Alignment stick covers might seem like an unnecessary add-on at first glance, but they offer significant benefits for golfers who use alignment sticks. Here are the main advantages:
Protection: They safeguard your alignment sticks, preventing potential damage to your woods and putter.
Organization: By keeping alignment sticks together, they prevent them from floating around your bag separately.
Noise Reduction: They prevent alignment sticks from clanging against your clubs, ensuring a quieter carry.
Personalization: Adding an alignment stick cover gives your bag another personalized touch.
Consider that typical golf alignment sticks are 48 inches long, longer than any club in your bag except for maybe a long putter or illegal driver. This means that every time you hastily return a club to your bag, there's a risk of scratching or damaging the club head.
Although this mainly concerns woods and putters without headcovers, many golfers overlook putting headcovers back on these clubs once the round starts, especially when using a cart.
Using an alignment stick cover also keeps your sticks organized. Just like how no one enjoys having their earbuds roam freely, alignment stick covers ensure that your sticks stay together as a unit.
