Take note of the number of bids already.
Beware.
They walk among us.

"But I don't want my new irons getting marks from hitting each other in the bag"
You swing the thing between 70-100mph (depending on your seed) hitting a ball off grass etc
I think they will be fine in the bag

...and not only do they hit things off grass, they plough through the grass and rip it up and will often encounter small stones you can’t see in passing.
They are my ‘tools of the trade’…I don‘t let them get damaged unnecessarily, but I am not precious about them getting scratched or small dints and dings. It happens.

Agreed. I wonder what people with iron covers do when they're in a stony fairway bunker, or a bit of shrapnel under the trees. Just take a stroke a distance penalty and go back to the tee?

Keep the covers on when they play the shot?Agreed. I wonder what people with iron covers do when they're in a stony fairway bunker, or a bit of shrapnel under the trees. Just take a stroke a distance penalty and go back to the tee?

Besides, hearing the gentle clack of my irons as I walked was a sound that was (I suppose quite weirdly) part of my getting to love the game. As I mostly don’t carry these days I do miss it, and so its nice when I carry a half set. Takes me back to my early days playing. As I said, rather weirdly comforting - maybe it’s an AMSR thing.Agreed. I wonder what people with iron covers do when they're in a stony fairway bunker, or a bit of shrapnel under the trees.

If my mate’s view is the prevailing one for iron cover fans, then it’s nothing to do with protecting them but, unlike SilH and myself, he hates the sound of the gentle clack

They use the leather wedge of course.Agreed. I wonder what people with iron covers do when they're in a stony fairway bunker, or a bit of shrapnel under the trees. Just take a stroke a distance penalty and go back to the tee?
this post needs reporting and you deserve a long ban to think about the consequences of posting such filth
the best "club" for some golfers as its quite versatile

I use them when I am taking them abroad, because I've seen how some (not all!) luggage handlers abuse the bags!

I used to use iron covers, I couldn’t help it, I was addicted to keeping the irons sparkling. I eventually dragged myself along to IHCA meetings and I’m pleased to say I’m now in recovery. 3 years clean.

I was doing a public service by way of a warning.
And its not only Taylormade that are responsible for these repulsive abominations.
I've never come across any made by the more reputable manufacturers like John Letters or Gradidge.

8 bids from the same person.
They are an excellent contraceptive. I can't imagine anyone who uses iron covers has ever had sex

My pal uses the excuse "I don't like the sound of them clanging when I'm using my carry bag" Get a 14 divider carry bag then, and why do you use them when you're pushing/in a buggy as well?

That actually makes it worse in my experience, not better. The 14 dividers just position them all 2 inches apart, perfect radius for clanging together. In a properly designed 5-divider bag, the irons rest against each so they don't really click against one another.

Not me - you could have inferred from the text that I simply changed from a 14-divider to a 5-divider bag.That be iron cover user talk
