Missoula, Montana – Sun Mountain continues to be the defining force in the evolution of the golf bag with the new ZERO-G(r) carry bag that transfers the weight of the clubs from golfers’ shoulders to their waists. ZERO-G is carried like a traditional dual strap bag with the addition of a belt that is naturally positioned at the hip and simply closed with an adjustable Velcro(r) strap. ZERO-G allows the bag to feel nearly weightless by transferring the majority of the weight off of the shoulders which results in more upright posture and reduced upper body fatigue. ZERO-G is in stores now with a full-suggested retail of $239.99. For the retailer nearest you, call 800-227-9224 or visit www.sunmountain.com.
Research has shown that transferring carried weight from the upper body to the lower body disperses that weight throughout the entire body allowing one to walk with a more upright posture. It stands to reason that lightening the load on the neck and shoulder muscles and transferring this load to the larger muscles of the lower body can in fact improve one’s game.
“We have had other strap systems that transfer weight from the shoulders to the waist,” explains Sun Mountain President, Ed Kowachek. “The advantage of ZERO-G is that the fit can be customized to the golfer by simply adjusting the length of the waist belt. ZERO-G is one size fits all and its use quickly becomes second nature.”
The belt on the ZERO-G is a one-size-fits all padded strap that threads between the bag and the hip pad, adjusts simply from 28″ – 46″ and then holds tight with a Velcro closure. As an added bonus the inside of the belt on the ZERO-G is a non-slip rubberized material that holds the bag against the golfer’s body securely and keeps the bag from twisting or bouncing.
ZERO-G is a new performance enhancing carry system incorporated onto the same frame as the Sun Mountain Superlight 3.5 that in 2001 broke the ultra light barrier as a full-featured, 3-1/2 pound golf bag. ZERO-G includes a built-in top collar handle that provides a convenient spot to grab when removing the bag from the shoulder, top-molded stand attachment for stability, and patented Roller-Bottom stand mechanism. The bag includes a six-way top with full-length dividers; seven pockets including a full-length clothing pocket, waterproof velour-lined valuables pouch, water bottle pouch, and stacked accessory pockets; and Sun Mountain’s Dual X-Strap system for balanced carrying in an easy-on/easy-off design.
In addition to golf bags, Sun Mountain is dedicated to finding the most innovative fabrics, the latest weaving processes, and the best designs to manufacture a line of performance outerwear that includes rainsuits, windshirts, fleece and the RainFlex(r) collection. Sun Mountain is an officially licensed supplier of outerwear to the PGA Tour, Champions Tour, Duramed Futures Tour, and Nationwide Tour. The Sun Mountain Speed Cart(r) is the leader of the push cart market.
For over 25 years, Sun Mountain has been designing and manufacturing functional, high-quality, lightweight golf bags for the serious golfer. Sun Mountain is responsible for many industry firsts, including being the first to use backpacking technology to produce a lightweight nylon golf bag, and being the first to develop a stand bag with integral legs.
