Bag Boy Revolver Golf Bags?

[juanrjackson]

Anyone ever tried or seen of these? They don't have any at my local golf stores. The rotating top and clip-lok technology sounds pretty cool.

As a game of tradition I would highly recommend against something like this and ask that you get yourself a carry bag and walk the course like a man. Seriously, the guys in our golf club get made fun of every time one of them thinks this is a great idea and decides to bring it to the course. It's just another gimmick that some marketing person thought up while drunk or high on the golf course one day.

Sorry, but carrying a bag over 18 holes hurts my shoulder. I'm not 21 anymore. lol I normally use my Clickgear pushcart.

I have one. However, I barely use the revolving top anymore. It has plenty of pouches and storage though.

Of course golf is nicer if you walk, carry or push, those who don't ... can't.
Leezer, I sense your tongue in cheek so I started a thread for you called bag man, go have fun mocking someone who is asking for it. You can even suggest more things to complete the look.

Now to the OP question, I think everyone vacillates between the big open bag freedom and the full separation organization, the revolver seems like a mechanism waiting to fail but the little clip things will probably work forever. The clip-lok feature is available on non revolver bags. To me the revolver makes sense if your always in a cart with a buddy and have a hard time getting to some clubs. The clip-lok makes sense if you jostle your clubs to the point of causing damage. If those things are an issue then go for it. I did not think I would ever want full dividers but I carry so many clubs that I decided I need them to keep the grips from fouling each other. Bags are cheap, indulge and enjoy.

What other bags have a similar clip-lok feature? I hate hearing clubs clank together?

Do you clip in your clubs? If so, does it work well?

Like FHopper said, I got exactly the non-revolver version of the clip-lok bag. It have all the fancy features except the turning top and it is much lighter. IMO, it is much better than the revolver. I love it.

Am I assuming from your comments women, children and elderly should not play golf? Are you sure you walk the course like a man, because you sure don´t talk like one...

Highly disturbing to hear someone claiming to be a traditionalist of the game and seeing the content of his golf bag in his signature yelling quite the oppossite.

BagBoy makes great bags IMHO. I have the revolver and seldom use that feature but I do love the clip-locks on my non-traditional golf bag. I am often the first one out in the mornings at my club and love how peaceful it is without having clubs clanking and banging around while on my non-tradtional BagBoy pushcart.

BagBoy makes some nice gear that holds up well. I know two guys who are using the Revolver bags.

Both like them for riding golf. One of them chooses to use a lighter bag for
days he walks with pushcart.

[FHopper]

Dub is right, Bag Boy has made good equipment forever. I have an original cast aluminum pull cart with white tires that is as good today as the day it was bought... over 40 years ago.

Wow, I didn't realize there were so many sensitive people on ST. Let me be the first to apologize if I hurt anyone's feelings, especially to any ladies that commented on my posting in this forum.

I just bought one.
I think Golf Digest gave it a rave review and put it on their hot list.
