Hitting the links in style

Women see spring as a chance to buy--and wear--the newest styles in clothing; men, too, treat the season as a coming-out party of sorts, but they're more interested in showing off their new sports equipment. (As a member of the latter group, we plead guilty as charged.) Our latest indulgence is the NXO Revolver Cart Bag from The Bag Boy Company, a division of Dynamic Brands, the parent company of, among others, AMF Golf. A first-of-its-kind golf bag, the NXO features an innovative revolving top design that, combined with Bag Boy's patented Grip-Lok Technology, offers easy access to each club in the bag, while protecting clubs and shafts from banging together.

The NXO's revolving top design--whereby the entire center tube component of the bag rotates 360[degrees]--features a raised molded notch that allows golfers to twist the bag's inner storage compartment easily for quick access to each club. Grip-Lok Technology, meanwhile, incorporates 14 individual club sleeves, complemented by a new Shaft Lock System designed to lock clubs securely in place from the top of the bag to the bottom. This keeps club heads and shafts apart whether the bag is carried, pushed on a walking cart, or transported via gas cart. In fact, even turned upside down, the bag will not release the clubs.

It also includes two cooler pockets, an oversized easy access ball pocket, expandable side apparel pockets, and a fur-lined valuables pocket. In addition, it comes with two convenient putter clips and a Strap-Lok, which prevents the bag from twisting when on a walking or riding cart.

The NXO Revolver ($225) is available in solid black, red, royal blue, and graphite and includes a rain hood and umbrella sleeve. To learn more, log on to www.bagboycompany.com.
