Rickie Fowler made a couple of headlines for using a stand-bag with his caddie on the PGA Tour during the Farmers Insurance Open last week, and it's a trend TaylorMade are continuing at the Waste Management Phoenix Open. It looks like Titleist are also following suit.
Their 2019 golf bag line utilises the company's popular and proven FlexTech™ technology, and TaylorMade Tour staffers Jon Rahm, Beau Hossler & Chez Reavie, among others, will all be carrying the new FlexTech Stand Bags this week in Arizona.
Combining ultimate functionality with aesthetically appealing design elements, the 2019 TaylorMade golf bag line utilises premium materials with increased attention to detail in every aspect of creation, resulting in what TaylorMade say are the company's most well-rounded, ergonomic golf bags to date.
This has been accomplished by utilising extensive consumer research and an overhauled development process to create golf bags with strength, durability and efficiency from the ground up.
There are two primary features that highlight each of the new 2019 bags: the company's proven FlexTech base system & an all-new self-adjusting strap system that allows for a stable, comfortable carry. The FlexTech base system is a multi-piece collapsible base that allows for easy deployment with additional space that negates club crowding. The all-new self-adjusting strap system allows golfers to have balanced bag without having to adjust cumbersome straps. Without a back pad the straps are more effective when utilised as a single or double configuration.
● FlexTech colourways: titanium/blood orange, charcoal, blood orange/black, and navy/red/white.
Rounding out the 2019 TaylorMade Golf bag line is TaylorMade's newest and lightest bag in the stand bag line – the LiteTech 3.0 Stand Bag.
Weighing in at just 1.2 kilograms, LiteTech 3.0 is TaylorMade's introduction into the ultra-lite category that provides the market a full sized, quality golf bag offering. LiteTech 3.0 utilises bag body materials three times lighter than the FlexTech Lite and an ultra-lightweight and durable stand system that features carbon fiber legs and light weight collapsible base system.
While maintaining a durable and high-strength construction, the LiteTech 3.0 Stand Bag offers optimum club storage with a spacious 4-way top that has three grab handles. Not sacrificing storage within the bag body for weight, the bag has six pockets that include a large apparel pocket that can easily store a rain suit.
The LiteTech 3.0 features a self-adjusting strap system that is designed for a comfortable carry.
