Hell, I'd take 10lbs extra weight if my clubs would come out nicely.

For a carry/stand bag? That wouldn't sell…

Clubs could still bind if you had 14 full-length nylon bits of fabric. So I took it to mean those plastic dividers/tubes.

Really? Just a panel of nylon running down? Hell, I'd take 10lbs extra weight if my clubs would come out nicely.

10 pounds more is a hell of a lot of weight for a stand bag.

I've always had bags with anywhere from 4- to 6-way dividers, except one 14-way bag I had. Not coincidentally, that one was way, way too heavy to carry comfortably. It's not just the nylon, its the plastic and fabric that has to go on top and on bottom that add weight.

In my bag:

Driver: Titleist TSi3 | 15º 3-Wood: Ping G410 | 17º 2-Hybrid: Ping G410 | 19º 3-Iron: TaylorMade GAPR Lo |4-PW Irons: Nike VR Pro Combo | 54º SW, 60º LW: Titleist Vokey SM8 | Putter: Odyssey Toulon Las Vegas H7

I respectfully disagree.  In my experience, a high-quality stand bag is materially better than a low-quality one.  Broken stand mechanisms, bent stand legs, undone stitching, and broken zippers are just some of the issues I've encountered with lower-tier bags.  Not worth it, IMHO.

broken zippers or legs is one thing i haven’t had with the Nike stand bags. only bag i have had troubles with was a ping stand bag. but that was way back in the day so their bags prob a whole lot better now. i paid 80bucks for my 2017 nike sport bag. it’s way better then my 130$ bag. i’m not a fan of the 14way bags. always jus like the 4-6way bags the best

I don't understand why people like Ogio.  I find their products to be low quality for the price point.

Stand bags from Sun Mountain are the best for the money, IMHO.

To each his own, I guess...I really like the Ogio bags with the "Woode" top.  Keeps my clubs organized and easy to pull.  The only problem I ever had with Ogio was very thin shoulder straps on one bag and that was VERY uncomfortable.  I replaced that one this year with another Ogio and it is very comfortable to walk with.  Got it for under $100.  Just sayin'...everybody likes something different...
