where to buy racquet covers?

I'm looking to buy a racquet cover for my new Gamma (it didn't come with a cover). Am I blind, or does TW not sell racquet covers? Or is this something that just isn't normally available? I've never had to buy one before, so I'm kinda clueless about it.

Where did you buy your Gamma stick? My pro shop always gives you a cover.

Maybe you should just buy a three pack bag...?

I have a question for you though.

Is Pro Line II a good string I have a set, but just haven't strung it yet.

Bought it on the Bay, so unfortunately, no cover. I have a 6-bag, but I like having the individual racquets in their own covers too, so that they're not rattling around and chipping at each other when I'm tossing my bag around :)

The Pro Line II is a really good string IMO. I'm just trying WeissCannon's Silverstring in this Gamma to compare it to the Pro Line. For me, the PL has been very soft, comfortable (at the proper tension, that is--if strung high, it can feel boardy, like most other strings), and plays just fine. In fact, when I had my old AG100 strung with Bab VS natural gut, I hated the feel; I thought the PL felt 1,000 times better to me (although maybe part of that was the racquet difference, too).

I'm just trying to see if the WCS might be even better :)

Have you tried Luxilion before?(BB ALU power rough) Or anyone of them for that matter? I have read some reviews on the PL II and it seems like peole like it much better then BB and it's cheaper.

No, I haven't tried any Lux string. I'm concerned about taking care of my 37-year-old arm, so I've stayed away from them. I can't imagine anything being MORE comfortable than the PL II--when I hit a ball with it, I barely even notice the string at all in terms of impact, vibration, etc...it just feels almost like it's not there (for me). I'm hoping the WCS is EQUALLY comfortable and maybe gives a slight bit more spin (actually I wouldn't even have bothered trying it, but there were so many people raving about the WCS on here that I felt I should try it.)

If you don't mind a Dunlop cover you can have one of mine for free. Just email me by clicking on my profile name.

Vantage sell covers, including a protection sac which will take up less space in your bag than a full cover.
 
When you are buying the frame(s) I never knew they had covers because these people carry more and just get a bag. When I bought racquets (cheaper prestrung) at Sport Chek and they help you, they go in the back after and find the right case.

Last time I got a Head TI the guy couldnt find the cover so he just gave me one of those fancy Liquidmetal cases....this one:

I am interested in this topic, too where can you a cover? Some racquets are sold, even from TW, without covers (because I think they are simply provided from the manufacturer without one), where can u get them?
 
If you have a tennis bag, just put one racket with a cover in between two without. That way, all of the rackets are protected. :)

As far as your question, you can sometimes find lots of covers being sold on eee bay for low prices. Good luck on getting a matching brand though.

Are you talking about a cover for the head only or the entire racket?

Third, try contacting the manufacturer. Again, they could probably care less unless you're a retailer.

Thanks, I carry 2 racquets and they are both without cover. Perhaps it might be a good idea to contact the manufacturer.
