    Default Headcover - where’s the tail?

    Any idea why equipment companies stopped making headcovers with a tail to protect from shaft rub? Economics? Gotta say that if I am going to spend $800 on a driver - the least the OEM could do is provide a full length headcover.

    Good question... my shafts are all 8-10 years old so the wear marks are significant. Fairly sure its only the paint though

    Most likely economics, I saw some comments on GOLFWRX about Titleist not providing wrenches with the TSI series of drivers.
