Studio Select FTUO Cover

Rating: 5 points
Pros: It's a new For Tour Use Only Headcover!
Cons: Scotty still hasn't released a Red Circa FTUO

After a considerably long drought without an OTR related FTUO headcover, Scotty comes through in a big way with this new headcover spotted on tour. The last iteration of an OTR FTUO cover was the vertical Titleist Circa '62 cover in early 2007, so this is a welcome sight for many FTUO headcover collectors. In the past, the FTUO had only been emblazoned on the side of the headcover, with the remaining graphics being identical to the OTR version. On this new Studio Select FTUO cover, the Circle T is prominently displayed inside one of the red dots on the top of the cover, a departure from the former configuration.

This is the only FTUO headcover to have two Circle T's... very cool when you think about it. The wording on the side of the headcover now reads "Tour Only", opposed to the "For Tour Use Only" usually reserved for these covers. The last few FTUO versions of limited headcovers have used this verbiage as well. It begs to question if we should start calling these "TO" covers instead.

I'm happy to see a new version of an OTR FTUO cover, but I'm still a little down about the Red Circa '62 cover never having a FTUO counterpart. I'm still not giving up hope!
