Are you intrigued by Aaron Rai’s metal covers? They are the club’s least expensive defenders
Aaron Rai is our new major champion, thanks to a great performance at the PGA Championship at Aronimink on Sunday.
The 31-year-old Englishman came out of his pack with a superb round of 65 to claim the Wanamaker Trophy by three shots over Jon Rahm and Alex Smalley.
Rai, who won seven starts before his PGA victory, is a player who does things his way. He sports not one but two gloves made by MacWet, an English company that makes performance sports gloves for outdoor activities such as polo, showjumping, horse racing, shooting and more.
Another way Rai differs from its peers: the metal casings. And thanks to Rai, what used to be considered golf is now guaranteed a major tournament.
Rai has an interesting reason for his use of the iron cover: Growing up, he could appreciate the sacrifices his parents made to support his golf development. When he got his first premium set of clubs as a kid, he wanted to protect them as much as possible, so he used metal covers – a practice that continues to this day.
“Even though on the PGA Tour, we’re given equipment, and we’re given everything we need, it’s illegal,” Rai said of his iron caps after his Sunday victory. “The value of not losing sight of what I have and where I am.”
Even if iron covers are not ideal for use in your everyday golf life, there is no denying that using them on the go is reason enough to invest in a set. And with a price point starting at $22, it’s a low-cost investment.
