Ogio's new bag of tricks

Schling system.

Look out soon for a new bag of tricks from Ogio - appropriately called 'The Trick' and featuring the latest 'Schling' carrying strap.

Ogio are real innovators when it comes to golf bags and having invented the dual strap adopted by most club golfers - and many Tour caddies - have now come up with a carry system they claim will revolutionise the efficiency and weight distribution of toting your equipment around the course.

Ogio company president Mike Pratt says it eliminates the fumbling and discomfort of the two-strap system. Well hooray, because as a left-handed person who plays golf right-handed I have never got to grips with two straps.

Says Pratt: "A lot of golfers who have two straps use only one because they don't want to climb into the second one. Schling stops that.

"When you bring it up on your right shoulder it automatically goes around your left one," he says. "There's no strap on the left side and your arms have complete freedom and the weight of the bag rest gently across the shoulders."

He also claims the Schling system gives the impression of a lighter bag. No need to lean forward; therefore less fatigue. Pratt also believes the Schling system could be equally efficient on luggage and grip bags.

The Trick bag is loaded with other features, including a 9-inch wide, graphite-friendly 'Woode' top, a hidden trunk handle, full-length, three-way dividers and neoprene 'ball silo.' It weighs less than 6lbs, is available in black and silver and costs £159.95.
