If it is not 120 degrees outside or -10, I usually walk when playing a round of golf. I have been looking for a new golf bag for quite some time. My opinion was that until this bag came around, there has not been a lot of innovation in the line of stand bags. Sure the Woode system was great, but offered very little protection for iron shafts. Being a walker even the more durable steel shafts on my irons take a pretty serious beating.
This bag not only offers great protection for expensive graphite shafts, but also steel shafts. Although, if you are a regular walker, and don't want your club heads to look older than their times, I would still suggest getting covers for them (who cares what your buddies think, they will not be buying you a new set anyway). Aside from the great club management system, I was also very impressed with the amount of storage this bag contains. There are several intuitive pockets, and even nice labels on the zipper tabs to identify the purpose of certain pockets. This bag also has a nice writing utensil holder to help free up some of the clutter in your pockets.
It did take some time to get used to the dual strap system used on this bag, but anyone familiar with the IZZO style straps should not have a problem. I personally had to fiddle with it to get a good balance point. After adding all of my usual items to the bottom pockets, it felt nice.
All in all this is a great bag as far as utility for walking, and rivals many of the features on others cart bags without the benefits of being not only lightweight, but extremely mobile.
