Iron headcovers - yay or nay?

[lshep97]

I used to use them all the time and never really had an issue losing them. I would just take them off and slip them in my pocket and put back on after swing. Then I just decided to let them go bare and have for 4 years or so. Now seeing this poll makes me wonder if I should get some more to go back to them to protect the forged irons some

There are other options if you want to avoid bag chatter noise and damage.

Strong nay unless you are a lefty playing Mizuno mp18sc with project x 5.5 and wanting to sell cheap. Otherwise they go perfect with 14 club bag divider.

[sdandrea]

Nay. PING irons seem to be indestructible.

[rayguy24]

I picked up a set of covers from Amazon. They’re rubber with a tether that prevents you from losing the cover. Tbh, I thought I’d get tired of them, but they’re pretty decent and I like that my new set of irons are still looking fresh. Do what you want. Who cares what others think.

[rufus mangler]

I know it's nuts but this is my set up with forged irons on a cart. Other than the cast wedges, nothing touches anything else. A lot of thought, (and many beers) went into this.

[rufus mangler]

It ends up looking like this. Who really pays attention to the order of your clubs anyway? (Please excuse my garage floor... and toes)

[sandtrap]

Nay, Nay, Nay, no covers and who gives shat the order, and absolutely no toes in pictures. Come on guys just pick a club, hit the ball and repeat.

[Golfer4Life]

I got a set for my new irons and I have zero regrets. Plus I don't care what others think, lol..

 

The day other people pay for my hobby, then I'll seek their opinion.

 

Like I always say, do as you please and what makes you happy.

[kiwihacker]

I say, do whatever you want. Many here will call you a hack for having them, but who cares. My next bag is going to have iron head covers, a brush on the side, ill be wearing cargo shorts, ill have a ball retriever in the bag at all times and martini tees.

 

Don't forget saddle shoes and a visor hat with clip on magnetic ball marker. ;)

[PaulBallz]

Never used them until recently. Went years hating the sound of irons rattling around as we drove over the course. My regular playing partner got a set, I noticed how much quieter his clubs were, so I bought some too. Could give a flying F what anyone else thinks. And for the few comments I've read saying "never would I let someone play with me that used them", please get the stick that's firmly lodged up your back side out. Why do you care? I'm sure that person could find something about you that annoyed the s*** out of them too.

[dlygrisse]

Do what you want, not for me, but to each his own.

 

I did see a guy the ofher day playing some old school Ping Eye 2’s. SS, not becu. I was seriously shaking my head. The most rugged irons ever made........it’s kinda like putting one of those front end sports car “bras” on a M1 Abrams.

[Jacked_Loft]

If you're man enough to take the inevitable ridiicule, then go for them.

 

Find some way to secure them on your bag however, because the little buggers somehow grow legs.

[larryd3]

I wouldn't but to each his own. Only time they might make sense to me is when air travel is involved and might be good then but I just wrap a couple towels around the irons.

Yep cupcake, that's where I draw the line. Real men don't hide thier driving iron with a headcover.

[Oldnavycdr]

Normally I wouldn't but my brand new Ping G400 irons have that crappy finish coating Ping is using these days. Unlike the bullet proof Pings of old these new ones will show scratches and can look like hell in no time. At some point I'll probably take this finish coating off but for now...Ping shipped the irons with covers on each and I've kept those on....for now. No bag chatter though.

[Arpeggi]

Never use iron headcovers. My forged JDM set is all dinged up but I’d rather lose value on some irons than lose dignity.

[Big Ben]

I have no dog in this game but lose dignity? When a person can’t walk to the bath room that’s loss of dignity. BB

Lol, your issues go beyond iron headcovers.

[Hateto3Putt]

Your use of headcovers has no impact on my game unless your one of those guys who methodically slows the round down by adding 30 seconds to every shot by pissing around and dropping/losing/finding those asinine sheaths.

 

Other than that...enjoy.

[hybrid25]

I usually don't care what anybody does as long as they play ready golf and show respect for their playing partners. I have used iron covers before when my irons were new, but took them off because my irons were starting to rust a bit in certain spots.

[Oz Max]

I have a set of refinished, rechromed MP33s, in absolute pristine condition, they have head covers as I usually walk and carry my bag. Other sets I can't be bothered. I guess it depends if you want to sell your set at some point, small sacrifice.

Using iron headcovers is the golf version of not being able to walk to the bathroom.

[Pleasedwith3putts]

Why are there so many threads where the owners are moaning about the hydropearl finish getting damaged then :taunt:

If you use a cover on your putter, you've already lost your dignity ;)

[putts4bogey]

I use them.

People laugh.

I don’t care.
