The Japanese company Mizuno is world renowned for their state of the art forged irons, but today’s news is about their latest BR-D series golf bags, which prove that Mizuno is also playing with the best in the business when it comes to accessory equipment. The new line of golf bags is designed to deliver performance and versatility at affordable prices for everyday golfers, and the new range spans from waterproof cart bags to lightweight and reasonably priced Sunday style golf gear, i.e. there’s a practical and stylish solution for everyone, depending on one’s particular requirements.
And here’s the breakdown: first, we have the Mizuno BR-D2 Stand Bag, which can be best described as the quintessential Sunday style bag for the occasional golfer; it’s worth mentioning that the BR-D2 is the perfect choice for practice, as it’s lightweight, compact, affordable and useful in a myriad of scenarios, whether we’re talking about a quick 9 holes or a full weekend break on Mar-a-Lago. This stylish golf bag is subtle and incredibly light, featuring a two way full length divider, as well as a seven inch top, i.e. it’s perfectly capable of carrying all your clubs securely and hassle free. The BR-D2 Stand Bag comes with a mini stand, a nice touch from Mizuno, which prevents your bag from getting wet when you lay it on the ground. However, the underbelly of the BR-D2 is waterproof anyway, so there’s no problem regardless of you using the respective mini stand or not; the cherry on top is the matching rain hood, which means your clubs will stay dry too.
When it comes to storage spaces, the BR-D2 Stand Bag offers a valuables pocket for your watch/smartphone/whatever, an apparel pocket for your rangefinder, a ball pocket and also a drinks pouch, which means there’s enough space for virtually everything important, despite the bag’s concise size. In order to provide comfortable carrying, the BR-D2 Stand Bag comes with double shoulder straps, and Mizuno added into the mix a brand new 'climbers-style' accessories slip, which makes this bag very easy to use.
Next, there’s the Mizuno BR-D3 Stand Bag, which is a little bit larger than the D2, yet it’s still relatively compact and lightweight, making for an excellent mobile option on the golf course. The Mizuno BR-D3 comes with a 9.5’’ padded cuff, featuring a four-way full length divider, designed to keep your gear well protected. And since we’re talking about gear, the bag offers plenty of storage space in the shape and form of eight pockets in total, which means you’ll be able to carry literally anything during a normal round, including a few bruskies. Just like the BR-D2, the Mizuno BR-D3 is designed with a padded double shoulder strap and the aforementioned climbers style metal accessory clip for ease of use; moreover, you’ll get a cool insulated drinks pocket (a welcome upgrade from the D2), as well as a velour lined valuables pouch. What’s new in the D3 is that the bag comes with grab handles located at the top/bottom, for added comfort. Finally, the Mizuno BR-D3 is available in four color ways.
The Mizuno BR-D4 Stand Bag is built to be the “Cadillac” of golf bags, as it provides more storage space than the D3 and it’s designed with a versatile base, which means the D4 is the perfect choice for both carry bag users and trolley users alike. Okay, you’ll have to pay more for this baby, but the D4 comes with tons of storage capacity, including twelve different pockets and cleverly designed compartments; this means you’ll never run out of “office space” on the golf course. And don’t worry, as the insulated beverage pocket is still there, as well as the metal clip.
Moving along with our story, we have the Mizuno BR-DRI Stand Bag, which boasts a seamless/waterproof construction, making for the ideal companion in harsh weather conditions. The BR-DRI Stand Bag is built with mobility in mind, as it’s lightweight and offers six protected pockets to store your valuables, being covered by one year waterproof guarantee. Everything about the BR-DRI Stand Bag is about performance in bad weather, but there’s a premium to pay for that, i.e. it’s more expensive.
If you’re looking for maximum storage capacity and Tour inspired design, just go for the Mizuno BR-D4C Cart Bag, which features no less than twelve different compartments/pockets. There’s also an integrated umbrella sleeve located behind the bag’s main side pocket, as well as a fourteen way divider and a large ten inch top, which translates into better ergonomics and ease of use. Despite its generous size, the BR-D4C Cart Bag is relatively easy to carry around, as it comes with a cart compatible base and even grip handles.
Last but not least, we have the Mizuno BR-DRI Cart Bag, which makes for the ultimate/waterproof cart bag option, due to its seamless design and construction, not to mention the rain hood which protects you and your gear in bad weather. The bag is backed by one year waterproof guarantee from Mizuno Golf and it features a fourteen way divider, along with a cart-compatible base, and, obviously, this baby is the most expensive of the bunch.
