Hi all,

Since I love my Mizuno irons and wedges, will soon be getting their hybrids, and when improved, will definately get their MP irons, I want to get rid of my Cobra cart bag and get a Mizuno.  I only use a cart bag when riding. And want all the storage. I love and use my Nike Sasquatch when walking. Anyway.....  I am not very thrilled with their Rider cart bag, It is more  blue than white and boring. I do however love their smaller staff/tour bag. Similar to the Titleist mid sized staff bag. I really love the white with  the Mizuno bright blue accents. And it is only 2lbs heaver than many cart bags, Some even weigh the same. I am still trying to break 100, will soon though, and play for fun. Will I be looked down upon, be considered pretentious, considered a snob? I am not a braggart, am mellow, and do not even celebrate on the course. I just love that bag. How do you guys feel about others using staff bags?

Here is a thread that may help...

http://thesandtrap.com/forum/thread/25184/are-staff-bags-pretentious

Here's what I said...

Quote:

I have a Titleist 9" Staff Cart bag from 10 years ago that I have been using and it has seen it's day. I just retired it and while I was waiting for a new stand bag (Titleist), I pulled out the 10.5 Tour bag from the 90s. This thing is big. I played with it the other day and could barely get it strapped to the cart. I played with my buddy and 2 strangers and one of them made a comment like the last time he saw a bag that big was on Caddyshack. Well after playing from the tips and finishing the front bogey-bogey for 38, there were no more comments (scraped it on the back for a 78). But to be fair, it is one big ass bag from the old Tommy Armour Tour (same bag that Freddie and Davis used) that can hold the kitchen sink. My friend that played the tour had it embroidered for me back in 1992 and the thing still looks new and all the leather has held up really well. But again, it is one big  bag. If I am riding, I like a big bag, after all I am not carrying it. But if you don't have any game or have thin skin then you should go with the smaller less obnoxious size cart staff bag.

I just received my new stand bag and love it for practicing.  It does OK on the cart so occasionally I will pull out the big bag when I am in the mood.

I just remembered that two holes after the Caddyshack comment, I hit the flag from 135 with a 9 iron and made the 5 footer for birdie. Priceless.

Don't let others dictate what you should or shouldn't buy.  If a staff bag ticks all the boxes for you for practical reasons, if you like the way they look, by all means get one !

Pretentious ?  Snob ?  I don't see why !  It's just a golf bag !

This^^^^ Golf is your hobby, if a staff bag works for you then go for it and the hell with anybody that "doesn't approve."

      Golf Workouts

      Hey, thanks for the feedback. I do lift weights but I’m also adding yoga or Pilates for mobility and flexibility to my routine.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 18: 2026.01.20 Continuing work on arm raise during backswing. Starting to feel less weird, especially the slower I go. Looking like a busy week so might be the weekend before I can hit some balls.

      It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.

      Maintaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By Mystique · Posted

      It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.

      Golf Workouts

      I would say both are equally not the best for golf. Is it better than nothing, sure.  Golf is an athletic motion. Professional golfers are doing a comprehensive workout routine focusing on strength, power, flexibility, stability. They might include some yoga into the routine. I would put both of them in the recovery bin, not golf enhancement bin.  If you want to increase swing speed, core strength, longevity in golf and life, then lift heavy weights.
