CRU Golf Classic GRAND Collection Headcover Review (in Hand Waxed Black Italian Leather) - PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway

CRU Golf is a pioneering custom headcover manufacturer with a reputation for uncompromising perfection and quality.  From brilliant and traditional designs, to unpretentious, minimalist styles, CRU's handcrafted, unique leather headcovers are always attractive and highly prized.  And their Classic GRAND Collection is one of my favorites. 

 

The Classic GRAND Collection headcovers are the first styles CRU ever designed, and you can immediately see from the quality of these masterpieces that everything for CRU starts and ends with attention to detail.  You're not going to find more luxurious leather unless you travel to the world's most famous leather markets like Florence or Barcelona. 

This set (driver, fairway wood, and hybrid) of headcovers is crafted in a silky smooth, hand-waxed, black Italian leather with a vintage distressed white leather used to showcase the numbers.  Inside the headcovers, a velvety suede construction will protect all your traditional and modern sized woods.  And the stitching is as artistic as it is impeccable. 

 

 

 

 

The Classic GRAND design is Hogan's 1-iron at Merion, Nicklaus hitting the pin on No. 17 at Pebble, Palmer tossing his visor in the air after winning the 1960 U.S. Open.  It's a design inextricably linked to the history of our game.  And you can almost feel these legends talk to you as you remove the headcovers from your clubs and prepare for your next shot. 

 

 

 

The seduction doesn't stop here however.  If golf leather headcovers in general were leather jackets, CRU's Classic GRAND Collection would be the ones worn by Marlon Brando in The Wild One, James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause, and Mel Gibson in Mad Max.  The Classic GRAND are iconic and exemplify a rebellious cool.  They're the bad boys that symbolize unrelenting individuality. 

 

 

 

CRU brings the same skilled craftsmanship and unique designs to the putter realm as well, and the Pocket Putter style is perfect for any blade putter.  This one features the same hand-waxed black Italian leather, and is accented with a vivid bolt color to give it a bit of extra attitude. 

 

 

CRU's headcovers are constructed and designed to the tastes and requirements of individual golfers like you and me, and that's a big reason why they're so desirable.  You'll find them in the bags of Tour players like Rickie Fowler, in members bags at elite courses across the country, and on the clubs of golfers at the local muni a few minutes from your home. 

 

 

And what we all have in common is CRU's unwavering commitment to our absolute satisfaction.
