Golf Bone

[TonyN]

Anyone seen, tried one of these?

Saw it at golf show a couple years back and thought it would be the next big thing.

So surprised these still haven't taken off.

I really want one.

Really don't see the point of it myself. It's one of those things that solves a problem that really isn't there.

Actually, I think the problem does exist.

The problem is most people are ignorant of the problem, which makes it hard to market such a product.

Picking up a golf bag, or even pulling a trolley puts a lot of pressure on the back, as the spine twists to do it, whilst under quite a heavy and often unevenly balanced load.
I wouldn't be suprised if bad use of a bag or trolley caused just as many back injuries as the swing. Most people just assume it's the swing though, if they develop pain or an injury after playing golf.

I think he meant that the problem doesn't exist because everybody on this forum uses lecci trolleys...

Don't bother, I had an Ogio one - the sling, schling, schwing - something like that. It was meant to make carrying easy, be comfortable and save your back........nah

As I am fairly broad shouldered, I could never get the thing comfortable on my shoulders and back, it always felt it was digging in somewhere. I think it lasted for two rounds before I went back to double straps and was more comfortable immediately.

Dont believe the hype

Are you kidding. My back is wrecked from all sports but golf puts the most strain on it. All golfers I see carrying, lean forward to compensate for the weight of the bag.

With the golf bone, you dont have to. It allows you to stand up straight. Having come back from my first physio session yesterday being told my posture is poor, a lot of it is caused by carrying.

When I tgried the golf bone, it was awsome! So easy to pick the bag up and so comfortable on the shoulders,

I like the idea/concept as my posture is poor after carrying so long especially on wet or windy days.
wouldnt mind testing one out

 

[palindromicbob]

The copied this idea from some where else.
