avoid?
ok?
well worth getting?

what say you?

i worry about some reviews saying the internal leg system gets tangled in with the grips and that they can not retract very well.

specifically looking at the Hyper-Lite 5


thanks all.

yes i know SM are the ducks nuts but i'm not spending that amount of dollars on a bag at this point.
$250 max

If you are playing against Capt Nemo you will be needing a better bag.

I've had a couple and while I've not carried a great deal with them, I've not had trouble in the past with grips tangling. Having said that, I had a Hyperlite 4.0 and a model before that so perhaps not relevant. The water proof ones look the part if you can get one.

one competition i will never enter against the wonky finned one is a bag comp.

but he could have Spieths' bag next Friday and it won't help him one bit. Surely that form of his has to run out soon. Hottest golf on Ozgolf right now.

besides Shadesy any way.

The HL4 is pretty similar, just a smaller top than the hl5. thanks for the info.

i live in perth so getting a water proof bag just seems silly.

Golfs irrelevant with Shadesy, with us its all about the fairway strut.

No worries. Just to clarify (as I didn't really explain properly in my first post), I didn't find it tangled anymore than any other stand bag. Certainly no where near as bad as some of the Ping stand bags I've had in the past. You get a bit of tangling but I don't think the stand mechanism had anything to do with it. Stand bags are small, so you get a bit of tangling, but nothing ridiculous with the HL4 that I had.

Mate I just picked up a callaway hl5 2016 model I won in their Christmas give-away. Love the bag and have no issues whatsoever with the legs.

It's an awesome bag but I don't know if I'd pay rrp for it

The Nike stand bags are pretty good. I like the exfreme sport I have. Probably my favourite of the ones I have had.

I got the Callaway Fusion 14 for Christmas, second Callaway bag and really like it. Can't compare it to anything else but never had an issue with them

Thx all. Yeah the Nike bag is nice
Pete. There's a new hl5 on gt which I might grab which is why I'm asking. Thx though.

+1. I graduated from the SM Hybrid to my Nike and won't look back.
