I think it depends a lot on what kind of golf bag you have and how the covers seat into the top of the bag. What I mean is, I currently have one of those O.C.D. bags with the little individual club partitions, and a couple of my hybrid iron covers get all scrunched up against the top of the bag and look crummy. Also, the driver has one of those long knit sock-feet on it to cover the shaft, but it won't go through the top of the bag and winds up looking like a ballet dancer's leg warmer.

Now, none of that would probably matter a whole lot to someone who wasn't clinically insane, yet curiously I find it a bit ... troubling ...

I guess what I'm saying is, I'd prefer my head covers a little on the shorter side, so that they'd fit the bag better.

I am looking for opinions on Head Covers.

While protecting clubs they are really a personal preference. I don't get to caught up in the length of the cover, just as long as it does its job of protecting the clubhead and the lower section of the shaft.

Unless I really hate the OEM cover, I usually won't get an aftermarket one and if I do I like Rocket Tour headcovers

I always tell people to toss the headcovers that came from the club manufacturer because its like putting a sign on your bag that says "Hey nice club here, STEAL ME!" The type of cover desn't matter as long as it protects the head. Most long covers aren't needed anymore as bags these days come with graphite shaft protection already on them.

      Titleist GT280 (Mini Driver)

      By WillieT ·

      Kind of reminds me of my first driver - a TM R580 at a whopping 400cc.  Still have one in the stable - and like to hit it on occasion.  Makes me wonder if the Mini-drivers of today are a testing ground to drivers of tomorrow of the powers that be opt to roll back driver head size in conjunction to the ball roll back to limit the overall distance.  I’ve not done a lot of research on shot distances between the mini and regular drivers, but figured there is some.  Will be something to follow as the mini-driver unfolds.

      Are You "Loyal" to One Golf Ball?

      By retoid ·

      I agree with you, at least in regards to myself and playing. I can't really speak much for others. I assume that some people who are playing golf very often can notice more drastic differences. That being said, I do notice some differences here and there and sound and feel definitely have some say in which ball I end up liking. But that seems more psychological than physical. I've only been playing golf regularly for a year now and I'll play almost any ball since I often lose balls. However, since I've been able to get out once a week for a while now, I am down to losing only about 2-3 balls from losing 10-14 per round. Which feels huge for me and so I've begun to narrow down the balls I choose to play with. I've gone through a box of Vice Pro Plus, Vice Pro, Sugar, Titleist DT Trufeel and Kirklands. Bought a bucket of 350 used balls which had a majority of Srixon Soft Feels in there. I decided to give the Soft Feels a try and have really been enjoying them quite a bit. Only yesterday did I hit a Pro V1 for the first time and it felt quite nice. However, that all being said, I have to admit, I've played my best overall with Vice Pro Plus balls. I get the most distance from these balls and am able to hit them quite well. I am not sure on green side spin/grip, I think I'd prefer them to check up a bit more. But I believe one really big factor for me with these balls is that I usually club down when hitting them because I gain so much distance off of them and I also tend to bring my swing speed down which causes me to have a more accurate swing and ball strike. As opposed to trying to whack the snot out of the ball each time, which ends up in a slice 75% of the time. I do love testing out new balls though, sound and feel is always fun to experience.

      More Torqueless Putters

      By retoid ·

      I am in the same boat, I'd love to test a LAB OZ but nobody here has them either and I've never seen one played on any courses I've been on. Nor can I afford/commit to blindly buy something at this price and not know how it works for me. I've been playing a cheapy $60 Wilson Harmonized M1 for a long time and was looking at new putters but the price of a new putter is really off-putting. Thankfully I played in a tournament in November and ended up winning a brand new Taylormade TR B31. Will probably be playing this for a few years until I get to try something like the LAB OZ and once it's been discounted if I like it.
