1472.0. "How to protect shafts?" by RUBIK::SELL (Peter Sell UIA/ADG - 830 3966) Fri Mar 06 1992 08:11

My wife recently acquired a new set of graphite clubs and is rather concerned
about how to protect the shafts (in the bag) against scratches and knocks.

The pro suggested NOT to use tubes, as they rub against the shafts.

Any suggestions?

    I noticed in some of the magazines that there are bags that are
    specially made for this purpose.  They have the "tube" type
    construction at the top of the bag and are lined all the way down
    to protect the shafts.  They also make special covers that go further
    down the shaft to protect the lower portion (near the club head).
    
    I have one such cover that I use on my JUMBO driver.
    
    It's a good idea to protect these shafts as it can get expensive
    to keep replacing them.
    
    Good luck!

1472.2Do It Yourself!GERBIL::DOWNINGFri Mar 06 1992 16:087
    I had my wife pick up a scrap piece of "fur" material at a sewing shop
    and sewed velcro onto it.  I then lined the top of my bag with it.  I
    also have the long head covers but they did not provide the necessary
    protection.
    
    I have also seen in the mail order magazines fur lined inserts.  These
    will only work with the bags that have the removable dividers.
