatter

 

[pbrown7582]

I've got them on mine, saves bag clatter and keeps them nice and shiney. I do take them off when I get home.

I'll wait for all the insults and abuse to rain down ..........

Don't head covers on forged irons cause rust?

Or is that a myth?

For what it's worth I have forged Mizuno blades. They are second hand but were on pukka condition when I brought them. Played them all season, no head covers and they are still in the same condition.

As with many things Golf its a matter of personal preference.
I used them when I had MP58's and after 18 months they looked like new.
Some like the "character" that bag clatter gives forged irons

Don't let anyone tell you that you can or can't use them.

I use the Castle bay clear ones, no bag chatter at all and clubs still look well with no dings. Make sure you give them a quick wipe if playing on a wet day though just to stop them sweating and any potential corrosion.
Everyone has one stigmatic bit of gear in their golf bag, I have iron covers, others have hybrids,chippers,gps,rubber pyramid tees (those horrible ones tied to gether with string...)

 

[kev_off_the_tee]

I use them on my nike vr split forged irons and they are as new. I clean and dry my clubs after every round so no chance of rusting

rubber pyramid tees (those horrible ones tied to gether with string...)

to make them impossible to lose - so how come I found some the other day...?

Didn't pick 'em up though.....

I hope you kicked them to bits, certainly the most humane way to rid the world of them.

Trod them into the soft mud - an Archeologist may find them in 500 years and start pondering.....

No head covers, show those bad boys off to the world. Its like dating a supermodel and having her wear a burkha!

 

[GreiginFife]

I use head covers on my irons to prevent clatter and also to prevent noise. I ensure that I dry the head after each shot if it's wet to minimise the cover getting wet and when home they covers are taken off and put on a window sill to dry until needed again. I also do this with driver, fairway and hybrid headcovers as well.
You pay a lot for your gear and you use it a lot and want it to stay at the peak of it's condition surely? Would be like buying a Koenigsegg and never washing it or maintaining it and expecting it to still look and perform as good as it always has.

Some of the guys dating these "supermodels" also dig spuds with her, nevermind make her wear a burkha.

I love the sound of forged heads clicking, the 'damage' isn't bad as long as your not jogging with them.

Actually ordered iron covers yesterday, hope they don't bug the life out of me!

I thought they would Crawford but it gives you an extra moment to "feel" the shot.........
