Titleist Linksmaster Members Bag- In Hand Pics

[MK7Golf21]

its mentioned a few times in the best stand bags of 2020, I look into all current stand bags when shopping.

Does anyone have more information on the canvas bags? Weight/cost vs standard? They look great in the catalog.

Got my Linksmaster Members bag today.

First impressions are great. Super well built and high quality fixtures. Fabric looks like leather, but softer to the touch. Seems like it will be way to keep clean

it’s significantly smaller than the Sun Mountain 4.5 I’ve been carrying, but it fits everything I need comfortably. Club tangle isn’t a huge issue, but it’s not quite as easy getting clubs in and out as the 4.5 (which I expected given the size difference)

I haven’t played a round with it yet, but loaded it up and it seems well balanced and carries well.

Not cheap, but seems to be pretty good value for money in my book

That white bag is nice!

My club got a bunch of these in and I’m so close to pulling the trigger they are beautiful. Certainly heavier than my other bags and I definitely don’t need another bag but they are so pretty...

[mljones99]

I've really enjoyed mine so far.

[ND2005]

Was quoted 7/1 for the canvas and it came in yesterday so pretty accurate

For those with these bags at caddy clubs, how do caddies find the weight? Any complaints compared to Stitch/lighter Titleist or equivalents?

[fundustrial]

I really don’t need another bag but they really look darn good.

[gambit]

Can't speak for caddies, but I have the caddy bag and for me it's very easy to carry. It balances very well and feels lighter than it actually weighs. I don't think caddies will have any issues unless you like packing a couple dozen balls for a round.

My clubs caddies love them. Easier to carry than my sun mountain 4.5 14-way.

[fundustrial]

Thank you!

As a caddy, the weight of a bag isn't really a problem (assuming they're within 2-4 lbs of each other). Everyone is obsessed with weight, but to me it comes second to comfort and balance of the bag. My issue with them is they always sit at a weird angle instead of sitting flat against the back/hip. Last round I moved around the straps and experimented with clipping them to different loops, with very little success. Whenever I double the most comfortable bag does on my left side. The linksmaster almost always goes on the right. IMO it's Ping >>> Sun Mountain > Titleist.

[fundustrial]

Thanks for the comments all. Couldn’t resist and ended up pulling the trigger on a white (really off-white) bag ?

[gambit]

Just carried today and no issues at all.

Just adding: I've gamed the bag a couple of times and my one gripe is the bottle pocket on the members bag. Doesn't seem to fit anything really well, despite being quite large. Perhaps it's not meant for bottles and that's where I've gone wrong. Apart from that though, literally the best bag I've used. Looks great, decently light, and fully functional.

I’ve had mine for a few weeks and do really like it. As mentioned, water bottle slot is a tad small so for those with big flasks may be a tight fit. I really like the 3 way divider l. The off white color looks amazing, but probably not as practical as a darker color.

The bag is definitely heavier, however the only time I really noticed was playing Bethpage Black from the blues; was drained once I got home.

In doing my research, is there a difference in material of the white vs the black? It looks as if the black/hunter green/navy/slate are more of a "grainy" leather-like look vs a smoother look in the white. My club only has the white/navy in so I don't have anything to compare it to.

[mljones99]

my navy bag is pretty smooth... at least in my opinion

[Ereim]

I don't think so. I've seen most colors in person, and I can't tell a difference in the feel between the white and the rest.

[squashgta]

Great bag but mine was a bit heavy/clunky.

[eyeeye]

I had the bag for about 2 months now, and it's great.

I mean, if I was looking for a super light weight bag, I wouldn't even consider this. It's never gonna be lighter or even the same weight as the Stadry (It's the same design except for 1 pocket). Is it heavy? Of course not. It's a small bag. If I wanted a super light bag to carry all the time, I would just get Jones.

I don't understand why the weight is such a big issue for some. It's a light weight bag for having a leather look. Imagine how heavy your bag would be if it was full leather.

Also, if the material was thinner, I wouldn't be happy with the stretches it would make near the handle and such, so I'm very happy with the material overall.

It is not flexible though, so it does make that water bottle pocket almost unusable like nicklanimator mentioned. You probably can fit the disposable plastic bottle water you buy, but not your own reusable bottles.

[mattminyii]

I am considering getting one of these, since a few clubs around me have access to the bags. I haven't previously carried, but have found a stand bag will be more convenient for driving range/practice duties than my heavy duty cart bag. I just want to know, have any issues been found with the synthetic leather when being strapped into a pull buggy?

I've had mine for a couple months now, great looking bag and get a lot of compliments on it.

I own two Titleist bags (old Players 4, new Hybrid 5) with the same water bottle pocket design and it's terrible. If you put anything in the lower pocket, it blocks the water bottle pocket. You have to use that pocket for only gloves or something like that. Sun Mountain's design that starts higher on the pocket is better, and Ping's design that is outside of that side pocket is better too. It's one thing I wish they'd change about Titleist bags.

[eyeeye]

I hang my towel like that too. First time seeing someone else do it. 718 CBs look good in them.

[Florida Gator]

I hang the club/ball towel from the ring and the sweat towel from the handle.

 

how is that clip on speaker?

[AtlantaGolf3]

Is that the smaller “caddy” bag? Looks slick. Does it fit all 14 clubs with ease? Tangle?

Also- does that model have a little, soft valuables pocket?
