New Hybrid CXS combines the best of cart and carry bags
FT. WALTON BEACH, Fla. – Hybrid golf clubs have provided the biggest technological breakthrough in golf over the past two years. Now, Burton Golf, a ForeFront brand, is bringing the hybrid approach to golf bags with its introduction of the new Hybrid CXS.
"The idea was to combine the lightweight and easy carrying ingredients of stand bags with the multi-functional features inherent in cart-friendly golf bags," said Terry Andre, senior vice president of marketing.
The progressive half-cart/half-stand bag design includes all of the useful features of a cart bag (11 pockets, organizer top with full-length club dividers and an external putter clip) combined with stand bag features such as Burton’s revolutionary Monoshock stand system and a stowaway dual carry strap.
"We really feel like we’ve created a new category in golf bags that fits the needs of a majority of today’s golfers," said Andre. "Research shows that 60 percent of stand bag owners use a cart when they play golf. The Hybrid CXS is for the golfer that uses a cart the majority of the time but likes the stand feature for use on the range or next to the putting green, and for getting their bag in and out of the trunk. And they can still walk using this bag if they want to because it is so light."
The Hybrid CXS (Cart x Stand) works by incorporating Burton’s patent-pending Monoshock spring-loaded stand system into a bag with the functional features of a cart bag. A full-featured body covers a resilient internal half-tube construction in the back. Thermal formed poly material encases the stand legs and protects the Monoshock stand system for easy fit on carts.
By simply locking the stand legs in place with one easy switch and stowing the carry straps, the Hybrid CXS easily converts from carry to cart mode.
Six classic color options are available at a suggested retail price of $189.
