Gift Guide

A simple guide to help you find the perfect headcovers, even if you don’t play golf!

Which clubs need headcovers?

Driver

Most golfers use a driver to tee off. This is the largest club in the bag and is designed for long-distance shots. Since it’s frequently used and has a large clubhead, it’s important to keep it protected with a durable, well-fitted headcover.

Best Gift Choice: Every golfer with a driver needs a driver headcover!

Wood

Fairway woods are used for long shots off the fairway or from the tee. They have a slightly smaller clubhead than a driver but still need protection from dings and scratches. Many golfers carry one or two fairway woods, usually labeled 3-wood, 5-wood, or 7-wood.

Best Gift Choice: If you know they have a fairway wood, a matching headcover is a great addition!

Hybrid

Hybrids are a mix between woods and irons. Golfers use them for versatile shots from the fairway or rough. These clubs are smaller than fairway woods but still benefit from a headcover to keep them in top condition.

Best Gift Choice: If their set includes a hybrid, a hybrid headcover keeps it safe and completes their set.

Mallet Putter

A mallet putter has a larger, more rounded or squared-off head, offering extra stability and alignment support on the greens. Many golfers prefer mallet putters for their forgiveness and consistency in putting.

Do they need a headcover? Yes! Mallet putters are more delicate than they look. A quality headcover protects the face and alignment aids from dings and scratches, keeping it in top shape for every putt.

Not sure if they use a mallet putter? Check if their putter has a larger, rounded back, if so, a mallet cover is a perfect fit.

Irons

Irons are the most commonly used clubs for approach shots and precision play. They range from long irons (used for distance) to short irons and wedges (used for accuracy and control). Unlike woods and putters, most golfers don’t use headcovers for irons, as they are designed to handle wear and tear.

Do they need a headcover? Most golfers don’t use headcovers for irons, so it’s best to focus on Driver, Fairway Wood, Hybrid, or Putter covers for gifti
