Hybrid stand bags are becoming more and more popular. But what is a hybrid golf bag? Simply put, it's a golf bag that can be used both as a stand bag and as a cart bag equally effectively. I've tested a handful of these types of bags now - like the Motocaddy EliteFlex and Big Max Dri Lite Hybrid Prime - and think I've cracked the exact type of golfer these bags are for. They're a niche category, but Sun Mountain’s new offering is one of the few lightweight and fully waterproof options in this space.
To me, a hybrid golf bag is for the golfer who uses a trolley or ride-on cart 80% of the time, but does have the want or need to carry their bag the other 20% of the time. The hybrid bag allows this type of golfer to buy one type of golf bag, instead of having to buy one of the best stand bags and one of the best cart bags at the same time.
