My wife got my an OGIO Straight Jacket travel bag cover as surprise gift for an trip we're leaving for on Saturday. It's seems like a nice bag but is soft sided and I was concerned with my driver taking the brunt of any force that it is applied to the ends.

I've seen here or there a metal pole type thing to go in the bag. I was wondering if I could just use an appropriate size and length piece of PVC in one of the club sleeves. Has anybody done this or something similar successfully?

TIA,

Ryan

In the bag:
Driver:  Burner 10.5* Stiff     ||    3 Wood:  Burner 13* Stiff     ||     Hybrids:  Slingshot 17*, 21*, 24* Utility

Irons:  MX-300 5-PW     ||     Gap & Sand Wedge:  Spin-Milled Black Nickel 52.08* / 58.08*

Putter:  VP-09 Blade 33"     ||     Ball:  Penta TP

I've traveled many times with soft travel bags and never had a problem.

It shouldnt be a big problem. Just put a fragile sticker on your bag. My uncle travels all the time with a crappy soft bag he got from a flea market and it seems to me that his clubs are all good.

I use the Club Glove Stiff Arm. It works well. It's the gold standard for touring pros and frequent golf travelers.

I've traveled all over with the Ogio Straight Jacket and Club Glove Stiff Arm with no problems. My only extra precaution is I take a large towel and use it as a wrap to bind the clubs together. Then I just load the bag into the Straight Jacket.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went back to controlling my knees. That part was getting a bit sloppy when I worked on my backswing. Right hip didn't slide or gain internal rotation. I would just rotate back and around and the left knee would be in a bad spot. Really focusing now on keeping my left knee very stable and straighter in the backswing. I can't go back to the old pattern of overturning the hips. I was returning to my old pattern to time my downswing. Turn forever.  Left knee controls both knees and hips, acting as an anchor. Feel like it straightens a bit.   Hinge sooner and faster. Not in a way that sends the hands out and flips the club over. I still noticed when the hands get to A2.5, the hands would want to flip over and flatten the club out a ton.  Still trying to figure out how to roll the forearms a bit open and not just roll the club inside a ton.  Figure out the timing to get the hands down. Still getting a bit of right elbow collapsing in the downswing because the arms are too high when I turn. Everything is happening sooner now. If the hips are controlled, the backswing is shortened. Because it is shortened I don't know when to get the hands down and I just turn because the downswing is a go.  Very slow (50%) swings are decent.
