Can anyone recommend me a lightweight carry bag.

[RichardC]

Im looking to change my now 10 year old Taylor Made bag as it's now showing it's age

Needs to be able to hold a full set of clubs (already have a pencil bag) and be as light as possible (bad back and not a fan of trolleys).

Many Thanks

I like the ogio vaporlite's, the ping carry bags also get good praise on here.

Not from me. No way, Jose.
If I was looking (which I'm not) I'd go with Ogio given what I've seen and heard.

Fancy a nice blue and white Mizuno Aerolite to go with your new driver????
The first (blue) one in the link....

Much cheapness.

I recently got a Mizuno Twister. Absolutely best bag I've ever had, I'm starting to think about a trolley now, I was a bit hasty but it is a great bag, sadly I'm not getting younger.

It was one that I looked at

Will have to find a shop near me that has the Ogio so I can have a look at it.

I had a lightweight bag once - filled it with clubs and it weighed a ton.

Can't see the point in "lightweight " bags. OK they weigh 2 or 3 lbs less than an ordinary one but then you stick 1/2 a hundredweight of kit in it! The odd 2 or 3 lbs here and there isn't going to make that much difference and if you've already got a bad back then continuing to carry is going to make it worse.

Pull trolleys for me are worse than carrying.

If I spent the £300-£400 for an electric trolley my wife would kill me

The difference between my current bag with clubs and a friends Ping bag is huge.

Spend 100 quid on a PK Twinline 3-wheeler and push it. Unless your course is very hilly its no problem. Great trolley.

I will take a look.

Thanks

Agreed.

I was lining up an electric trolley until my TV broke.

So much for getting any mileage out of a knackered ankle.

Someones got to say it

A Go-Kart for about £230 - you can't go wrong!

Look after your back.

Ogio bags are great, I would recommend the vaporlite and not the Grom. The grom is quite heavy as is the Edge.

vaporlite - light Weight - 1.7 kg
Ozone - Light Weight - 1.9 kg
Grom - Medium Weight - 3.7 kg

The Nike Extreme Sport bag is very light although only has 6 pockets which is enough for your golfing essentials

How about TaylorMade Golf Bag #115? It's blue and I wish you can have a try.

If you've got a bad back, this alone is enough to justify an electric trolley, or at least a very good push (not pull) trolley.

I've used my electric trolley for a months now and the one round that i take a carry bag with me, i come back with a goosed back. It wasn't the only factor, but the fact that i had to carry my clubs back up a hill to the clubhouse after injury, rather than have my trolley carry them for me, did not do my back any favours. That was over a week ago and it's looking like at least as long before i get to swing a club again. Might have been back playing already if i didn't have to carry a heavy bag (

It really is worth the extra expense and you soon get used to it.

Just to clarify, my bad back comes in fits and only really happens after carrying on rather hilly or hard walking courses, and im normally back up and playing after a couple of days.

I have looked into electric trolleys but im so forgetful that the battery will never be charged when I need it

I will have to work on the wife, as she does like to have a moan when I buy golf gear
She has only just found out about the G15 I got from Smiffy!!!

I just leave the battery on charge all the time when I'm not using it. I unplug it to take it to the course and plug it straight back in again when I get home.

I also put a big sticker on it saying "Do not unplug!" so the other half doesn't unplug it.

Ogio do make nice bags with some very clever features but they are not cheap.

You can pick up some good value second hand electric trolleys too. So its worth taking a bit of time and checking out eBay. Our pro normally has a couple of used electric trolleys too.

If you think that you'd like to go electric then it'd be worth looking around. I picked my Motocaddy up second hand for £120 from eBay and never looked back.

A quick look shows there's loads of them on there at the moment.
