Swedish start-up company Grasshopper has launched a backpack-style carry case for a half-set of golf clubs that is designed to appeal to the active golfer looking to lighten the load.
Worn like a backpack, with padded shoulder straps, the Grasshopper is capable of holding up to seven clubs. The outer shell is made from a water-resistant and extremely durable ballistic nylon, while the interior features padded slots at the bottom for the clubheads, and a horizontal row of plastic receptacles at the top which the club shafts slot in and out of. This design keeps the clubs firmly in place, so they don’t knock against one another while you’re walking.
Elsewhere, there’s a mesh interior pocket for balls and tees, and a further zippered interior pocket for wallets and phones, and an exterior pocket on one side for a water bottle, plus a set of shock cords on the other side for carrying an umbrella.
The Grasshopper also features a kickstand which stays folded into the padded back panels of the backpack when not needed, but automatically flips out to prop the pack up when it’s placed on the ground. There’s also a rain cover which can be fastened over the whole pack on wet days.
Priced at £255, it can be ordered at www.grasshopperbags.com.
