Golf Bags

Sun Mountain makes such great bags (Superlight 3.5) that Titleist contracts them to make theirs (10-20$ more - just for the Titleist stamp)

Here is my review of the Ogio Vision SS with the shling strap system.

Woode dividers, definitely one of the best, if not the best. Soft velvet. Woods on the left, stacked. putter well on top, then 3 dividers for irons. The irons dividers have ridges on it to help keep the irons in place. When I am walking, the clubs do stay in place and rotate, rather than shuffling side to side like in other bags. I like the 3 dividers, I organize them according to long irons, mid irons and short irons/wedge.


Shling system - It works for me. I guess this is one feature that could make or break the deal.
I think the strap hinges are particularly well placed, very balanced.

I like there are only 2 hinge point from the straps to the bag(like a messenger bag), versus most normal bags have 4 hinge points, like a back pack. This Ogio allows you to carry the bag on your right side, rather than behind you. It gives you more room to walk through a narrow passage, like in the parking lot, the driving range, through a doorway. On the course, you don't see the benefit. But you will really appreciate it the first time you swing it away to walk through a door. http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4ITQQwdQ2A


The legs - are good, but I've seen better. Such as TM R7stand bag, Ogio's Edge or SunMt MPB

Function - Attention to detail is great. There is one pocket for wet stuff, one for valuable stuff, ball dispenser, tee holder, drink holder, pen holder, zipperless ball pocket is pretty cool, quick and easy. The valuable pocket lining is not that soft, but is ok. A cell phone holder, uh inside the wet garment pocket, doesn't make much sense. But whatever, I keep my cell phone in the valuable pocket, which is also waterproof, with zipper similar to the ones you see on a Spyder ski jacket. The cart strap looks heavy duty, but I haven't use it yet.

Overall, I like it very much for what I use it for. I think the size, balance and weight is perfect for a high end stand bag.

Best of all, I found it for sale at a TJ Maxx for $90. And just to remember that when introduced, it was priced at $230, which I am sure everyone would agree that it is overpriced. Some sites are selling for $169 now.
