Our Very First Cowhide Club Head Cover  This cover is in the same smooth and soft "Cashmere" cowhide we use for our cow hide grips.  This cover comes in Black, Garnet Red, Dark Brown-Chocolate, Cordovan, Tobacco and Saddle Tan. Each Cover has a soft Dark Navy Blue or Black Flannel liner.  These covers are a little harder to make due to the thickness of leather compared to wool or flannel but they are very pleasing to the touch and are very durable.  You will really enjoy touching these covers during your round.  There is nothing quite like "Cashmere" leather.  Our covers come in the Driver size and the Brassie/Spoon size.  Please use the appropriate size button below for ordering.

4-Ply Waxed Linen Thread for Whipping
This is the high quality 4 ply whipping thread.  It is great for whipping grips and wood heads. Each roll contains 90 to 100 yards and can do about 30-35  clubs if you do whipping at the bottom and top of the grip. It can also be used as reinforcement on your hickory shaft where you need extra strength.  If your shaft has been repaired with epoxy, this thread can be whipped over the repaired area for extra reinforcement.  Thread can be coated with Shellac or Tru-Oil afterwards to help keep it intact.  Recently we have added 18 new colors to our thread selections: Williamsburg Blue, Country Red, Magenta, Maroon, Sage, Teal, Turquoise, Walnut Brown, Dark Chocolate, Emerald Green and Dark Rust.  It seems that a lot of club makers used colored thread in the 20's to distinguish and dress up their Whippings on their clubs.  We particularly like black grips with red thread, brown grips with dark brown thread, and the Tan Grips with the Emerald Green, Sage, Teal, or Country Red thread.

              OUR SELECTION OF COLORED THREADS:   
We now have 18 threads to choose from for your whipping tastes.  They all look great whether you are using buffalo, cowhide or elk grips.

These six threads look great with our Dark Brown, Tobacco and Tan Grips in either Buffalo or Cowhide.

Click on the button to the right to select the color you want and then click Add to Cart.  Many of the Players in the 1920's dressed up their clubs by
using different colors of waxed linen thread to distinguish their clubs from others out on the links.  Bobby Jones was famous for using Red and Blue on his "Calamity Jane" putter.  

These colors look great with Black and Dark Brown Grips.  The dark color of the grip really sets off the lighter colored whipping.  Unfortunately, Natural is no longer available, Butterscotch is the next closest color.

Thread Puller
I have always used a short piece of waxed linen thread to loop and place under the last 5 rows of whipping to pull out the end of the thread under those rows and then snip off the thread to finish off a whipping section either at the bottom of the grip or at the top of the grip.  But this thread pulling tool is easier and faster than using the thread for this purpose.  The 40 pound test line in this pulling tool is more slippery than linen thread so it pulls out easier and will work with more wraps of thread if you like to use more than five rows to complete your whipping.  I always love tools that make life easier and more effective.

7-PLY Waxed Linen Thread in Black
This is the thread that is used for pre-1900 clubs.  It is 7 ply which means it is about twice as thick as the normal 4 ply thread. It is 140 to 150 yards long so that you get a lot of thread and more coverage in your whipping. This spool would probably do about 70 clubs if you whip at the bottom and top of your grips. You may want to go in with two or three friends for this spool since it has so much thread.
