Titleist Ultra Lightweight Stand Bag Review

Product Update

Titleist discontinued the “Titleist Ultra Lightweight Stand Bag” when it completely updated its line of stand bags with the Players 4 Series. 

We have recently reviewed the full line of Titleist stand bags, and the Player 4 stands out as our top pick, having a great balance between weight, features, and price.  Click here to check out our review of the Player 4 Stand Bag.

Original (lightly edited) Titleist Ultra Lightweight Stand Bag Review

If you can find one, the Titleist Ultra Lightweight Stand Bag is still a solid choice for folks looking for a simple, no-frills bag.

Weight

The Titleist Ultra Lightweight Stand Bag weighs 4.9 pounds, not including the shoulder straps and rainhood.

This weight, including the shoulder straps, makes the Ultra Lightweight bag one of the lightest among our recommended models.

Editor’s note: Back in 2017, when this review was written, this bag would have been considered relatively light.  In 2023, we would consider it rather heavy.  Our current favorite Titleist stand bag, the Player 4, comes in at 3.8 pounds, and they have one other stand bag in their lineup that comes in even lighter — the Titleist Player 4 Carbon.

Getting Clubs In and Out of the Bag

The bag has a three-way opening with two full-length dividers.  The top opening measurement is 9” x 8”.

The opening of the bag is smaller than our preferred size range. Ideally, clubs would be separated in the top opening with additional full-length dividers.  We prefer between 4 – 7 openings at the top.

With so few padded dividers taking up space, the top design easily accommodates putters and clubs with oversized grips.

Ease of Carrying the Bag

When introduced, the bag had a 4-point adjustable backpack-style strap system with the padded shoulder straps joining together in a small center back pad.

The bag has a cushioned, generously-sized hip pad. The bag has a top rim, spine, and bottom handles for easy lifting options.

The strap system, hip pad, and grasping handles meet our expectations. 

Storage/Pockets

The Titleist Ultra Lightweight Stand Bag has six pockets (5 zippered), including:

• Full-length apparel pocket
• Velour-lined valuables pocket
• Insulated beverage pocket
• Ball and accessory pockets

Regarding other attachment points, the bag has an umbrella sleeve, pen holder, and towel loop.

At six pockets, the bag is slightly below the low end of our preferred number and specialization of pockets. That said, the layout and size of the storage areas are good.

Stability of the Bag

This Titleist model has integrated the stand mechanism into the top cuff to provide a solid connection when the legs are engaged. The bag legs are 24 inches long with a 24-inch spread between the feet.  The bag has slightly enlarged feet to reduce sinking and slippage.

The stability features of the bag meet our expectations.

Extras

The Titleist Ultra Lightweight Stand Bag has:

• A rainhood
• A cart friendly base
• Ten color combinations were initially available.

Value

Titleist’s suggested retail price is $160 and is at the low end of our recommended bags.  This low price could be attributed to the limited features of the bag.  When available, these bags have recently been significantly discounted to the original MSRP.

The MSRP is in the low range of our recommended full-featured carry bags. The Ultra Lightweight Stand Bag is a minimalist, light, well laid out stand bag carrying the Titleist name.

As mentioned at the beginning of this post, Titleist discontinued the Ultra Lightweight Stand Bag when it completely updated its line of stand bags with the Players 4 Series.
