Our best golf stand bag 2022/2023 rankings list is our update from our 2022/23 effort. We build on the same statistical analysis as last year with just some slight mathematical changes we feel has enhanced the comparative analysis. Now a second year running under our new methodology we have limited the product analysis to those bags for the 2022/23 model year. No preference is given between the two seasons as far as weighting and scoring.
Remember our new scoring methodology does not hand out 98%. It just is not possible.
There are always tradeoffs which effect the balance of the equation. Paying an overly high price for more features may create mathematical limitation on the number of points/percentile the golf bag is able to obtain.
What we can assure you is that whatever the score the bag, the top ranked bags will provide you with the best price-quality ratio.
As mentioned, last year’s reviews generated a ton of data. The data specifically relevant for our 2022/2023 golf stand bags baseline is:
- Average RRSP: $264.47 ($36.81 increase 2021/22)
- Average weight: 4.96 lbs (.13Kg increase 2021/22)
- Average no. of pockets: 7.17 (.21 increase 2021/22)
- Average no. of colors: 5.61 (.46 increase 2021/22)
This gives you a quick view on how your bag relates to the alternatives on the market. It is interesting that actually all statistical measures increased for the 2022/23 period. Keep in mind there are additional features and characteristics that are included in the final scoring and ranking. No changes have been made for 2022/2023 sub-category rankings lists as far as we limiting our top 3 positions. As new products come to market of course the list may change so you might want to check back in from time to time. And like last year we will maintain a master list to include all of the top bags we review (Best bags of 2022/2023)
Our 2022/23 subcategory rankings list lineup is as follows:

BIG MAX Dri Lite Seven Ultra Light Stand Bag
BIG MAX Dri Lite Seven Ultra Light Stand Bag’s 75.61% score is the highest scored bag in 2022/23 that we got our hands on. Only the Seven Ultra’s 4 bag pockets scored below the market segment averages. Given their sizes and design we felt was not an issue here and space should not be an issue. Instead all other aspects such as price, where the bag was 30%+ better than the average, exceeded market averages. Its weight being .5 lbs better than the fields average. I have used a BIG MAX push cart bag for the last few seasons and as far a a bag manufacturer I can say I have seen few better.
