Is the new Adidas aG Strike Golf Bag a stand-out?

Considered the "hero" of the 2011 Adidas Golf Bag Collection, the aG Strike Stand Bag is lightweight and durable, loaded with basic comforts and thoughtful details which will please even the most demanding golfer.


I really put this golf bag through its paces (sorry Adidas) hoisting it in and out of my car with the help of the easy-grip handle, but unfortunately it collided bottom first onto the ground a few times.

I tried to be gentle with my new stand bag but happy that Adidas had me in mind when they constructed the aG Stand Bag with double-stitched seams and strong binding on the base cuff of the bag. The sturdy non-slip rubber grips on the bottom of the arms and the crush-resistance of the bag are also appreciated!

From a woman's perspective, the lighter weight (4.3 lbs) and not-too bulky anti-fatigue straps really make a difference carrying the bag as well as putting it on/taking it off during the round. The six-way compressed nylon top, four-way full-length dividers were useful in minimizing contact between my clubs although I found that, when my round goes awry, I don't really pay much attention where that 7-iron goes...one of my mental errors which I am constantly working to improve!


Colorful and stylish, the new Adidas aG Strike Golf Bag will not disappoint the golf fashionista! Although my choice of color was the red/charcoal/gray combo (red for the Tiger Woods in me), there are other great combinations to match your outfits (and your grips): Black/Charcoal/Blue, Black/White.


There are also external slots for pen and umbrella, an insulated water bottle sleeve, an in-pocket hook for your keys, large pocket for your sweater when the temperature rises and even pull cords for every zipper making it easy to open and close each pocket. Seven pockets in total with plenty of places to store your golf accessories including a velour-lined space for your valuables.


Speaking of pocket fillers, the folks at Adidas Golf were really thinking of the consumer when they came up with the new FAS-TEK system (Fast Action Snap Technology.) Instead of fumbling through your pants pockets searching for GPS and/or cell phone, you can attach your goodies directly to the golf bag and have your GPS at your fingertips! Although sold separately, this is one innovative way that Adidas can help you "trick-out" your golf bag.


One of the niftiest items attached to my new Adidas aG Strike Stand Bag, in my opinion, is a ball marker with cut-outs of a star, line and circle. Several smiley faces adorn my golf ball so, as you can see, this added touch on the Adidas golf bag caught the eye of this female golfer!


Of course the Adidas Golf aG Strike Stand Bag is a stand-out for the most discerning male or female golf enthusiast and, believe me when I say, women make the toughest critics!

Adidas Golf Strike aG Stand Bag first impressions

Here are a few first impressions after opening the box which contained my new Adidas Golf Strike aG Stand Bag.

The Adidas Strike aG Stand bag is very light (4.3 lbs) and easily lifted out of the box with the help of the rubber-fingered grip positioned on the rim of the golf club holder. This grip should come in handy as I lift the stand bag in and out of my car.

For left-handed people like me, the Strike aG golf Stand Bag comes with the dual-carry strap set up for right-handed golfers (the majority of players) so be prepared for a quick switch-over which took me all of three minutes.

I don't think that this picture does the Adidas Golf Strike aG Stand Bag justice! The bright red color coupled with gray and black are a great combination for both men and women golfers.

The Adidas Golf Bag comes equipped with Fast Action Snap Technology which basically means that I can connect all of my golf accessories, from smart phone to GPS in a matter of seconds. I see (from the attachment on the Bag) that these accessories can be purchased at a later date but the idea intrigues me as pocket space is dwindling on my khakis!

More of a review to follow as I'm switching over my golf clubs to my new Adidas Golf aG Strike Stand Bag later today. I'll be taking my new golf bag to the course this week if the weather holds out. I need to see that this golf bag isn't just another 'pretty face' but also combines functionality and durability on the golf course!

Note: The new 2011 Adidas aG Strike Stand Bag is one in a series of five golf bags in their collection (four stand bags and a cart bag) designed to enhance the golfer's experience on the golf course.

Thank you to Adidas Golf for sending me your latest (and perhaps lightest?) stand bag!
