I'm looking for a comfortable, double strap stand bag that's functional, lightweight, and most importantly easy to get in and out of (especially my left shoulder/arm). I recently found the Ogio Schling strap and thought my problems were solved but have read some less than desirable reviews, especially some concerning bigger guys. I'm tall with broad shoulders and find most of the bags out there very difficult to adjust providing enough room to easily slip on and off without either changing the way the bag was designed to balance horizontally when carrying or just keeping the straps in place on my shoulders because everything is so loose.

The Ogio bag is more expensive than just about everything out there, but would be well worth the money if I could be convinced that it would meet my needs. http://www.ogio.com/product.php?product=37

Any input or experience, especially with the schling strap, would be appreciated.

I'm a big guy (XXL Tall size) and I've been using a Datrek Solite Sportstrek stand bag for two years now. I love it. It's got the Izzo dual strap and it's very easy to slip on and off and it's very comfortable. It took me a while to find one that really fit me, but I'm happy with this one. It's got the 14 individual slots for the clubs and it's pretty lightweight. I'd guess it's under 5 pounds, but I don't know the exact weight. I've never had a problem with the stand not opening up on this one either. The only drawback is that it only has six pockets, but I don't carry a lot of extra stuff with me when I walk. I can't help you with the Ogio because I've never tried one. I would go around to the golf stores and try all of them until I found one I was happy with. Then I'd buy it online and get a better price.

    • 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.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • 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?
