About Golf Club Head Covers

Golf clubs are very expensive sport gear . Most golfers pay a lot of money for golf club sets and need to protect their investment in any way they can . The average golfer, of average means, doesn’t want to buy new clubs every year .

Head covers are the best way to protect the heads of your valuable clubs . Most modern drivers are made of very thin titanium and fairway woods are made of thin stainless steel. Most woods are finished with nice looking paint schemes. So, to protect the thin metals from getting dented or scratched, and the paint from getting chipped, it’s best to cover club heads with padded head covers.

Since most of the damage happens when golf clubs move around in the golf bag. So it’s important to replace the head cover during play. Most head covers are made with extra long knit necks, or sleeves, to protect graphite shafts when they move inside the bag. The constant movement can cause an abrasion of the shaft , potentially leading to more serious damage.

Head covers are available with different brand names and designs. Custom made covers are also made to suit the clients need. Animals, comic characters or flags can be chosen for the design of the head cover to add some flavor. In most cases , each driver and fairway wood club model will have a head cover that is expressly designed for that club. New innovations are coming out regularly, some that open quickly and are held together with velcro or a magnet.

Head covers for irons are also available. They are normally made from a rubber based material and cover only the club head, and not the end of the shaft. They normally have a opening in the side that allows sliding them onto the club head very easily. Many iron head covers are connected together with heavy cord, to minimize loss of the covers.

Head covers can be purchased in pro shops, retail sports stores and online where discount golf clubs and clone golf clubs are sold.
