GolfTest USA research findings include, “The feature the testers commented on and liked the best was how easy it was to pop out the recessed wheels and then pull the ClubGlider along with a minimum of effort. Another feature that pleased them was the ability to fold it up when storing it in the trunk of the car or in a closet in a hotel room. The ClubGlider offered the protection of a hard rigid travel case without the difficulty of finding a place to store it when not in use.”
GolfTest USA continued, “The ClubGlider is extremely easy to maneuver. The testers liked the fact that ClubGlider stood right next to them as they advanced through the line at check-in. The Sun Mountain ClubGlider Travel Golf Bag easily meets our requirements to be awarded the GolfTest USA’s Seal of Excellence. As we like to say, “You are never sorry when you by the best”. We are also, without hesitation, awarding the ClubGlider our coveted 5 STAR rating.”
