PAgolfer2017 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Have researched the heck out of this and gotten different responses. Sent my clubs down through Shipsticks but took my driver head and 3w head off and was planning on stashing them in my carry on. Anyone ever do this/have any issues getting just the club heads through security? I'd rather keep them with me than throw them in my checked luggage.

Kegger Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I take off my driver head and stow it in the side pocket of my bag in the headcover (3w and 5w are not adjustable, so no head pulling). I also use a Stiff Arm, put my rain hood on and pack my towel inside the hood. Oh and to protect my irons I use iron headcovers to keep them from banging against eachother.. Might be a little overkill, but I feel much better knowing there is extra padding on everything.

I do wrap a towel around all the heads then zip my rain hood over the top, but honestly just using a Club Glove is probably why they make it intact each time 1 Quote Rogue SZ 10.5 *NEW* Fujikura Pro Green 65 X Rogue 15 degree Evnflow Blue 6.5 Back in the Bag Z765 4-G Nippon Modus 120 Stiff 54 and 60 Amazing Grace Ass Kicker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWar Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I travel with clubs very regularly. I always put my rain cover on the bag and weave my towel through my iron heads. I had historically traveled with a club glove bag and it was great. I did have an issue with my driver shaft splitting just above the ferrule. I can only imagine it was bc the bag was thrown and the driver to the brunt of the hit. So now I use a spine in my bag to travel. I have also switched to a hardshell KSB case because sometimes I will ship my clubs and like that security. I don't take the heads off. Downside of a hardshell case is that its bulky and at times will not fit in the mid-size/full-size rental car trunks unless I drop the backseat. I like the Club Glove in that respect. Also there is zero additional room in the hardshell case. If I ever need to add anything to the hardshell it is a super tight fit. Overall I will still use the hardshell case but have my Club Glove too. 1 Quote Epic Flash SZ 9o w/ Ventus 6X Rogue 4wd w/ ATMOS Red 7X CBX 20o w/ ATMOS Blue 7S tipped 1" JPX 900 Tour 4i - PW (standard lofts) Rifle SM6 51o, 59o, SM7 55o 2019 ProV1x Custom Ming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerkoMcGee Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 How often does everyone find that TSA searches their bag and messes with how they packed their clubs - is it different for international flights? I'm headed to Scotland at the end of May and have a soft travel bag. Just wondering if i should tape towels around the irons or if that would just piss off security more and leave them less likely to give a damn about my clubs. 1 Quote Driver: Ping G30 LS Tec 10.5 Hybrid: TaylorMade JetSpeed 3, 4 Irons: Mizuno JPX 800 4 to PW Wedges: Cleveland RTX-3 50*, 56*, 60* Putter: Odyssey O-Works #1 Wide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGoBlue100 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I travel mostly from a small airport in the Carolinas. TSA there dicks with my bag almost every trip. Rearranged clubs, unzipped pockets, sometimes straps aren't even secured on the outside of the bag. Jackholes. At other “major†airports, I rarely have an issue. Perhaps they have too much to do, and the idiots at my home airport have too much time on their hands? Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy 4 Quote "Where'd it go?" "Right in the Lumberyard..."
