The ifrothgolf review
TaylorMade's everyday lightweight carry bag. It is the trimmed-down sibling in the FlexTech family: a 3-way top, six pockets and a dual strap setup, all hung off a frame that tips the scales at roughly 1.4 kg. The headline trick is Leg Lock Technology, where magnets in the legs hold them flush and locked when you are on the move, so they are not springing open or rattling as you walk.
What's great
It is properly light, which is the whole point of a carry bag and something plenty of so-called lightweight bags get wrong. The magnetic Leg Lock genuinely works and stops the irritating leg-flap you get on cheaper stands. Six pockets is enough storage for a full round including the velour-lined valuables pocket and an easy-reach water bottle slot, and the dual straps spread the weight so it sits comfortably over both shoulders. The included rainhood means you are covered when the British weather does its thing.
Worth knowing
The 3-way top is tighter than a 4-way or 14-way and your clubs will jostle and tangle a bit, especially with a full set, so the headcovers can knock together. Six pockets and a slim profile mean storage is fine but not generous if you like hauling a jacket, range balls and a full snack stash. It is a carry bag first, so it is less happy strapped to a cart or buggy than a heavier all-rounder. And the real-world price sits closer to 150 to 189 pounds depending on retailer and colour, so do not pay full RRP if you can avoid it.
The verdict
If you walk and you want to feel the difference on the back nine, this is one of the safer light carry bags going. The Leg Lock is a small thing that solves a real annoyance, and the weight is honest. Just go in knowing the 3-way top trades organisation for lightness, and shop around on price.
