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.

+1 for Titleist

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.

    • Two bits. Bit 1 The NCAA's appeal of Brendan Sorsby being granted a temporary injunction will not be heard until February, so there will be nothing to prevent Sorsby from playing the full season and potential CFP.  Bit 2 The Big Ten Conference will hold a meeting and is expected to ban all of its athletic programs from playing Texas Tech in the regular season. Georgia has done the same. The SEC will meet to consider a similar ban. Fellow Big 12 members TCU and Kansas State are spearheading a similar ban, but the conference charter might not allow it. Meanwhile, Big 12 athletic directors are meeting this week to explore what options the conference might have.
    • No, but I'm also in disagreement that golfers have no thoughts over the golf ball, and/or don't ever think I've met someone I truly believe is thinking nothing but "target" or something on most shots.
    • StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry 
    • So, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech transfer QB, was found guilty of sports betting by the NCAA. He admitted to it. He placed thousands of bets over multiple years while at Indiana and Cincinnati. This included betting on his own teams.  The NCAA rules ban athletes from betting on any sport (college or pro).  A retired visiting judge from Tarrant County, Texas has put an injunction on the NCAA ruling. He is a visiting judge because the first judge was a graduate and big fan of Texas Tech, and he recused himself. The judged ruled the following... "Under Curry's order, Sorsby is permitted to play for Texas Tech's 2026 season on the condition that he continues his treatment for a gambling and anxiety disorder and serves a two-game suspension (missing games against Abilene Christian and Oregon State)."  Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care for the NCAA. That still doesn't mean that a college can choose when or where to say, "Yea we agree to these rules for all our sports, well except in this case." Here is a breakdown from S&W. The Hidden Weapon in Sorsby’s Injunction: How a Lubbock County Court Order Quietly Neutralized the NCAA’s Most Powerful Enforcement Tool - Law Offices of Snell & Wilmer By Ryan J. Regula On June 8, 2026, Lubbock County District Court Judge Ken Curry issued a temporary injunction in Brendan Sorsby v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Cause No. DC-2026-CV-0791 (99th Judicial District... The main judgement made sense. Sorsby, I am going to have all this harm done to me if I don't get to play. The Judge, I agree. The penalty for gambling is too harsh, so here are all these things you must do, and I will grant this injunction against the NCAA. Basically, an analogy would be when a person goes into court for a DUI and they agree to all these other things to not end up in jail.  What sucks for the NCAA is the NCAA has appealed to Texas’ Seventh Court of Appeals, based in Amarillo. All four justices that preside over the court are graduates of Texas Tech University School of Law. It would be hilarious if all four of them had to recuse themselves 🤣. For those who like to read legal rulings...  
    • The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.
