    Default A serious conundrum..... what to pick??

    Ok, important stuff here!
    Going to get a new putter cover. My bag is mostly black with some white, head covers are the same, and towel is also black. Bag and most is all Ping.
    Looking at either of these two covers; I like the orange one, but, you know, all black with some white! Or could it be the pocket square of my bag??

    I should add, this is over a Scotty putter, but it's a copy of a Ping so surely that's acceptable?

    I actually think that the reason I am not seeing many (any) Stealth drivers in use at my club is due to them being "too distinctive".

    They look great, but too flashy perhaps?

    I am surprised how many players haven't bought new drivers, other than the PING G425 (PING people often only purchase the 1 brand)

    Use a sock. Then nobody will steal your putter, and if you are not in the military is the one remaining worthwhile use for a single sock.

    Titleist don't make Stealth. If they did, they would sell squillions to RC

    Fair comment Wayne, but I reckon PING tip out Titleist at RC.

    Stealth just doesn't seem common across the ranges/courses that I visit, but I have only heard good things from retail, but just don't see them around!

    Neither, as I've had the vinyl of at least two Ping putter covers blister/peel over the years.

    Mine were a Scottsdale and a generic black one, and I suspect that you may have the same grief with that black cover.

    Yep, if they aint genuine leather, thats what happens. I guess the OEMs count on people upgrading before they wear out

    I have seen Stealth drivers at $550 in retail.

    Haven't seen the G425 discounted as yet.

    Sim2 didn't seem to be a big improvement on Sim, so haven't seen many of those.

    with TM throwing all their marketing behind "Carbon not Titanium", what do they do if Stealth ends up being a low seller? double down?

    Don't say that!!!!! Ping clubs can survive a nuclear explosion. How could their head covers not?? Now you've thrown the cat among the pigeons. My scotty cover, while aged, has held up well. What do they make their stock head covers out of?

    Its well known the TM's biggest sales volumes are always the previous model. Thats one reason they have rapid new releases, its a deliberate strategy not a case of "oops we made too many and now have to liquidate stock".

    Ping on the other hand, like Apple, dont cheapen their brand by doing this.

    Go for something different/custom https://www.seamusgolf.com/en-au/col.../putter-covers

    There are a few headcover manufactures around now, some even local
