Chris Uggiano Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I have both. It depends on where I am playing and how long the course is, which relates to whether I am walking or riding in a cart. That said, I prefer the cart bag simply because it’s bigger with more storage.

EugeGall Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I have a Big Max hybrid bag mainly for over winter as sometimes I can only walk, no carts or trolleys, but as the name suggests it can go on my push trolley if conditions allow. Great bag and good for the range as well. My main bag is a big Mizuno cart bag I use on my Clicgear most of the year simply because I can put more stuff in it than I need, plus it sits well on the push cart. Never ride as I like to walk/push.

Respryn Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Went with a Taylor made hybrid bag with 14 club slots,plenty of storage,easy to fit in car with trolley and leave room for luggage when going away. Found it works well as stand/carrying or on a trolley,would be nice to have a big cart bag but would be a luxury rather than practical for UK weather.

GFryman Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Currently a Pins & Aces stand, it’s just easier to move than the big old cart bag. I won a Bag Boy cart bag and push cart that I’ll try and switch out to but in the interim walking to the range and into my lessons the stand bag makes the most sense.

Shannon Severson Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 When I would walk as well as ride, I had an Ogio Hybrid bag, I loved it. Then I bought a cart, had a Sun Mountain c130, that was great, now I have a Ping DLX and that is ever better. However, I would never walk with the DLX unless it was on a cart.

Dr. Bill Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I use an MGI electric trolley. Stand Bags don't fit well, as the legs get in the way, so I use a cart bag with the trolley. When I travel, I switch to a stand bag because they are smaller and lighter. If I am going someplace where I will use a caddie, I always bring a light stand bag, as the caddies will not carry a big cart bag or pro style bag, and they will transfer your sticks to a lightweight bag.

OldSchoolFlusher Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I have both to be honest. In the UK we use buggies less than other side of the pond, but more use on electric trolley etc… If only playing few holes, or heavy conditions in winter then tend to carry, tournaments will use trolley as carry more stuff… Preeway and Rob Person 2 Quote WITB > Stealth 2 Driver > Mizuno STG 3 & 5 woods > Mizuno 243 Irons > Vokey SM9 Wedges (50,54,60) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy26 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I never carry or use a push cart. I'm always riding. Some places I play don't even allow walking. So, I obviously have a cart bag, and it's full of stuff. Like, too full Weighs a ton. One side has an umbrella, extra socks, and full rain gear even if it's not going to rain. The other side pocket carries half a dozen new gloves, bag of protein bars, box of new balls, and a small mesh bag with 25 or so range balls. The magnetic pouch on the front carries 12-15 balls. Zipper pouch is full of 3.25" Professional Tee Systems tees. Left small side pocket contains a pouch full of divot tools and ball markers. Right small side pocket is my valuables pouch. Bottom of the bag is a cooler with an ice pack and 2 bottles of Powerade. Last bottom pouch is a catch all for junk. Foot spray, range tees, club wrenches, phone holder that attaches to an alignment stick, etc. It's a PING Pioneer and has been an excellent bag!! I do like having a stand for the parking lot and range, so I installed an after market stand assembly I got off eBay. Works great!!

Richard Fahrney Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I use a cart bag for the main reason I have an MGI Zip Navigator. The heaviness of the bag stabilizes the cart. I tried lighter bags but this works. Preeway and Rob Person 2 Quote Played golf for over 50 years until my health and business calendar reduced my time to less then 5 rounds a year. Then 4 years ago I retired, changed my diet and lifestyle, lost 100 pounds and got back on the course. Its been a struggle but things are getting better.

NJ Golfer Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I switched to a stand bag over 20 years ago and now have a Sun Mtn with a 14 way top. They work well when I walk, use a push cart or ride. Can’t best the weight distribution of their shoulder strap system and the 14 way top with full length dividers works well to protect the shafts.

(A 22cal. for when in the woods and want to do some hunting while looking for a ball. A fishing rod when by the lake for looking for the ball again.) just had both and now retire and golfing everyday.

Jean D Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Cart bag for me. My current bag is a Taylormade Cart Lite. While I walk the course 90% of the time, I use a push cart (Sun Mountain Speed Cart V1R) I don’t carry my bag. As to why- I simply don’t like carrying it, I get horrible pain in my shoulders from every carry bag I’ve ever tried- to be fair, I’m 6’6” and broad-shouldered…not exactly the body shape this carry bags are designed for.

Sunday golf have not released it as its pre- order only right now...but it looks to be a full size cart bag! Got the same email….back to the topic at hand… As I both ride and push cart, I keep several bags around: Callaway 14 hole cart bag from Dick’s (into its 3rd year); Callaway 6 slot stand (bought 2nd hand from a local golfer) - super light weight, a little worse for wear; Knight 7 slot - really does well, legs can get wonky; very vintage 3 slot all leather Sports Network bag, single strap, 2 pockets… several others including a canvas style bag that has my high school’s logo on it….plans are to clean it up, play it maybe with the persimmons and blades (throwback to my high school years - mid-70’s EDIT TO ADD: no I didn’t play then, but sure wish I had…ah the memories I would have!)

ckeller52 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Hmmm.... interesting, owning one bag or the other. I choose both! And a smaller Sunday stand bag for the Executive course behind the house.

Mark DeWeese Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I use a Callaway Org14 cart bag because it is heavy enough to stabilize my Alphard V2 trolley, and it works when I'm riding. I use a Titlest stand bag when traveling because it takes less room in the car. I use a Cobra Ultralite Sunday bag when I'm heading out with a few wedges and a putter to practice.

BobLib Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I use a stand bag as I carry most of the time. When I used a push cart I did have a cart bag because I did not care about weight and I stored everything in the bag in lieu of separately from the bag. I am looking at adding a trunk storage unit for my shoe and other items to keep my bag light. Rob Person 1 Quote I try to play 1x / week but the PA weather usually has something to say about that.

Preeway Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I have both a Sunday Ryder bag (my lightweight stand bag) that I use when walking and a cart bag. I always walk and carry on the par 3 courses with my kids and use the cart bag with my BagBoy Nitron or when I ride in a cart. Now that I have a Ghost bag, that will be my cart bag and I just might try it as a carry bag and see how it goes. It’s a bit heavier than my Sunday bag but I’m gonna love all the features.

schmen082 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I walk with a push cart for EVERY round I play. I use a Titleist Cart 14 golf bag that I purchased last year. It's a midsize-ish cart bag with enough room for all of my essentials, but also light enough that I can easily move it from trunk to house to range to wherever if I don't want to use my cart. I had a stand bag up until last year. The main reason I changed it out was because my push cart didn't like the stand and it often wouldn't allow the bag to seat itself all the way down on the bottom of the cart. I would sometimes have to adjust the bag 3, 4, 5, or more times per round and it got very annoying. My cart bag sits perfectly and never moves out of position during my round!

MarvChamp Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I have other bags, but I use a very nice vintage stand bag branded "TOP-FLITE" in the cart because: I like vintage stuff; it's slimmer and my cart partners' HUGE golf bags crowd me out otherwise; and it's black and red and I'm a Texas Tech alum. So it all makes sense to me. Best, Marv Rob Person 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rygolf32 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I've always been a stand guy as I've walked most of my life...as I get older (and have joint problems), I've started to use either a push cart or ride. This past black Friday I bought the Titleist Hybrid 5 stand bag that was designed to be push/ride cart friendly with a couple of their designs but is still super comfortable to carry. 5 way divider is perfect for me and the pockets have plenty of room.

DAKDAKDAK Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I switched to a cart bag after years of using staff bags. I play daily and always walk and use a push cart . I like the larger size they provide as I tend to pack a lot of stuff.
