CHICAGO, October 6, 2014 – Wilson Staff, building on the overwhelming recognition of the neXus™ carry, is proud to announce the launch of the neXus cart, available at retail on October 15, 2014.
“The neXus carry was wildly received by the marketplace,” commented Jean-Pierre Degembe, Product Line Manager – Golf Hard Good Accessories. “With a Golf Digest Hot List gold medal and MyGolfSpy’s 2014 Best Overall Carry Bag award, the neXus carry inspired us to create a cart version with a similar design approach, engineering it from the outside in.”
The new neXus cart features two heat-treated aluminum connectors that vertically extend up the sides of the bag and lock in at five attachment points. They serve as the external structure, known as exo-frame technology, and protect the integrity of the bag.
“These external connectors are lighter in mass than what makes up the interior construction of other cart bags,” explained Degembe. “Using these as the foundation of support has decreased its overall weight to just five pounds. Meanwhile, their slight curve helps to provide a stronger, more rigid structure.”
The bag features a new top technology called S-Lock™, consisting of fourteen placeholders that “lock in” single clubs near the hosel to prevent rattling on the cart or trolley. They uphold the beauty of club heads by keeping them stable, and their thermoplastic rubber makeup protects graphite shafts from blemishing.
Nine pockets, geometrically placed for easy external access on the cart or trolley, provide sufficient storage space for garments and accessories. Six stylish, gender-neutral offerings and one women’s offering – tailored to the height specifications of women’s clubs – measure up to the trendy expectations of the neXus franchise.

In addition to the neXus™ cart option, Wilson Staff will launch an all-new Cart Plus™ bag on October 15, 2014.
“This bag is engineered for the functional golfer seeking convenience,” comments Global Director of Marketing, Doug Thiel. “With its oversized lift handles and putter well and its fourteen club dividers, this bag and its owner mean business.”
The golfer can depend not only on its seven pockets for ample storage space, he or she can trust its durability due to the bag’s strong tube construction. Perfect for trolley golfers, the bottom of the Cart Plus locks in with the trolley’s base to secure its position on uneven terrains.
Three conservative color options allow the bag to maintain a clean look for a long period of time. However, harsher, jagged edges and pattern designs add a modern, technical style.
