Picking a hard or soft case is really a matter of personal preference and travel style. Most bags are soft cases but come with extensive padding. We prefer this, as this leaves flexibility as to what to fit in the bag while not compromising on club protection. However, some golfers prefer hard cases due to their durability. There are many hard cases on the market, so you have nothing to worry about. A hard case protects your clubs better with the impact during transportation. This style of bag is usually a little bit more expensive compare to the soft case.
