TaylorMade 2025 FlexTech Stand Bag Review
A Note about the latest TaylorMade FlexTech model: Throughout this post, we refer to the 2025 model year as if it were a significant upgrade from 2024. The specifications and design of the FlexTech have not changed since the 2023 model year. There are changes in colors each year with additions and deletions of color combinations for the FlexTech model.
As a buyer, the bag design and specs remain the same in 2023, 2024, and 2025. So, you can disregard the “year” and select the best color combination for your taste, knowing that you are purchasing TaylorMade’s latest design.
The 2021 model does differ from the 2023-25 model years in terms of pocket configuration and layout.
TaylorMade FlexTech 2025 Stand Bag Specifications and Features
Please have a look at our 2025 Buyer’s Guide for our preferred golf stand bag specifications. Click here.
Weight
The TaylorMade FlexTech 2025 Stand Bag weighs 4.5 pounds.
This weight sits in the sweet spot of our preferred range of weights. At 4-4.5 pounds, manufacturers can offer many features while still providing a relatively lightweight bag.
Getting Clubs In and Out of the Bag
The TaylorMade FlexTech Stand Bag has modified its top, offering a slightly elongated, four-way opening with three full-length dividers and a diameter of 8.5 inches across.
The size of the bag’s opening is on the low side of our preferred range.
That said, four-opening tops offer good club separation while offering the greatest ease of getting clubs in and out of the bag.
The greater space within sections is particularly useful if you use oversized grips. The top design easily accommodates putters and clubs with oversized grips.
Ease of Carrying the Bag
The bag has a well-padded strap system with a center pad. The straps attach to the center, and each strap can be adjusted in terms of length. The bag also features a substantial hip pad, making it more comfortable to carry.
The bag has a top rim, spine, and bottom handles for easy lifting options.
The shoulder strap system is comfortable and easy to adjust. The hip pad and three handles are what we expect with a high-quality carry bag.
Storage/Pockets
TaylorMade adjusted its pocket configuration in 2025 and currently has seven pockets, including:
- Full-length side apparel pocket
- Fleece-lined pocket for valuables
- Water bottle pocket
- Other accessory pockets
Regarding other attachment points, the bag features an umbrella holder, a Velcro glove patch, and a towel ring.
The bag features our preferred number and specialization of pockets.
Stability of the Bag
As a manufacturer, TaylorMade excels in its base and leg configurations, particularly in design and quality.
The TaylorMade FlexTech Stand Bag features a patented, hinged flex base. Also, the bag’s legs are slightly bent and hinge wider than others. This base/leg combination is sturdy and sleek, and it improves the experience when using a cart.
Upon inspecting the bag, we found the stability features to be excellent. The flex bottom and leg release were solid. In general, we are big fans of the flex bottom due to its sleek design, which makes it easier to position the bag on a cart. The stance of the legs is wide, and this increases stability.
Extras
The TaylorMade 2025 FlexTech Stand Bag has:
- Thirteen color combinations
- A rain hood
- A cart strap pass-through channel for use when a golfer is riding in a golf cart. By using the channel, the cart strap does not block any of the bag’s pockets
Value
TaylorMade’s suggested retail price is $224.99.
The $224.99 MSRP falls within the range of our recommended full-featured carry bags and offers great value at that price.

By saying that the base in “an improvement when you choose to use a cart”, is it still as competitive as the Sun Mountain range in that regard, or just as best to stick to the original PureLite range?
I’m looking for a stand/carry bag that’s lightweight and cart compatible… I’m a relative newbie to golf trying to cover all bases at least expense without too much compromise – a challenge!!
Thanks!
Definite improvement over the PureLite. Comparable to Ping (designed to be very similar). Can’t go wrong with the FlexTech, Ping or SunMountain.
But still no cart strap channel which the 4.5 and Hoofer/Hoofer lite both have.
The 2019 and 2020 FlexTech models both have a cart strap channel with the opening near the top of the bag and to the left of the full length clothing pocket.
