Types of Golf Bags
Carry Bag The most basic and common type of golf bag is certainly the carry bag. Relatively simple, it is a typical slim-line bag that is carried round the course (range between 5 to 8.5 inches in diameter and can weigh as little as 3.5lbs). The options in this category are endless. All top manufacturers produce quality carry bags. Almost all carry bags now will have a double strap that will equally divide the weight of your bag over both shoulders to make the bag feel as comfortable as possible. One of the lightest types of bags, this bag will not cost you a lot and will do the job extremely well. Pencil bags or Sunday Bags These are another type of carry bag that has become very popular. These bags are extremely lightweight, thinner versions of a carry bag, but still offer up to a 6 inch diameter top and can hold up to 14 clubs easily. They are very slim line in design and therefore very easy to store in a locker or car. Great for golf on a warm, dry day they are very light, but offer very little protection in rain.
Very similar in size to a carry bag, the stand bag has the added feature of a stand to hold your bag of the ground when resting. The two legs under the bag will spring out when the bag is placed on the ground, meaning your bag stands nicely at your side. This keeps your bag from getting dirty and also makes it easier to put bag and take out clubs. It is important when choosing a stand bag to check the stability of the stand with the base of the bag. Quality of stands varies in different bags and this is crucial to discover which bags may be prone to falling over in wind. You may pay slightly more for a stand bag than a carry bag, but this is a nice and popular feature to have in a golf bag. |
