So I am looking to pick up my first bag and I know I want a stand bag, but can't figure out if a 5 way or a 14 way bag is better. I know some will say its preference, but I am looking for feedback from those who have one or the other and why they went with that bag. I have narrowed it down to either a Ping or Titleist bag.

Do you carry, take a cart or use an push cart?

I've had both, and probably prefer the 5 hole over the 14 hole bags that I've had. In the cheaper bags, the club holes on the 14s are not separated down through the bag and the clubs will get stuck a bit and you have to wiggle them in, which at times gets annoying. I once had a 5 hole stand bag that I liked better. Plenty of room, and my clubs didn't seem to mind sharing a slot.

I bought a 14-hole bag this Spring that was cheap and it's functional. The reason I didn't get a 5-hole bag is that I use a push cart and the stand bags I could find that were 5-holes don't fit well into it. 

Good luck.

I prefer 5 way. 14 hole is just a gimmick. Like you said, the dividers don’t go all the way down so it’s actually more annoying when your clubs do bind.

14 hole with tubes is my first choice. The tubes are sold separately. I don't carry my bag, and the shaft divisions the tubes provided is important to me. Never a sticky moment with those. My trolley does not care how much my bag weighs. 

I have had clubs get stuck no matter how the bag/club openings were designed. 

However, since the OP says a stand bag, then that makes me think he is going to carry it. So, to save weight, I'd go with a 5 divider.

The cart might not, but you might. I can absolutely tell how much I'm pushing. I went to a slightly lighter stand bag (maybe .5 lbs lighter) and I noticed it was easier to push immediately. I can tell when in pushing an umbrella vs when I'm not

My favorite dividing pattern ever was by Ogio.  Four individual wells (I used for woods), a putter well, and three larger wells.  If the non-club pockets were still working on that bag, I'd still be using it.

Speaking of pockets, I don't want to carry carry things I don't need around in my bag so how many pockets seems to be the sweat spot?

I just bought a Titleist Player 14 bag. It's the first bag I have ever owned that has 14 dividers. I really like it, it's light enough for me to carry it, it sits perfectly in my Clicgear push cart, and rides great on a cart. It's the best all around bag I've ever had. In addition, it has all the pockets I need without getting ridiculous. I don't know if the dividers have anything to do with it, but my clubs are easy to extract and return, no clubs getting stuck or anything like that.

I don't know.  I pack a fair bit into my bag, but it currently has only three pockets.  Yet I make do with it and carry:

* 3-4 new balls.  I don't lose that many in a round.

* Half dozen used balls so I can chip with them.  Not like anywhere I can chip has a green that reacts like the greens I play though.

* Pouch with spare wallet with some cash, sharpies, copy of rules of golf

* Pouch to put my wallet, phone, car keys in

* face cloth

* Additional water bottles (when I walk, I have a separate insulated lunch bag I carry on my cart), snacks too

* A few dozen tees, even though many are plastic and I rarely break or lose one

* Sunglasses

So I have narrowed it down to these 2 bags.  Titleist  Players 5 Stand Bag or Staff Stand Bag. But I am leaning ore towards the players bag. I have thought about what everyone here has said, and I like the idea of the 5 or 6 way bag the best.

SAME here.  Ogio Grom (the old Grom, not the newer one).  I liked the wells/ layout, and the pockets.  That was the last bag that I could fit everything inside, including rain gear.  The Ping Hoofer 14 that I currently has is ok, but not great.  I do really like the looks/ functionality of the Titleist bags also.

Ok, so I pulled the trigger and went with Titleist 5 way Staff Stand Bag. Got it in RED/WHITE/BLACK  for a little under $200.

I want to thank everyone for your input, it made it easier to make my choice.

      Day 190 (08 Nov 24) - Worked with the putter this morning, while watching the Champions Tour on the Golf Channel, working right hand - higher/lower - finding a slightly higher right hand seems to add more consistent roll.  Later today moved outside to work with tempo and slightly shorter backswing to get better low point control - hitting 6i into the net.  Solid session except for the next to last ball that I got over the net and into the wild blue yonder….managed to sheepishly retrieve it from the neighbor’s back yard two doors down….

      My Swing (Jetfan1983)

      By JetFan1983 ·

      My driver is slower, relatively, at only like 103 mph when I play. I know it should be higher than that with an 88 mph 8-iron, but I have to slow down to find the middle of the face. I'm hoping to get it closer to where it should be, at some point in the next year. I just noticed my embedded swing removed frames of 6 and 7, so if anyone want to see them you can click the video to watch on YouTube directly. Here are those missing frames though: The LiveView camera gives me just enough frames I think to help me during these range sessions. It helps the most in between swings, where it's easy for me to review the previous swing, position the camera well for the next one, make rehearsal swings as if I was looking at a mirror and then seeing my setup and takeaway. It's hard for me to observe more than that during the swing itself, but if I go half speed, I can observe 4 and my transition quite a bit and work on that with it too.

      Thank you!  Here in the video I'm going slower than normal. Maybe like 80mph only at best. On the course it's probably like 90ish mph. The last time I measured my 8-iron going full it was going 88mph and that was in late August.
