    Hello, Looking to purchase a Scotty 5.5 x. A buddy of mine said he used a magnetic head cover will rust the face, anyone know if this is true? We play early morning in wet conditions and hate Velcro headcovers. Any info would be great.

    Anytime you do not wipe your putter down before placing it back in the cover and there is any water on the putter it will have the potential to harm your putter... IMHO

    Any moisture left on the club before it's put in the cover can harm the putter. Like Chris states, wipe it down before putting it back under wraps...magnet or velcro doesn't matter. It'd be nice though if Scotty would lose the velcro and step up his game to some magnets.

    This has come up many times over the years. I have had great success with bringin my SC headcovers to a show repair or bootery and they remove the velcro and insert magnets for me. This has never caused rusting in my experience.

    I don't think a magnetic cover will matter if you care for your club. There is also something you can add to your standard, velcro Scotty covers to add magnetic closure, it's called Magnet Mod, and it's sold on Etsy by Kick's covers. I have one for my blade head cover and it works well.

    Like Chris stated, it's moisture left on the putter and then put in the headcover causing the putter to rust. Stainless steel is rust proof, and some of the older SC putters used to be a raw finish.

    I have owned SC putters for years and never had any issues with rust.
