A Vince Carter or Tmac with that old school cartoon raptor could be a pretty cool cover.

 

Both of those guys abandoned us! The only acceptable headcovers are Lowry, Derozan (preferred) or Kawhi because he won the title before abandoning us!

With solid forgings there is only so much mass to move around, although I would like to believe that OEMs are getting better at figuring out where that mass is best used. 

Yeah, agreed. Technology is probably maxed out for Blades and CB’s, so now most of the refinements are in the details, and in the Distance and Game Improvement Irons.

Haha…yes, you guys are speaking my language for sure!! 🏀🙌🏽

 

Unfortunately the only Raptors headcover I’ve ever come across were the putter ones released by TM recently for the Spyders.
 

Sorry to my American friends, but that’s another clear example of the Anti-Raptors and Anti-Canadian bias from corporate America.

 

If I had my pick of All-Time Raptors to choose from though, I’d probably go Old-School with Damon Stoudamire, or go current with a Scotty Barnes headcover!! 🦖🦖🦖

Mighty Mouse! Good call…loved how he played.

There are a few Canadian companies that can make a Raps headcover and if you have an old jersey they can use that too.

Yeah, Mighty Mouse was the first Raptors superstar and put them on the map!

 

I agree with @MtlJeff on Vince & TMac. I’ll never forgive or forget how Vince went out, and enjoyed booing him every time he came back with the Nets.

 

Lowry and DeRozan are the greatest Raptors of All-Time to me, and Chris Bosh is on the Mount Rushmore also.

 

Kawhi was absolutely INCREDIBLE while he was here and never imagined the Raps would maybe ever win a Championship. But hate that we had to lose DeRozan for 6mths of Kawhi, and was never a fan of that trade although it was obviously a Homerun result for that season.

Oh we're definitely in agreement. The title was very bittersweet to me, because Derozan was the first guy who stayed through a 2nd contract, openly talked about wanting to be the best Raptor ever , turned down his home city to stay in Toronto even.....and then we did him super dirty. 

 

I would do a do-over on that trade if given the opp, even giving up the title. Derozan somehow got even better in his early 30s, Derozan, Van Vleet , Siakam and Anunoby would still be together. Maybe they could still have gotten it done, or be a favorite this year

Sorry for the delay, there's Raw Hide Golf and Tees to Green both have an Instagram page with their work and a few jersey covers. Both are also in Canada so cost won't be as bad as in the US. There was one more I think but cannot find them.

Thanks to @MattM97for the recommendation and shout out to Tees to Green for their incredible work on this custom headcover! This one will probably end up being my favourite in 2023…GO RAPTORS!! 🇨🇦😎

How's the quality and did you send in a jersey or did they just source it and charge you for it?

Quality is very good! Feels very well made and high quality.

 

No, they already had the jersey in stock on their end and got it done and sent out. Love it…it’s definitely going to be a go-to!

Good to know I may get something from them in the future but I have some covers on their way for my bag.

Yeah man, definitely recommend them for sure! They included a hand-written note and custom Tees as well.
 

I always appreciate working with people and companies that appreciate me back…just makes me want to support them more in the future!

 

Looking forward to seeing the new covers also…I’ll be staying tuned!

I'll post them in a few weeks when I can pick them up just lots of work travel. But I will be updating my WITB thread this weekend hopefully have some "new" wedges coming in.

Are we witnessing the transition from club ho to headcover ho right before our eyes😂?

Bahaha!!! Man, being a headcover Ho is definitely much cheaper, that’s for sure, Lol!!

 

The re-sale market for headcovers sucks though, so they’re a sunken cost that can’t really be flipped. Advantage, Clubs!! 😉🤣

[MtlJeff]

In the past week I've ordered new irons and a new putter. 

 

Your move @BallerNate

[BallerNate]

Haha… @MtlJeffwants a Club Ho battle, I love it!! 🤣🤣🤣

 

I’ve been doing my usual browsing this Winter, but I’m trying so hard to hold off and not replace anything until during the season at the earliest.

 

I’ve been doing well so far by instead buying a new bag and new headcovers, and this was the next project I did over the last few days to stay busy and keep my mind off missing Golf and buying unnecessary clubs. Finished it yesterday while watching the PNC Championship!! 😎🙌🏽

Nicely done. But if you’re not going to buy more clubs… you need more shoes. #feedtheaddiction 😉
