Review: Sunfish Golf Headcovers

Published

on

Vintage style is a popular look today in marketing, social media and fashion. The golf equipment industry is not immune to this and many companies find themselves adapting trends for a very traditional sport. Sunfish Golf knows that a classic look and true quality never go out of style and they offer both of these qualities in their headcovers.

Based in Nashville, Sunfish Golf was started by two friends David Riggs and Alonzo Guess. Both men shared common interests in world travel and their love for golf. As David and Alonzo traveled, they have always been impressed by the quality and beauty found in handmade goods. With their comprehensive backgrounds in marketing, the two entrepreneurs have set out to offer quality handmade golf products at an affordable price and a commitment to 100 percent customer satisfaction.

Sunfish Golf’s knitted headcovers have a home-made look, but once you hold one of the headcovers in your hands, you realize these are top-quality covers that are more than capable of providing protection for your driver, fairway woods or hybrids.

The headcovers are hand-knit using top quality 100 percent natural New Zealand wool, ensuring a nice layer of protection while remaining flexible. The covers are available in a variety of colors and may be purchased separately or as a set. A full set includes a driver, fairway and a hybrid cover.

Sunfish Golf sent a set of crimson and gold-colored headcovers as well as a black-and-white driver cover to me. All the covers they provided featured a pom top, but tassel tops are available too.

The driver cover has a finely detailed embroidered Monterey Peninsula Country Club logo — a nice example of their ability to customize their products. The wool knit is heavier than you would expect, and all the materials were impressive.  Each cover features elastic at the opening and below the head, which helps them slide on and off with relative ease and also keeps them on your clubs during the course of play. The driver covers will fit all drivers including 460-cubic-centimeter heads.

The set they provided had three gold stripes for the driver, and the fairway and hybrid covers each had one stripe. This is the typical look for a set, but you can customize the colors and number of stripes if you wish.

Sunfish Golf offers headcovers in a variety of colors.

Sunfish Golf offers headcovers in a variety of colors.

Though Sunfish Golf offers many colors to choose from, secondary and third colors are optional. You can choose the number and color of the stripes, and they offer five different monogram styles also. Logos can be incorporated to reflect a particular school, sports team, country club, organization or company. A custom order typically takes up to four weeks to deliver.

An item not currently available through Sunfish Golf are putter covers. It would be nice to see these offered in the future, as they would be a fine addition to their current sets.

Prices start at $29.99 for one headcover and a set starts at $79.99. There are less expensive wool knit covers on the market, but with headcovers golfers tend to get what they pay for. Each Sunfish cover is hand-knit and the wool is top-quality. All Sunfish products also come with a 100 percent money back guarantee.

Retro is in and trends come and go. Based on what we’ve seen with Sunfish Golf’s headcovers, quality craftsmanship is always in style.

GolfWRX Members Choice presented by 2nd Swing: Best driver of 2025

Published

on

We’re proud to once again partner with 2nd Swing Golf to bring you GolfWRX Members Choice 2025! 2nd Swing has more than 150,000 new and pre-swung golf clubs available in six store locations and online. Check them out here

What is the best driver in 2025? At GolfWRX, we take great pride in our online community and the cumulative knowledge and experience of our members. When it comes to the best driver of 2025, we want to know what our forum faithful think.

Since our founding in 2005, the bedrock of GolfWRX.com has been the community of passionate and knowledgeable golfers in our forums, and we put endless trust in the opinions of our GolfWRX members — the most knowledgeable community of golfers on the internet. No other group of golfers in the world tests golf clubs as frequently or as extensively, nor is armed with such in-depth information about the latest technology.

Below are the results of GolfWRX member voting for the 2025 best driver, along with the vote percentage for each club.

Best driver of 2025: The top 5

5. Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond: 6.02%

Callaway’s pitch: “For golfers looking for a fast, forgiving, yet workable driver, the Elyte Triple Diamond features a tour-inspired shape and is the preferred model by most Callaway tour players.”

You can read what other golfers are saying about the driver in the GolfWRX forums, and see our launch piece here. Shop the Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond here.

4. Ping G440 Max: 6.86%

Ping’s pitch: “The most forgiving G440 model, MAX has a hotter face to generate speed and distance, and a lighter overall system weight with a longer shaft (46″) for faster clubhead speed, higher launch and longer carries. The Free Hosel and Carbonfly Wrap crown save weight to create our lowest CG ever and increase forgiveness while contributing to a more muted, pleasing sound.”

3. Ping G440 LST: 9.53%

Ping’s pitch: “LST is an especially good fit for faster swings, offering less spin and more control with a penetrating trajectory. A hotter face, lighter overall system weight and longer shaft (46″) deliver more speed and distance while maintaining tight dispersion.”

@phizzy30: “Not a fan of Ping drivers in general, but 440 LST takes the cake. It’s super forgiving across the face for a low spin head, looks and sounds good and the ability to make it play neutral or slightly fade biased through the hosel settings is very appealing.”

2. Titleist GT3: 16.55%

Titleist’s pitch: “The GT3 Driver offers Titleist’s boldest combination of power and personalization through adjustable performance. Dial in the CG Track to your frequent contact location to make your biggest drives even bigger while taking total control over flight and shaping.”

@mrmikeac: “I’ve been Anti-Titleist for years and years and years (outside of Vokey, of course). With that being said, HOLY BEGEEZUS the GT3 driver is an absolute NUCLEAR MONSTER! This thing blew my G430 10K Max out of the water in every single category. Forgiveness is the biggest thing that stands out of me, the 3 model has always been one of the less forgiving models in the past but this GT3 can take bad shot after bad shot and still end up in the fairway, I think a ton of that has to do with the adjustability, it’s actually effective. Feel and sound is perfect, that solid crack is so addicting to hear and when you hit it out the screws this thing can absolutely bomb it. Titleist, I’m sorry for doubting you. You have converted me.”

1. Titleist GT2: 22.91%

Titleist’s pitch: “Delivering impressive distance from any impact point, the Titleist GT2 Driver extracts maximum performance through a forgiving design. Get the stability and added confidence of a high-MOI driver without sacrificing speed.”

@DTorres: “The Titleist GT2 has proven to be the best driver of the year. Packaged in a classic profile, GT2 perfectly balances performance and forgiveness while consistently being a high performer across all categories.”
