Importantly many brands have started to realize that we want our golf bags to look good as well as be functional. As such there are loads of unique designs and colors to choose from so it is a case of finding something you like the look of.

We highly recommend the Mizuno carry bag for style-conscious golfers as it allows them to carry their golf clubs in style without sacrificing quality. These bags are designed to be less bulky and have a rain hood which is great if you’re planning to play golf throughout the winter. With a slightly smaller overall footprint than the FlexTech Crossover, the FlexTech stand bag offers much of the same great storage, just with a more common 5-way top rather than the 14-way top of the Crossover model.According to G/FORE, this is the brand’s best-selling carry bag, and it’s easy to see why, as it offers standout looks, tons of features and great versatility. Put simply, this bag oozes style and attitude. It may not appeal to all looks-wise, but we've been long time admirers of the brand's style.

The main downside to this bag is that it is not fully waterproof and as such you will want to bare this in mind if you play frequently in changeable conditions. There is a matching rain hood included so your clubs and belongings can stay protected should the weather change unexpectedly. I like that the bag has an external foot action. It would be nice to see this come to North America, but I think the walker’s market is too small.When it comes to our process of testing golf stand bags, we take it very seriously. Whether we are sent a product or buy it ourselves, we put each bag to the test out on the golf course to ensure we can provide thorough and reliable advice. Most importantly though, manufacturers cannot pay for a good review because we tell it how we see it. Every member of the Golf Monthly team is an avid golfer and as such, knows what does and doesn't make for a good stand bag. Specifically to stand bags, we put the stand itself to the test on different lies, angles and ground conditions because there is nothing more annoying than a stand bag with a poor stand. This comprehensive testing style is not just exclusive to golf bags either, we test using the same ethos and methodology across all gear categories. How to choose a stand bag The Mizuno stand bag is available in the signature Mizuno colours: blue and navy, meaning that you needn’t worry about carrying your clubs around the golf course in style. To minimize the risk of contracting or spreading coronavirus, all parcels will not require an electronic mobile device signature.

Someone asked if this is SM 2.5 killer. I don't know. IMO, SM has always been my go-to for bags. I don't own a 2.5 but they seem very well made. Time will tell with the K1 LO. But if you can find one cheap, I'd say go for it. The Mizuno stand bag is specifically designed to remain in perfect carrying position to make it easier for golfers to transport their golf clubs and other vital equipment.

It is definitely one of the more classic looking bags in our list and we think it looks best in neutral colors, meaning all of your headcovers, towels and other accessories will match nicely with this bag when it is being used. It is such a favorite of ours that we also included it in our best Ping golf bags guides. In terms of balance I had the 2016 4up model and agree then bag felt a bit base heavy when carrying plus the padding on the straps was thin and not the most comfortable. The 2018 4up the straps slide and this gives a far better balance point for this lightweight bag and makes it far more comfortable over a round to carry.
