PING Hoofer Lite Carry Stand Golf Bag

Golf bags can sometimes be hard to find in a style that keeps them from moving your stuff around while you’re towing it in a cart or carrying it over your shoulder on the course. The Ping 2018 Hoofer Lite Carry Stand has several factors that make it an excellent buy for anyone who needs a sturdy bag but light enough. Let’s look at what makes it unique and what things could be improved in future editions.

First of all, the goods. When it arrives at your door, and you inspect it, you’ll notice when you look at the bag that it’s lightweight but very rigid on all sides. The polypropylene frame is located in the second layer under the fabric exterior. The main pockets on the bottom are large, so ancillary accessories like towels and extra balls will fit in without a problem, although some might be upset that there are no slots near the top.

Towels will go with the rest of your gear because there’s room on the outside to hang them. There are no hooks attached to the top of the bag.

If you like wild colors, the product offers several choices in different shades. Your clothes are sure to find a match among the eight options available. Ping took care to create contrasts that will help you find which piece is yours, a great addition if you tend to play golf with a lot of people wearing a lot of gear. There are six different locations for your clubs, and they’re built to keep them straight when placed around your shoulders. And they won’t let go of you and cause sweating, even in hot weather; the pads are breathable and create a constant flow of air to minimize odor and moisture.

However, there is room for improvement. In rainy conditions where the ground is soggy, the paws can sink into the ground slightly when placed on the ground. And you need to be careful where you set up, as they could tip over almost as easily as using the base alone. Also, Ping would do well to build their next line with sturdy zipper handles instead of strings, which could rip or come loose on a short.

Overall, the 2018 Hoofer Lite is recommended for anyone who doesn’t like the balance game required by some golf bags that don’t have crutches or feet. If you handle it carefully, the feet should hold for a long time. It’s not the lightest you’ve encountered, but it offers a little bit of everything the best golf bag could.

Pros:

• The top of the bag is fully reinforced and keeps the clubs from rubbing against each other.
• There are eight different styles to choose from, each with its unique look and color combinations
• Contains enough space in the main pocket to accommodate additional items if needed
• Shoulder pads prevent moisture from developing around the areas covered by the straps

Cons:

• Lower legs may sink into the ground, especially on wet ground.
• Pockets in the back may not be large enough to store additional items without placing them in another bag (or in the main pocket).
• Legs become unstable on uneven ground and fall off at the slightest touch.
• Zipper ends are made of string instead of solid pieces that could break if handled roughly.

 

Cobra Golf Ultralight Golf Bag-

The Cobra Golf 2018 Ultralight bag, as the name suggests, weighs only five pounds and has a polyester exterior. There are no feet, so you won’t need to place it in a slanted position when it’s at rest; stand it up, and it will stand on its own. There are six styles to choose from, but each maintains the same structure and number of pockets.

Some rudimentary golf bags will only have pockets on the bottom and nowhere else in the cooler compartment. This product has twelve in total, so you’ll probably never run out of room to hold your stuff when you’re on the course. One nice feature is that the top compartments are close enough that you can grab things on foot when it’s slung over your shoulder. The club dividers are 14 in total and go down to the bottom. Your tube inserts should not get tangled and are easy to remove when removing the lid.

When you lift the golf bag, you will notice how the shoulder pads distribute the weight evenly across the upper and middle parts of your abdomen and back. No tension will occur, even when it is filled to the brim. There are also small hooks on the right side and a handy umbrella holder next to the cooler pocket.

The cooler pocket could be better designed. Many new golf accessories have started to do away with the old method of tipping to dump excess liquid. You’ll have to continue the trend with this 2018 edition. While there’s plenty of room for your drinks and convenient padding along the sides of the bag to keep everything from heating up too quickly, melted ice collects at the bottom and has to be turned to dispense. You may remove your clubs and other gear to get it to the bottom.

The Cobra 2018 Ultralight is the best golf bag for people who tend to fumble in their pockets when moving around the green. If you’re used to leaving your stuff in the cart instead, measure the length of the storage area at its widest points to ensure the bag will fit inside without straining. If it does, you may end up breaking this one before anything else, especially if you’re a hoarder.

Pros:

• The storage pockets come in various sizes so you can store a wide range of items, large and small.
• The putter storage area has room for an extra wedge.
• There are 14 club dividers in total.
• The shoulder strap is foam padded, suitable for walking long distances
• Stands on its own when packed as usual, without tipping over

Cons:

• The entire bag must be turned upside down so the water can escape. To empty the melted ice from the cooler bag, t
• It may not fit easily into small pushcarts

 

Cleveland Golf CG Stand Bag

The Cleveland Golf CG Stand is another lightweight golf bag with a large embroidered company logo on the right side. There are many stacked pockets, each with solid zippered handles with fabric strings. If one of the strings breaks, use the hard piece instead.

A stand golf bag with large straps can often get in the way when lifting. Uneven dispersion can cause the ends to scrape against your neck and cut into the middle back area. This piece prevents this by being ergonomically structured, which means it will encourage you to maintain your posture while being carried. The centerpiece pulls your upper back up, which prevents your spine from bending while walking. However, there is no need to worry about it being too rigid. The straps are flexible enough that you can quickly reach the cooling pocket without causing pain.

If you like deep pockets, this golf bag can carry every piece of equipment on the trip. Just pack your stuff tightly, so you don’t lose anything. You’ll want to place your smaller things on the lowest and closest to the ground. The main compartment is big enough for 14 clubs, but you must consider their structure. There are sturdy legs located in the back that have solid rubber feet. They don’t come loose and support the bag well, as there are no joints along the middle to bend anything and drop it. For this reason alone, it is ideal in moderately windy conditions.

The separations don’t go all the way to the bottom. This bag might make you uncomfortable if you’re looking for something that leaves no room for jamming. It will not happen every time you take it to the field, but the chances are still higher than a bag with completely sealed dividers. And as we pointed out earlier, with zippers, the little strings can come loose and create an extra burden when you’re in a hurry to get things out of your pockets.

The Cleveland CG Stand Bag is a great performer when moving between holes. You’ll appreciate the quality construction of the rain cover, which keeps your clubs dry and odor-free. Although the colors shown are not the same brightness as in their photos, they still look great and won’t fade when placed in the sun.

Pros:

• The rain cover is well constructed and keeps the bag completely dry during inclement weather.
• The double harness allows for even weight distribution when carrying.
• Up to nine canned beverages can fit in the cooler pocket

Cons:

• Dividers do not extend to the bottom of the bag, which could block clubs with handles
• Zipper strings are straightforward to break, even with little force
• The colors are slightly lighter than they appear in the pictures
• The rain cover is solid black and does not vary in color, no matter what style of bag is chosen

 

Callaway Golf Org 14 Cart Bag

At 5.8 pounds, the Callaway Golf Org 14 is a nod to the future of golf bags, at least in terms of features. There are plenty of minor but innovative pieces you need to know about with the company’s latest edition, some more obvious than others.

Have you ever had a bag with a zippered pocket opening? Almost everyone has. Sometimes the zippers get stuck, making it impossible to open or close unless you pry the fabric lining out with your teeth. Doing so can damage the bag and tear the lining, which will expand over time.

The two pockets have a powerful magnetic lining. They are located on the first row near the top. This is a great place to store passports, ID cards, or other valuables you don’t need to carry while playing. A small pocket notebook or purse could also fit inside, making this bag fall into the women’s golf bags category. The rain cover keeps it from getting wet, but there’s enough padding around it to protect everything if you don’t plan on using it too often. Callaway Golf 2018

Another great addition is the drink pouch. No more turning your bag upside down to dispense water. Just open it from the bottom and let the contents spill on their own. There are 14 dividers available, with no gaps at the ends. Now your entire set of clubs can travel with you, incorporating enough space for each piece to stay inside without moving. In short, the Org 14 is not only great for all female golfers but it is also considered one of the best women’s golf bags sold online this year.

Pros:

• The drink pocket drains from the bottom; no need to tilt it.
• Magnetic pockets are on the front pockets, strong enough to hold everything in place without opening

Cons:

• There are no rings located anywhere on the bag, which increases the annoyance of not having enough space for the most used accessories
• Although there are hooks, items can slip off while carrying.
• Where to buy: Buy it on Amazon here. (ad)

 

Taylor Made Flextech Stand Bag

For a golf bag, the Taylor-Made Flextech is very sturdy. It shouldn’t be taken out of context, the construction is sleek and attractive like any other high-quality bag, but it has a state-of-the-art strap system, ideal for golfers who don’t have access to a cart or like to hike on the green.

If bag size is a big selling point for you, this model measures 36 x 12 x 14 inches and weighs about five pounds when empty. That’s perfect for walkers and drivers, so even if acquaintances use your cart, it can fit perfectly and have plenty of room to store it until you reach your next hole.

Even if you tried to pack your accessories to test how well it keeps them allocated in the desired position, no movement should occur, even with rough handling. The padding should also be mentioned. It is light but covers the most critical areas. If you don’t like to use a raincoat, this bag is highly recommended as the padding layer offers adequate protection from moisture but tends to dry out when slightly wet. In any case, there’s always a blanket if you prefer to go the dry route.

This Taylor-Made bag has many well-constructed features, but like all products, it’s far from perfect. The biggest complaint will be the coolant pocket. These are mostly hit or miss, depending on the manufacturer and size of the bag. Yet, most standard-size golf bags have deep compartments to store drinks that are supposed to be kept cold and safe from rapid temperature changes.

The drink holder on this bag only has enough room to store two drinks and a regular-sized can/bottle at worst. If you’re the type of golfer who likes to relax on the course, keep that in mind before you buy the Flextech, or you’ll probably have to carry a separate cooler to keep everything on track.

Still, if you like your golf cart bags to be solidly constructed and you plan to play multiple rounds throughout the day, this latest Taylor-Made bag will be the right choice. There are no feet in the back, so you have to park it from the feet up to keep it resting while it’s on the course.

Pros:

• Due to its size, it can be used as a perfect cart bag
• A lightweight design ideal for long walks or easy storage on any size cart.
• Clubs do not pile up when placed in the dividers.
• Straps are durable, constructed with layers of padding that won’t tear or cause shoulder strain.

Cons:

• The cooler bag can only hold two drinks and is not entirely closed for warm-up drinks faster than other golf bags.
• Legs can bend when force is applied and break when the bag exceeds capacity.
• Has only five openings on top (it may not be suitable for golfers who carry a lot of clubs)

Sun Mountain C-130 Cart Golf Bag

The best golf travel bag will often have a minimalist approach to makeup and appearance. This makes it easy to travel by road on the way to your course, or for easier long-distance transport in the air. The 2018 C-130 Sun Mountain is a great way to take all your stuff on vacation, with which they can accompany your adventure on the course when the urge for a quick game strikes.

While it’s a bit heavier than some of the bags reviewed so far (ten pounds), it makes up for its sturdy feet at the base. That’s where most of the weight is anyway, sturdy enough to easily keep the bag balanced no matter how warped your organizational skills are. You can place your stuff inside the little pockets in any order you like, and the feet won’t tilt or tip over. Surprisingly it’s also great when you’re playing in slightly slanted areas because it has no legs or kickstand.

As for the dividers, they fall somewhere between satisfactory and less than excellent. They are almost full length but have a very small gap at the end, measuring about 1/2 inch wide. Your clubs probably won’t get stuck, but the possibility exists if you tend to load your bag to the max. Then there is the travel aspect mentioned above. If you’re traveling with them, this little hiccup could create packs and force you to take everything out once you get to your destination.

The 2018 edition of the Sun Mountain C-130 is still travel-friendly, and the zippered pockets are some of the easiest to pack of any bag on this list. In particular, you’ll love the size of the drink compartment, and the material is very dense. This is a bag you’ll probably still use ten years from now.

Pros:

• The bottom balances well on most surfaces, including grass and asphalt.
• Dividers are almost full length and will keep clubs from getting stuck in most cases.
• High-quality zippers are durable and move quickly without getting stuck or ripped off.

Cons:

• The colors of the material may fade over a short period.
• The bag does not have feet.

 

Wilson NFL Carry- Golf Bag

Soccer fans, get ready to be the envy of your golf buddies. The Wilson 2018 Carry golf bag combines the image of the famous contact sport with the luxury of a high-end product that’s easy on the eyes but also easy to carry and move around the course.

Every NFL team is represented, whether you’re a Cowboys, Eagles, or Patriots fan. If none of the teams listed apply to you, pick your favorite franchise (there are 32 teams/colors available, one for each team) and wait for it to arrive.

The bag is also very well made, with two large sleeves near the feet. You could easily fit a towel or multiple balls/tees with more space to spare. And there’s an extra carry handle in the front, placed in an area where other bags tend to have more pocket space. It is handy when you’re lifting the bag out of the stroller or want to carry it without the straps.

Although the straps might be a little thicker, they will hold well and won’t cause any pain after putting them down. If you have a heavy load, the end near the rings might feel like too much tension could rip them off over time, but it should do so without causing damage.

The hooks are generous. The bag looks like something used for military purposes, capable of attaching many items at the top or center. Five sections divide the main compartment, so getting them out could be a problem quickly if you want to add more clubs. Pack them carefully, starting with the smaller ones in the front, using the larger compartments for those that won’t be used too often, then placing the larger clubs in the back near the legs.

You may consider this the best golf bag because it has your team badge embroidered on the outside. Even without that attribute, it would still be a great product, especially for those who like to use hooks. It would make an excellent gift for any die-hard soccer fan, and the handcrafted quality of the material (polyester) ensures that it will attract a lot of attention when it’s on the course.

Pros:

• Sold in 32 color varieties to match each NFL team’s emblem
• An extra strap is included in the front to avoid awkward carrying when the straps are not in use.
• Multiple hooks are placed in the top and middle areas

Cons:

• Compared to other golf bags, fewer pockets in the front and none near the top.
• The bag must be removed to reach most pockets, except for the drink holder.
• The kickstand is sometimes difficult to open.

 

Ranger Carry Sunday Range Travel Bag by CaddyDaddy Golf

Even being much smaller than what has been featured, there is still enough room to fit up to eight golf clubs inside, making it the go-to bag for anyone planning a domestic or international trip.

There’s plenty of padding, so your clubs will remain in perfect condition even if the bag takes a beating at the airport.

At 3.5 pounds, the Ranger is also the lightest golf bag on display. You can also fit large clubs inside, so if you want to take up to 50 inches, it should work in the bag with the other seven. And don’t worry about the innards sticking out on the small clubs; you can zip the top to cover them completely.

They’re big enough to hold small golf items like tees, but most of your stuff will probably be packed in separate bags. You could even use the outside hooks to attach the bag to something larger or smaller, which would be very useful when you need to navigate the airport quickly.

Can this bag be used to replace a regular golf bag? The short answer is yes. Just keep in mind that it’s pretty small, so you’ll probably want to look at the products above if you don’t already own a larger piece. You can still take it with you, though, as the product would be great for people who have trouble lugging around larger loads.

If you like to walk the entire course, we can’t recommend the Ranger Carry Sunday Range enough. Golf cart bags are sometimes at their best when fewer items need to be carried and could also help you focus more on your game rather than the number of accessories you have. For that reason alone, this bag could be handy for any golfer.

Pros:

• It can fit clubs that are up to 50 inches tall.
• The padded cover and cylinder around the shafts make the bag suitable for air travel.
• The 3-pound weight is easy to carry, even when fully loaded.
• Up to eight clubs can fit in these surprisingly small dimensions
• Because hooks are attached, extra luggage can be tied around the bag

Cons:

• You have to organize the bag well to make sure everything fits appropriately without making small items hard to find
• Getting clubs in and out of the bag while golfing is awkward because of the cover around the clubs.
