So, I always ride, but know once the cold weather sits in and I can't rent a cart, there will be days I need ot get out there and walk.

I love the looks and style of the Mizuno GTX and Titleist X86, but have been looking at those Sun Mountain 3 pounders with only two slots. My ?...with say minmal clubs and baggage, woudl the 1.5 pd heavier ones I like be that much more? I have all sorts of health problems, but am young. I know my loaded bag now would kill me! I'll likely take maybe 10 clubs when I walk.

If health is a concern, have you thought about a cart to walk with? If not, I would say take a look. Also if your set on walking, make sure your new bag has a backpack feature to hold bag over both shoulders.

You can get a cheap push cart on tgw.com. It's the Hippo brand one. It's only $30 and you won't have to carry your bag at all.

Thanks guys, I've used the push carts before and they just aren't for me as they stress the old arms more than slinging it on the back.
The ones I "want" are around 5pds. I guess. Now if I could get by with only ever needing one ball!

I use a larger stand bag and its really not that bad. The course i play is long too(6650 yds).

I just switch shoulders often rotating in the double straps.

I just bought a Titleist X86 stand bag and think it is awesome. The strap system is great. It weighs just a bit over 4 lbs. and has plenty of storage. The bag is easy to carry and stand system works well.

I highly recommend the Titleist X86 stand bag!

Speaking of lightweight bags, has anyone tired the Titleist X81 Sunday Stand Bag of X80 Carry bag? I'm looking for a smaller bag just because it makes it easier to store in my dorm room at school, and this is the one I like most so far. Anyone out there have any input on either of these or other similar bags?

I walk a lot and would agree that a cart is the way to go... they really are a lot easier on the body than any carry bag, and I can take more stuff. You really have to spend the money on a good one though, as the $30 pull style ones just don't cut it.

if your dead set on carrying over a push cart... Ogio makes some of the best bags around.

Push cart or a remote control cart will both work for you. If you want to carry, I agree with you regarding only carrying 8 - 10 clubs.

To your good health!

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
    • I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
