Craft Focus - Jun/Jul (Issue 67)

project craft focus 53 This long cover is a good choice for an oversized driver, as the padding in the muzzle adds extra layers of protection for your club. Perhaps more importantly, it helps bulk out the front of the cover to make sure it looks great on the course. While we can’t guarantee that this tiger design will make you play like his namesake, the bold styling and colour will certainly raise a smile.
