I think hitting your driver 13-14 times is more of a red flag then using iron head covers lmao

I too for years have been made fun of for using iron head covers. But as many golfers here have said the cost of the irons themselves is reason enough I don’t. Understand with todays prices why you not want to protect them from damage also I spent 1300 on titleist iron not going to let them beat each other up!!and I don’t like noise either

I believe in joking people every now and then but destroying their property. So Not Right!! I have used iron covers in the past and they slid off my irons and we're never turned in. I don't begrudge people who use them....after all a lot of money is spent on them and you want that perfect condition when you trade, sell or donate them.

I use cover for my irons, keeps them looking new and no rust issues. If don't want use them don't, as the old saying goes "Pay your money and take your pick"

Slow play is cause by players that play slow, not whether the person using head covers or not and it is not a sign of a players ability either. I can be in the 1st comp group on a sunday at my local course and walk the 9300 yards from the 1st tee to off the 18th green in a foursome in 2hrs 30 mins if we don't run into anybody who is playing 9 holes on the back 9. Pace of play is expected to complete a comp rounds in 4 hours

In my opinion, if you don't want to play slow,
1 Start thinking about your next shot before you get to your ball, estimate distance lie trouble ahead etc, don't wait until you are over your ball until you engage in your next shot.
2 Know how far each club goes, know your shape and flight for each club,
3 Commit to your shot and hit it.
4 Pay attention to the flight of your ball to see what the wind did to it, did it land short or long by how much, so you can make a better decision over the ball, club extra or less for the next shot or next hole
5 Continue your conversation when you start to walking/driving to your ball again

After reading about the T200 polymer backplate issues, I'm considering using iron covers for the first time in 35+ years in golfing.

I have used headcovers for years for a couple of reasons. It keeps my expensive irons looking new. I walk most rounds and can walk without my clubs clanging around in my bag like a cow bell without disturbing someone else who is going through their pre-shot routine and shot.

I have a towel I wipe my irons off after every shot so my iron is dry when I put the headcover back on. I haven't ever had a problem with rust on my irons.

As far as slow play, we walk 18 holes on a 6,500 yard course between 2:45 and 3:15 as a foursome. Nothing slow about using head covers.

It is a personal choice, but I feel using headcovers allows me to keep moving toward my next shot without disturbing someone else's game.

Why doesn’t Titleist offer iron covers for their irons? They do protect your golf club investment. It is hard using cally iron covers on my Titleist clubs. It is just not right….

I'm thinking about getting some, but haven't yet

No, absolutely not!

I started using iron covers 20 years ago when I worked at a golf shop that refused or low-balled irons marred by other clubheads.

There are other benefits:

Quiet. Whether walking, riding picking a club during someone else's routine and swing, or schleppung clubs in the trunk, they make minimal noise.

Anti-theft. Why pick the unknown clubs to steal when you can see a sure thing in somebody else's uncovered irons? Why advertise to everybody "brand new PXG irons, ripe for theft!"

Aesthetics. I rented a set of Titleist AP1 in Hawaii some years ago. The clubs were brand new demos and by my third round with them the top line of the 4-iron had a ding dead-center from clinking another iron. I've had my forged irons for 6 years (always covered) and played Titleist DCI Black OS for 20 years before that (covered for 15 years). No top-line dings, which are distracting.

Fewer left behind clubs. If I take a 7-iron, a wedge, and a putter to the side of the green for a chip-in I decide which iron to use, remove the headcover to my pocket, hit the shot, and retrieve the ball from the cup. Ideally. And when I leave the green if there's still an iron cover in my pocket I know there's a weapon left around the green.

Safer for graphite shafts, which gives more options for wood headcovers as you don't have to use a headcover that's built -up purely to prevent irons from banging into the graphite.

I'm looking at PMG TPU Wood Headcover and iron covers right now. They look fast, protective, and colorful in addition to being environmentally a better choice than other plastic and neoprene offerings.

As for club cleaners at golf courses...

I remove all headcovers so as to refrain from from pawning the job off to somebody else.

And if I leave them on there's an extra tip.

Not !!!! They are beautiful brand new and without knicks ans dings from clanging around in the bag, just personal opinion.

I always had second (and third hand) irons so I really didn't care about iron covers until I bought my first set of brand new custom fit Titleist 710 AP1s.
Ever since then I use my covers religiously. I'm about to get rid of my 716s AP2 which I have the covers on. My next set will also have covers

1. Slow players slow down play, not me using my covers.
2. Slow players slow down play.
3. I can play a 3 1/2 hour round with anyone..
4. Slow players slow down play.
5. I can grab my club. Stick cover in back pocket, hit my shot, wipe my club and put the cover back on in under a minute.!!! HELLO not slow
6. Slow players slow down play.
7. If your best tee shot rolls out 250yds, then you don't have to wait for the green to clear when you're 250 yds out..
8. Slow player slow down play.
9. Not judging but the guy with 30 balls in his bag (not one of them NEW) and a 6pack of beer is SLOW.
10. I LOVE BEER
11. SLOW PLAYERS SLOW DOWN PLAY.

I take my tri-fold towel and wrap it all the way around my club shafts and then tuck the end of the towel into the top of the bag. Clubs heads will still rub together I suppose, but at least there is no clanking.

Brad H — Mon, 10 May 2021 03:24:29 GMT

They stay on when I am transporting my clubs. They come off before the round and go back on right after. I still have my last 3 sets of clubs, the oldest from 2001 and they all look like new.

RE: Iron headcovers, or no?

Jonathan Smith — Mon, 10 May 2021 01:29:41 GMT

Still a hard pass for me.

RE: Iron headcovers, or no?

Brad H — Sun, 09 May 2021 21:43:12 GMT

I use to always use them to protect my clubs. Now, I use them between rounds to keep them from banging together in the back of my car. They come off before the round and back on right after. To each his own.

RE: Iron headcovers, or no?

Robert J — Sun, 09 May 2021 17:17:16 GMT

I use them when I travel, the rest of the time, like to hear the chatter when I am walking.

I have been using covers for years. Never had an issue

RE: Iron headcovers, or no?

Robbie D — Sun, 10 Jan 2021 18:54:46 GMT

I have never used them and I feel that the head covers will just get dirty really quickly and it causes the clubs to rust easier so for me it’s a no. Although I do see a reason to why people do use them to keep their new irons in good condition

RE: Iron headcovers, or no?

JESUS D — Sun, 10 Jan 2021 18:44:14 GMT

I personally don’t use them everyday. Sometimes when I travel. I will say this clubs are expensive and if you want to use them, go for it!
