Rocket Tour Headcovers

shift627 · February 17, 2007

I will be getting a set of these for my driver , 4 wood, and hybrid. I was thinking of getting the classic sox, but was wondering if they would fit snug enough to stay on a 330cc driver or a hybrid.

The reason i ask is because i dont like the look of the other headcovers.

dont they make a driver sock along with a skinny sock?

yea they do, but it fits up to a 460 so i dont know how loose it would be on mine.

You should be fine with the classic sox. I have one on my 3 wood and it is a little roomy.

My Driver has one of the large classic sox on it. My driver is a 580XD 440cc it is fits just fine as well. The large may be a tad big for a 330 cc driver.

Try their customer service, I bet they can help you decide.

The fairway size fits a bit baggy on my 3 wood (at around 200cc), but I'm not sure it's 130cc's worth of bagginess. As was posted above, calling customer service is probably a good idea.

Although they are nice looking, I personally don't care that much for the Rocket Tour headcovers.

There are a number of reasons why I: 1) They are overpriced for the quality and variety of headcover you get; 2) They are made out of a lighter weight yarn and don't seem to last as long; and 3) They are machine knit versus hand knit and are therefore not seamless. The ones that I have seen wear out or come apart usually do so along the seam that has to be stitched to close the headcover.

I have gone completely to the hand knit headcovers that my wife makes. She has been knitting (hats, socks, etc.) for years and started making knitted golf club headcovers recently. Besides myself there are several other people locally that have asked her to make headcovers for them too. Although I may be biased, hers are much more affordable, should wear better and look as good as anything else I've seen. Plus she can make them in virtually any sze or color combination with poms poms ranging from 3" to 6" in size. She is currently working on approximately 8-10 different sets (some include a putter cover) that I may put in the "For Sale Forum" in about a week from now.

For the purpose of this post, I took a picture of a Rocket Tour cover next to one of the covers my wife made me to match my bag. They were both removed from a pair of Hogan Edge CFT hybrids. She also made me matching headcovers for my TaylorMade R510 driver and V-steel 4 wood.

That's my 2 cents worth . . . . Mike
