I've been on the hunt for a very light golf bag that I can take on short courses.

In my quest, I looked at pencil bags, sunday bags etc....and I had two big issues with them:

1) they don't stand
2) they're too small

In my research I came across this bag from Callaway:

1) it's new for 2010
2) it weighs in at 3lbs
3) it can carry a full set of clubs (I wouldn't)
4) it's a stand bag
5) it has tons of pockets and even a pen holder and towel holder
6) very nicely padded backpack style carry strap (you can strap it over both your shoulders)
7) construction seems very sturdy
8) comes in many color options

Overall, I can't say enough great things about this bag - it's nice and sturdy. Callaway just released this XTT feature which makes the entire bottom of your bag bend when you put it into a stand position -- this helps the bag be more sturdy when it's in a stand position.

It has 3 divisions (For me, have Woods, Irons, and Putter/Wedges)


At the end of the day, I still have my 8lb cart bag that I'll use whenever I go play at a big course but for the executive golf courses or for going to the range, I'm loving this bag right now.

I wouldn't put 14 clubs in this -- defeats the purpose of keeping things hyper-lite. I try to shoot for carrying no more than 5lbs, if I'm going to carry the bag throughout the entire golf course (that's not that many clubs)

If you don't have this bag, you're missing out.

This may be the best bag in this weight class. I had been looking very hard for a titleist, sun mountain, or taylor made bag that was (1)under 3.5 pounds (2)as waterproof as possible (3)had more than 2 sections to make 14 clubs realistic (4)had a decent stand.

Every other bag missed one of these. I even considered some sunday bags, but found nothing. I found this in a pro shop at a course an hour from home, and was very surprised by how high quality this callaway product was. I have traditionally stayed away from callaway apparel, accessories, and shoes for that reason.

The only negatives: a weird zipper system that allows you to remove the apparel pocket seems pretty pointless. Also, there is no second handle in the top rim like some of the 3.5 pound titleists, though the regular handle does a fine job. I personally prefer a single shoulder strap for caddies so I switched the very bad double strap for a single strap at my club.

Pretty good all around.

Absolutely LOVE this bag. Very roomy and light. It's a real bargain for the price.
I can easily fit 14 clubs and a putter in this bag without overcrowding it.

Received the golf bag as advertised. No problems at all. Very well satisfied with the entire ordering and receiving process.

i ended up getting the 4.0 bag cause i didn't like the 7 inch opening... but if you're not picky about that... then its a great bag
