Cart Bag suggestions...

Most cart bags are on the huge side, especially with 14 full-way dividers. The bag designers figure if you are going to be lugging the bag around on a cart that size isn't that big an issue -- it only has to fit in the bag space on a cart.

I have a Burton CXS hybrid bag that can be used as a stand or cart bag. It has 14 full-way dividers, is medium wight (about 6 lbs.) and has legs that lock closed and carry straps that stow away in their own pocket for cart use. No putter tube but it does have an external putter well/clip. I generally keep my putter in one of the club slots but I have used the putter clip and works ok. It's quite a good cart bag (riding or push cart) and a decent stand bag.

Some of the guys I play with regularly have huge, meaning wide, bags that really do not fit on a cart together. If they do, you can't get to the inside pockets because it is too tight. I was trying to avoid that. I haven't seen any Sun Mountains in person. How is the SCB or SCB Deluxe in comparison to the C-130?

Looked at these and did not like them, also they do not have a putter tube as you mentioned.

If you read the post, I said I already have one and do use it when I walk. But when playing in tournaments or going on golf trips where I play 36/day there is no walking.

Looked at this one, but I don't like the clips. There is nothing to protect the putter.

I really like the looks and features of the c-130, especially how it is configured for specificallt for a cart. I know it is big, but the design is great. It is bigger than what I really want, but I think that is the one thing that I am willing to sacrifice in order to have the 14 full length dividers and putter well. Thanks for your suggestion. I think I found a local pro shop that carries Sun Mountain. Hopefully I will get a change to check them out this weekend.

I was looking for the same thing last year. I checked out several bags over a few weeks then bought the SMS C-130 because it was an awesome looking bag with plenty of cargo space, big isolated pocket, big ball pocket, and 14 dividers with an external putting tube.

It sat in my family room for a month, with the tags on, because I kept thinking it was too big.

Then I saw the SMS SCB Deluxe (Speed Cart Bag). It was a smaller version if the C-130 in every way. I loved it so much that I bought the SMS Speed Cart V1 a week later. No regrets on either.

The SCB Deluxe works well on an electric cart too. Since the two center dividers are taller and the two outer dividers are lower (and the same height), you can rearrange your clubs to where the longer woods are always furthest from you whether you're in an electric cart or using a push cart.

The C-130 is a tight squeeze on a cart, especially if there's another monster bag on board.

Sure, two will fit, just don't plan on accessing the pockets during your round.

I'd go with the mid-sized SCB Deluxe.

No offense, but if the C-130 sat in your family room how do you know it is a tight squeeze?

I like that feature as well. I plan on heading out today to see if I can find one and check them out. Thans for the suggestions.

I know because my Team Play partner has one. We shared a cart for roughly 15 rounds this past Jan-Feb. The bags were loaded with rain gear, windshirts, etc. Why else would you want to have a bigger bag unless you planned on putting stuff in those pockets? It was tight with my SCB. It would have been frustrating if we both had C-130's.
