*PUETZ GOLF PRICE $134.95

When golf manufacturing giant PING set out to make a new golf bag in 2007, they knew that women represented a growing part of their customer base. Thus it is that when PING’s designers emerged from their planning, they had crafted the most multi-purpose bag then available – the Freestyle. At just under five pounds, the Freestyle won’t wear down your shoulders – no matter how slight your frame. Furthermore, its eight pockets – included a lined valuables pocket – make for plenty of room to store all of your balls, gloves, tees, etc., when you’re out on the course, while its patented four-way top and three full-length dividers make it easy to sort your clubs without your shafts becoming stuck. A rain hood, towel loop and DoubleMantis stand legs are also all standard. If there’s any complaint about the Freestyle, it’s that the strap design can make it more awkward to carry than certain other bags of a similar size, but more and more courses make carts mandatory these days, anyway, and for our money, the lightness and versatility of the Freestyle make it one of the best om the market.
