The KG:2 stand bag by Sun Mountain is the lightest bag yet made by this manufacturer. Look no further than the name of this golf bag for the answer: TG 2 = 2 kg = 4.4 pounds. Not quite as light as its predecessor, which came in at 3.5 pounds, but it includes more bells and whistles for sure.
In addition to having just about everything that a golfer can possibly desire on their golf bag, this KG:2 by Sun Mountain also offered faster leg action and retraction that is tight to the bag, thanks to the Y-spring activator (no more inadvertent activation of the standing legs); non slip foot pads and increased stability and durability (which should come as no shock to fans of Sun Mountain gear). Of course your standard accessory equipment and ball carriers go without saying.
Here are the specs!
- Aluminum legs made from high tensile.
- Leg mechanism called the Roll Bottom.
- Dual strap system called the EZ-fit by Sun Mountain.
- Bottom lift assist pocket panel.
- Three top located hand holds.
- Cell phone pocket.
- Eight various pockets.
- Bold new look demonstrating the evolution of the golf bag.
How does it look?
Talk about your color combinations: red/charcoal and black; gunmetal and lava; just black; navy and lava; and white and lime. A little something for everybody. There are eight color selections in all from which to choose.
Will it protect my clubs?
In addition to protecting your clubs, your cell phone and other must-carry items will be protected by the eight pockets on this bag; one of which is lined with velour for your nicer belongings. Talk about protection; there’s a matching rain cover that comes complete with this bag so round after round, not only your personal belongings that your prized equipment will remain secure and safe, it will be rain-proof too.
Is it convenient?
If riding is more your style (as opposed to walking the course), this bag has a convenient bottom that is part friendly with excess ball forward facing pockets and leg locking system. Maximum comfort can be expected from the contoured carrying straps which are extremely easy to adjust. For off and on the cart or in and out of the trunk of this bag, it offers convenient pocket panels designed as lift assists on only on the bottom of the bag but on the top of the bag as well; three in fact.
Will it empty your wallet?
On certain discount websites, this bag was sold new for $209.99, but Golf Digest has advertised the availability of this bag at $199 even though the manufacturer’s suggested retail price is as high as $229.99.
Sun Mountain’s reputation
Sun Mountain is known for producing some of the most reputable and durable golf bags in existence. Users are happy with most bags that come with a warranty made specifically by Sun Mountain. I definitely can tell you this: they were responsible for creating the very first integral legs on a golf stand, the production of a golf bag that is lightweight nylon and utilizes backpacking technology… And have been doing so for the last 25 years.
A number of years ago, the study was done on which golf bag, both carrying and standing, was rated as the top golf bag manufactured. Of all of them, sure enough, Sun Mountain was the maker of the number one preferred golf bag in the study.
Let’s wrap this up!
Sun Mountain is a golf equipment company that many golfers have known as one that is always thinking on its feet and always innovating. This comes as no surprise since their staff is made up of creative problem solvers, designers, engineers and down to earth golfers just like you and me.
We frequently encounter problems with swing mechanisms, various lays of various golf courses, and the game itself so this manufacturer does not want to bother us with something as simple as the logistics need of the golf game.
Some of the other attributes that this bag has not specifically listed in this box are as follows: towel ring and umbrella holder; one of the pouches is for beverages; a diameter of 9.5 inches; and a total weight of 4 ½ pounds. For this festive season, it seems like a good gift for any golfer out there!
