When it comes to walking the course, a golf bag’s strap system can make or break your round. Even the most lightweight bag can feel heavy if the straps don’t distribute weight evenly across your shoulders and back. On the other hand, a well-designed strap system transforms your walk providing balance, stability, and comfort for all 18 holes.

Here’s a breakdown of the strap systems and the bags they pair with so you can decide which is best for your game.

At VESSEL, every golf bag is engineered with premium materials and thoughtful design details, and the strap systems are no exception. From the Equilibrium Double Strap to convertible single-strap designs, VESSEL has developed strap technologies to meet the needs of every type of golfer.

Equilibrium 2.0 Double Strap System

The Equilibrium 2.0 Double Strap is VESSEL’s most advanced and widely used strap system. It self-adjusts as you move, keeping weight evenly distributed across both shoulders for unmatched comfort. The design is built around a rotating four-point swivel mechanism, which allows the straps to move naturally with your body stride.

  • Player V & Player V Pro Stand Bags

  • Lux Stand Bag

  • Lux Air Stand Bag

  • Lux Looper Stand Bag 

  • Sunday III Stand Bag


Best for: Walkers who play full rounds and want maximum comfort and balance.

Single Strap (Traditional Carry)

For players who prefer a minimalist approach, VESSEL also offers the option of a classic single strap. This design makes it easy to grab-and-go while still being padded and ergonomic for comfort.

  • Sunday III Stand Bag 

  • Lux Looper Stand Bag 


Best for: Golfers who walk light, carry fewer clubs, or want the clean look and feel of a Sunday-style bag.

Why VESSEL Strap Systems Stand Out

  • Self-adjusting balance: The Equilibrium 2.0 straps rotate naturally with your stride to reduce strain.

  • Premium padding: Straps are cushioned with high-density foam for lasting comfort.

  • Ergonomic design: Whether single or double, every system is engineered for posture support.

  • Customization: Convertible options give you the freedom to carry how you prefer.

Choosing the Best Strap System for You

Regardless of what style carry your prefer, both strap tyoes are compatible with every bag in the VESSEL stand bag line up.

If you:

  • Want to play full rounds and want all-day comfort? Go with a bag featuring the Equilibrium 2.0 Double Strap (Player V, Lux Stand, Lux Air).

  • Prefer simplicity and a traditional carry style? The single strap option is perfect for minimalist golfers.


No matter which you choose, VESSEL’s strap systems are designed with the same craftsmanship and performance as the bags themselves—trusted by Tour players, loved by everyday golfers, and built to make every walk better.
