Hm. Last one during this shopping trip. It actually stopped me from shopping, too.
Least expensive. Least impressive. Darn. It kinda ruined the mood.
The Callaway CX Golf Cart Bag. I glanced over at it and expected to see a great product, because Callaway seldom disappoints. Except for that Callaway ball that seemed drawn to water the last time I played. Yeah, that was pretty frustrating.
But seriously, this bag was really lackluster. Blue and black, sharp looking, fairly standard-- but nothing that set it apart. It DID have separate compartments for the clubs, and a nice really large side pocket for shoes and/or jackets. It does have three other compartments for other accessories...
Wait... four total? Now let's be real. We really don't need that many pockets, I know. In fact, sometimes I'm frustrated when I have to open six different pockets to find something. However, after starting with the three other bags that I've reviewed, this one now seemed to be, well, skimpy.
I may have just been wowed too much by the gadgetry of the Bag Boy, the comfort of the Nike, or the sharpness of the Ogio. But now I just gave a cursory glance over this Callaway -- you know, for politeness -- and then just went home.
As I said in the beginning, if you are looking to stay on a lower price point than some of the others, this may be a good solid cart bag for you. Let's face it. We all can stand to save a little money nowadays.
However...
This is the last thing I'll say about it, but it's also the reason why I would recommend any of the other bags I've reviewed over this one. I picked it up and was amazed at how heavy it felt. It even felt heavier than the tech-laden Revolver. So I checked the specs tags on all the bags I reviewed. The Callaway was the heaviest. At 9.8 pounds, it beat the Revolver by a little bit, and weighed a full 4-5 pounds more than the Nike and the Ogio.
Ok I lied. This is the last thing I'll say. When I looked at who could ship it, I found out that it would ship from Target. This may sound pompous, but I love Target for three things: DVDs, their White Cherry Icees, and candles for my wife. Not golf products.
