When engineering a better design or a more effective solution to a specific problem, the path can lead to an unconventional approach. Whatever the product, if the visuals undergo such a drastic change, there will understandably be some resistance to it. This phenomenon isn’t exclusive to golf, but let’s face it, the golf world tends to lean more toward traditionalism than toward outside-the-box thinking. Think back to your initial reactions when you saw changes in golf, such as larger driver heads, square driver heads, or those larger hybrid irons. Drastic changes can stir up uncomfortable emotions because they go against established norms.
Golf bags have undergone many changes over the years. They have become lighter, improved in stand mechanisms, and now offer customizable pockets that can be added or removed. The introduction of 14 and 15-way bags has helped golfers keep their clubs organized, but there is still a common issue: club chatter. Depending on your perspective, this noise can be either comforting or cringe-worthy, as it signifies that clubs are bouncing off each other, potentially leading to scratches and wear.
This brings us to Nevr Looz Golf, which has reimagined the golf bag to address common challenges faced by golfers. Their design aims to eliminate bag chatter, keep your clubs organized, and ensure that golfers never lose a club while on the course. If you’re seeing the Nevr Looz Pro Clip bag for the first time, you might find yourself doing a double take. I initially felt the same way, but after using this bag for several rounds, my perspective completely changed.
The Nevr Looz Pro Clip C2 Golf Bag
As one can tell from the images, the design of this bag is unique. However, all the major aspects are thoughtfully done. Designed from the inside out, the internal lightweight aluminum frame provides sufficient structure to keep your clubs protected when the bag is lying down in your trunk or travel bag. This frame also accommodates the open front design of the bag, enabling easier removal of clubs and facilitating the use of the cart strap. More on that later.
On top of the cage are two parallel rails that support the Never Looz club clips. These clips securely hold irons and wedges, eliminating the risk of them accidentally banging into other clubs in the bag. There is more than meets the eye with these clips, though, because as you know, not every iron comes in the same shape and size. As part of the design, these clips incorporate a ratchet system that allows them to slide and tilt, providing extra space when using a set of hybrid irons compared to traditional iron heads. During our testing, we evaluated the bag with various hybrid-style irons, and they fit perfectly.
Regarding the woods, the bag features three shaft clips located at the back, which easily clamp onto the shaft of a driver, fairway wood, or hybrid. Never Looz also provides extra hybrid/wood clips to replace the iron clip for those who need more space for different types of clubs. In my case, I needed to swap an iron clip for a shaft clip to accommodate an additional hybrid. The entire process was straightforward and took roughly sixty seconds to complete, thanks to the included screwdriver. Additionally, Never Looz offers free clip replacements if needed, with the golfer only paying for shipping.
In total, the bag features 13 clip locations and two putter wells on the outside. Why two putter wells? Because there are days when the cart might be on the driver’s or passenger’s side, the player can easily place their putter on the outside to make it easier to grab. It also allows for the addition of an extra club or set of alignment sticks.
Storage Storage Everywhere!
One might be misled into thinking that, due to the open design, there won’t be a lot of storage space within this bag, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Never Looz mentions that there are 18 pockets available, which have a significant variance in size. Storage will not be an issue, especially with the two large side pockets. Up around the top of the frame are some uniquely shaped pockets that are perfect locations for tees, ball markers, and divot tools. On the back end of the bag is the compartment for the rain hood, which, when in use, covers almost 3/4 of the bag. What I like is that when the rain cover is packed away, it’s done so in a location that won’t hinder any of the normal storage space.
As part of this review process, I brought this bag on a golf trip, knowing it would be the perfect opportunity to test it out since I would be surrounded by fellow golfers at a venue that has seen many golf bags over the years. The feedback I received from others seeing this bag for the first time was what I expected: it certainly stands out. Several members from the THP forum had the opportunity to examine its features up close, and by the end of the trip, the bag had won over many of them, even if they might not want to admit it.
Organization
Coming from a stand bag with a four-way top, the level of organization in this new bag is definitely a change for me. To be honest, by the end of my usual rounds, it’s not uncommon for my wedges to end up in the driver slot and a 5-iron or hybrid to be mixed in with the wedges. When I walk off the course, my golf bag is usually quite disorganized. Therefore, testing out a bag that promotes organization was going to be an interesting experiment.
Removing and replacing the irons using the clips was quite effortless, although there was a slight learning curve. This was not due to the clip design itself but rather because my muscle memory compelled me to grab a club and lift it up and out. However, when dealing with a driver or fairway wood, lifting straight up is not effective. Instead, you need to pull the club towards you to release it from the shaft clip. While this was a minor detail, it made the process less smooth at first compared to removing and replacing an iron.
One additional note about how the irons are positioned in the bag when clipped in is that the left side does an excellent job of showcasing the irons being used. We often discuss “shelf” or “bag appeal” regarding the design of an iron cavity, and the Pro Clip bag emphasizes displaying that cavity beautifully. In contrast, the right side of the bag only shows the face of the club, which most people wouldn’t consider to be the more appealing side.
Does it Fit Carts Properly?
In all my experiences with golf bags, this bag secures to a golf cart better than any other bag I’ve used. The design allows a cart strap to tunnel through the center of the bag rather than going around the outside, which prevents any overtightening. There is no interaction between the cart strap and the clubs, as it slides smoothly against a barrier separating the irons from the woods. Furthermore, the base is designed with a recessed bottom cap that fits perfectly onto the lip of the cart’s bag well.
These two features address common issues found in other bags, such as straps that are secured too tightly, which can make it difficult to easily remove and replace clubs. The base design also prevents the bag from twisting or shifting during play. I tested these features on three different types of golf carts, and the results were consistent: there were no adverse effects from over-tightening the bag, and no twisting occurred.
While I highlighted the positives of those two aspects, let’s now discuss the downside. Not all users of cart bags prefer riding carts, as some prefer using push carts instead. With that in mind, I attempted to get this bag to work with both a Clicgear and Motocaddy cart comfortably but was unsuccessful in both endeavors. Therefore, if this bag seems like a potential fit for your game, please note that it works best with a riding cart. Nevr Looz does offer a Pro Clip carry bag that could potentially handle push carts better. If you have one, please leave a comment and let us know.
Final Thoughts on the Nevr Looz Pro Clip C2
If you’ve reached this point, you understand that the Nevr Looz Pro Clip bag is anything but a traditional golf bag. It’s guaranteed to be a conversation starter; during my experience with it, I received reactions that ranged from puzzled looks to one person describing it as a work of modern art. While I wouldn’t go that far, every element of this bag is thoughtfully designed. From its secure strapping system for carts to the stable base design and the way each club locks into place, the Pro Clip bag continues to impress with each round of golf.
Ultimately, this golf bag lives up to its promises. It has kept my clubs organized and eliminated any bag chatter during my rounds. Thanks to its open-front design, it is even easier to load onto a cart and convenient to transport from the car to the bag drop.
For golfers seeking an alternative to the typical cart bag filled with dividers or those looking for better organization to prevent losing clubs on the course, the Nevr Looz Pro Clip bag is worth considering. Just be prepared to answer a lot of questions about it.
