I'm looking to buy a new travel cover. I think I prefer a soft cover, and have been looking at the OGIO Straight jacket. Can anyone share their experience with the straight jacket or maybe recommend another travel cover?

Thanks

I bought mine this winter at half price from TGW, last years model, used it once Minnesota to Pheonix and back. Worked great, well made, plenty of room for extras, wheels easily protected my clubs just fine with addition of a PVC pipe (and bubble wrap around clubheads) to protect driver shaft. My clubs, Ogio carry bag, pair of shoes, dozen balls, and towels put the total near the airline weight limit so you can't use all the available space anyway. When shopping I found nothing comparable but I paid half price and my local stores had very poor selection of travel bags.

Big fan of my SKB. Three trips so far and I can tell the case has not been treated well. Throw in a straight arm and wrap the heads to prevent rattling and presto! No worries!

I absolutely love my bag. Its a hard shell that you take the top off and can use it as your bag. I get compliments on it at every airport I have ever been. I was so afraid of getting a soft bag because I thought at any time a suitcase could fall on it and break something.

I saw the reviews for the clubglider, but I don't see myself dropping that much money on my crappy clubs, especially since I'm only going to be using it maybe once a year. That said, it does look like a great product.

    • I did not realize that, I was thinking a more traditional golf club.  
    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
