Missoula, Montana – Sun Mountain first introduced the ClubGlider(r) travel bag in 2008 to rave reviews for the bag’s extendable legs and wheels that support 100% of the weight while eliminating the repeated bending and lifting required with traditional travel bags. For 2009, ClubGlider continues to evolve, and multiply into a series of three different models – Pro, Meridian, and Cascade – offering protection for golfers ranging from weekend warriors to touring professionals. The 2009 Meridian is in stores now with a full-suggested retail of $319. The Pro model will be available in December at $349 and the Cascade in early 2009 at $269. For the retailer nearest you call 800-227-9224 or visit www.sunmountain.com.
ClubGlider literally glides from car to luggage counter and back again with retractable legs that easily extend and then tuck away securely for travel. And, thanks to the maneuverability of ClubGlider’s pivoting wheels, walking around is effortless. ClubGlider offers all or more of the protection and storage space of a traditional golf travel bag while eliminating the heavy lifting and constant bending required to get through the airport.
Making the cut from over 1,000 entrants in the Golf Channel “Fore Inventors Only” reality show, ClubGlider was named one of five finalists in this search for the next great golf invention. Fresh off a successful inaugural year in 2008, Sun Mountain has increased the offering to three different models. ClubGlider Cascade is the entry-level model. ClubGlider Meridian is the new name for the original ClubGlider. ClubGlider Pro is the largest of the three models and can accommodate a staff bag or two carry bags.
Benefits of ClubGlider include legs that support 100% of the weight, eliminating on average over 22 pounds of pressure from the golfer’s shoulders and back. ClubGlider can also be loaded while standing, eliminating the need to bend all the way over as with other travel bags. Additionally, with the ClubGlider, the repeated bending and lifting while waiting in line is a thing of the past. Plus, ClubGlider can support additional luggage, freeing the traveler’s hands. ClubGlider is simple, fast and easy to use with retractable legs and wheels that lock securely for travel. ClubGlider includes heavy-duty two-way zippers, thick foam padding extending down the travel bag to protect clubheads and shafts, internal storage pockets, internal cinch straps, ballistic fabric, vinyl-reinforced wear areas, and a lift assist handle.
Recently, the Sun Mountain ClubGlider was awarded Best Accessory at the Golf Europe show in Munich.
