You have quite an investment in your golfing gear and you want to make sure it is as well protected as possible when you travel. This Golf Constrictor, or golf travel bag, is manufactured by CaddyDaddy, a well-known entity in the golfing industry for the past 15 years. This bag is designed to take the abuse of baggage handlers to rattling around with the rest of the luggage in the cargo hold to keep your gear safe and secure.
Constructed of heavy duty nylon, this soft-sided case should wear like iron. Large enough, at 13 x 50 x 15 inches, all bags up to 10” cart bags should fit inside comfortably. Lightweight, it only weighs about 8 pounds, so it doesn’t add a great amount of weight to your clubs.
However, no need to worry because you don’t have to carry it. The bag comes equipped with easy rolling in-line skate wheels to keep you moving through airports and hotel lobbies so you can keep up your pace.
Once you place your golf bag inside this golf constrictor, you’ll notice the extra heavy padding at the top, 1.5 inches worth, to protect your club heads. There are also 2 cinch straps inside that will keep your golf bag secure.
With your golf bag in place, zip up the bag and you can still load up the 2 external zippered pockets. You have plenty of room for tees, balls, shoes, sunscreen, and anything else you might need. Finish packing with the 2 exterior cinch straps. If you need to carry the bag, it has handles in the middle and at either end.
All three heavy-duty exterior zippers are lockable, although TSA locks are not included; you will have to buy your own. The bag also has a molded luggage tag and business card window. And when not in use, you can collapse it for easy storage.
CaddyDaddy stands behind this product with a full, 100 percent, 1-year warranty. If the bag is damaged within one year of original ownership, the manufacturer will replace the bag at no cost. They also have a full customer service team for any questions or concerns.

Traveling can be tough on gear, and travel bags are no different. This travel bag cover is made of extra thick heavy-duty nylon. At 13 x 50 x 15 inches, you can easily fit all bags up to 10” cart bags. With 2 compression straps inside, you can tighten your load so it stays securely in place during travel. The top of the bag has 1.5 inches of heavy padding to provide extra protection for the heads of your clubs.
Once you have your golf bag secure on the inside, you will find a large zipper that closes the bag. In addition, the bag has 2 external storage pockets with zippers. All three zippers are heavy duty and lockable, although you must purchase your TSA locks separately if traveling by air. Once everything is zipped up, you can tighten the cinch straps on the outside. There are also handles in the center, and at either end should you find the need to carry your bag.
The two external pockets are roomy enough that you can pack all the extras you’ll need for the game. And don’t worry about the extra weight they’ll add, because most of the time you’ll be rolling along with this bag with its inline skate wheels; they roll easily so you’ll never notice the mere 8.5 pounds this bag adds to your gear.

FINAL VERDICT
Both the travel bags have a lot to offer. Both come with a 1-year warranty, have excellent user feedback, are extremely durable and come at a reasonable price point. I don’t think you could go wrong with either travel bag. However, on balance, I’d say that the Constrictor 2 just edges it for me. It only weighs 8 pounds, the cover is thicker at 1800D nylon material in comparison to 600D Nylon on the CDX-10. I also like the stylish design and choice of colors of the constrictor 2 including the really useful oversized pockets to put all those extra of bits 0f equipment or even your golf shoes. I’d also recommend getting this with a North Pole club protector which helps to keep the bag rigid and will prevent the bag from damage from vertical pressure.
