Hi All,

I recently received a 2015 Sun Mountain Three Five golf bag for my birthday. It is a great, light weight bag, but after carrying it yesterday I discovered a bit of an issue that became more annoying as the round progressed.

The handle of the Three Five that I use to set it down and pick it up (like loading and unloading from my car) is very sturdy due to a plastic-like reinforcement that is stitched over-top of the fabric of the handle. It looks great and works great, but here is my issue. It is too sturdy. It prods into my back when I carry the bag. No matter how much I adjust the straps either on the shoulders or the straps connected from the bag to the dual strap system, I can't get it to lie against my back so that the handle is not sticking into my back.

If the handle was just fabric, then it wouldn't be an issue, but this reinforcement they added really is a nuisance. By the end of the round I had a mark on my back where it was constantly prodding me.

I contacted Sun Mountain and am looking forward to their reply, but does anyone here have any suggestions? I realize this is a very specific thing, but maybe I'm not the first to have an issue with a bag like this?

Thank you!

I have a 2013 SM 3.5 and comfort is not an issue. With clubs, the top hangs beyond my right side. But then, I am fairly lanky in the upper body.

Yeah, this reinforced handle seems to be specific to the 2015 bags. I'm 6'5" so I thought my above average height may have made adjusting it properly a bit trickier, but that doesn't really seem to be the case.

    • Best drive I've ever hit: I will not be answering any questions about the rest of the hole. Or the round, for that matter.
    • I tried hybrids way back when TaylorMade introduced the copper orange Firesole Rescue, the clubhead having been made of titanium which was still relatively new even in drivers back then. I couldn't hit it well at all, and while the success of hybrids suggests that the modern ones must be quite good,  I'm perfectly happy with the 5, 7, and 9-woods.  Early ones of mine were Top Flite Intimidator 400s made by Spalding... and also made of titanium, now that I think of it.  I still have them in my basement. I do bag a driving iron, but it's a one-trick-pony that never sees fairway use.    
    • The last time I played Maxfli balls, Dunlop was still making them. How long ago was that? Mostly, though, I used to play Top Flites (original 336 dimple model) when Spalding was still making them. Now I play the Pro V1x. Last time that I ordered some, Titleist was still making them. Let's see how long that lasts.
    • Once, on a course in Middleton, Massachusetts that I used to love but has since closed down,  I hit the wrong half of a huge, UK style double green.  Then I made the hundred foot putt.  Tough to  forget that one.
