Bags with 4-way or 14-way dividers?

[pitchinwedge]

Which do you prefer and why?

[mrhicksta]

14-way stand bags for me as long as they're full length dividers. I like the organization and minimal club tangling. I tried to go back to the 4 or 5 way bags and couldn't stand it. Regardless of whether I'm using a cart or stand bag it has to be 14-way!

[Matt J]

I like 14 in my cart bag and 4 in my stand bag.

[Boricua Golf]

14 way in both Cart and Carry bags...

[Jules Winnfield]

Once you go 14 way, it's hard to go back.

I just recently got a 14 way stand bag and like it much better. It is nice to not have the club grips tangled. But I do miss being to organize my clubs in a row as opposed to a honeycomb pattern.

i like cart bag with 14ways but it is hard to find.

 

whenever i found bags i like, it comes 4 ways only... T^T

Actually, it seems to me that 14-way CART bags are abundant but 14-way STAFF bags don't exist.

[pitchinwedge]

Not a large sample, but it's still interesting to see the 14-way cart and 4-way stand bags are nearly tied.

Have been a 4-way stand bag user for many years, Sun Mountain and Ping Hoofer. Recently picked up a TM Catalina cart bag with all dividers thinking it would be better on the back of golf carts on holidays abroad. I've since realised i can't invert my clubs for transit with the additional dividers, so what benefits it might have had are negated by other issues - will probably just sell the Catalina on, or keep it to store my spare clubs !

Once I went 14 way, the couple times I tried 4 way (or any other configuration), I just haven't liked it. I'm a 14 way guy for life now!

[Kenny Lee Puckett]

I don't always use the staff bag, but when I'm on one I prefer it 6 way.... ;)

I like 14 in my cart bag and 4 in my stand bag.

 

+1 Same for me. Wouldn't a 14 way stand bag be adding needless weight?

[Orange Hog]

I walk for a lot of my rounds and not always do I bust out the clicgear, so I'm pretty much a dedicated stand bag guy. My OCD forces me into the 14-way...anything else gets cluttered and annoys me too much.

[Greenie]

I like my 14 way cart bag and my 14 way stand bag. Using my stand bag the most since I walk most rounds. I like organization and the 14 way gives me that.

[cz13X4]

Hated 14 way. Too much clanking and chatter when walking or driving. Too much time searching for that clubs own spot. I prefer 6 or 7 but 4 is all sun mountain does unless you go to a smaller bag than a 3.5.

[pitchinwedge]

Seems true for stand (or carry) bags that 4 or 6 dividers makes less noise than 14...

[Edaw68]

I like 14 in my cart bag and 4 in my stand bag.

Exact same here.

This.

 

14 way bags seem a bit too precious of my sensibilities.

[ode1]

Cart bag with 14 full length dividers and two wells on the outside = $....now I need to find one where the top slopes like a stand/carry bag for use in my push cart, as cart bags just don't slope the right way for a push cart....the one I have is about as neutral as I have seen.

[timmy8151]

I like 14 in my cart bag and 4 in my stand bag.

Exact same here.

 

Me as well. When I walk I want as light a bag as possible

[lsf_21]

I didnt like 14 or 4 way. Would like a 6 way with an spot for my putter.

 

My biggest issue with 4 way is the putter mingles with everything and headcovers and clubs tangle. Not real reason I disliked 14 way other than clubs in the middle had to fish for the right spot when putting the club up at times.

 

If I were to choose again I would go with 14.

[icecat88]

14 way cart with individual putter well

[pitchinwedge]

4-way stand bag still winning...

 

Also, for this poll, 4-way and 6-way bags are essentially the same. Simply trying to compare the popularity of bags with lots of dividers versus bags with fewer dividers.

[StarFleetGolfer]

4way, it's better for walking

[jslane57]

Carry bag with few. I actually prefer 2 divisions. 3 at max. I think there is less club chatter with less dividers. And only carrying 12 or less clubs really stands out with 14 dividers...

[Halebopp]

I have a 15-way divider in my cart bag and I'd newer go back to less than 14 unless it was the Ogio Woode system, which I have in my carry bag.

[arbitrage]

I have a Sun Mountain C-130 for riding and a Four 5 for walking. Both 14 way. I like that every club has a slot and I know right away if I have misplaced my club/left a wedge on the green.

[pitchinwedge]

Poll is showing Cart bags are popular with 14-way dividers.

 

Toss up for stand bags. Never would have guess this.
