Finding the perfect stand bag depends on which features are the most important to the golfer, so it’s very often a case-by-case scenario on which bag is the gold standard. Features such as weight, club dividers, pocket organization, and stand mechanism all come into play. Regarding pocket configuration, what if players could alter the bag by removing unnecessary pockets for a particular round? That is where we start today as Bag Boy introduces us to the ZTF Stand bag.
ZTF stands for Zip-To-Fit Functionality and allows for this stand bag to fit a golfer’s needs on a day-to-day basis. We all have experienced those rounds where there will be no need for rain gear or extra layers. But who wants to go through their bag, remove all those excess items, and then pack them back in at some future time? If you are like me, you don’t, and all those extra things stay in the bag and over time continue to add weight.
ZTF provides the ability to remove not just one but two side pockets, taking this stand bag down to a slimmer, lighter version thanks to a combination of zippers and velcro. Instead of eliminating those accessories from the large side pocket, remove the pocket from the bag itself.
“We couldn’t be more excited to introduce this innovative bag to the golf market,” said Craig Ramsbottom, President of Bag Boy. “The development of the ZTF is a project that we’ve been working on for a while. We think having two bags in one is a complete game changer.”
While the zip-to-fit functionality is the headliner, this bag hits the mark on many other features. It has a four-way top with full-length dividers, a flex base to activate the stand legs, and an insulated sleeve for your on-course beverage of choice. Bag Boy ZTF also includes a sliding shoulder strap system and a thick hip pad for comfortable carrying. Not to mention that it only weighs 4.5 lbs. Tailor this bag to your needs on any given round, and it will be a pleasure to carry around the course.
Anyone who has used a stand bag on a push cart understands that they don’t always go together like peanut butter and jelly. The legs can get in the way, causing some twisting and needing to readjust the bag throughout the round. But with Bag Boys’s Top-Lok Technology, the bag will lock into the upper cradle, eliminating the twisting problem. It creates such a secure connection that golfers don’t need to use any upper straps on the cart. To fully utilize this system, you will want a Bag Boy push cart, and in that case the Nitron is an excellent way to go.
Bag Boy ZTF is available in five colors: Pearl White, Black Onyx, Slate, Midnight Blue, and Moss, with a price tag of $249, and it will be available on February 1st.
