I recently bought a set of Cleveland Launcher LP (4-GW), and a Hippo XXL 3h, and now I need a new bag. I have a carry bag from my beginner's set, but it doesn't even have a stand, and the bag has fallen over. So, all in all I am looking for a good stand/carry bag (I sometimes walk the 18 holes, sometimes ride, so I need something good for both situations). The ones I was looking at include the Nike Xtreme Sport, Ogio Exo/Edge/Vaporlite/Ozone/Grom, so a lot to choose from. If anybody can give me advice on what would be best for me, I'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

sshashid87, I'd wait until September when Ping releases their Voyage and Vantage bags. Light weight, practical features, very durable. I like mine a lot.

I'll be reviewing the Schling (eventually), but the early word is this: very good. Very good... surprisingly so. Not so good if you have a thick thick neck (i.e. 280 lbs or more, maybe?).

I just recently purchased a Callaway Terra Firma X bag after playing a Ping Hoofer 3 for a few years. I'm pretty sure people either love or hate that strap system with Ping, I personally could never quite get adjusted properly so I was in the latter group. The one thing I did like about the Ping bag was how light it was, and the pockets in the bag all seemed to be in the exact right spots. One thing that was missing, I really like having the putter pit seperate from the rest of the compartments.

Ogio makes great bags as well, my wife has one and loves it, I think I heard somewhere that they make the bags for Callaway too, so I guess I've got one as well.
In My Bag:

Taylormade: Superquad 9.5 Aldila VS Proto 'By You' 70-S

I have the Nike Xtreme Sport and I love it. It's light, full of features, has a lot of pockets, and overall it looks really nice (depending on the color).

      This topic can be whatever you'd like it to be. If you're working with an instructor, you may have to mention it occasionally, but people will respect that and you can use this as a diary of sorts.

      My Swing (billchao)

      By billchao ·

      It's all good, man. I appreciate the discussion.   The hole slopes right, towards the penalty area. That's the part just past the cart path that isn't mowed. You can land a ball on the fairway that ends up in it if the ground is firm enough.  Everything that's brown in the satellite image isn't rough. It's fescue, which even during this time of year is tall enough that just finding a ball in it can be hard. Bunkers might as have red stakes around them - I read that in a book, once. So having set that table, here's what the shot cone looks like if I try to play for what you're suggesting: I just don't see that as the optimal play. I need to get out of there with no worse than 5, not try to make 3 and end up with 6 or more. It's a short hole and my strength is in my iron play. I'm actually oddly not much better from 50-100 yards than I am from 100-150 yards. It's like a 4% difference in green success rate and 8' closer in proximity. I don't see that as worth putting trouble into play off the tee for.

      Not Sure What to Put in the Bag as a 14th Club

      By StKildaSenators ·

      I actually did post a video of my swing today. Those are total distances from my Garmin watch. I don't have as good of an idea with my carry distances. I should go to a range with Trackman some day and get them recorded.
