Staff WriterStewart Golf has never been accused of playing it safe, and today the Gloucestershire innovators have unleashed another crowd-pleaser.
The premium-trolley gurus pulled the cover off two fresh bags—the all-new NEXAS Hybrid Bag and the revamped NERO 2 Cart Bag—and, much like an under-par round on Sunday afternoon, both are already turning heads.
Why This Matters
In a market where “new” often translates to “slightly different shade of black,” Stewart Golf has tossed in a splash of genuine ingenuity.
The NEXAS is the company’s first stand-cart crossover, while the NERO 2 sprinkles practical upgrades onto a fan-favourite frame.
Golfers who split their loyalties between walking and riding—or who simply want an indestructible caddie substitute—now have a compelling reason to peek inside their gear budget one more time.
NEXAS Hybrid Bag: Stand Meets Cart, Pub Meets Bistro
The NEXAS “looks like a Tour bag that decided to train for a decathlon.” Its lowered stand mechanism settles neatly onto Stewart Golf’s own Q Follow and VERTX Remote trolleys, yet it still leans nimbly on the tee box when you shoulder it across the par-3 loop.
Stability comes courtesy of a flex-foot base system, and comfort arrives via quick-release equilibrium straps that distribute weight better than a Scottish grandmother dividing slices of Dundee cake.
Premium touches include:
Tour-grade synthetic leather with a genuine leather handle—enough luxury to make your driver feel underdressed.
14-way full-length dividers plus an oversized putter well, so no club clangs another mid-backswing.
Dual magnetic bottle holders and a magnetic rangefinder pocket—because searching for hydration or yardage is energy you could spend making birdies.
A zip-off front panel begging for personal embroidery, a cooler pocket, rain hood, and dual umbrella slots to keep you and your patience dry.
“The NEXAS Hybrid Bag is the most versatile bag we’ve ever created,” said Mark Stewart, CEO of Stewart Golf.
“Golfers no longer need to choose between a stand bag and a cart bag—NEXAS delivers the best of both, without compromise.”
NERO 2 Cart Bag: Subtle Tweaks, Serious Upgrade
If the original NERO was a Rolls-Royce Phantom, the NERO 2 is the Phantom with the starlight headliner.
The silhouette remains familiar, but Stewart Golf has stitched in creature comforts golfers begged for:
A built-in rain cover that deploys faster than a marshal’s “quiet please” paddle when clouds gather over the 14th fairway.
A 9.5-inch top with easy-lift handles that make hoisting it onto any cart—or into any trunk—feel like plucking a Pro V1 from the cup.
The same extra-large putter well found on its hybrid sibling, along with refined detailing that screams “tour truck,” not “budget aisle.”
“The NERO 2 continues our tradition of creating premium, thoughtfully designed golf bags,” Stewart added.
“With the added convenience of a built-in rain cover, golfers can be confident their equipment is protected, whatever the weather.”
First Impressions from the Fairway
I parked the NEXAS on a steep swale behind the 7th green, and it stayed put—something my previous stand bag never managed without slipping downhill like a startled goat.
The straps rest on the shoulders as if some kind-hearted caddie is taking a share of the load, and the magnetic rangefinder pocket saves a surprising amount of faff per round.
The NERO 2, meanwhile, feels purpose-built for the player who knows his local forecast about as well as his spouse’s birthday.
Pop out the integrated rain shroud at the first rumble of thunder, and your grips remain as dry as a Feherty one-liner.
What to Know Before You Buy
Compatibility – Both bags are designed to pair seamlessly with Stewart Golf’s electric trolley lineup but will fit standard push carts and buggies just fine.
Weight – Expect the NEXAS to tip the scales lighter than most cart bags, heavier than most featherweight stand models: the Goldilocks zone for hybrid-curious golfers.
Price & Availability – Orders open this week on the Stewart Golf website and select retailers; shipping starts later this month.
The NEXAS Hybrid Bag will be priced at £329 UK / $429 US.
The NERO 2 Cart Bag will be priced at £299 UK / $399 US.
The Bottom Line
Stewart Golf hasn’t merely added two bags to an already crowded pro shop wall; it has nudged the conversation forward.
The NEXAS Hybrid Bag is poised to become the Swiss Army knife in many a golfer’s arsenal, while the NERO 2 doubles down on weatherproof luxury.
If you’re hunting for gear that blends practicality with a touch of Tour swagger—and you’d rather skip the compromise—the latest offerings from Stewart Golf might just earn a spot in your next four-ball.
