I am interested in getting a couple of these for my clubs and giving some out as Christmas gifts but I am concerned about how they wear.  I am really concerned about the Driver cover w/ the 460cc size club heads.  Do they headcovers strecth out of shape w/ repeated use?
I would appreciate the feedback

I've had a set on my 905R and my 3 wood for about six months now and they still look and work great. I'm very pleased with the quality and durability I just wish the driver head covers were a tad longer.

Had 2, used them for 3 months or so. No problems with quality, they have no rips, tears or holes. Would thoroughly recommend them.

I just changed bags and therefore colour scheme (sound like my girlfriend) and couldn't be bothered to order a new set (UK guy, too much hassle!).

Big fan of Rocket Tour covers!  I use the sock style on my 3 wood and hybrid but the Hoodie on my 400cc driver (which barely fits).  I think the Hoodies look soooooo cool but they are tough to get on and off even on smaller drivers and they have no sock/neck for shaft protection.

If you're going for the RocketSox and Skinny Sticks covers they look great!  And if you end up not liking the fuzzy yarn ball on the end, with a little work you can get them off and make them look good.  I'll post some pics later today.

Do the skinny sticks work well on hybrids?  Any cover that I get for my Nickent hybrid seems to slip off.  I NEED to get a diff. cover then the puke green and black it comes with!

I have 2 of the skinny stick covers which I use for my hybrids, they do work great. I have had them for 2 seasons now with no issues.

I'm on my second season with my 3 and 5 fairway wood covers.  They're holding up very nicely, no holes, tears and haven't gotten stretched out at all.  They do tend to "pill" around the edges especially which can be easily taken off with a sweater lint shaver.  Mine are getting a bit grimy, has anyone tried to wash them?

I love mine!

So far so good and did wash it once and still stay the same.

To me J craig is better quality/thicker, but they are a pain in the a$$ to put it in and out ...especially when it's wet. Plus they soaked a lot of water during rain, makes the bag heavier. When you are walking 18 holes in the rain, muscle in and out the club heads... you can feel it at the end of the day.

BTW, I've sprayed a scott guard on mine now.

They reccomend that you dry clean them and don't put them in the washer. I don't see a reason why you couldn't put them in the washer though. Just like a knit sweater. Put them on delicate with a mild detergent then let them air dry.
