Hey Guys,

I have never thought that picking out a new golf bag would be so difficult.  The first thing I cannot decide is if I want a cart bag or a stand bag.  The second choice is what bag in particular.  I am looking at the Callaway Org14 or the Callaway X22 bags,  The Ogio Grom, Sun Mountain four5, Ogio Sultan....

what should I be looking for in a bag??

How often do you carry your bag? If you don't carry, I'd recommend a cart bag. I quit carrying my bag a couple years ago (my shoulders didn't like it.) and switched to a Ogio cart bag. I've never regretted it.

I usually carry because I had a TaylorMade Tourino Stand bag.  However it would not take a lot for me to stop carrying.  I can rent pull carts at the courses around me for just a few bucks....I did not know if there was an advantage to one style over the other

Carts bags are great if you ride or push a cart, as they tend to have larger pockets that are more accessible when attached to a cart than stand bags do.  I have one of each because the cart bags don't stand too well on their own, so when I go to the range or to putt and chip you have to lay the bag down unless there's a perfectly flat area that you can balance the cart bag base on.

I have been looking at the Ogio Grom because it's a stand bag that looks like it's setup like a cart bag.  If you're looking at one bag to replace your stand/carry and use on carts that would be my choice right now.

If you are unsure about carrying/riding/pushing you could always go with that Sun Mountain Four5 you mentioned or the Titleist 14-way (essentially the same bag with a few minor changes and Titleist branding).  It is large enough that you can pretty much fit whatever you'd want to bring with you, it fits well on a cart and is still light enough that you can carry it.  It's what I use (the Titleist version) and I love it.

I would go with the Sun Mountain Four5 if your more interested in carrying the bag. I mean SunMountain is first off known for their golf bags. But this is an extremely lightweight bag that is nice to carry around for 18 holes. Comfortable straps are the most important obviously so I would see which one you like better the SunMountain or Callaway X-22 both would be my pick. I saw them the other day for a reasonable price on GolfClubs.com if you are looking to buy one. Good Luck.

Just bought a Titliest 14-way a few weeks ago and came from a Ping Hoofer. Awesome bag. Have not had a chance to take it on the course but from what I can tell so far I will be more than pleased.

Have you considered any Nike bags? I recently bought the Nike SQ Tour (2010 model) on clearance sale at Golf Galaxy for $159.  Its a stand bag, weighs 5 lbs and has 14 full length dividers.

Plenty of pockets and very nice looking.  The strap system is very comfortable if you walk.  The 14 divider system is a must have once you experience it.

Built in cooler pocket holds 4 cans of your favorite beverage.

one word of caution about using a cart bag on a push cart. With most Cart bags the woods are in the back, and the irons/shorter clubs are in the front. When you lay the bag in a pull/push cart, you're laying the back into the cart, which would make the woods on the bottom and the irons on the top whch would make the clubs more difficult to take out of the bag and/or potentially damage shafts.

Good choice I have used one for a while now and find it great to carry or on my cart!!

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."

The Nike SQ Tour Stand bag just came in the mail today.  I must say that at first glance I am in love, but only time will tell how I will like the 14 way divider.  I cannot wait to take it out whenever this rain stops.

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.

      Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings.

      IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
