I actually carry quite a bit to keep my golf expenses down and decided to invest in a lightweight carry bag this year. The Ogio Grom is a bit heavier than I'd like (I also tend to overload it with stuff). Right now the two bags I'm looking at are the Ping 4 Under and the Sun Mountain Three 5. Looked at both at the local GG and they seemed pretty similar overall. Major differences were the club separators and the strap system. Can anyone that has tried theses bags comment on any positives or negatives with either?

i prefer the looks, colors and the fabric of the pings over the sunmountain/titleist bags. With both bags you are going to have clubs stick on the bottom so dont even consider comments about people saying the clubs stick because both will.

I'm a huge fan of the old classic Ping Hoofer and L8+ bags but all of their newer ones just aggravate me with "fancy" oddly padded, self retracting straps. That's why EVERY high school and College team used to use them. No fancy frills.

No good recommendation though. Sorry, I'm sticking with my 14 year old Ping Hoofer.

Titleist 905R 9.5°, Grapite Design YS-6+ (S)
Callaway Warbird 4 wood, Grafalloy ProLaunch 65S

I went from my Sun Mtn. 3.5 lite to the swiftX by Sun Mtn. and couldn't be happier. It was 99 bux b/c they were on close out. Its got a bigger diameter so I can use my other set of clubs that have mid sized grips w/o any problems.

    • Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.  
    • 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.       
    • 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?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
