Hefty profit?? Are they expensive??? Not familiar with them

Yeah they're stupid expensive. Way overpriced for what they are and mostly a racquet IMO. But again, people buy them up so the market's there. 

Here is the same one on eBay..

I'm not one for super fancy head covers. Especially when the cover costs more than the club it's covering. 

However.. while perusing the local Offer Up, I happened to spot this nugget among a bundle of about 20 new random head covers in a selling photo. 

$20!! 

Now the question is, do I actually use it? Or do I flip it for a hefty profit to fund other club purchases?  I know these SWAG covers are way more hype than they're worth. But.. there is a market, and they aren't cheap. 

 

The first question is did you overpay because it is a knockoff.

Probable need to determine if it is an authentic SWAG headcover.

Man this is sick. I’m not one to get hardcovers other than what come with the clubs. The only ones I have that aren’t stock are a Kapalua blade putter cover that’s collecting dust and one from my high school that my dad found that was in the lost and found at his course for months and just took. Define “hefty” profit and I might be interested

Man that's what I looked all over for! I figured there was some kind of catch but couldn't find anything about counterfeits on these. I can suck up $20 if It's a fake. At that point I'll just use it and not rip someone else off. 

Thanks for showing me this!

Wish I could help you determine if it was a real one or not.  Based on Cameron covers it has to do with the stitching between the letters and other subtle things.

I’m sure this could be faked as well, but was it in the swag packaging (like the eBay listing)?

That's what I'm thinking too. Yeah no packaging. The packaging seems to be the certificate of authenticity. 

I'm not mad though. For $20 it's still a cool cover that I'll definitely use. The embroidery is actually pretty good looking.

You could check the tags too - I think that's also a flaw on the fakes. Also, check their archive - there are only 24 of that cover made (which is where that market value comes from), and the material looks glittery: https://swag.golf/products/rwb-melting-skull-pop-driver-special?_pos=2&_psq=Melting+skull+pop&_ss=e&_v=1.0

Thanks for sharing. I think I found the giveaway. 

The "A" in SWAG is different. Although the logo on mine is a version of their logo, it's not the same as the logos on the website for this cover. 

I'm almost certain it's one of the covers from Ali Express that @cnosilposted. The guy didn't list it as a SWAG cover so no shade to him. I think $20 is reasonable for a decent knockoff.

Well I went to South Florida flea market yesterday where I have scored some serious finds in the past, Go back about five years and I was playing one of my favorite drivers I've ever hit the Callaway GBB Epic original not the Flash with a Fujikura Atmos 6S in it and was hitting tremendous numbers with it but it was stolen when some piece of trash took my entire bag from the bag drop at Bethpage in NY. I haven't been able to find one like it since as it seems all for sale were Epic Flash which I didn't like. Fast forward to yesterday and I was stunned to find the exact head still in plastic from 2017 and a handful of Masters edition Fuji Atmos 6S shafts!!!! I thought the guy was joking when he said "I can't let it go cheap I will need like 100 bucks for the lot" I have never produced 100 so fast and think I actually shouldered another guy out of the deal!!! Stopped and grabbed a few grips to see what would look best?? What do we think???

Ohhh. I am so jealous! I miss my old Epic driver. What a great deal!

I vote to keep it! That thing looks nice nice! Even if it’s fake it’s still a nice looking cover

Those look like either C-Taper or C-Taper Lites. I might be biased but those are probably some of my favorite shafts, especially with that unique look.

Yea c taper lite 115x! I saw they had limited edition black last minute but they were already built haha.

I currently have the CTL 110g Stiff in my King MiM and C-Taper R+ in my two wedges. If they had an option  for a R+ in the Limited Black I would pick those up in a heartbeat. They look soooooo good in person.

They are beautiful and feel incredible when hit dead center but they were just not forgiving enough for me and I so wanted them to be but I couldn't hit them out of the rough with any kind of consistency but as I said when struck dead center the feel and sound was straight

Ill let you in on a little Fairway wood hack I just did. These Sim 2 Max lady flex clubs are being sold for $30 shipped. Theyre demos and their heads are mint. The male and female heads are identical in SIM 2 series. 

https://www.ebay.com/itm/196187599383

Get the womans flex club at the super discounted price and pull the shaft (no worry if you mess it up if youre not using it) 

Place in shaft of choice....In my case a Kuro Kage I got for $30

and for $60 you got a brand new Sim 2 Max 5 Wood.  Im really enjoying it.

 

 

 

Edit: You can do the same for the Hybrids. I got a womans flex new for $20 at same place.

Reshafted and new Sim2 Max 5 hybrid

Hello my golf brothers and sisters. Sometimes, listening to one PGA Tour golfer give advice to another PGA Tour golfer can actually help you, too!!! That is exactly what I experienced recently in regard to making a putter change. About three weeks ago while watching the Genesis Invitational, I happened to catch the conversation where Rory McIlroy (my favorite golfer) was discussing the putting struggles of Scottie Scheffler. After humbly admitting that he himself has had his own putting woes, he said that maybe Scheffler should switch from a blade to a mallet putter. Rory stated that the mallet provides more forgiveness and helps the golf ball stay more on line with off-center strikes. Hmm???

I have been struggling with my putting as well, having only used a blade putter since the onset of my short golfing "career". So, after hearing Rory's advice to Scottie, I decided that maybe this switch could help me as well. Therefore, I tested a wide variety of different mallet putters, completed a voluminous amount of research, and finally selected this beauty: the Evnroll ER7v. What an amazing difference! I immediately started sinking more putts and shaving off strokes. With this simple change, I have high hopes of finally breaking 80 this year! Thanks Rory!!!

Nice find @KOG, those 5 hybrids are pretty tempting…
