Titleist Stand Bags and Golf Bags Review
Choosing the Right Golf Bag
In recent years Golf bags have enjoyed a high-tech renaissance with everything from lightweight parachute materials and graphite-friendly tops to ‘club management systems’ and mobile phone pockets revolutionizing the market. 2009 will see the golf bag scientists pushing the boundaries further, with more ergonomic handles, elaborate trolley-fixing mechanisms, adjustable dividers, ingenious shoulder harnesses and more.
But for all that, your main options when choosing a bag are a sturdy cart bag (some are specifically designed for buggies, so be sure to check), a stand bag suitable for trolley or carrying; or the new generation of lightweight ‘pencil’ carry models for a quick nine holes
Here are some guidelines to help you choose. .
Lightweight materials are reducing the lug factor
Despite help from durable lightweight materials in general, the larger the bag the heavier it will be. Although the lightest designs now weigh in below 3lb, special lumbar and/or hip padding is available for comfort and can make a real difference
Larger bags are more durable, with more pockets as well as larger diameter tops and more sophisticated club management systems. As well as ‘stepped’ or tilted sections for shorter clubs, the latest configurations include separate full-length woods sections, and putter wells for instantly locating the pesky flat-stick so often hidden by the longer clubs.
Methodical minds may favour individual dividers
It’s up to the individual, but most golfers find 8’’ to 10’’ models provide plenty of space for 14 clubs, with between 6 and 10-way dividers giving sufficiently easy access. Nevertheless, methodical minds may favour individual dividers for instant club location
Meanwhile, stand bags come in varying degrees of sturdiness and golfers should check that their chosen model activates automatically and unimpeded (inferior mechanisms might not). For information go to <a href=”http://www.greatvaluegolf.co.uk/p-1024-titleist-x91-ultra-lightweight-golf-stand-bag.aspx”>Titleist Stand Bags</a>. Similarly, with a trolley bag you need to make sure the shape of both the stand and the base fits snuggly in the cradle of your trolley – softer mouldings are less likely to jar.
As well as these basics, bear in mind the number, size and positioning of pockets which now come designed not merely for balls, shoes and waterproofs, but also padded for mobile phones and jewellery, insulated for chilled food and drinks, and waterproof to keep your valuables dry in the wet.
Lost and not least, with the growing awareness of posture, ergonomic handles (including useful ‘bottom assist’ straps) and elaborate harnesses that spread the load effectively will be of particular interest for many. Izzo’s One-Up system now adapts to single shoulder use for short trips from green to tee, whilst still spreading the load evenly across the back.
