The vagueness of product description is purposeful and thought out by the marketers for sure. “Increased Playability” may mean something completely different to you than it does to me. It’s how the reader interprets it. Either way...whatever emotional attachment or thought I personally have to “increased playability” or how it’s different from you ultimately doesn’t matter. As long as it gets people to buy the product. It’s kind of like psychics and palm readers and all of that. They keep it vague, tell most people the same thing and the customers interpret and apply that to themselves. One thing the “fortune teller says” may resonate with you and me in completely different ways. Each of the below can probably be broken down a bit too and focused on a certain group of buyers and their specific problems. Marketing is to solve people’s problems or issues they’re having and/or to invoke an emotional reaction to buy something. My opinion on what each of the lines below are targeting: Increased Playability (Have the opportunity to hit more balls in play) More Tour Inspired Shaping (Hit just like your favorite pro) Added More Controllability (This club will fix your slice/hook/ball striking) Confidence Building Sound (instant feedback/I hate how my driver sounds off a tee) More Pleasing Color Pallette (I hate how my clubs look/ THAT driver looks cool) A Feel More Like What Better Players Want (these new set of clubs will make you feel like the better player that you are) Improved Visuals At Address (No more confusion/second guessing while you’re setting up/about to hit the ball) Optimized Center Of Gravity (more balanced) More Precise Head Weighting (finely tuned weight that will cause more stability and longer balls due to tweak of weight) Improved Architecture (looks better?) Fine Tuned Launch And Trajectory (technical things that may sway certain people with fancy words) Easy To Swing Profile (Made for anyone!) Ofcourse, I could be completely wrong about the whole thing and maybe every new set of clubs will “increase playability” Just my two cents. But for some reason I’m feeling like I could use a new set of clubs...

As long as you don’t confuse the two it sounds like a good system.

That sir, is a great point. I suppose leaving them on while they sit in the garage is useless compared to keeping them on during the round while the clubs are banging around in the cart / walking. To be fair. I've never thought so much about head covers and their usage so much since joining this forum, so thank you for that. 😅

I typically take them off and chuck them into the cart basket until the end of the round and forget about it. I'll certainly agree that fiddling with them mid round is a pain. I've always wondered what most people do and it seems like tucking them neatly into the bag / onto alignment sticks is the move. Thanks for all of the responses. This forum is pretty sweet.

I've always been curious about this, especially since I've lost a few head covers and always see a few sprinkled on the course.

I'll do my best to get it done and have some fun along the way. I don't have any particular courses in mind. But whenever I travel I try to get to a course nearby, if the trip isn't dedicated just for golf. If you have any suggestions of your favorites, feel free to let me know. Thanks for the response.

Hello everyone! I'm happy I was able to find this forum and further my obsession with golf. I have been playing for about 8 years or so with a high handicap that will be (hopefully) dramatically reduced by the end of this year after I take a few lessons. Either way, I really enjoy the game, fellow golfers and the social aspects of the game. There's nothing like a beautiful day, hitting some nice shots and having a cigar with the guys. I'm on a journey of golfing in every state. I've already crossed Alaska off the list and that had to have been the hardest to do. I'm looking forward to hearing from everyone on the forum and to this upcoming season. Cheers!
