HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA. – Dec. 1, 2004 – West Coast Trends, Inc., makers of the Club Glove, the Number One travel bag on all Tours, have announced that it developed and released to market a traditionally styled, and highly functional Hybrid Tour Bag, utilizing unique patented technology to allow the user to seamlessly customize and substitute the bag’s belly and side panels. These three panels are the bag’s most prominent banner locations.

The Club Glove Hybrid Tour Bags and individual panels are available with beautiful custom embroidery. This unique new feature allows touring professionals, golf shops and consumers to add a unique personalized touch of class to their Hybrid Tour Bag by customizing them with name and logo. Additional panels are available in a wide variety of colors.

“We used interchangeable panels on the Ryder Cup staff bags for the USA team,” says Jeff Herold, President, West Coast Trends. “They were a huge success. We were easily able to change the look of the bags by just zipping in new side and belly panels each day.”

The Hybrid Tour Bag is available in a variety of colors and is made with luxurious buffalo vinyl for a rich, elegant looking bag. This gorgeous bag offers a mix of tradition and contemporary design, featuring clean, smooth lines and matching piping.

As with all Club Glove products, the Hybrid Tour Bag carries the same tremendous functionality that runs in the family. Ten of its twelve pockets are easily accessible when placed on a cart facing the golfer. Included are two fur-lined, three hide-away, and one auxiliary pocket that expands to accommodate any extra gear. The trim and piping on the bag are made of Techno, a synthetic material that provides a rich, modern appearance with exceptional durability.

It features two riveted cart belt loops for unmatched stability as you tour the golf course. The 9.5-inch top and full-length dividers provide excellent shaft protection. The bag comes with a 2-year warranty, upgradeable to five years. They are available in Black, Navy, Red, Yellow and White with various options for color panels.

The suggested retail price ranges from $250.00 - $500.00 depending on the level of personalization.
