Just curious why didn’t you consider the 4.5 LS?  I love SM bags because of the no tangle and has a 2.5 in the past when I used to carry a lot.  Considering going for a 4.5 since I now only use pushcart or ride.  Funny thing is I like the style of the 3.5 much better than the 4.5 especially the 2021 versions

I think the only versions of 4.5 that I saw were with the 14 club dividers, which isn't what I was looking for.

 

Honestly, I love the 3.5 LS and will ride it out as long as it lasts...perfect bag for what I was looking for.

[FairwayFinder11]

Yeah I don’t know why I ever moved away from SM.  Literally zero tangle and it has everything you need. Also light as a feather. Which color scheme did you go with?

Yeah, I might end up being a Sun Mountain lifer...we’ll see! I like the Black on Black/Grey personally! What bag do you have now?

That’s a beauty man. I wish the 4.5 had similar style — it be a no brained for me as a push cart user and rider. I’ve got this old Ping 4 series — I’ve just about had enough of the club tangle

you ever give Titleist bags a shot?

[FairwayFinder11]

What do ya’ll think is the best stand bag out there right now if you primarily use a push cart or ride?

Hoofer or Hoofer Lite depending on how much space you need for storage

if your not carrying and using a good push cart (I do love clicgear and if you add a bag cozy it holds any bag beautifully) I think they all stack up pretty much the same. Titleist, SM,TM, Ping etc. As far as material quality I like Titleist, with TM second.

Which Titleist stand bag do you think is best for pushcart/riding?

I’ve had both.  They’re great bags but the can’t stand the club tangle any longer.

Club tangle on a cart/push cart?  I get 0 tangle

Yeah well I’m using an older 4 series model now. Clubs get snagged every single time. I also have Golf Pride 4 Plus grips so that may have to do with it.  Either way it’s an issue for my clubs.

I used to have that same model but in different color scheme. In my opinion those bags are better than the new players 4 bags. 
 

I saw the Stadry 4 Plus....not sure what to make of it. Feel like the top is still way too tight for me.

You may be right. I like this design so much I was searching on the bay to buy another one:)  all i could find was red, and I don't do red.

Same man. Not into the red unless it’s very subtle.  I sold mine on eBay like an idiot, should have held onto it. Never had any club tangle issues and it had plenty of storage. Now I’ve got this Ping 4 series which I bought on eBay — it looks cool but the tangle is miserable. Messes with the flow of my round. 

[Gsea]

Thinking of maybe this, haven't seen in person so don't know how big the top is

Little bulky but I do like what they’ve done with these. Like the style better than last years version. 
 

Idk man I just may go back to Sun Mountain. I know they don’t tangle and I can get a muted color like all black or all navy

That’s the best color scheme for the current Lites...well done. 

[FairwayFinder11]

Does anyone know where I can find a pre-2019 PING Hoofer 5-way.  There’s a couple on eBay but nothing great. I’m not a fan of the 2020 and 2021 versions.  Thanks all.

I've had the 4 Series you posted above and the 5 way Hoofer you're asking about.  I really liked both, but they're the same size top and interior club space, so if you're getting tangle with that 4 Series I don't see how the Hoofer will be any different.

Everything points back to Sun Mountain for me.

Sounds like you need to check out the 2.5+ and 3.5LS and pick your favorite.  I did a comparison of Hoofer Lite and 2.5+ in this thread (towards end of thread)...

Good question. I was looking at bags for 90% carrying, so wasn’t looking from that perspective at all.

 

Probably the Hoofer Lite and the TM FlexTech look like the ones the most built to fit well on pushcarts and power carts.

My guy above said flextech clubs snag for him.  I have a Lite (4 series) currently and dealing with the snag.

Yeah, to me that’s where Sun Mountain really shines (pun intended)! 🌞

 

Definitely found a lot of club tangle with the FlexTech, FlexTech Lite, OGIO Fuse 4, and heard it’s a major issue with Hoofer Lite also. Not sure about Titleist, but the club dividers look a little tight on those also.

[Asimon03]

Does anyone know where I can get a Taylormade FT or FT lite embroidered? I would like to buy one and get embroidered. I emailed Taylormade and they won't do it for me.

 

Haven't really looked into anything local her, but came across this thread and wanted to ask!

 

Appreciate any suggestions!

 

Thanks!
