Nike Tour Air Stand Bag Review

Nike Tour Air Golf Stand Bag

Grade: A

As I've said in previous posts, I think that walking is the only way to play golf.  Although I usually use a pull cart when playing 18 during the summer, I carry when playing a nine, or in colder weather (lugging the bag keeps me warm).

The Nike Air Tour is the third stand bag that I've owned. The others were a Ping and an Izzo. Of the three, I like the Nike the best.

First of all, the Nike has what I think is the best strap system out there -- the Izzo. And, keeping with the Nike tradition, the straps have been enhanced with a Nike "Air" system -- several air filled pads to make the shoulder straps softer. There's also a big air filled pad that rests against the small of the back.

The top of the bag is nicely padded and divided. All of my shafts are graphite, and I experienced no scratching on the paint this summer. The putter well at the top that fits my oversized Snake Eyes putter nicely.

The bag has a good variety of pockets and D rings for hooking things to. On the sides are two pockets for bottles, with mesh bottoms to let the condensation drip out.

Finally, I like the stand system. Unlike the Ping, whose legs extend whenever you set the bag down, the Nike system has a little "foot" that sticks out and doesn't activate the legs until the bag leans forward. This makes it much easier to strap it into a hand cart, or onto the back of a power cart (heresy!).
