Who cares about a few nicks on your irons? They don't affect play and they make the clubs yours imo. Personally I like the sound of irons chattering as I walk, music to my ears.

It is a nice sound, and I am sure that not having covers aren't going to do that much damage, but I am the type of person that likes to keep their gear in good condition and increase resale value.

I forgot....there is a bylaw that stipulates that if you use the iron head covers you must wear black dress socks with golf sandals. ;-)

I use the Club Glove Gloveskins and they keep my forged irons in good condition; the money I have invested in the irons justifies it in my opinion.  I understand they're not for everybody but anybody

I cannot stand them.  I kind of like some of the small dings that come along with riding in a cart or just general wear on my irons.  It makes me feel good to have them look like they have been used.

I have a buddy who takes more time putting his Driver cover on, than I EVER will as far as my iron covers. I don't even recover my Driver until the 18th hole. Its the tallest in the bag, what in the world could hurt it?

Im more worried about my driver shaft getting clonked rather than the head! Thats why the headcover goes down a bit(I hate ping headcovers!).

Now instead of iron covers have you considered something like the bagboy clip lok?

Absolutely! I have considered a new bag or some type of attachment. Is that a complete bag setup, or is it something that may fit my current Ogio cartbag? I really, really like my Ogio and would prefer an attachment. Just haven't found one that will properly work with my Ogio.

As far as the Driver shaft getting "clonked". . .I guess that's another reason I keep the iron covers on and I don't worry about the Driver. If every other club, besides my driver is covered, the driver should be okay.

The bagboy clip lok is a bag

Locks the clubs in place so they dont move. I'm considering purchasing that

I dont use them simply because of the hassel of taking them off when taking a shot, then having to put them back on again for a club you use a lot in a round. Plus they are super easy to loose, and I find them a big waste of money.

That's the reason they have a stigma. When I buy irons selling them is the last thing on my mind. I'd rather that they had a few nicks on them rather than picking up a brand new looking iron over and over, I bought them to play with them not to stare at them.

I use the stock ones. Or used to use it, until those little ones came off both my hybrids and got lost, now they're all dinged up. I like those sock style headcovers that protect the shafts from chatter. They don't fall off as easily either. Next set of hybrids, if they come with those little ones, I'm gonna scrap them and get some covers that I won't lose.

The posting policy requires a longer message than that, so this should do the trick.

I use stock, except for my 3 wood (which didn't come with a stock headcover) which I use my Garfield headcover on. I'm kind of thinking about getting an Odie headcover for my driver.

I'm so excited. I'm finally getting custom iron covers. Maybe someone will see and want to gamble a bit.

My swing thoughts:

- Negative thinking hurts more than negative swinging.
- I let my swing balance me.
- Full extension back and through to the target. - I swing under not around my body. - My club must not twist in my swing. - Keep a soft left knee

      Day 34 (14 Dec 25) - Got outside for a few moments to work on bump and runs with the 4h (again using the exaggerated weight shift reminder of the left (lead) heel). Finding that it helps keep the downswing arc extended.

      Driver and Fw3 Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
