The best golf bags are ones you barely notice. If you are thinking about your bag you aren’t thinking about your game and if you are shattered from lugging it around for three hours then your swing is naturally going to be impaired by that. TaylorMade’s FlexTech stand bag line features a patented smooth-release system, and a lightweight waterproof construction to keep your gear dry all season long. As you’d expect from the name, the bag is totally waterproof and made from high quality, lightweight materials. It comes with a PSI level of 2500mm so even in the most torrential of downpours your clubs will remain dry even if you don’t. It also comes with an easy to attach rain cover. With a slightly smaller overall footprint than the FlexTech Crossover, the FlexTech stand bag offers much of the same great storage, just with a more common 5-way top rather than the 14-way top of the Crossover model.Should you buy this over other similarly priced stand bags out there? Well it really depends on how much you are influenced by brand names and whether you like how this bag looks, and that is very much a subjective thing. It looks fantastic to me but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The 14-way top with large integrated putter well provides great functionality and the lightweight waterproof fabric ensure your belongings stay dry during the round, even if you don’t.”

There is a single shoulder strap to make carrying easy and a comfortable webbing trunk handle allows for easy removal from any vehicle. Weirdly, I have never owned a waterproof bag. I’ve always had this huge panic when it starts to rain as I try and find my waterproofs, umbrella and of course a waterproof bag cover. With this in mind, I was very excited to finally get my hands on a waterproof stand bag. FlexTech stand system *The proprietary smooth release, collapsible base system ensures no club crowding

As far as our methodology goes, we review all products properly, which means we have used each and every feature. We do this by using bags over a number of rounds and in different conditions because this helps us gauge performance on things like - ease of use, comfort, waterproofing, stability and so on. We should also mention that even in brand specific guides, no manufacturer can buy a good review because we tell it how it is. How to choose a new golf bag A grab handle at the top and a nylon strap at the bottom makes lifting the bag in and out of the car very straightforward.
