Iron headcovers for forged irons

[Kevblue]

I've just ordered a set of MP-54's, my first set of forged irons, and I've been told they dint and get damaged when clattering in the bag.

A mate of mine uses headcovers to avoid this with his forged irons but I hate the look of iron headcovers.

Anyone else bother with them?

I did when i first started using my New MP4's but once the season started don't bother and only use them now if i carry.

does keep them dink free, a guy i play with got a set after mine and his looked much older than mine after the first few months.

No i don't bother on my MP53s and wont when I get my AP2s.

You may have started something though..........

Popcorn anyone....




I have cast irons and I use them :thup: Hate bag clatter and hate the little dings and marks said clatter leaves!

 

[Oddsocks]

I have the new mc forged irons which dinked very quickly, after two rounds the covers went on. Yep they look crap, but so do tatty clubs

 

[User20205]

Tatty clubs look cool, like a proper golfer.

Headcovers don't.

There's a special circle of hell reserved for anyone that uses them

I did buy them for my JPX850's but got fed up with them last week and they are off now

Would having a headcover saved the sole of my pitching wedge as it was introduced to a rock the size of a babies head buried in a bunker?

Nope :angry:

Golf clubs are tools for playing the game. Not ornaments fit keeping pristine.

Yep you should see the state of my hammer!!

Forged irons may well get rust spots if you use covers.

Ping advised me against using covers with my i25 irons and they are cast.

I'll see your scratch, and raise you a crater. Buried stone in the rough at Sherwood Forest.



Here's all of them. 2 1/2 years playing at least twice a week.

I did consider this when I got my Bridgestones but decided against it in the end

To be honest mines have practically no bag chatter after 3 years, you lot must be jogging round the course to make marks on them

 

[HomerJSimpson]

I have had them before and they definitely help. However they are a pain especially in the wet and in the end I decided they were going to get marked. I think using my electric trolly must help reduce bag chatter damage but at the end of the day they are never going to stay pristine and it's all too much effort

 

[Bazep]

Headcovers on my ap2's... For now at least. I may well get fed up with them but I'd like to keep my shiny's as shiny as possible. The sound of bag clatter also does my head in tbh.

 

[Tommo21]

I use em.....no issues......no cluncking or clicking as you go along, new looking clubs after 6 months. Resale value much higher. Simple.

Take your headcovers off your driver and 3 wood if it's not cool, they're a bugger when it rains as well...

 

[ruff-driver]

I have always used them and will continue to do so regardless of the names i could be called.

My current set of covers match my TW forged blades :ears:

Soft forged irons will get some minor nicks and knocks, commonly called bag chatter. I think this just gives them a bit more character, and have never ever used iron covers on multiple sets of forged clubs over 30+ years. Real golfers don't use iron covers.

The golfers I have played with that use head covers seem to spend an age taking them on and off, it seems to be a bit of a fight. They also seem to be always looking for the one that has fallen off somewhere. I get the desire to keep them pristine but what a faff. Let them age gracefully, take off the covers.

 

[Ethan]

Said it before, will say it again. I have never played with a good low handicapper who used iron covers.
