View Full Version : Bought me a new bag

I recently decided that I wanted to get a Stand bag after my Srixon and its average stitching decided to pack it in. Never had a Stand bag before so I'll be new to the carrying factor so if you guys have any tips let me know... after much research and finding the most suitable bag for my needs, I realised that I only ever wanted to get a Titleist so I just went out and bought their Premium Stand Bag from Drummond, definitely not the best bang for buck but Titleist never is. But it is sexy :)

Just didn't really like any of the other Stand's on the market. And initially I thought I might be pressed for room but it has way more than enough. I think if I filled the pockets up I wouldnt be able to carry it.

And its light as too, even with brolly all clubs balls and accessories its super light on my back. maybe ill change that opinion after 18 holes when I next get on the course. Anyway I can always chuck it on the buggy if need be. Heres a couple pics for you guys..

Nice. 8)

Titty bags are super comfy and among the lightest on the market.

Straps might need a slight adjustment to get them carrying an even load. I have carried since I was 13 and I have found the least back pain or fatigue seems to be when you have the bag adjusted so it sits about four inches under your shoulder blades. Too high is definitely the worst.

The good thing about the Titty bags is that the handle at the top of the bag is handy to grab with your right hand when you get to your ball, shrug off the left shoulder strap first, and then it's easy to use the right hand to put the bag down, which causes the right strap to fall off.

True... I'm just lucky that the exchange rate was upward of 90c when I bought mine.

cheers scott will try that out. Hopefully will get out once the weather fairs up to test it out. Impressed with the size and weight of this bad boy some others are way too small

I got a Bridegestone carry bag. I brought it because after having a go of a mates around Gympies hills i was not half as tired as pushing my smoothy around.
I love the look of the titleist bag though but they are a bit more expensive than my bridgestone.

My x86 was $209 new from Drummond. It was much cheaper than the Cally, Cleveland, Ping etc from memory.

What sort of titleist one is it, i see on there website that they have a big range;

Premium Stand Bag
Lightweight Stand Bag
StaDry Waterproof Stand Bag
Ultra Lightweight Stand Bag
Im wondering what the difference is, is it just a few less features in each one that make it lighter or is it smaller?

I had a look at the titty bag the other day, seems like a good piece of kit.

I've got a warbird hot, really like it.

Nice grammar, Ogio boy. $60 new? Who'd you have to blow?

Flavvz: you weren't tempted by the sexy colour combos on offer in the Titty range?

Mines the Premium mate, the others are a lot smaller and to be honest too small IMO..

The same way I got a new srixon wg-504 wedge for 10 clams. An auction (of the bricks-n-mortar type).

Black pinstripe Grom or Sasquatch Tour's are the pick of the bunch.

Black pinstripe Grom

Please no! AndyP has one of these in brown... it's hideous!

Big difference between black and brown Courty, and I don't like bright yellow like some!

Actually armed with that information, consider the Sasquatch Tour the front runner. Now for the dollar to creep a little higher....

If you look hard enough, you can find some pretty funky colour combinations...

I need a new stand-bag. 60 for an ogio sounds like a steal.

I saw some maxfli standbags the other day for 50. Was half-way to the register then realised the stand had bean detached.

Not much of a standbag without the stand.

You need like 5 grand left over for all these things you are going to do after the OS trip :roll:

Bent irons, a couple of shafts and some lessons? 5 Grand?? only for the duke mate.
