Wilson

It's hard to think of a company that's more creative with its golf bag design than Wilson. The company is on the cutting edge of both golf and popular culture, which is evident in its current offerings.

Perhaps the most prominent of the newer Wilson models is the Wilson Staff Eco-Carry. It's made from 100% recycled fabric, weights just 3.7 pounds, and has a Swivelmax double strap and an ergonomic hip pad that makes it easy to carry. That earned it recognition in the industry, and among its honors was a spot on the Golf Digest 2009 hot list.

Also winning a spot on the Golf Digest hot list was the Wilson Staff Tour. The signature Wilson bag, the Staff Tour has a ton of space and all the features that make it easy to handle. It has six huge pockets and a five-way divider with mesh-wrapped shaft protection to keep things organized, and at 5.5 pounds it won't strain a golfer's back and shoulders.

However, those wanting something lighter can turn to the Wilson Staff Feather, which weighs in at just three pounds. It's made of lightweight Nanalon fabric that doesn't require a golfer to sacrifice durability. Despite its small size, it has plenty of room for a full set of clubs, and its five pockets can carry more than a round's worth of gear.
