How to Test Cougar Golf Equipment

Golf equipment can be a very expensive investment. When you are shopping for new Cougar golf equipment, it is very important that you take the time to examine and test all pieces of equipment that you are considering. Testing your Cougar golf equipment will help you to ensure that it will perform to your standards on the golf course.

Testing a Cougar Golf Bag

• Open the bag and set it down on the ground. Pull each leg out of its housing. The legs should pull out and retract smoothly and without struggle.


• Examine how the bag sits when it is empty. Place various objects and clubs into the bag to ensure that the bag does not fall or tip when it is weighed down.


• Use the straps to lift and carry the bag with various amounts of weight. The straps should feel strong and secure, regardless of how much weight is in the golf bag. If the straps feel loose or flimsy, it is a sign that your Cougar golf bag is not well constructed. Place the strap of the bag over your shoulder to determine whether or not it has adequate padding to feel comfortable.


• Test the zippers. Your Cougar golf bag is designed with a number of different zippered compartments. Locate each of these zippered compartments and open and close the zippers to ensure that they slide easily.

Testing Cougar Golf Clubs

• Perform a drop test to confirm that the interior of your Cougar golf clubs are in pristine condition. It is important that you perform this test in an enclosed room with ideal acoustic conditions. A garage works well. Simply drop the club and listen to the sound that it makes as it hits the floor. Your Cougar golf club should make a solid sound upon hitting the floor. If you hear a rattle or vibrating sound, the inner structure of the club is damaged.


• Test the head of the Cougar golf club by hitting a few balls. When you hit the ball, you should hear a solid smacking sound. If you hear any vibration or reverberating sound, your club may be need to be repaired or tightened. If you hit the ball in a straight line, the ball should travel straight. If you hit the ball straight on and it turns or veers, that is a signal that there is an issue with your Cougar club.
