WTB "Face Savers" or Similar Type Vintage Blades Covers


Wade Patton

Recommended Posts

They're old, they're vinyl and slip snugly on/off to the tiny blades of yesteryear. I just don't like my irons beating each other to death in the bag, and I've tried the "new-type" neoprene covers and they're just too big, they'll hardly stay on and they don't provide as much protection.

I still have a partial set for my main clubs, but "new" vintage sets of irons keep following me home...

Hope somebody has a dusty old set in a closet, shed, or garage that can be purchased reasonably. Let me know what you've got, Thanks!

Thanks,
I've seen those but not tried them out, I figured they'd be loose all but the lock on 70's-80's blades. The neoprene-type are just too hard to keep on.  I found a full NOS set of the old-type Face Savers on ebay and made an offer. They're in the mail. I reckon I should close the ad. But then I might buy more in case I acquire more sets of oldies. so I can get another set of old irons in good condition.

Those pictured above are exactly what I need--they're a perfect fit for the old sticks. Yes I would buy another set. RH any color.

Well I've got all I need at present. Picked 'em off Ebay. 

But I'd buy another NOS set if anyone runs across such.

    • Day 139- Slow, swings with short practice club. 
    • You might want to try a can of Bar Keepers Friend. Yes, it is abrasive, so just wet a sponge and dab it on. It has oxalic acid (no bleach like "Comet" kitchen cleanser), and it works wonders on stainless steel and other metals. Try it on a small area first to see what happens.
    • Fair   My uneducated thought: the big miss is the penalty area. If you want to optimize score, missing into the bunker (likely 5) is better than missing right into the penalty (possible 6). With that, your strategy seems sound and if you hit a committed shot, you get a bunker 5% of the time, take your medicine and hopefully get a putt for par but accept bogey. You may find yourself in a penalty situation 2-3% of the time and accept the associated outcome. The vast majority of the time though you are giving yourself a good approach shot into the green. 
    • I walk 30 mins a day on my lunch break. It is not very intense (since i dont want to get sweaty in my work clothes), so just a touch above leisurely. 3 days a week I walk on the treadmill for 60 mins. I alternate the incline from 4 to 10 for a couple minutes, once every ten minutes. I lift my kettlebells nearly everyday. I have a couple complex routines. I find just 15 minutes and my heart rates is elevated
