Hi all.

I'm looking for a stand up style bag that is light weight, has compartments that include a drink compartment that is like a mini cooler, a compartment for my range finder, and a compartment that will hold a roll of club face tape, and balls and tees. Most importantly, I want to make sure I get one that has legs that continue to work over time. If you have recommendations I appreciate it.

I've owned Ping bags my entire golfing career (20ish years?). Usually everything else wears out before the leg mechanism fails, so I'll keep them for 5-6 years. I just replaced my last Ping bag with a Sun Mountain (Four 5, red/black) bag and I've heard nothing but great things about their quality. And from what some people tell me, Sun Mountain was the first bag to offer legs, so I suppose that's good for something eh? The Four 5 has a little bit of a cooler pouch and a bunch of pockets, including a pocket for your watch and other scratch-able stuff lined with felt.

I have had a few stand bags over the years, Callaway, Ping and Titliest.

i changed at the end of last year to a Sasquatch, has to be the best stand bag I have ever owned, not only is it great quality but has a compartment for everything you would ever need on the golf course.

The schoolteacher was taking her first golfing lesson. "Is the word spelt p-u-t or p-u-t-t?" she asked the instructor. "P-u-t-t is correct," he replied. "Put means to place a thing where you want it. Putt means merely a vain attempt to do the same thing."

i had a problem with ogio once. legs were popping out form the top of the bag sometimes. had the bag since I started playing golf. had it for almost 2 years and couldnt take the legs anymore. went over to roger dunn to get a new bag. worker asked me why i was getting a new bag and I explained it to him. he told me to bring in the bag and i could get a new one from ogio for free. shocked, I went to my car and brought it in. 3 days later, ogio gives me a new ogio grom bag. which I love!! can't complain. ogio has warrenty for a year I believe, but I had the bag for almost 2 and they still replaced it no charge. I know you want a bag which the legs always work. and that is pretty much any bag. just thought I tell my story since it relates. I will always go ogio cause it is a great golf bag. and they treated me great by giving me a new golf bag. no questions asked. yay

golf is a lot like life. the more you enjoy it, the better off you are. a3_biggrin.gif

No problems with my Titleist bag's legs. I've wanted a Ping bag but I'm weary since the couple guys I know that use their stand bags both have bent legs.

I used an Ogio for a couple of years and its legs broke up many times. Luckily I have a friend in local golf store so he got me a pair of legs a few times. (note to self: don't ever buy an Ogio) Now I have this Titleist X86 lightweight bag, which is superb. The legs feel good and it's a quality bag in every possible way.

Everyone that is giving a postive review for a Titleist bag is just supporting Sun Mountain because they make all of the Titleist bags...if you look closely they are very similar.

Anyway to the OP, I have owned quite a few stand bags over the years (all of the ones mentioned so far on this thread) and the best performing bag that I have owned is the SM Four 5...if you buy a 2011 model it will even work well when on a golf cart...good luck with whatever you decide.

My Ping Hoofer is probably 10 - 12 years old. Bag is still flawless. Legs work perfectly. I keep wanting to replace it with a Titleist or Sun Mountain. I just can't get myself to spend money that is not necessary since the current bag works just fine.

I have a Sun Mountain MPB and love it.  It has all the compartments I need along with a cooler compartment.  The legs work flawlessly and you have the option of zipping them up of you choose to use a cart.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
