Like the drink offerings at Starbucks, golf bags come in three main sizes and styles: carry, cart, and staff bag. Which one you choose should be based on how you prefer to play the game: riding in a cart, carrying the bag yourself or pulling a cart.</li> </ul><a href="#top" class="top-link">top</a> </div></HTML> <hide>false</hide> </ConfigObject> </Config> <Conditions> <ArrConditions> <WidgetConditionsAnd> <ArrWidget> <WidgetCondition> <ID> 5877ef85-75af-4809-8fd4-2e16852d3c55 </ID> <LeftHandSideType> Request </LeftHandSideType> <LeftHandSide> filter </LeftHandSide> <RightHandSideType> LiteralString </RightHandSideType> <RightHandSide> what-are-my-options-when-choosing-a-golf-bag </RightHandSide> <Comparison> Equals </Comparison> </WidgetCondition> </ArrWidget> </WidgetConditionsAnd> </ArrConditions> </Conditions> <RenderOnFullSite> true </RenderOnFullSite> <RenderOnMobileSite> true </RenderOnMobileSite> </WidgetObject> <WidgetObject> <Name> HTML </Name> <Controls> <ControlAndLocation> <Control> html </Control> </ControlAndLocation> </Controls> <Config> <?xml version="1.0"?> <ConfigObject xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <HTML><div class="bg-question Bags"> <h3>What are the main advantages of a carry (sometimes called stand) bag?</h3> <ul> <li>Carry bags are designed for lightweight use and ease of carry. If you are planning to primarily walk the course, carry bags are the way to go. These bags are the smallest in width and crafted of the lightest materials, and depending on the model, have multiple storage pouches to store balls, gloves, etc. Many players buy a carry bag that matches their brand of clubs.</li> <li>Most carry bags these days have stands integrated into them, however, there are still some traditional carry bags out there that you simply lie on the ground in between shots. But for the most part, the terms "carry bag" and "stand bag" are used interchangeably. Stand bags feature a pair of fold-out legs that extend to form a tripod with the bag itself. In addition, most come in single-strap or double-strap configurations for comfort while walking the course. If you're susceptible to back problems, it's best to avoid single-strap bags, as they place more strain on the back. <div class="examples"> <div class="ex-header">examples</div> <ul> <li><a href="/Golf-Misc/Golf-Bags/Nike-Air-Sport-Stand-Bag-2014.htm"><img src="http://s3.golfballs.com/15/Nike-Air-Sport-Stand-Bag-2014_Default_225.jpeg"/><span>Nike Air Sport Carry Bag</span></a></li> <li><a href="/Golf-Misc/Golf-Bags/PING-4-Series-Stand-Bag-2014.htm"><img src="http://s3.golfballs.com/17/PING-4-Series-II-Stand-Bag-2014_Default_225.jpeg"/><span>PING 4 Series II Carry Bag</span></a></li> <li><a href="/Golf-Misc/Golf-Bags/Callaway-Golf-Chev-Stand-Bag-2014.htm"><img src="http://s3.golfballs.com/16/Callaway-Golf-Chev-Stand-Bag-2014_Default_225.jpeg"/><span>Callaway Golf Chev Stand Bag</span></a></li> </ul> </div> </li> </ul><a href="#top" class="top-link">top</a> </div></HTML> <hide>false</hide> </ConfigObject> </Config> <Conditions> <ArrConditions> <WidgetConditionsAnd> <ArrWidget> <WidgetCondition> <ID> 6ef9cd26-0845-46e2-a3ad-c46c1a178000 </ID> <LeftHandSideType> Request </LeftHandSideType> <LeftHandSide> filter </LeftHandSide> <RightHandSideType> LiteralString </RightHandSideType> <RightHandSide> what-are-the-main-advantages-of-a-carry </RightHandSide> <Comparison> Equals </Comparison> </WidgetCondition> </ArrWidget> </WidgetConditionsAnd> </ArrConditions> </Conditions> <RenderOnFullSite> true </RenderOnFullSite> <RenderOnMobileSite> true </RenderOnMobileSite> </WidgetObject> <WidgetObject> <Name> HTML </Name> <Controls> <ControlAndLocation> <Control> html </Control> </ControlAndLocation> </Controls> <Config> <?xml version="1.0"?> <ConfigObject xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <HTML><div class="bg-question Bags"> <h3>Is a cart bag a good choice for me?</h3> <ul> <li>The middle ground in golf bags are known as cart bags. These bags are smaller than staff bags but wider than carry bags. They have ample room for storage and fit well on the back of a golf cart, hence the name. Because bag weight is not a concern for the golfer who rides, cart bags are constructed of sturdier materials than their lightweight cousin, the carry bag. For golfers who prefer to walk but not carry their bag, cart bags also partner well with a pull cart. <div class="examples"> <div class="ex-header">examples</div> <ul> <li><a href="/Golf-Misc/Golf-Bags/Sun-Mountain-C-130-Cart-Bag-2014.htm"><img src="http://s3.golfballs.com/14/Sun-Mountain-C-130-Cart-Bag-2014_Default_ALT1_225.jpeg"/><span>Sun Mountain C-130 Cart Bag</span></a></li> <li><a href="/Golf-Misc/Golf-Bags/Titleist-Lightweight-Cart-Bag-2014.htm"><img src="http://s3.golfballs.com/15/Titleist-Lightweight-Cart-Bag-2014_Default_225.jpeg"/><span>Titleist Lightweight Cart Bag</span></a></li> <li><a href="/Golf-Misc/Golf-Bags/Callaway-Golf-Org-14-Cart-Bag-2014.htm"><img src="http://s3.golfballs.com/16/Callaway-Golf-Org-14-Cart-Bag-2014_Default_225.jpeg"/><span>Callaway Golf Org. 14 Cart Bag</span></a></li> </ul> </div> </li> </ul><a href="#top" class="top-link">top</a> </div></HTML> <hide>false</hide> </ConfigObject> </Config> <Conditions> <ArrConditions> <WidgetConditionsAnd> <ArrWidget> <WidgetCondition> <ID> b294aa6c-73ee-4414-addd-cdecc23fdf09 </ID> <LeftHandSideType> Request </LeftHandSideType> <LeftHandSide> filter </LeftHandSide> <RightHandSideType> LiteralString </RightHandSideType> <RightHandSide> is-a-cart-bag-a-good-choice-for-me </RightHandSide> <Comparison> Equals </Comparison> </WidgetCondition> </ArrWidget> </WidgetConditionsAnd> </ArrConditions> </Conditions> <RenderOnFullSite> true </RenderOnFullSite> <RenderOnMobileSite> true </RenderOnMobileSite> </WidgetObject> <WidgetObject> <Name> HTML </Name> <Controls> <ControlAndLocation> <Control> html </Control> </ControlAndLocation> </Controls> <Config> <?xml version="1.0"?> <ConfigObject xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <HTML><div class="bg-question Bags"> <h3>Who should consider using a staff bag?</h3> <ul> <li>Staff bags, sometimes known as "tour bags", are the largest golf bags available and are the ones used by PGA Tour pros. Staff bags are often made of leather and other heavy materials, have several deep pockets for storing extra equipment such as shoes and rain gear, and nearly always sport the name and logo of a golf manufacturer. Few amateurs utilize staff bags in everyday play, as these bags are quite heavy and may even be so large as to not fit well on a golf cart. <div class="examples"> <div class="ex-header">examples</div> <ul> <li><a href="/Golf-Misc/Golf-Bags/Titleist-Midsize-Staff-Bag_1.htm"><img src="http://s3.golfballs.com/16/Titleist-Midsize-Staff-Bag_BWR_225.jpeg"/><span>Titleist Midsize Staff Bag</span></a></li> <li><a href="/Golf-/Golf-Bags/Callaway-Golf-Big-Bertha-Mini-Staff-Bag-2014.htm"><img src="http://s3.golfballs.com/17/Callaway-Golf-Big-Bertha-Mini-Staff-Bag-2014_Default_225.jpeg"/><span>Callaway Golf Big Bertha Mini Staff Bag</span></a></li> <li><a href="/Golf-Misc/Golf-Bags/Taylor-Made-SLDR-Staff-Bag-2014.htm"><img src="http://s3.golfballs.com/15/Taylor-Made-SLDR-Staff-Bag-2014_Default_225.jpeg"/><span>TaylorMade SLDR Staff Bag</span></a></li> </ul> </div> </li> </ul><a href="#top" class="top-link">top</a> </div></HTML> <hide>false</hide> </ConfigObject> </Config> <Conditions> <ArrConditions> <WidgetConditionsAnd> <ArrWidget> <WidgetCondition> <ID> a6fd15f6-1c93-432a-82f1-78e9bdb27613 </ID> <LeftHandSideType> Request </LeftHandSideType> <LeftHandSide> filter </LeftHandSide> <RightHandSideType> LiteralString </RightHandSideType> <RightHandSide> who-should-consider-using-a-staff-bag </RightHandSide> <Comparison> Equals </Comparison> </WidgetCondition> </ArrWidget> </WidgetConditionsAnd> </ArrConditions> </Conditions> <RenderOnFullSite> true </RenderOnFullSite> <RenderOnMobileSite> true </RenderOnMobileSite> </WidgetObject> </Widgets> </ContentConfig>
