I used to use headcovers for my Mizuno blades to prevent them from "dinging eachother" in the bag. I was not a big fan of playing with them covered and having to remove the covers for each shot. Also, there is a bit of a "geek" connotation to iron covers. Then I found the Bennington golf bag which has a slotted top which the irons rest on to keep them in place. It works perfectly. This is not the "rack" which sits on top of the bag and looks like some torture device. Anyway, my irons are four years old and look brand new.

As an addendum, may I say that I don't comprehend the need for iron headcovers, whatsoever. Afterall, we do strike irons into the GROUND--rocks and all--so I can't quite grasp the importance of protecting between between periods of use as a glorified hoe.

I use some very sad head covers to deter thieves. Of course, it can hardly be said that I have the latest, greatest woods, but tempting fate is for fools. Actually, I'm toying with the idea of heading to Brookside with a bag full of Goodwill woods covered by the latest headcovers and see what fool tries to steal them. Sitting in the bar, I could make quite a day of it.

I think these covers (for the woods only, I think) make the whole set look rather stylish, actually.

BTW I've added you to my very selective blogroll.

Also, I don't know if you know, but Dubai has some of the most beautiful courses in the world!

i started off with good intentions to keep covers on my new clubs,but have gradually lost them as i have stormed up the fairway after playing a crap shot and left the cover on the floor...so i have given up and carry them naked(the clubs)

I've been golfing since I was in elementary school, and have been golfing seriously for 3 or 4 years not.

I didn't begin using iron headcovers until I bought a new set of clubs as I wanted to keep them looking nice.

In fact, all of my friends who are "new" golfers are the ones who don't use iron headcovers.

I just don't like the clinking sounds of my woods clanging together. Makes me think they're hurting each other, even if it may only be cosmetic damage. I'd rather be silent while i'm walking with my bag.

To some it may look like a NEW golfer gimic, but for me it keeps my irons from looking like I was landscaping and rock digging with them. Spent a lot of time and money getting those Hogan baldes.
I do use generic wood covers to conceal(and protect) the 510TP, Titelist fairway wood and Sonartec hybrid.

No need to advertise to the unscrupulous.

Nothing says new golfer like iron covers, but that being said, do what you must to protect your investment. If you have that new R7, I suggest an old sock as a cover (keep away the prying eyes).

I read the same response from the GURU and I'm with you! Protect your investment! It may seem anal to some, but I prefer to keep my clubs (all of them) covered.
While playing I pull covers off as I use a club. I may not put it back on if the neighbooring clubs still have their covers on.
In the interest of pace of play I do NOT make ritual out of covering every club everytime but I monitor that clubs aren't banging against each other during a round. It's easy to do as you return to the cart or pull a club for the next shot.
I play forged clubs and I have seen the damage a putter banging against a brand to new iron can do.
Last thing I do is a head count and cover up job before the tools go back into the trunk of the car!

I use headcovers on all of my woods as well as neoprene headcovers on all of my irons. The only club I don't have a headcover on right now is my putter, and I would like to put one on that too.

I like to keep my clubs free of unneccessary wear.
