I have been looking at the fantastic pictures of the Pro Bags. There quite a mix of headcover styles and preferences. What looks the best?

1. Name Brand OEM Headcovers advertising your loyalty and presumably the model year of the clubs,

2. Pom Pom Headcovers which never go out of style

3. Stuffed Animal/Character cover which presumably communicates "something"

4. Or another commemorative/special/unique cover?

Don't try and tell me that the look isn't important. If you wish, please share what stye you employ.


Thoughts?

PS First post so go easy on me...

Crustations for me. I have two Lobster head covers (Driver and Fw) mostly because I grew up in the Lobster Capital of the World.

Can't forget....



Kind regards,

Whatever comes w/ the clubs...

I like stuffed animals and pom poms. I have a fish for my driver, because I am an avid fisherman.

Pick a golf bag first, then match Pom Poms to match the colors. 8" Pom for driver and 5" Pom for three wood. You will be happy with two poms and the utility wood headcovers should be hidden by the large poms.

Good luck finding bold colors to make bag look sharp.

Good question. I keep the following headcovers in my rotation;
-Cleveland HiBore (Driver)
-Ping G2 (3-wood)
-Ping G5 (hybrid)
-Rodney Ram (Virginia Commonwealth University Mascot)
-Peedee the Pirate (East Carolina University Mascot)
-Rocket Tour Skinny Stick Black and Yellow
-ECU Nylon Driver Cover
-VCU Ram Putter Cover
-Philadelphia Eagles Neophrene Driver Cover
-Odyssey Tempest Blade Cover
-Odyssey White Hot XG Blade Cover
-PING G2 Driver Cover
-Stealth Hybrid Cover


For the most part, if I am walking I use the OEM covers because they take up less space. The rest of the time, I use Peedee, Rodney, Rocket Tour and the G5 cover...I know...too much info...

Detroit Tigers HC on my Driver. Gotta love them tiggies.

Pom POM and tassels for me. The EOM stuff would work great but I don't like to advertise the content of my bag to all the freaking club snatchers that seem to be omni present at most courses in South Florida.

I like the Rocket Tour Poms, the skinny Sticks for hibreds and the team effort College mascott headcovers.

I currently have all Rocket Tour poms on Driver and 3 wood and skinny Sticks on hybreds.

I have Colorado, Iowa, and Wisconsin masscot covers in waiting. I think it might look good to do a University color sceme mascott headcover and coordinating poms in University colors.

All OEM except the one animal type for the driver!

aligator/crocodile on the driver no real reason but my son loves it

"Supercow" on the three wood (cow headcover with custom made red felt cape added) for those "heroic" shots

AM&E headcover w/ USA flag and sons name and birthdate on the putter to remind me that missing putts isn't the end of the world

Fuzzy's Duck headcover on the driver

Pom Pom on the 3 wood and hybrid

Scotty Cameron cover on the putter

and black rubber iron covers (hahahahaha....absolutely NEVER!)

would anyone know where i could aquire a cheetah driver head cover...i really want one

I have a mix

Pitt Panther on Driver
Steelers Helmet on 3 wood
Rocket Tour on 5 wood
Black Neopren on hybrid
Fuzzy Penguins cover on Putter

Anything but the company provided covers...not that my clubs are worth major $$$ or that I ever let them out of my site at the course, but a bag full of company headcovers screams 'steal me'.

Love the Pom Poms.....Google Parfect Golf headcovers.

Great company, handmade to your specs and delivered within 96 hours!

And just say it's a cheetah!

My driver has an Air Force headcover part of the year (my grandson serves in the Air Force) or a Boston Redsox cover during baseball season. My 3 wood has a cover from The Gallery, site of the Match Play.

My Scotty hides behing an ASU Sun Devil cover.

I agree that I will never have a manufacturer's cover. Why advertise for the thieves.

I'm mostly about the "special" class as I like to rock the GolfWRX AM&E specials (w/ my logo) on my woods and putter. I'll sometimes use the OEM driver cover, if it's particularly nice or really easy to put on/take off (think Hibore), or possibly a frou-frou animal driver cover. But AME's hybrid and fairway covers are particularly nice, and their putter covers are pretty much the standard.

Either way, good first topic there, Rook.

2nd on the Parfect headcovers. They make them to your color choices and they are very well made. Matched them to my bag and it looks sweet.

Daphne's Fish on Driver
G 10 stock on 3 wood
G 10 stock on 3/4 Hybrids
Scotty Club Cameron 2008 on Studio Select

I voted for Pom's I have a mix of Rocket Tour Pom's and facotry covers, I'm not against animal/cartoon covers, but for me it has to be something unique, and only on the three wood for me, if I could find the Kellogg's Corn Flakes Rooster head cover I would put that on my 3 wood, as my nick names is Kellogg's. Or if I could find a RedBull cover I would game that too.

Stuffed animals rock! I´ve got so many of them. I´d say about 7-10 animalcovers total. And also I´ve got the oemcovers but I don´t like them as much. Here are the current "gamers"

thanx!

I have been pretty much an OEM Cover guy. I have been given a few covers recently so I feel
a bit obligated to use them. So.. the Driver is now sporting a Gorilla Head Cover.

Hopefully, it will remind me not to swing like one....

i have a cool penguin on my three wood. My son picked it out, and gets a kick out of it....so i keep it. the driver and hybrids are all oem (tour edge) and the putter has a hot bettinardi ornage cover.

Just as an aside to all of you who are worried about getting your clubs stolen....you can cover them on your Homeowner's policy under a rider. I think i pay 100 bucks a year to cover my whole bag!!

Pom-pom on driver. Plain black Titleist 3 wood graphite cover on the 3 wood. OEM cover on the rest of my drivers and my hybrid.

Can you share pics of the Supercow headcover? Sounds like a cool idea. Most of the animal headcovers alone are quite boring but adding a bit of personal touch will go along way.

If I recall correctly there was also a guy here that created his own headcover out of a family guy stuffed dog.

Fins up...my driver is a Parrothead, just like me!!!

Driver headcover is from my college team and I go with a Rocket Tour headcover for the three wood that matches my bag.

All of the above for me.

I have an TaylorMade OEM Japan in black (530555) for my driver:


I have a Daphne Panda headcover for my 3W:


And I use the stock Sonartec OEM sock/pom-pom headcovers for my hybrids:

(Thanks pingnut for the pic)

Oh yeah, and a GolfWRX (Canadian Flag) cover for my putter!

When i go to the muny courses that i might think club snatchers are lurking at, i put on a mix of RAM, Tommy armour and Mac burrows, old old callaway (original big bertha), Knight, etc etc. headcovers that i got off of e-bay you may want to try that.. and of course never ever leave your bag out of your sight or within hands reach for any amount of time..

The Ft-3 one for my driver
Character ones for 3 and 5 woods

I still use my Jan Craigs which are 15-20 years old, they have held up very well. With the increase in club size I use the driver cover as a 3 wood now and have added a Tiger head cover which has a 85th pga championship seal on it. I would like to replace it w/ another tiger head cover from one of the major championships. I can't say enough about the Jan Craig covers, yes they are a little pricey, but as you can see they last. I would pick a netrual base color so when you change bags they will look great.

I have a colorado buffalo on my driver and a fort hays state tiger on my 3W. representing the two colleges i graduated from.

I just ordered a set of Rocket Tour headcovers for my driver, 3-wood and hybrid. I am not a big fan of the animal headcovers, but to each his own.

I have a Ping G10 and had a G5 before that. The head cover that comes with these offers no shaft protection. I picked up a Cleveland Launcher head cover off Ebay. It protects the shaft and confuses the competition.

I usually play with what comes with the club...and since the Nickent Square is so big it can only be covered with what it comes with, or a shoe-box...I choose the brand cover. When I get the Nickent Supermag I think I am going to try to find a lobster or something else really funny. I hate the Pom Pom look.

Todd Fischer Battling Fish for driver
Rocket Tour for 3 wood
Stock pom poms for hybrids

I use the OEM covers, but after reading some posts I do believe that it's a magnet to get stolen... but could you imagine what I'd do to a guy stealing my sticks.... wow

I am infamous for winning these animal covers in scrambles..... I've gotten just in the last year, a pig, a cow, a bear, a tiger (of course), and my all time favorite a Serta Sheep cover... I would use them but they seem to fall off....

That serta sheep is a killer though plus it's got my football # 44 on it, so that's a plus......

Jan Craig Pom Poms - 8 inch pom on the driver and 8 inch pom on the 3 wood.

Picked up new ones this year to match my new bag - my last set lasted me for a few years and they held up real nice - can't say enough good things about them.

Me too! I use a South Carolina Gamecock for my driver and a JC pom for my 3 wood.Advertize that $400 driver too much and it will end up getting swiped.Had it happen to me and it was literally "in the blink of an eye".That said, I do carry a big staff bag so Im not really the sharpest tool in the shed.

Rocket Tour has a Sale going Next week Buy 3 get one free! April 7-14 Masters 2008 Promo

You forgot multiple choices in your poll

I use an OEM Magnetic driver 460 cc head cover and POM POM's for everything else

I use, for the most part, what comes with the clubs (OEM). With the driver, when I'm playing a round of golf, I put away the TM burner driver headcover on a side pocket and use an Acuity headcover because the freakin' TM OEM driver headcover is so tight and difficult to put back on, I wouldn't be able to take the aggravation of trying to put it back on after teeing off on a hole.
I have some "cheap" animal heads headcovers (b/w panda bear, orange stripe tiger), a black NIKE headcover for woods, but really just have them all as "emergency" purpose only.
My main thing with a headcover is that not only should it protect the club's head, but also have a sock portion to protect the shafts from rubbing inside the bag's dividers. Thus, the Daphne's animal headcovers is a "no-no".
Regarding "un-desireables" being "attracted" to a bag w/OEM headcovers, I agree. I do my best in keeping my bag as close to me as possible. When not in use, I entirely cover the golf bag's top w/an Acuity micro-fiber player towel with Velcro closure on the side end to keep everything out of sight.

I use the ones my wife knitted for me. Custom, cheap (free of course), inconspicuous, and I love the way they look.

Curently my old faithful Daphne's Great Dane (sort of a canine version of Marvin the Paranoid Android with his hangdog expression) and one of several old Ping covers. Red is the current colour of chioice, but there are all sorts of hues in the stash of a dozen or so.

Note to Daphnes: Please make a GSD headcover that looks like a GSD rather than the illegitimate child of a rat and a hedgehog.

One of several SC covers graces the putter - an old Pro Platinum doing the honours at present.

Bulldog headcover on my driver (Own a English Bulldog)
Everything else is stock covers. Anyone know where or
how to get custom head covers.
Couple that im looking for is a Wally (mascot of the Red Sox for a friend).
Slimer from the Ghostbusters.
