Take the Weight off your Shoulders with the Ping Craz-e-lite Stand Golf Bag
There are many reasons why golfers select the golf bag that they prefer to use, not the least of which is the weight of the bag. The Ping Craz-e-lite stand golf bag is the first choice of many for many reasons, but one of the major reasons is in the name: Craze-e-lite. That’s right, you’ve got it. It is very light.
How often do you come across a golf bag that weighs less than four pounds? That’s right: four pounds! That’s not just light, that’s superlight; or craz-e-lite as they call it. Don’t think that the lack of weight indicates a lack of features, because this stand bag is packed full of them. In fact, if you take some time to think of the essential features that a golf bag must have, and then jot down all the extras you would like to see in your ideal stand bag, you will have to be writing an awful lot down to list something that this bag does not have.
Ping Craz-e-lite Golf Stand Bag
The Craz-e-lite is ideal for the golfer that wants a good combination of features and ease of carrying. Let’s have a look at it.
You already know that the weight is less than four pounds. Some prefer a heavier bag since they feel it will be more robust and resistant to damage and the weather, and while this can be true to an extent, the Craz-e-lite is more endurable that its weight might suggest.
It has five pockets all together, of which one is a ball pocket with a tee holder. The others can be used for anything you want, including your gloves and rainwear. The straps are precurved to prevent them twisting and you can also adjust them while you are carrying the bag. The bag is made from rip-stop nylon, so that any snags will not ruin the bag, and the mesh construction provides added strength and great durability.
This is a stand golf bag made to last in spite of its lightness, and it also protects your clubs. The full length dividers protect the shafts, and the six-way divider top is patented. There is also a water bottle pouch which you will die for when playing on these desert golf courses in Arizona and Nevada, and also on your home course when it gets hot. You can’t always wait for the nineteenth hole!
As with any stand golf bag, there are pros and cons, so let’s have a look at them.
POSITIVES
* How many stand bags can you find that weigh less than a decent sized chicken? Very few.
* The sliding straps are easily adjusted. They are also pre-curved to stop them twisting.
* The nylon material will not rip. The rip-stop design is the same as that used in hot-air balloons and parachutes.
* A rain hood is provided.
* The full length dividers protect your clubs, not only as you carry them round the golf course, but also in transit in your trunk.
* You can have your own customized embroidery put on your bag when you order it.NEGATIVES
Surprisingly very few, since stand golf bags that swell themselves on their lack of weight are normally lacking something. In this case more weight would not necessarily provide more protection, since your clubs are well protected without it.
Storage for rainwear, shoes and other requirements on the course is adequate, but not as comprehensive as larger bags, but who would expect to carry a cooler and six-pack in a golf bag designed to be light and suitable for those that need this type of golf bag.
This is not for you if you are looking for an imposing bag that holds everything, including the kitchen sink. However, for anybody who is seeking a light stand bag, with a secure tripod stand, and designed and fabricated by a reputable golf manufacturer, the Ping Craz-e-lite stand golf bag is a good choice. It is a fully featured stand golf bag, though as would be expected, lacks the storage space of its heavier brothers.
