The “legendary status achieved” golf manufacturer also known as Titleist announced recently their brand new 5 golf bag models across the hybrid and stand categories. The Players and Hybrid bags collection were programmed to debut at Waste Management Phoenix Open, and the company’s staffers’ caddies were delighted to carry the Players 4 Plus versions, which offer more storage compared to the regular Players Plus, which is kind of redundant if you think about it, but let that go. So, before looking deeper into the new 5 bags from Titleist, let’s mention the fact that the Hybrid line-up is aimed at golf players who enjoy both riding and walking, i.e. these babies are a nice mélange of cart and stand bag features.
Without further ado, let’s move on and take a look at the Titleist Players 4 StaDry: this stand bag is built to be as lightweight as possible, and it boasts a waterproof construction, being no less than fourteen percent lighter compared to the previous generation. In terms of design, you’ll get a low profile top cuff, tour inspired of course, along with 4 full length dividers, twenty-five percent more strap padding for improved comfort while carrying, 6 pockets, including one lined for your beverages, a specially designed one for your range finder, and a spacious/ample full length apparel pocket. The Titleist Players 4 StaDry is available in no less than 10 colorways, it weighs 3.8 lbs and it retails for $255 MSRP.
Next in line, we have the Titleist Players 4 Plus, which, as its name suggests, features a larger top cuff compared to both the Players 4 StaDry and Players 4. Since there’s no replacement for displacement, the Titleist Players 4 Plus comes with 7 different pockets, which include a waterproof valuables pocket, a special tee pocket placed above the removable ball pocket, and the ever-green full-length apparel pocket, not to mention the obligatory lined water bottle and range finder pockets. In order to boost comfort, the Titleist Players 4 Plus stand bag boasts a convertible self-balancing strap, featuring dual-density foam straps, and it’s available in thirteen colorways, weighting 4.3 lbs. As per the price tag, you’ll have to cough up $225 MSRP.
The vanilla Titleist Players 4 is built as light as a feather, being twelve percent lighter compared to the previous generation, and features an advanced hinged bottom along with high end aluminum legs, for improved stability. Furthermore, you’ll get a convertible self-balancing strap system, featuring dual density foam, for improved comfort, and six pockets, including a full length apparel pocket, a soft to touch pocket for your valuables, and obviously, dedicated pockets for your range finder and water bottle.
