It’s like wearing a pair of sweatpants, but classy. The mobility you get out of them is outstanding. Yoga, golf, running, office work, travel… im done with normal pants. I don’t cere if I am almost 40. Joggers are my go to for pants. So much more comfortable than unstrechable “pants” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titleist87 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 (edited) I use iron covers for the same reason I keep my woods and putter covered, to protect from dings. It makes absolutely no sense to me to not use covers on soft forgings. Why cover your Scotty/Betti/JDM putter but not your irons? If my covers bother you, then you have bigger problems and probably wear a white belt.

Getting enough exercise was already a problem for a large part of the population. I'm actually kicking myself for having opted to leave my mountain bike in AZ... didn't want to mess with the rack. Figured I'd buy another when we got back.... then I saw prices... RU Kidding Me?

Kenny B Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 OK... I take a stab at getting this thread back on track. I have head covers for my irons. There, I said it!! They go on my irons when I put my bag in the airline travel bag (Club Glove), and they come off when I get where I'm going.

chisag Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 ... I will never understand people that say they will never understand people. We have both sides of never understand in this thread. Never understand people that use head covers and never understand people that don't use head covers . Here is the answer: people are different. I appreciate purists that like a good worn forged iron with battle scars all over every club head. I appreciate those that use iron covers to keep their tools looking as nice as possible. I just don't give a rodents posterior how you organize your bag or what you have in it. Do you enjoy golf and are you a nice person, pleasant to spend 4 hours or so at a reasonable pace with while playing a game which is basically grown ups recess? That's really all the counts in my book. GaDawg, Tom the Golf Nut, fixyurdivot and 3 others 6 Quote Driver: Qi10 10.5* ... Ventus Red Velocore 5R Fairway: Qi10 5 wood ...

3ironpunch Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 All great comments here.. I have gone covered or uncovered at various times. For some, I am sure it can be a form, function or even fashion statement. For me, an iron cover decision is functional to keep the bag chatter down or keep from losing a badge off the back of an iron. As I like to tell my buddies that play, "My sponsor dumped me so I am out of pocket for equipment". With the high cost of equipment I try to keep my gear cared for. Not that is helps residual value, but if I want to give my set to my son or brother when I upgrade, I would like the irons to be presentable at the very least. And if someone like my choice of iron covers, great. If they don't, that's great too, either way it's a conversation. fixyurdivot, silver & black and chisag 3 Quote Callaway Big Bertha Fusion Heavy 10.5 closed face setting Callaway Razor Fit 3 wood Nickent 3 Hybrid XR-OS 4i - 9i factory steel stiff 2 up +1 Ben Hogan 44,48,52,56 Nickent PP-01 Maxfli Tour Center of Gravity model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't mean to imply that everyone should think alike or that there should be no conversation on this. I guess I'm used to another golf forum where this topic always involves a lot of derision and name calling. silver & black 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a low index using forged irons I should be the prototypical iron head cover hater but I would absolutely use iron head covers if 1) I didn't lose them because I have enough problems keeping track of one putter head cover and 2) they weren't cumbersome to use.

I used iron covers for a couple seasons after getting my new Wilson Staff Tour Blades. Gorgeous clubs. But I stopped because as you said I kept losing them and they were a pita especially when playing quickly. chisag and GaDawg 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWL_9 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I don't understand why people get so worked up about some people using iron covers. Worry about your own bag *this can be said about a lot of things in life these days though My old bag, the irons would click together when they were in my car so I got cheap iron covers just to stop the annoyance when I was driving. For whatever reason, I haven't noticed it as much with my new bag. chisag 1 Quote Bag: Big Max Dri Lite Summit Black/Red Driver: Callaway GBB Epic - Project X HZRDUS Smoke Green Small Batch "Hulk" 3 Wood: Callaway Epix Max - Aldila Ascent Red 2 Iron: TaylorMade Stealth UDI - LA Golf A Series Hybrid 4-AW Irons: TaylorMade P790 - KBS Tour 120g Stiff (1/4" long, 2* upright) 54* & 58* Wedges: Callaway Jaws MD5 Putter: Mizuno M Craft I Blue Ball: Vice Pro Plus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
