Just got my SKB Standard (48x12) case via FedEx yesterday and I am really excited to use it for a trip to Houston over the Labor Day weekend. It seems quite sturdy from the shell to the latches to the TSA approved lock on the middle latch. My Sun Mountain Superlight 3.5 fits very well. But despite the padding on the top inside, I will be wrapping my clubheads in either a towel or bubble wrap (if I have some sitting around).

I will post my reactions after my trip, but just wanted to see if there were any other experiences with SKB cases that I may have missed when skimming the travel bag threads on the forum. Everything I saw involved a decade-old bag still in use or some similar story, which I am quite encouraged by. This is an investment, after all.

The Mrs and I each have one of the hardsiders by sbk in the tour model which are the best investments we ever made.We fly to Myrtle all the time on Spirt and they are brutal on clubs but even they can not hurt my babies.

Do you strap the bag tight or is there a chance it might move inside the case? If it can move, I'd suggest putting in the shaft of a broom or something like that to protect the longest clubs. If the bag has no chance to move inside if you flip it upside down it's no problem, but the clubs should be stuck in the bag with a towel or something so they don't rattle.

I have an SKB golf case that I bought about 11 years ago. I used it a good bit when I was travelling with work.

I stuffed a small golf bag with all my sticks plus tons of clothes and essential for the week. This left me with only a carry-on to worry with. At the time I was flying Delta weekly and had no issues.


I've collected some big scrapes on the outside of this thing from the bag handlers, etc. I've never had any contents damaged.


The only time I use it now is when I'm driving to visit friends and family back in Eastern, NC. I can throw it in the back of my small pickup and know that my clubs are weather proofed.


I lossed the key for it...need to contact SKB for a replacement.

I doubt the bag I just one on ebay will fit in it, though.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
