http://www.budgetgolf.com/Datrek-Go-Lite-14-Stand-Bag.html?sku=781222330754 I'm looking to get a new bag for this year, as my Wal-Mart bag will no longer suffice... I've been looking into bags with 14-way tops, (Ogio Grom, Sun Mountain Four-5, et al)... I really don't want to pay $250 for a new bag... So I found this Datrek Go-Lite 14 bag on budgetgolf for $70... Has anyone had any experience with this bag and/or brand? Is this gonna fall apart on me in two years and I'll need a new bag all over again... I typically walk when I play, but I like the idea that it is a hybrid bag (plus I'm getting a push-cart but that is a different thread entirely)

I have a DaTrek.  It's light, compact and sturdy.  Mine only has two zippered pockets, kind of sparse, but compact.

When you buy a walking cart make sure to have your bag with you.  Many carts don't hold bags with stands very well.  Mine holds a bag with a stand well, it's a Caddytek.

I've never owned one, but the small golf store that I go to sells them and thinks very highly of them.  The owners feel they give you a lot of value for the money and they will hold up almost as long as the better name bags.

The only thing that I didn't like about the Datrek bags I looked at in the store is that the 14 way divider is only at the top, it's not a full sleeve like the more expensive bags so the clubs can rub and get entangled below the divider.

Worth a gamble for $70, I'd say.  I've gone through several stand bags that didn't hold up well.  Usually the legs give out first.  Just bought a Nike Air Sport today because I had $125 in gift cards to redeem at Sports Authority.  If you buy the bag, write a review.  I'd like to know for future reference.

Actually saw these at my local PGA Superstore today. They seem nice and worth the $70 online price (store price was $130).  Like the full-length 14-way dividers.  Double shoulder strap seemed very basic though.  Leg system is comparable to other stand bags. Decent amount/size pockets.

The nicest 14-divider bag that I saw today was the Sun Mountain Four 5.  I would never spend $230 for that bag though, knowing very well that something will break right after the warranty expires, given my experience with stand bags.

I've had my Datrek lite rider cart bag for two years. I bought black but I wish I bought Seahawks colors. ;-) It has 14 dividers that go all the way down and you can get it for $159. Several zippered compartments.

    • Hit my tee shot just into the penalty area and barely found it. Swung hard just in case I hit it. It was slightly downhill with a heavy tailwind. I don't actually hit my 9i 170 yards.
    • Right. The difference between being 120 out and 70 out for me (this is the important part) is negligible and not worth putting other risks into play off the tee.   Ok the argument against driver is that my shot cone is comically large. It puts every possible outcome into play. You can't see the green from the tee so there's a good chance I'd have to wait for it to clear which would slow down play. That's the third tee right in the middle of the firing range there. I really don't want to wait just to hit a terrible shot and I especially don't want to injure somebody. Yea I have no problem playing out of the rough short of the bunker if I'm just going to lay up short of the bunker, but I absolutely need to avoid flaring it right into the penalty area if I'm going to be laying up in the first place. As a general strategy I understand where you're coming from. But since we're specifically talking about me (this is a shot I'm going to have to hit on Saturday), I think the cost is fairly marginal. I hit the ball 8' closer on average from 50-100 than I do from 100-150 from the fairway and rough and the green success % difference is 4%. Bunker might as well be a penalty drop. Based on the data,  Here's my SG:A data compared to a 10: I honestly don't know how to use SG for decision making. That's why I was mostly looking at proximity to hole and green success rate for comparison. I mostly use SG as a way to track my progress. All good. Like I said, I appreciate the discussion. It makes me think. If I didn't want to see alternative/opposing viewpoints to my own I just wouldn't post anything. You should post it! In your own swing thread, of course. It's been a fun exercise.
    • Played my first 2024 round at Pierce Lake. Boomed my first drive down #10 fairway, then slowly slipped into mediocrity. 83 (69.6/131). The high point was going 2 of 4 on sand saves. My sand game is pretty marginal but today I must have discovered the secret for a couple hours.
    • day 34. Technique practice. Became too quick and outcome oriented. need to slow down and work on technique again. 
    • Day 534, April 18, 2024 Practice before lessons today. Priority piece. No sim this time. 🙂
