I just took up the game again and am buying all new equipment. For now, I can only afford one golf bag. Like every other equipment choice, I'm a little overwhelmed by the variety available and need some help.

I assume I should buy a stand bag, as I'll be riding and walking about equally. I would like to spend under $100, unless I can't get a good bag for that cheap.

All of the following bags are less than $100 and all look good to me--I really have no basis for comparison, so I thought I'd ask you guys' opinions. Thanks.

Ogio Ozone - $100
Ogio Vaporlite - $80
Callaway XTT Xtra Lite - $90
TaylorMade Corza - $80
Mizuno GTX - $90
Sun Mountain Superlight - $90

In my Grom:

Launcher 9.0 and 3W. Fujikura Hit-on-M Red X-Stiff
'09 Burners 3-AW. KBS +1" Stiff. 1x hard-stepped
A7 2H. UST ProForce Axiv Stiff 56.08 SW Stainless. G5i Putter. TP Burner LDP or Bridgestone e6+.

I like the Ogio's. You should also look at the "Ogio Grom" Hop on Ebay, there are some Ogio Groms with around 30mins to an hour left that are at about 80 bucks ATM.

If you have access to Costco, the ones in my town have been selling a decent Callaway stand bag for $90.

I actually bought this bag and I really like it.

I don't know how it could get much better than this bag, but then I don't really have a lot of experience with golf bags.

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. I put in the minimum bid ($85) on an Ogio Grom on Ebay, not expecting to win it...but I did and feel like I got a really good deal.

Now I just need some clubs to put in the bag!

Launcher 9.0 and 3W. Fujikura Hit-on-M Red X-Stiff
'09 Burners 3-AW. KBS +1" Stiff. 1x hard-stepped
A7 2H. UST ProForce Axiv Stiff 56.08 SW Stainless. G5i Putter. TP Burner LDP or Bridgestone e6+.

Gratz man that is a great deal you got there. Also, be careful about buying clubs off of Ebay. Just a lot of fake ones sold on there. No need to worry about bags though.

I just got the TM Corza off of the clearance rack at Sports Authority for $60. Anybody else in the Charleston SC area there are a couple more. The only problem I have is the way the slots line up. I only carry 12 and I haven't figured out what to do with the three slots running vertically on the left side.

    • Day 34 (14 Dec 25) - Got outside for a few moments to work on bump and runs with the 4h (again using the exaggerated weight shift reminder of the left (lead) heel). Finding that it helps keep the downswing arc extended.

    • I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
