Travel Cover

[dipgolf]

I couldn't sleep so I decided to look on the net for a good travel cover to safely get my clubs home for Thanksgiving. I would really like Club Glove's Last Bag but the price is the same as that of the hybrid I desperately need instead. Also, I'm a college student and you know how most of us are with regards to spending money . I found this one on eBay and will probably put a bid in later today.

What do you guys and gals recommend?

(Delete this thread if it has already been discussed. I did some searching here on the forum to see if there was already a thread dedicated to the subject but I couldn't find one.)

I guess you're flying, then?

Put it this way, then: a broken driver will cost you more than a new hybrid...

Ebay is the way I go when I need to get things when I don't need something new.

I picked up the

Ogio Strait Jacket Travel Bag from Golf Gods and its really nice. It's priced well and withstood the rigors of Delta Airlines to and from North Carolina just a few short weeks ago. I'd advocate getting Club Glove's stiff arm to protect the clubs in the soft case. Another two cents for ya.

Dang I missed this one.

would you guys recommend a hard or soft case for airline travel?

Hard is best (safest), but typically more expensive and won't fit in the back of your car as easily as a soft cover will...

I just picked up a Club Glove Burst Proof bag (with wheels) to replace my old (6 years) Ogio travel bag that finally died of a broken zipper. It did a great job protecting my clubs on my trip to Orlando and back. My only complaint is that it is a pretty snug fit, even for a smallish stand bag. I can't imagine a driver longer than 46" would fit into this bag.

Also, there's room for a couple pairs of shoes, but not much else. With my old, bigger Ogio bag I could jam all my dirty laundry in at the end of the trip (extra padding for clubs, lighter suitcase to lug). The Burst Proof doesn't have much room for laundry.

I wish I'd followed Jeff's lead and gotten the Straight Jacket. It's the size I wanted. But the Burst Proof will do a good job protecting my clubs, and that's what it's meant to do. The Burst Proof with wheels goes for about $150, though it's only $80-ish if you go for the wheel-free model.

On the Golf Channel they had coverage of the PGA Merchandise Show and some company has telescoping collabsable hard bags. Really cool looking but of course there was no way to tell how sturdy they truly are. Great concept though.

edit - This was in response to iacas/Eric's message about hard cases not fitting in cars.

edit again - Ah! This is it I think:

FWIW, I meant hard cases not fitting in cars when they have clubs in them. They're usually larger than the soft cases and some trunks barely fit the soft ones.

I am looking to get a new travel bag. My last one is a travel cover.
On my last trip my driver showed up in two pieces.
What do you guys use/recomend ?

I know hard case is the ultimate but it would be hard to travel with two of these and get them into a rental car
I am leaning towards a Club Glove Burst proof with wheels and one of those extender sticks.
Any words of advice ?

There is another thread talking about this....I use the Club Glove Last Bag and a Stiff Arm . I also use a staff bag, towels, iron covers, etc when I travel. This has worked without a hitch so far

Thanks...

I searched for another thread on this topic prior to posting but came up with nothing.
Guess I'll try searching again

taking a trip to Myrtle Beach, need a travel cover. I've invested a lot of money into my bag so I am looking for a very, very sturdy and reliable cover, money isn't really an issue. Ive been looking at the Club Gloves but am curious if I should get the smaller version of the travel cover. My bag is pretty small, I'm currently carrying a Sun Mountain Mini Bag.

Would the version that fits 10.5 inch bags just be to big? Or is the larger size useful since I could stuff the bag with a bunch of t shirts and crap to further protect the bag.

I am looking far a hard case for travel and was wondering if anyone knew of which one is good and where I can find a good deal on one?

I have gone through a lot of these. Travel bags get beat up...I picked this one up recently at TGW, and really like it...Plus its only $59 bucks I believe.
