These days, almost all golf club heads are made of metal.
While that suggests that they are likely to be durable because of metal’s hardness, it must be remembered that metal also has the capability of causing damage and that includes the other clubs in your bag.
Golf bags generally have different compartments to separate the shafts from one another.
There is little to stop the clubheads themselves swiveling around and striking each other as you move, however.
At one time, most golfers simply had headcovers for their ‘’woods’’ but some manufacturers began to include a form of protection, sometimes plastic, for their sets of irons and modern-day putters often come with a cover as well.
Most golfers buy their irons in sets which commonly include everything from a 3 iron up to a pitching wedge. Some manufacturers now provide covers that slip over the heads themselves.
They are commonly made from plastic and provide extra protection for club faces; remember how important the grooves on the face of an iron are in playing good golf. Grooves need to be kept clean and head covers add an extra dimension to their protection.
