Hi Guys,
Going to Scotland for 9 days in May and want the lightest setup possible. We are playing 10 to 11 rounds while there.

I currently have a Titleist Lightweight Stand Bag and like it a lot. The strap system is good, but the shoulder straps aren't that comfy. Thinking the micro straps look a little wider and better.

I'd like to know if you can fit full rain gear in the Micro and the Swift.

I like the divider concept of the Micro a little better, but I've always been a big Sun Mountain fan and have had 3.5 and have a 4.5 now as well. Shoulder straps on the 4.5 are a little wider and have more cushion then the Titleist bag, but I like the weight of the Titleist bag, so I mostly use that.

Also like the idea of a Swift Zero G, or even the regular Zero G. I am a carpenter and have had back problems when using suspenders on my tool belt if I loaded too much weight on my shoulders. I have gone back to regular tool belt on my waist and back problems subsided. I also go to the Chiro once a month for a "tune up" each month. Back problems are mostly gone unless I do something dumb while working.

The Zero G's get great reviews. Thinking the Swift Zero G might really be the way to go.

Nearest golf store is 40 minutes away. Thinking of ordering off Golfsmith. Have $20 off and free shipping on orders over $100.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Mike

i carry a sun mountain swift x. sure the clubs fight for the same space sometimes but no biggie and it's worth it to me for the weight savings. plenty of pocket space for a rainsuit. have fun!

    • So, I might have to get out of the C-Taper golf shaft. I have an older Mizuno with a KBS Tour shaft in. I was messing around with closing my eyes and feeling where the weight of the club is being felt at. The C-Taper was all in my fingers. I didn't feel much of anything of the club head or shaft of the club. It felt super heavy in my hands. The KBS Tour I could feel a weight further away from my hands, out in space.  The Mizuno weights 2 grams more, but is about 2-3 swing weights lighter than my current irons.  So, yea. I am thinking I might sense the club better with maybe a less stout golf shaft and maybe a lighter swing weight. Probably more to do with the golf shaft. I am thinking the feeling of the weight out in space is more of the shaft loading more easily. 
    • Day 25 (2 Apr 26) - Worked on green side chips at the course before helping with the school golf tournament today.  Worked on low flighted spinners to get solid hop and stops.  
    • Day 227 4-2 Chest and hip turn with flow drill. Trying to get a rhythm to the hip movement/less segmented feeling. 
    • A bit back at it tonight. I just wanted to add in the feel of a softer left arm through out the backswing. This helps me hinge the club. I make sure I am not bending it a ton, but not straightening it. It helps feel like I can keep the club in front of me more and lift the club up sooner.   
    • If you make assumptions excessively favorable to Tiger that leave out the best arguments for Jack that most people would never use to evaluate greatness in other sports and didn't use to measure greatness in golf until Tiger got injured, then sure. Here is how Gemini rates both of them just in major output with a prompt to generously subsidize Tiger's record because of field strength. And also the answer to the question who had more longevity Jack or Tiger.  Hopefully this puts the trutherism to rest.
