How a properly fitted golf bag can save your clubs and your game
Most damage happens where you don't expect it. Anytime your bag is bouncing around in a golf cart there is an abrasive contact between club heads and shafts. This action can cause damage and weak spots in the shaft which could alter the performance and eventually lead to breakage. Choosing the proper sized bag can make a huge difference in your game.
Play with too small a bag and you won't be able to carry all the clubs
you might need. Some tour bags are too big and heavy for hot days so your
shoulders get tired from carrying your clubs. And you know what goes first
when this happens. It affects your swing!
The Caddy Carry-Comfort's exclusive patented design provides convenient carriage of 4 -5 golf clubs of any length (including extra-long titanium drivers and long putters) and easily accommodates both right- and left-handed clubs.
Club carrying cases vary widely in terms of design, size, weight, and the number of clubs they can hold. Most golf bags are designed specifically to either be used on a cart or to be carried on the shoulders, though most carry bags will also work on a gas powered golf cart. When choosing a style it's important to consider your style of play, the number of clubs you currently own, and might own and if you carry extra gear for rainy days.

If you are traveling and only plan to play a few par 3's then a lightweight travel style is a good idea. But what if you discover an 18 hole course that requires all your golf equipment? If you take a touring bag, most smaller nylon bags will fit into them. You can either take out the case that fits the course and number of clubs you need or play a par 3 with a heavy leather bag. You will have a much better game without packing all your golf gear around when you only need a lightweight bag.
