Hunting for the best Golfing Travel Case
So you are preparing to holiday and spend a little time with your in-laws and you know what a large golfer your father-in-law is and want to be certain you bring your best game to the course when he casually decides you must go golf.
This means you probably want to have your own clubs with you when you take him on. In order to do this though, you have to pack your clubs and equipment into the cargo hold and hope everything comes out the same as it went in. Well, with the new advancements in clubs also come new advancements in the golf travel case.
The Options
A golf travel case will help you make sure your investment in top of the line equipment stays as pristine as the day you bought it. Before you go rushing out to the store to buy one though, you want to make sure you have all the facts about them.
There are 3 classes golfing travel cases can be separated into, the hard, soft and cross-breed designs. Before you assert to oneself, I need the one that will supply the best protection so I should just get the hard case, you could need to compare the differences first. All three kinds of bags have advantages and downsides to them, but they’re all designed specifically to be travel cases.
Hard Case
The commonest material the hard golfing travel case is made from is high density polyethylene. These bags are stiff and often close with locking clasps over a rubber seal to stop dust and moisture form getting to the clubs. The hard golfing travel case can be built in different sizes and shapes, to fit your particular length of club and sort of bag.
The features to search for in the hard case are through-and-through color ( so scratches don’t show ), maneuverability ( like wheels and handles ), and even collapsibility. That is right collapsibility ; Golfing Telebag has come out with a telescoping stiff case which will collapse to 24″ for storage.
So if space is a massive concern for you, but you need the stiff design, this could be a choice worth checking out. This bag will run you about $120, and the standard hard cases will run anywhere from $50 -$500. One major failing to the hard golfing travel case though is the unavailability of exterior storage compartments as you may find on soft cases.
Soft Case
Soft golfing travel cases on the other hand are often supplied with not only exterior pockets, but additional handles and padding. The common design of soft cases is composed of a nylon design with support straps and padding to go with the benefit of additional space they supply when empty. Club Glove boasts the employment of its Last Bag by more touring execs than any other product in golfing.
If you’re looking to be on par with the champs, this $250-$300 bag could be the one you have been trying to find. Still undecided which sort of bag is good for you, or perhaps both are, if that is the case, the half-breed golfing travel case might be what you’re looking for.
Hybrid Case
The design behind the cross-breed is a straightforward idea, make a tough golfing travel case with soft case features. The idea has taken some different forms, firstly being to have a tough case built into a soft case. Second , to have a tough case with attachable soft accessory bags for the outside. The disadvantage of these designs are that while traveling, the bag takes quite a thrashing and become quickly worn out, and there are a limited number of attachment pouches you are able to add to a tough case.
The solution to these problems has shown up in Cargo Golf’s “ProSeries 900”. Cargo Golf has taken the idea of the hybrid golf travel bag to the next level with the soft case “skin” which is removable from the hard case travel section of the bag. This design allows for the wear and tear of travel to be handled by the hard case inside, keeping the outer bag with all the accessories bags clean and working as long as possible, and is reasonably priced at around $189.
So there you have it, a fast review of your options for your new golfing travel case, now you can stop sweating about your clubs and start trying to work out the easiest way to beat your father-in-law and earn the status you merit.
