First Impressions
Straight away, this is a really smart-looking golf bag. This bag comes with five different colour options. I tested it in gunmetal with Powakaddy’s signature yellow on the trims.
I like the way that Powakaddy has considered how this looks on both their push and electric trolleys, allowing the colourways to tie in really nicely.
Powakaddy Dri-Tech Cart Bag: NCG Review
Generally, I tend to stick to carry bags when I play, but do find in tournament golf they aren’t always that waterproof and it can be easy to run out of space. So I was eager to see what the Dri-Tech golf bag could offer.
There is certainly a lot of room in this golf bag, even I, who takes everything but the kitchen sink out on the golf course with me, couldn’t fill up all seven spacious pockets provided. If I was being picky it would be nice to have a separate water bottle pocket/holder so you can easily access your drink. However, there is plenty of space in the rest of the bag to keep a water bottle or two.
There is also a built-in umbrella holder, a towel holder and a scorecard holder on the front of the middle pocket.
It comes with a 14-way divider for your clubs which keeps your clubs separated nicely and makes it very easy to find what club you want quickly. There is also a large dedicated putter bay that can house any size of putter grip, this is extremely useful for players with large putter grips that wouldn’t fit in a conventional club slot.
I was really surprised at just how lightweight this golf bag is. It weighs in at just 2.3kg and is easy to carry around and lift into your car even when full to the seams.
This bag is waterproof thanks to its heat-welded coating, which so far has successfully kept my golf clubs dry in light and heavy rain. The pockets have superior heat-welded seams to keep water out. In previous experiences with this tech, the pockets can become very hard to access but Powakaddy have done a very good job of making all your kit accessible.
I have used this with both the Powakaddy DLX-Lite FF Push Golf Trolley and the new PowaKaddy RX1 GPS Electric Trolley, and it sits fantastically on both thanks to the PowaKaddy Key-Lock anti-twist system on the bottom of the golf bag.
