Another Bag thread.... Mizuno Aerolite lll or Ping Freestyle?

rockin johny · February 10, 2009

Looking for a new carry bag for my 15 year old daughter. I picked her up a OGIO Diva, but feel at 5.5 lbs it is a tad to heavy for her to carry for 18 holes.

I am now deciding between the Mizuno Aerolite lll and the Ping Freestyle.

The bag must be light and carry well. Must also have enough capacity to hold typical items that may be needed on a round of golf...jacket, etc. Clubs must be easy in and easy out with little cluttering.

I have heard alot of positive comments about the ping but have not seen alot of reviews ont he mizuno. Any thoughts?

ive owned 3 different models of ping hoofers and ive loved them all.

i tested out a freestyle a couple weeks ago.. they are light but im not sure their exact weight... i liked the strap design but ive grown tired of the 4 way divider...

honestly.. if you buy a new bag that weighs 4 pounds... is one pound realy gonna make a difference?

Maybe not on me and you, but on a rather petite girl that only weighs about 100 lbs soaking wet it might.

Check out the Ogio Vaporlite as well. 3.8 pounds

I've got a Titleist Sunday bag, I think they've changed the name on it for this year. It is maybe 3 pounds, holds a full set of clubs and I've taken to using it for anytime I walk, but it's sturdy enough to set on a cart if need be. My experience with young ladies, including my now 16 year old and her teammates, is that if you give them plenty of pockets, they will fill them, and lots of weight gets added if there is room for "stuff". This bag has enough room to hold rainpaints, jacket and/or sweater, but not too much room. Now they call it the ultralight stand bag, check the website.

Aerolite. My Aerolite (the original) has lasted for a few years already, has all the pockets I need, has a velcro glove holder, has a great club organizer system, and is feather weight. The Aerolite III beats the Freestyle by 1 pound, just as durable (if not more), and has a much easier to use club divider top.

5.5 lbs. will make a difference after 18 holes. Ping and Mizuno are both OK, my personal choice last year when I was looking for a new carry bag was the Titleist X-86, about 4 lbs., better storage than the Aerolite (last years), and better color selection.

Anyone with a review on the Aerolite III? It's not in •••••••••s around me but from the stock pictures it looks great, is 4 LBs and has what seems like a pretty good 7-way divider system.
