Filled Models to Date

BASINGSTOKE, Hants. (January 30, 2019) – TaylorMade Golf is the industry leader in

product innovation and technology, which is no exception when it comes to golf

bags. TaylorMade announced today the release of its new 2019 golf bag line, which utilise the

company’s popular and proven FlexTech™ technology. Combining ultimate functionality with

aesthetically appealing design elements, the 2019 TaylorMade golf bag line utilises premium

materials with increased attention to detail in every aspect of creation, resulting in the

company’s most well-rounded, ergonomic golf bags to date.

In 2019, the company has placed continued emphasis on the category that has realised

significant growth – nearly tripling its market share – in the last three years. This has been

accomplished by utilising extensive consumer research and an

overhauled development process to create golf bags with strength, durability and efficiency

from the ground up.

There are two primary features that highlight each of the new 2019 bags: the

company’s proven FlexTech base system & an all-new self-adjusting strap system that allows for

a stable, comfortable carry. The FlexTech base system is a multi-piece collapsible base that

allows for easy deployment with additional space that negates club crowding. The all-new self-

adjusting strap system allows golfers to have balanced bag without having to adjust

cumbersome straps. Without a back pad the straps are more effective when utilised as a single

or double configuration.

Highlighting TaylorMade’s 2019 golf bag line are the FlexTech and FlexTech Waterproof golf

bags, featuring a unique construction that has each main side pockets built into the center of the

golf bag to create a single piece construction that allows for more storage without adding

weight.

The overall design was a result of market research that showed a significant percentage of

people who purchased the previous generation bag also use them in carts in addition to walking

during rounds. The bag was designed for more pocket space and features a cart strap

passthrough to allow easy access to the oversized apparel pocket through a unique single piece

construction.

In addition to the FlexTech Stand Bags, TaylorMade is also introducing the first generation of

the FlexTech Waterproof Stand Bag, designed to appeal to customers seeking protection from

the rain with the same performance features as the FlexTech bag. The FlexTech Waterproof

Stand Bags offers 5 waterproof welded pockets and an umbrella holder.

Further validating the bags at the highest level, TaylorMade Tour staffers Jon Rahm,

Beau Hossler & Chez Reavie, among others, will be carrying the FlexTech Stand Bags this week

at the Waste Management Phoenix Open in Scottsdale.

FlexTech Crossover Stand Bags Also new to TaylorMade’s 2019 golf bag line is the FlexTech Crossover Stand Bags.

The FlexTech Crossover bag was the company’s best-selling bag in 2018 and aligns with the 14-

their clubs.

While technically a stand bag, designers straddled the line of a cart & stand bag when designing

the Crossover. The new design allows for a cart strap passthrough that makes loading the bag on

carts more efficient and more importantly gives the golfer access to the two oversized apparel

pockets on the side of the bag that are made possible by the unique design built into the center

ball pocket.

The bag features three larger front-facing pockets (including a cooler pocket with a drain port),

for easy access storage while strapped onto the cart.

FlexTech Lite TaylorMade’s FlexTech Lite is the lightest bag in the Flextech family made for the walker

looking for a quality carry bag built to last. The new version of the Flextech Lite is lighter, more

comfortable to carry and overall, a more functional design than the prior generation.

Weight was saved in this bag by moving to a single stay construction versus 3 or 4 stays

previously used. The main stay that runs along the spine of the bag was modified to ensure it is

durable while remaining lightweight.

to allow for easy access to their rangefinder before taking the bag off their back. For the most

discerning golfer every element of the new FlexTech Lite is designed to provide ultimate

comfortable and usability during the hours of carry and miles walked.
