Topic: Recommendation for carry bags

I have a Callaway bag and its great but I’d like a little more padding. I like the Titleist bags. The most comfortable bag I ever carried was a Wilson Staff bag with an Izzo swivel strap system.

i am new to golf why is it better to carry your clubs then pull or push ? is it not the same in the end? i have noticed the carry bags look better. also what is OEM? like i said i am new to golf

carrying your bag is not for everyone but i have been carrying for a few years and i genuinely enjoy it
the main thing is to only carry the minimum so only a couple of balls tees etc
dont take wet weather gear or umbrella on fine days
my bag only ways 10kgs so like going for a walk with a rucksack
you walk directly to most shots even through creek beds or hills etc , dont have to follow cart paths
helps to warm you up and you fel a bit stronger as the round goes on
get a good quality bag with good straps
worth thinking about
the OEM stands for original equipment manufacturer

I find my Ogio bag is superb.

I have one of the ‘Flight’ models, the one with their ‘Shling’ harness/yoke system and find it works really well, better than my old double-strap style of bag – but be aware it is not for everyone!

The ‘Shling’ tends to be a love it or leave it thing as a couple of mates have tried my bag to see what it is like and hated it, but it works for me! (do not remember using my cart bag and buggy since the day I bought the Ogio)

Try as many as you can and see what suits you.

if you are going to carry all the time then the issue of the cost of a decent buggy also comes into the equation
a lot of golfers who have decent cart bags spend around 200-300 for the bag plus the cost of a decent buggy say 150-300 , so they have spent around 350 to 600 for the lot
so spending around 150-250 for a good quality bag is worth considering
i carry about 80% of the time and love it ,walk a lot of straight lines ,get to my ball quicker,giving me more time to think about my shot
also believe it is doing me some good from carrying the extra weight ..about 10 kgs
i have a taylormade r7 stand bag and the only hassle has been with the strap breaking . I took it to an upholsterer who repaired it straightaway for 10.00 and made it even stronger with double sewing

I have been using a Nike Tour carry bag for about 5 years or so now….. absolutely sensational and one of the best bits of kit i have purchased.

Only issue to appear was that the stitching where the strap attaches to the bag came undone about 6 months ago but had it re-stitched by a luggage repair shop for about $15. Not a big deal as i pick the bag up by the strap so that is the bit that gets the most wear… otherwise still going strong

I have been using a BURTON bag for about 18mths and it is very good with a very comfortable strap system. Cost me $180

I agree with those that say go for a quality bag. Cheap bags will have cheap straps, and cheaps straps won’t offer the support of the more comfortable ones. Choose wisely, because remember, carrying a stand bag will drop you 5 strokes. ;-)

I bought a Mizuno WMS II not the cheapest option but it has lasted really well going 4 years now and I couldnt be happier- it doesnt owe me a thing.

I have a sun mountain bag and they’re great.

My mate and I brought our bags at the same time and he brought an Ogio bag. About 4 months into it the mechanism on the legs of the Ogio broke. He took it back to the retailer and they did a straight swap.

My Sun Mountain is up to 2 years now and no problems.

Buy a good quality bag! Don’t skimp as others may suggest.

I would argue that if you are carrying your clubs then the better quality the bag and strap system the BETTER you will score. Less fatigue and stress on your back, shoulders etc etc.
I ask the question why would you score better if your clubs were OEM? Spend your money where the greatest benefit will come. That is not always with the gear that actually does the hitting. To suggest that is showing naivety.

Try out as many as you can but make sure that you put weight in it at the store as this will test how the straps sit on ur shoulders.

I have used: Titleist, Ogio, bridgestone, Tourstage and cheap crap bags. The cheap bags last 5 seconds. The Ogio bags are worth every cent and are well made. The Titty bag was ok and lasted a fair bit. I am not sure who makes them now though. The Bridgestone and Tourstage bags are first class ordered from Japan and are quality stand bags. Yes there is a difference between the US/Aus market bags and the bags destined for the Japanese market (and you will pay more).

Anyway, that is my rant.
Don’t skimp if you can help it.

Ogio bags are well designed in terms of number and style of pockets and their easy access. I find this really handy when carrying the bag. Also the harness is comfortable and no problem over 18 even for an old bloke like me. If you don’t care buy a cheap and nasty and replace it when it falls apart or gives you a sore back.

Bottomline : if you go 4 branded ones like TM, Ping callys ogio, Izzo, etc

you will surely pay more

for unknown brands but arguablt just as good and funky
you save on $$

got 2 stand bags
1st one bought some years ago still going strong cost me at that time less than 50 bucks

another one recently incl freight via ebay called golf co. or something
costs about 70+ bucks
no problems with them

What’s the point of Big OEM ones (imho) ?
spend on Good clubs/balls instead….
bags are secondary
does it help u to score…nope

If Tiger plays Lefty will he be that good ?
You sure Square is Good ? Don’t Think So !
Good Golf is Fun plus the Great Outdoors…
In the Bag: Clubs and Balls. My Handicap is Bad Golf.

I had the $50 K-Mart quality stand bag that fell apart in a year of use. I bought an Izzo bag on sale for $85 bucks about 5 years ago and the only reason I am replacing it is because I got a free Ogio bag.

i recently bought a stand bag. i was going to buy Taylor Made but the bag didn’t have a drink holder. I bought a Callaway stand bag. Although the Taylor Made was probably a little more comfortable.
