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.

    • Day 622 - 2026-06-16 Played 16 holes. We skipped 10 and 11. Backswing is good. Most of the time.
    • Day 287 6-16 Full, fast swings with controlling low point. Did ok just wasnt feeling it tonight. Recorded swing, no ball.
    • I'm good with the bunkers, and the fairways are SUPER wide. Three yards should stop a ball that isn't landing in it from rolling into the hay.
    • I'm a little behind, but I just finished listening to the episode about practicing while on vacation.  I have two vacations coming up this month that I won't be bringing golf clubs with me on, and this was perfectly timed (I'm sure I am not the only one going on vacation in June).   Especially the part about stretching.  I keep putting off adding stretching, with golf in mind, to my daily routine.  I think I'm going to use these upcoming vacations, the first of which I'm flying off to on Thursday, as a way to get into this habit.   For anyone else interested, Fit For Golf (see sidebar) has fantastic stretching routines (some of which, I think, are on their free area).  I really should get back to doing their main exercises too.  I don't have any affiliation with them beyond "satisfied customer," in case that sounds like an ad. I may end up posting in the 5 minutes thread when I do golf stretches if it's my only practice that day... as if I don't already sound like a broken mp3 with my 10-15 minutes hitting indoors part. And back to the topic:  anyone not caught up on the podcast should consider catching up and listen to that episode, especially if you're going on a non-golf vacation this summer and want some practice ideas that aren't the at-home practice routine from LSW about long bunker shots (which I am sure we all do regularly).
    • Mostly pull cuts to slices. Some random pull draw/hooks pending of I hit the toe.
