I would say i play faster than anyone i have played with. I have no idea if covers slow you down, if you had read my post you would know i ha e never actually seen someone that uses them. I asked a question if this is the reason people hate them. I’m indifferent as again, i have never even encountered someone that uses these.that's total BS, you folks dicking around reading putts or or whatever you do to slow everyone down take way more time. It is a non issue and just a patented b*tch from people who don't know any better.
