Standbags – Versatile and Lightweight Carriers with Staying Power

Standbags are golf bags designed for carrying clubs and accessories, usually worn on the back using a shoulder strap. They are smaller and lighter than cart bags, making them easier to carry around the golf course. Some standbags can also be transported using a trolley. Four key factors should be considered when choosing a standbag: Material, Compartments, Dividers, and Stand Legs.
Material: Given that standbags are often carried by hand, they should be lightweight. Three kilograms are acceptable, but less than 2 kilograms is ideal. Nylon is a suitable material due to its lightness and relative resistance to dirt and water. Many models are even waterproof, including seams and zippers, ensuring the contents stay dry during rain. The bag's weight should not exceed 10 kilograms to prevent strain during carrying, which could compromise the waterproofing of seams.
Compartments and Extras: While standbags naturally have fewer and smaller compartments, modern standbags still offer ample storage space along with useful extras like a beverage compartment, towel or glove holder, and more. Most come with a rain cover for heavy downpours. A well-padded shoulder strap is essential to ensure extended carrying is comfortable. There are various ergonomic systems available to suit different needs.
Dividers and Top: Smaller standbags often have limited compartments for golf clubs. Larger standbags feature continuous individual club dividers made of lightweight nylon. The tops of the bags are also made from nylon or velour. Plastic dividers are less common due to their weight.
Stand Legs: A crucial component of standbags is the stand legs, typically made from fiberglass. When the bag is placed on the ground, the legs extend, and when lifted, they retract. For use with a trolley, an integrated folding system is essential.
