Best TaylorMade Golf Bags 2020

TaylorMade FlexTech Waterproof Stand Bag

+ Comfortable self adjusting strap system
+ Good level of waterproofing
– Lightweight rather than super robust
–
One of the most annoying things with stand bags of the past was the constant struggle to find a comfortable strap position when carrying – one side too long, the other too short… it could be very distracting.

You won’t have that issue with the TaylorMade FlexTech – The straps are self adjusting and they slide while you’re carrying to ensure a perfect fit at all times. As such, it sits very comfortably on your back, aided by some nice padding in just the right place.

The fabric is waterproof and the pockets are seam sealed to keep the rain out.

The FlexTech stand system is smooth to operate and, working together with a collapsible base, the bag sits neatly even on undulating terrain.

Clubs are protected by a 5-way top and two full length dividers. They’re also well separated meaning you won’t have to deal with any wrestling to get clubs out.

The styling is cool and understated and, overall, there’s little to fault on this excellent stand bag.

TaylorMade Custom FlexTech Lite Stand Bag

+ Super lightweight carry bag
+ Self adjusting, self-slider strap system
– Minimal design means less storage space

The Custom FlexTech Lite is TaylorMade’s lightest, full-size carry bag. It’s a stylish and sleek design which is ideal for those who like to carry and travel with minimal kit.

The 4-way top and internal boxed dividers make club separation straightforward and there’s easy access to your sticks, while the good-sized grip handle allows the bag to be manoeuvred into and out of cars or lockers.

We like the collapsible base system which allows for smooth club removal – You won’t find yourself wrestling for a wedge at a crucial point in your round!

Although lightweight and minimal in design, there is decent storage for a bag of this size. There are eight pockets including a full-side apparel pocket, seam-sealed, suede-lined valuables pocket and easy access water bottle pocket.

The stand feels solid and, most importantly for a bag like this – it fits nicely on the back and is very comfy to carry. The self adjusting strap system is highly effective and you’ll find the clubs stay super stable when you’re walking.

TaylorMade Pro Cart 8.0 Bag

+ Solid and stable cart bag
+ Key Lock base keeps bag firmly on trolley
– Not fully waterproof

The TaylorMade Pro Cart 8.0 is a high-performance cart bag that delivers on a number of levels.

Firstly, it sits solidly and stably on any trolley and that stability is enhanced by the innovative key lock base that holds the bag in position.

A clever design means all eight pockets are easily accessible when the bag is on a trolley or cart and those pockets provide ample storage for apparel and accessories.

The fur-lined valuables pocket is a nice touch and there are dedicated spaces for balls, water bottle and range finder.

The 14-way top makes for good club access while grab handles top and bottom are useful for moving the bag around.

When it comes to lifting, the bag is also pretty lightweight for a cart bag so you won’t find it too cumbersome when moving from car to cart.

TaylorMade Cart Lite Bag

+ Super lightweight for a cart bag
+ Stylish design
– Less storage than some cart bags

The TaylorMade Cart Lite golf bag weighs in at just 2.5kg – that’s as light as some stand bags. It’s an impressive design and one that offers a good number of features to commend it.

With a 14-way padded divider, clubs are well protected while the cart-optimised base and solid design mean the bag is stable on most trollies or a cart.

The pockets are all front facing meaning they’re easily accessible at all times when the bag is sitting on a trolley. The cart strap pass through means that remains the case when the bag is on a cart.

Grab handles top and bottom, make manoeuvring this bag straightforward while a comfortable single strap makes for easy carrying when required.

Available in three stylish colours, it’s also a nice-looking bag that will give you confidence on the fairways.

The TaylorMade Pro Stand 8.0 Bag is a versatile piece of equipment. It’s something of a crossover, delivering comfortable carrying as well as good storage options.

With its 7-way, 9-inch top, it offers good club separation and a chance to organize your clubs in such a way as to make them easily visible and accessible. There’ll be no losing your 9-iron under a headcover with this bag.

Grab handles on top and side make it easy to lift and move into and out of cars or lockers, while the 4-point adjustable backpack strap makes for extremely stable and comfortable carrying.

The stand is nice and robust – no feeling it’s going to give way – and the angled base further increases stability when the stand is deployed.

There are seven strategically placed pockets delivering an impressive level of storage. This bag ticks a lot of boxes and will suit players with quite a broad range of requirements.

It has a 15-way top with integrated, oversized putter well. Combined with three full length dividers, clubs are well separated and easy to organise.

Storage comes in seven sizeable pockets, all easily accessible when the bag is sitting on a trolley or cart.

Thanks to the robust design and key lock base system, the bag remains very stable on most trolleys, but a single shoulder strap and well positioned grab handles mean it’s also easily lifted.

This bag is idea for those who like to travel light. It’s a slim, pencil-style bag that’s supremely lightweight at just 1.4kg and takes up very little room in the boot of a car or in a locker.

It’s a perfect choice for the player who wants to walk a quick nine holes or to take half a set out. But, it can easily fit a full set of clubs and there’s storage enough for a waterproof jacket plus a decent amount of accessories.

It’s very comfy to carry thanks to the self adjusting strap while the extended grab handle and short, retractable legs make it easy to quickly lift and move around.
