Iron headcovers for forged irons

[alexbrownmp]

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...

I beg to differ, the resale value is the same unless they have huge gouges- normal bag chatter is life and the clubs appreciate it

Anyone who uses iron covers but slams the clubs at 90MPH into the ground hasn't really thought it through

I also have never seen anyone below roughly a 9 handicap using them, they are a faff, look ridiculous and slow the game down.

disagree with that 2 of my mates us them, ones off the other 2, i think one of the scratch players at the club has some as well.

there are always the exceptions to any rule or comment. I can only assume they are mature gentlemen or possibly Scottish and protecting their investment? no offense, but they will be in a very very small minority.

Definitely a Scottish thing.

Tommo is a low handicapper and together with Patrick's mate surely that's enough proof. Can we call that sample statistically significant Ethan?

There are some things that are inexcusable; iron covers, sock suspenders and trousers from the Sunday supplement!!!

I'm cat 1 and use them when i carry, but thats not that often... i hate walking around the course sounding like a heard of cows in the alps coming in for milking

I like a bit of chatter, saves me talking to the knobs I play with

Play on your own a lot then

Iron covers! Blimey, it's a slippery slope from there to a chipper!

Note what I said - I have never played with a low handicapper that uses them. I didn't say no low handicapper ever would. I have been playing a long time though, and with many low handicappers, and 2 would not be a statistically valid sample size.

I have played with some high handicappers who use them though, sometimes on clubs they want to protect and other times on clubs they should hide :swing:

 

[Oddsocks]

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

My pp is off 4 and uses them on his nice new mp4's

:rofl:You not use iron covers then?

 

[palindromicbob]

Slow play can't be down to iron head covers any more than driver,fairway,hybrid or putter covers. I'd argue they are simply slow players that are faffing around to much.

As for how they look. Who gives a dlying duck. Each to their own.

You have to laugh

Some folks will happily shroud their woods, hybrids and putters (even their DMD’s) into covers all in the name of protection, but give them an iron cover and they think Beelzebub must’ve fashioned it

I actually think lots would like to use them but they’re so afraid of the banter that they dare not. They’re happier to damage the clubs just to save face and ‘fit in’ with the crowd rather than be true to themselves or they come out with ludicrous statements about slowing pace down

Its one second off and one second on (normally done while the Cat 1 & 2 golfer is picking his glove out his back pocket because that's where he saw a pro on the tellybox keep his so he continues taking it off/on after every shot, jeez while we're young guys!)

Like your style!
I've used them.
If iron covers slow play to a crawl, the protagonist obviously lacks opposable thumbs.
If it takes you more than 3 seconds to take one off and put it back on again then you haven't evolved with the rest of us and are the new "missing link".
The amount of time wasted carefully arranging your glove in your back pocket vastly outweighs the time taken with covers.

Do they do chipper covers?

Ask Smiffy or Rosie...!

Mine came with a matching cover (so I know it must be a quality piece of kit!)

Some people just ask to burn in Hell - having a Chipper AND a headcover........
