Golf clubs are a significant investment. Once you have chosen your clubs and you are playing well using them, you want to make sure that your clubs remain in pristine condition.
Starting with your driver, it is time to protect your clubs with driver headcovers. Continue reading to understand the importance of protecting your driver.
Protection of Drivers
The heads of drivers are usually made from titanium. Manufacturers use titanium or other composite lightweight materials. This attribute has led to larger heads on drivers without an increase in weight. Today most shafts are made from graphite, again because it is lighter in weight than stainless steel. With the combination of a titanium head and graphite shaft, golfers can drive the ball farther.
Because your driver is fragile, it needs to be protected from damage. Any dings or chips to your driver can negatively impact its performance. While driving your golf cart, you will encounter uneven surfaces. This causes your golf clubs to bump into each other. Continual banging of your clubs can weaken them, which is why you should always use driver headcovers.
It is not only in your cart that drivers can be damaged, while walking the course and carrying your bag or in a pull cart, drivers can become scratched. Over time, this repeated clanging can result in dents and nicks on your driver. These notches or marks can adversely impact how the driver’s head connects with the golf ball.
It is not only on the course that you need to protect your driver. While in storage, it is important to safeguard your driver. Storing your clubs at home does not ensure that they will not fall over and smack into each other. Golf bags can fall off storage shelves or crash to the garage floor.
Using driver headcovers will protect your clubs during the golf season and when they are in storage.
Safeguarding Other Clubs
Drivers are not the only clubs that need protection. Your other clubs, many of which are referred to as woods, can also suffer from dings. These clubs are no longer made from wood, which is why they need safeguarding. Most of your irons and woods are made from today’s more lightweight materials.
Putters are a very specialized club. These are used on every hole on the course; you cannot finish the hole without putting. Protecting your putter from any scratches is vital to a successful game. The slightest marks or notches on your putter can cause the trajectory of the ball to go askew.
Styles of Golf Headcovers
Headcovers are available in a plethora of styles, colors, and sizes. Selecting the correct size for your driver and other clubs offers maximum protection for your clubs. If you have the incorrect size, headcovers will not effectively shield your clubs from damage.
You can add style to your game and clubs with your selection of headcovers. Selections of styles include team logos, golf course branding, animals and cartoon figures, or lively colors. All of these can be a source of inspiration or a calming influence while you play.
