I'm looking at a 14 way divider bag.  Probably going with the Sun Mountain four 5.  Are there any other solid options for a stand bag with full 14 way dividers?  I have a White Taylormade Burner 2.0 bag now and do not like my clubs getting stuck on each other when using a cart.

Looking for suggestions!


Thanks!!!

The Four 5 is a nice bag. My brother uses one and he loves it. The slightly older Ogio bags offer the Woode club management top which isn't exactly a 14 way top but quite nice non the less. If your looking for a cheaper alternative, you could always buy the club tubes that you can insert into your bag creating a 14 way bag.

I have a friend that has the four 5 -  He speaks highly of it.  Its a nice looking bag, too.

Titleist makes a nice 14 way divider bag, but like all Titleist gear, is very expensive!

If you're carrying or for the cart -- it's tough to beat the four-five if you own one bag. The leg closure for carts is a great idea and will save your bag.

Of course, I have an old SM Supercart Lux Bag and a 3.5; so I am looking at the zero g or swift x-g for carry when the time is right.

I have the Woode divider in my Ogio Vaporlite. It's definitely "good enough" and it's better than a lot of the dividers out there at the moment but it's not full length and clubs can still get stuck being taken out or put back in. I like the look of the divider on the Bag Boy Revolver but it looks pricey!

Thank you for the suggestion, I put my bag on C-List.  I may just get some tubes for it if I don't sell it.  That revolver bag is sweet!  I don't know that I want a full time cart bag, i'd rather have the option to carry.

Thanks for the help!

My brother had the same needs for a bag as you, and went with this Ogio Grom bag: http://www.tgw.com/customer/category/product.jsp?SUBCATEGORY_ID=15975∏_ID=14476951&CID;=MC&LNK;=MC-BSH&mr;:referralID=e299dc40-d4bd-11e0-891e-001b2166c2c0

I see the clubs get stuck a little here and there when we're out playing, but for the most part he's been very happy with his purchase. Good luck in your search!

Thanks for the suggestion.  That is a sharp looking bag!  I might have to check it out.  The only downfall is it doesn't have the full dividers.  I imagine it works better than the bag i have now.

If you ride make sure you get a 2011 and newer Four 5.  They have the cart friendly bases.  The older ones don't and, consequently, don't fit well in riding carts.

Also - Titleist bags are made by Sun Mountain so they're the exact same bag except for the Titleist logos and the carrying straps.

I went out yesterday and looked at the Sun Mountain bags -  They are great, and the product looks superior to the other bags that the big name brands slap their name on!

I agree the Sun Mountain Four 5 carry bag is probably one of your best options I hear a ton a good reviews from golfing buddies on this one. But another option you could always look at Swift X carry bag or Nike Performance carry both look pretty good.

I like the cooler pocket on the Nike.

I have an older ogio edge.  I use the tubes to keep the clubs separate.  Now I need to anchor the tubes down so they don't start to come up when taking a club out.  Even my putter grip grabs on a fold of cloth about 8" down.  I'll keep modding the bag until it is perfect. Do I need to work on a smooth(er) club withdraw motion?

It depends on where you expect a club to be when reaching for it. I looked at bags yesterday (Golf Town - Red Deer) and other than the SM four5, the only ones I liked were either a club brand I don't care to promote, or the divider arrangement was just plain ridiculous.

I have an OGIO Syncro that's I bought last year and it has 15 slots with an external putter well.  It might be a 2009 model but I'm not sure.  I love the way it looks and the pocket arrangement is OK but not overly spacious.  The zipperless ball pocket is great and one of my favorite features.  But here's some negatives that I've encountered and you should consider when looking at 14 ways.

1.  The club slots are too small.  I use jumbo grips and I'm constantly snagging my clubs taking them in/out of the bag.

2.  The external putter holder is strategically placed to push my mallet putter head against the graphite shafts of my hybrids.  I have to be real careful how the hybrids are positions to be sure the head cover protects the shafts or leave the slot open next to the external putter holder.

3.  The separate club dividers still don't keep the grips from adjacent clubs from snagging on each other which gets worse if I put too much in the pockets....like my XXXL rain suit.

In retrospect, I wish I had gone with Woode system or a larger 14-way cart bag.  My next cart bag is going to the biggest son of a b%*

    • Makes sense.  Like I said, I wouldn't have been upset at their original offer either, and based on the fine print it seems like they've held up their end of the deal.  
    • If you've only had to adjust retroactively one time in 8 years and have around 5 people each year without handicaps, that's like 40-50 people total so it sounds like you're doing a pretty good job. I think your questions give enough to go off of. This might be a good way to get new people to actually post a few scores during the 6 weeks leading into the first event. Something like "New members will be eligible for tournament money once they have at least 3 posted rounds in GHIN" or something like that. If they can get 3 rounds in prior to their first event, then they're eligible. If not, they'll soon become eligible after an event or two assuming they play a little bit outside of events.
    • This is a loooooong winded narrative so if you don't like long stories, move on. 😉 Our senior club typically gets about 25 new members each year. We lose about 25 members each year for various reasons (moved to FL/AZ, disabled, dead, too expensive). Of the new members, usually 20 have an active GHIN handicap. About 5 each year do not have a GHIN handicap. When they join our club, we give each member a state association membership that includes GHIN handicapping services. We play a series of handicapped tournaments over the summer. When we sign up a new member who does not have a GHIN handicap, we attempt to give them an estimated index until they have sufficient scores posted to have an actual GHIN index.  Our first event typically is around May 15 so, in theory, a new member has about 6 weeks to post a few scores. Posting season in the Mitten starts April 1. Inevitably, several of the unhandicapped individuals seem  to either not play until the first tournament or can't figure out how to enter scores (hey, they are seniors). That situation then leads to my contacting the new member and asking a series of questions: a. Did you ever have a GHIN handicap? If yes, which State and do you recall what it was? b. Do you have an alternate handicap through a non-GHIN handicap service or a league? c. What do you think your average score was last year (for 9 or 18) d. What was your best score last year? Where did you play and which tee was used? e. What do you consider a very good score for yourself? Based on their responses I attempt to give them an index that makes them competitive in the first couple events BUT does not allow them to win their flight in the first couple events. We don't want the new members to finish last and at the same time, we don't want someone with a "20" playing handicap to win the third flight with a net 57. In the event some new member did shoot a net 57, we also advise everyone that we can and will adjust handicaps retroactively when it is clear to us that a member's handicap does not accurately reflect their potential. We don't like to adjust things retroactively and in the 8 years I have chaired the Handicap Committee, we have only done it once. So here are the questions to the mob: Any ideas how to do this better? Any questions one might ask an unhandicapped individual to better estimate their index/handicap? Would it be reasonable to have a new player play once (or more?) without being eligible to place in the money?
