Ogio's broken ... need advice.

[Jarro]

the strap on my stand bag has just about been torn away from the bag at the top join.

All the stitching has come undone

I've phoned every place i can think of, but no-one wants to know about trying to re-sew it for me

anyone have any suggestions (nice ones that is )

[McMw]

who did you call???
golf shops or the uphoulstery (sp?) ppl???

if not - you might wanna consider a new pair of Izzo straps - considerably less than forking out for a new bag...



Same thing happened to me couple of years ago, so the Taylor Made carry bag I have now, I put rubber insulation tape around the elbow of the strap to ease the friction...

all the upholstery places i phoned said the job was too big. I phoned the guy at my pro shop and he wasn't exactly helpfull

don't think i can replace the straps either, as they're sewn into the bag at the top and bottom

.. i'll keep phoning around

Explain to them what happened and see if they can organise a replacement strap, probably work out cheaper

Let us know what happened and good luck

[Jarro]

hey thanks Jaster ... i'll stop by and see them in person after work tomorrow

Forget upholsterers jarro. Most of us wouldn't have a sewing machine heavy enough to do the job.

I would suggest a canvas place. Not that they would necessarily do the job, but they would be more likely. They at least would have heavy machine which would be able to stich that type of fabric.

thats what they all said Goughy .. one of them told me about this mob as being someone that might be able to help, ADDWEST

these guys do all sorts of heavy duty stitching.... tents, canvas and other things .. i'll try them as well

[damoocow]

have you talked to macca - I recall he had stitching probs a while ago - may be able to point you in the right direction.

Why not buy a new bag? It's the ho way. :P

It's a shame that you haven't been able to find someone who can fix it. Although it seems like a messy job, it shouldn't result in the bag being thrown out.

[jaster]

I think before all hope is lost for jarro we might wait until he contacts the aussie importer

[shu]

Heyy...i would like to know it goes too...i also have an ogio bag and the same thing is happening...the stiching where the strap is sewn onto the top bit of the bag is starting to unravel.

I'm wondering when it'll decide to snap off...it'll most likely occur mid-round!! Kinda disappointed that this is happening since it's the best carry bag I owned...and they don't sell Ogio bags in Perth either

[markTHEblake]

what did you have in the bag? rocks????

Trung, you dont know just how close you came to the truth there. You can never find a brick in a hurry when you want to these days.

Now Jarro, have you found someone that does leather stuff? tHey should have the right gear for that.

I have also seen some heavy duty stitching tool in those mail order catalogue things people drop in your letterbox all the time.(i think)

(queue Ronald Regan) Well, well, well, well, well.....well....

I phoned Madison golf up, and they told me that they no longer handle the distribution... so they gave me the number of the company that does..i phoned 'em... and they virtually told me to go piss off

I think i might buy another bag from Amart Allsports

[jaster]

B@stards!!

So dud you go from the point of view that you bought it from the US and you want it fixed? Maybe this is what pissed them off?
I would have told them I got it as a present and want a replacement strap

Jarro - who handles the distribution these days? Do you have contact details for them?

Trung went and bought 2 golf bags last night - the crazy bugger drove from Sydney to Newcastle! The Flight and Voltage are the ones he got. I'm waiting for a review

[markTHEblake]

well if you are going to throw it away, you can toss it towards me. i am too old and crippled to carry a bag anyway.

[damoocow]

Call consumer affairs dept ! - or failing that one of the TV current affairs shows or even the courier mail - stick it up 'em.

[Trung]

Ogio. Great bags, great prices

[Jarro]

I would have told them I got it as a present and want a replacement strap

that's what i told them .... stupid pricks

anyway, i spoke to a guy today that seems to think he can fix it for me..Addwest at West End ... so i'll give them a go.

Wouldn't mind a new one though, just got back from Amart and had a look at the Ogios they have .... pretty good prices

[andylo]

jarro, if that doesn't fix can you show me the bag on Monday?

I think I know some asian sewing people may know how to fix it.

[AndyP]

I think I know some asian sewing people may know how to fix it.

andylo, we don't support those sorts of factories here in Australia for humanity reasons.

jarro, I can't believe you are considering buying a new bag. I was joking when I suggested it.
