Hunting for the best Golfing Travel Case

by admin on February 14th, 2010

So you are getting ready to vacation and spend some time with your in-laws and you know what a big golfer your father-in-law is and want to make sure you bring your best game to the course when he “spontaneously” decides you should go golfing.

This means you need to have your own clubs with you when you take him on. To do this though , you have got to pack your clubs and gear into the load hold and hope everything comes out the same as it went in. Well, with the new developments in clubs also come new advances in the golfing 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 go looking 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 that may 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 0, and the standard hard cases will run anywhere from -0. 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 golf travel cases on the other hand are usually equipped with not only exterior pockets, but extra handles and padding. The common design of soft cases consists of a nylon design with support straps and padding to go along with the convenience of extra space they provide when empty. Club Glove boasts the use of its “Last Bag” by more touring professionals than any other product in golf.

If you are looking to be on par with the champions, this 0-0 bag may be the one you’ve been looking for. Still not sure which type of bag is right for you, or maybe they both are, if that’s the case, the hybrid golf travel case may be what you are looking for.

Hybrid Case

The design behind the hybrid is a simple concept, make a hard golf travel case with soft case features. The idea has taken a few different forms, firstly being to have a hard case built into a soft case. Secondly, to have a hard case with attachable soft accessory bags for the outside. The drawback of these designs are that while traveling, the bag takes quite a beating and become quickly worn out, and there are only so many attachment pouches you can add to a hard 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 9.

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 best way to beat your father-in-law and earn the status you merit.
