I have used a Yes Callie putter for 5-6 years. I like how it feels and how it rolls the ball. It also suits my eye. It seems to work better for me than the numerous others I have tried.

Winn grips have a history for wearing unusually fast. Many of the Winn grips do have a nice feel, especially for those with arthritis and others dealing with "vibration" issues. However, if you do a search either on Google or on an internet golf discussion board, you will find that many others have experienced this problem. I'm not knocking Winn, but this has been an apparent characteristic of their grips.

You can only really tell by hitting them all... outside. You have some good candidates from which to choose. I personally like Mizuno, so I am biased. But, as I said before, take your time and hit them all. Enjoy the process... and your new irons. I'm curious. Why are the local shops steering you away from the Titleists?

FYI... Sun Mountain makes all of Titleist's golf bags.

Thank you for the second video and for specifically addressing my questions and concerns. I genuinely appreciate it. As I mentioned in my previous email, I am a longtime Bennington Quiet Organizer cart bag user. They are incredible bags. I am sure that you will enjoy it even more once you get it out on the golf course. Club chatter is non-existent. I have six-year old, forged MacGregor irons that still look practically brand new despite many rounds of golf each year... thanks to the bag. The molded rubber on the top that holds the clubheads is indestructible and still looks like new. I actually have a brand new Bennington Quiet Organizer stand bag which I have never used, due to a bad rotator cuff injury a few years ago; I no longer can carry a bag very easily. I am planning to sell it for that reason and then buy a new 2012 Bennington Quiet Organizer Cart Bag to replace my current one. (The vinyl/simulated leather on the side of my current bag was badly torn in transport, as I stated previously. Functionally, the bag is still perfect). Thanks again for the videos and answering my questions. You did a great job! Steve

Thank you for making the video. I appreciate it. I have owned and heavily used a Bennington Quiet Organizer cart bag for 6-7 years. I also use a Cliqgear 2.0 push cart. So, your video is especially helpful. I am really into comparing and using gear and I have found that--for MY wants and needs--the Bennington Quiet Organizer is MY best choice. My Bennington bag has held up exceptionally well; I play at least 75 rounds a year. I am looking to replace it because I have a large tear on the side, not from wear, but which occurred when snagging on something sharp while being transported. I have taped it up, but I have decided it is time to get a new version. My questions and comments: You have some really nice, new gear: Bettinardi putter, Mizuno irons, Titleist, Adams. Enjoy! The Bennington bag will protect them well. I noticed that when you cinched the retaining straps of the Cliqgear around the bag, they appear to have restricted access to several pockets. Is this true? I would love to see you fill up the pockets of your new bag with rain gear, balls, water bottles, etc., whatever you carry, and then see how the restraining straps of the Cliqgear then fit around the bag. I have an oversized grip on my putter. Will the putting well on your new 2012 model Bennington accommodate a putter with an oversized grip? You can use a headcover on your Adams hybrid if you want it to nest more securely in the bag. I also would like to see photos or a video of your bag with an additional few woods or hybrids--WITH headcovers--seated in the middle slots of the bag. (I use a 4 and a 7 wood). How well do they fit? (I also have mid-sized grips on my woods). Thanks again for your wonderful video. Steve

I hope I am not breaking any policies here, but I have an older, all black, brand new Bennington Quiet Organizer stand bag. It is the same as the Light Quiet Organizer pictured above, but without the putter scabbard. It has never been used; it hasn't even been out of my house. It is just sitting here. I bought it about 3-4 years ago, but then damaged my rotator cuff in a stumble down icy steps that winter. So, I never used it; I no longer carry. I now use my Bennington Quiet Organizer Cart bag on a push cart or on a riding cart, depending on the course. It is a beautiful, well-built bag. As I said, I don't know if I'm allowed to mention it here. I never considered selling it, but I have no use for it. Any suggestions?

Cart Bag w/ "Quiet" Features
stevegp1 replied to GJBenn85's topic in Balls, Carts/Bags, Apparel, Gear, Etc.
I have extensively used a Bennington Quiet Organizer bag on both a riding and pull cart for about six years. It is a great bag. IMHO, for ME, it is a much better bag than than the Bag Boy. It successfully eliminates club chatter and protects the clubfaces of forged irons. It is well designed and well made. Like aMindbender, I also believe it is the best cart bag available. They only have 1-2 brick-and-mortar stores that carry them. Do online searches for Internet vendors. There are several out there. Also, go to Bennington Golf for more information. -
Is the Bennington bag you have the one in the photo/graphic in your original post? (The graphic shows the features and "layout" of the top of the bag). It looks like that bag has an internal putting tube or well in the front of the top. I'm glad to hear it fits a putter with a Tigershark grip. I have a jumbo Winn putter grip on my putter.

Snofrog, I have heavily used an older model of the Bennington Quiet Organizer Cart Bag for about seven years, Mine has an external putter well on the side. I love the bag and I want to buy one of the newer models... the Quiet Organizer 12. First to answer your questions: The only alternatives that I know are the ClubMaxx (which I believe the company is now out of business). I had a ClubMaxx Brisbane. I believe the Bennington is a much better bag; the various Bag Boy Revolvers. There are many reviews out there on the Internet. Some people love them; others don't; Adams also has some type of bag out now that isolates the clubs. I have seen pictures, but really don't know anything about it. There are not many dealers who sell Bennington. I believe they only have one brick-and-mortar store dealer in the USA. There are only a few vendors on the Internet that sell them. Look for one with free shipping. Watch for 10-15% off sales from these dealers. It will save you money. The reason I want to replace it us that I have a large tear in the vinyl on the side of my bag (caused by catching the bag on something as I transported it; it was NOT a wear issue). I have had it patched with Tenacious Tape for a few years. The only other wear is a bit on the loop on the front of the bag that the cart strap passes through. I have a question: Is the putter well on your Bennington large enough to accommodate a putter with oversized or jumbo grips? Thanks. Email me if you need more information.
