Sun Mountain makes excellent bags, without having to pay the UA markup.

There are online stores where one can pick up last year’s Sun Mountain bags at a discount.

Forget about the dividers the over inflated price is a no-go for me right off the bat. Ping always had the best carry bags in the past and still do I think. They are not cheap but nowhere near these. Nike got out of equipment business don’t know why UA is starting

Never liked Under Armous ridiculously large logo on everything they brand. I get the branding, but the way they go about it, seems louds and obnoxious. I stopped buying their gear because of it. That and well, at least their shoes are complete junk.

add in tax and we’re at $300 for bags now…this bag would cost more than my irons that would go in them

Stick to clothing. UA is about value and going upmarket could really hurt you.

It’s a strange thing the 14 way divider. For whatever reason there does seem to be an inverse relationship to handicap. I play with many different people each year with whom I haven’t played before. I have never played with one that was a single digit and had a 14 way divider bag. Found similar experiences from those I play with regularly. Better players seem to enjoy walking much more, and one wouldn’t walk with a 14-way divider bag, nor expect a caddy to haul it around. I have no doubt there are good players with them, but it seems interesting. I really can’t understand why people have such issues with grips. Unless they’re sticky Winn grips or something. Another thing I haven’t seen on a single digit. . . Except JohnDaly.

  I have a 14 divider cart bag playing to a 3 handicap? And I love to walk, I just so happen to use a push cart instead of carrying it. That bag easily comes in at 60lbs with all the crap I have packed in it.

I agree I like having a 14 way bag as well. What does a bag have to do with your handicap anyway? I find my club in 1.4 seconds

  No problem. Have a 14 way bag. Just don’t expect it to be the lightweight, easy to carry model. Again, it’s not like it affects your game…

  You’re perhaps too hung up on club dividers. The 4 way divider helps to provide the lightness to an easy-to-carry bag. My lightweight Titleist bag with only 4 dividers allows me to shoot to a sub 3 handicap… and I can always find my desired club within 1.7 seconds. Why do you need 14 dividers?

    Not too hung up. For those of us with mid-size grips, 4-ways are terrible for tangle.

      My 4 way is good for about 3 inches then all the clubs and grips mingle in the bottom of the bag. Wonderful diversity with the driver grips hanging with the putter grips. Putter grips matter. Do you use those tubes for your mid-size grips?

      Sorry… my bad. I shouldn’t have referred to a handicap. I was just trying to get the point across that a 4 way bag won’t affect your scoring ability.

    4 way or 14 way personally I don’t think is a big deal especially if each 4 way divider runs down throughout the bag separating each section.
    
    Also it seems a 14 way divider would let each iron swing freely when walking or riding causing extra bag chatter (honestly no idea if that’s the case, just a thought). My titleist bag has a 6 way divider and have 0 trouble with clubs getting intertwined, but each section is sectioned off to prevent that.
    
    Anyways, personally haven’t been overwhelmed by the new shoes or bags released so far lately. Maybe they’ll have different color ways that might look a bit better, JMHO.

Interesting clubs at top of bag – GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, users are talking about top of bag setups that are non-traditional or thought-provoking in some way. Original poster @SuperSpurs106 inquired about other members who might use unorthodox set-ups to help with gapping issues or weak spots.

They wrote:

“I currently have a PING G430 driver, TM Qi35 3W and a TM Qi4D 7W. Driver and 7W are fine but can’t get on with my 3W and have always struggling with this club over the years. Thinking of adding a 2H which I know would look odd. Just wondering if anyone else had a weird set up at the top of their bag?”

Our members in the forum have offered up their thoughts and personal experiences with non-traditional top of bag set-ups, and their reasoning for thinking outside of the box to begin with. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

BowMain42: “Don’t worry about what “looks” odd. If the club does what you need it to do, it’s the right club.”
scooterhd2: “I cant hit 3 woods either. Thats why I roll with a unicorn XL Hibore 2 wood. 400 cc head at 16 degrees of loft and its just a monster 3 wood off the tee. Off the deck, we are playing the f6 baffler. 5 wood at 41.75 inches and its easy to control.”
phizzy30: “I had driver, 3 metal, 2/4 hybrid once upon a time as a higher ss player. 4 hybrid is gone and in place is a driving iron nowadays. I don’t think what you’re proposing is weird in anyway, however the yardage gap might be glaringly huge between driver and 2 hybrid. What is it about your 3 metal that has got you all messed up? You could always go 4 metal with shorter shaft and see if that works.”

Members of the Mini Driver Club – GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, one user has gone searching for fellow users of a mini driver. In a post, @TightFade asked for other mini driver users to chime in with their weapon of choice, the reason for employing a mini, and what club follows it in the bag.

@TightFade asked:

“What mini are you playing? What spot in the bag did it take over? What’s the next club after it? For me: Elyte mini 13.5. Replacing 3w. Next up club looks like it’ll be 5w.”

Our members in the forum have been sharing their own bag setups featuring the mini driver, and the various reasons they purchased one in the first place. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

RCGA: “Ping G430 Max 12* ‘Thriver.’ Next club is a 4w and 2i (I play a weird course).”
JMB3: “R7 at 12.75 with Diamana BB 63s. 3w replacement. Next Club: Elyte Ti 5w at 17*.”
ColdOkieGolf: “R7 15.5 turned down to 13.5 It replaces the 3w. I found it surprisingly easy to hit off the deck, and it’s very rare that I need or want to hit something beyond 250 from the fairway, so next club is my 7w.”
ChaosTheory: “I’m sub-90 MPH with driver. But I’m able to hit DOD. I have been wanting something like the R7 15.5, so I just ordered one. I have a spot in the bag so nothing has to go. But I could see it replacing my trusty 4 wood, which I never use for approach shots. Just tee shots and lay ups. If I drop the 4 wood, I will turn my 7 wood down to ~20 degrees and will have good gaps. I recently tried a thriver build: 12 degree driver turned to 14, with a heavier 44 inch shaft and added head weight. I hit it great. Very accurate and not overly high, but the problem was that it sometimes went as far as a typical drive. And that’s not what I needed. So I will probably turn the 15.5 up to 16.5 or even 17.5. It’s all theoretical at this point. ?”
