    Interesting product, anyone tried them?


    Would be good for the forged irons instead of having to use headcovers. Could end up a great product or else a pain to use, I'm undecided but might order a set to try

    Could be a bit annoying having to put the club back into the clip. Depends probably how stiff the clips are and if its pretty easy to slide in and out the clubs.

    Its certainly an alternative for those who use head covers to protect their clubs. I've read that leaving headcovers on forged irons actually makes them rust quicker as it keeps the moisture in. The headcovers on irons should be removed after a round. These clips could solve that problem

    Different bags may also be easier to attach the clips to than some others

    I have forged irons and bought some covers, after about 2 months I ditched them out of sheer annoyance. Losing them, falling inside the bag...also, bugger all difference other than noise.

    Forged clubs are made by being whacked by a heave weight/pressure at high temperatures. I really dont think they are going to get damanged much hitting off each other as I struggle up a hill with them on my back.

    Was thinking that myself. Considering they are compacted steel basically, them bumping off each other won't do much harm to them. I'm getting forged clubs soon and I won't be worrying about it anyway!

    To give the other side of the coin - I bought new forged irons 14 months ago and at the time also bought head covers to prevent the bag clatter. Have been using them ever since and don't find them annoying, clubs still look like new with the shiny chrome intact. I just slip off the head cover and keep it in my pocket when taking a shot. Only downside is that they're not as aesthetically pleasing in the bag with the head covers on.

    A lot could depend on the type of head cover you have, I avoided the heavy rubber based covers which from reviews are cumbersome to remove and put on as well as more likely to trap moisture and aid rust. I got the neoprene covers which are soft/malleable and somewhat breathable.

    You're not going to damage forged irons from bag clatter but you will get dings and little indentations around the hozzles and back of the clubs as the sharper edges hit the flatter sections. It's all just aesthetics and personal preference really.

    In terms of the product in the OP, I can't say I like it as a means of preventing bag clatter (more useful to prevent clubs getting tangled in a big tour bag or one with few dividers). The shafts even when clipped in will still likely rotate (unless very tight) so the clubs will still hit of each other.
