Comments on: ClubGlider Rolls Out for 2008 http://thesandtrap.com/columns/bag_drop/clubglider_rolls_out_for_2008 Golf News, Reviews, and Commentary Wed, 07 Jan 2009 17:22:10 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Gary Sherrell http://thesandtrap.com/columns/bag_drop/clubglider_rolls_out_for_2008#comment-12260 Gary Sherrell Wed, 06 Aug 2008 16:49:08 +0000 http://thesandtrap.com/columns/bag_drop/clubglider_rolls_out_for_2008#comment-12260 Trav Thanks for the support this entire journey has been amazing and I am very thankful to be aligned with such a great company that produces quality products. To answer your question regarding the weight of the ClubGlider, we added about 2.5 pounds with the leg and wheel assembly however traveling within the 50 pound limit is not an issue even with a C130 cart bag (Sun Mountain's biggest cart bag). Much of the feedback we are receiving from users is that they are stuffing the ClubGlider to the limit and taking a carry-on for the rest to avoid the two bag extra charge at the counter. Check out this months issue of Golf Digest with Faldo and Azinger they reviewed travel bags and gave ClubGlider a Gold Medal on their "Hot List". We just put the latest demo video on our website to show off all the benefits that come with ClubGlider check it out when you get a chance. Play well, Gary www.clubglider.com Trav

As airlines are setting a 50 pound limit before assessing fees, what is the weight of this unit as compared to a "normal" travel bag? Realistically, can you travel with a typical cart bag (as opposed to carry bag) with full club set, shoes, etc., without running over the limit? Gary Sherrell said on June 29, 2008:

Those legs and small casters look a little "weak" in the pictures I've seen. One issue I run into regularly with my travel bags is wheels that get damaged. Also, small wheels may work great inside the airport, but can certainly be less effective in rough parking lots. I'd love to see a close up of the integrated leg set from the back/bottom of the bag.

Sun Mountain has graciously agreed to customize all of the orders created on the clubglider website with our own "Commemorative Limited Edition" logo. So the products are the same. We are also offering the ability to personalize your ClubGlider with your name or saying, you can try that out on the ClubGlider website as well and see how it will look on the bag before you even order. Hope this helps and thanks for the support. Gary Tedd, the only difference is the embroidery on the pocket.

I was thinking of ordering the former on the website but don't want to buy just before the new and improved Sun Mountain version is released, especially since one of them would be a gift.

But alas, its more about how many units you can sell than whether the item is truly innovative and can help people. While it is pricey, I'm sure it will come down over time, and hopefully will save a lot of sore backs. My back takes enough of a beating walking the course!
