Looking for larger stand bag

tim_harris · February 27, 2020

I'm looking to get a new bag. I very rarely walk other than one of the par 3 courses by me and everything else is in a cart but I like having a stand for when at the range. Looking for a larger stand bag that is NOT a 14 way....not sure why but can't stand those. Right now I'm looking at the Sun Mountain 5.5 or the Vessel Player 2.0 but am open to others so figured why not see what GolfWRX thinks is the best option...

I’m interested in topic as well. I’m looking for the same thing (for a push cart) and I’m leaning towards the Sun Mountain C130s even though it is a 14 way. It has a good putter well at least. I also like the SM 5.5 and Titleist Hybrid 5.

Shame you said no 14s. Ping has a Hoofer 14 on sale right now for $190.

It's hard to recommend anything other than the Sun Mountain 4.5. The 4-way top is 10" but feels larger, super comfy straps and has a cart strap pass through. Pockets are numerous and all in the right places. I don't think you get much out of the older 5.5 versus the 4.5.

Check out the Hoofer Tour. Great looking larger stand bag with a 5 way top. Out of stock but back in August, according to this thread:https://forums.golfwrx.com/discussion/1810295/ping-hoofer-tour-on-sale-now#latest

I’ve got the cobra vessel collaboration from last year which I really enjoyed. It is a very large bag for a stand bag in my opinion. I like that as I do enjoy a staff bag and this is that combo/hybrid type bag. I didn’t have any issues the times that I carried and it was a great single strap large bag with a stand option for riding and at the range. I would consider myself a bag ho more than anything as I buy new and different bags all the time. I did get a new bag for this year but the cobra bag isn’t going anywhere and I know it will make plenty of appearances this season.

I have had 2 5.5 bags. Wish SM would have kept making them. The size is great, the pocket size and configuration works perfectly for me, my ONLY complaint is the umbrella holder. It seems my umbrella slips out every time I carry it somewhere. It doesnt take much to put back in but its just the small hassle. I think they could have used a long sleeve attached to the apparel pocket and made this bag perfect. Other than that, this is my fav bag I have owned.

Titleist Hybrid 5 would be one to look at.

The TM FlexTech bag is one to check out along with the SM 4.5 like previously mentioned. I saw the Titleist Hybrid 5 this weekend and it also looked very nice. I picked up the FlexTech in one of the Lifestyle prints and am truly happy with it. Returned an SM 4.5, which traditionally is my preferred bag.

Appreciate everyones feedback. Ended up going with the SM 5.5 since the 2019 bags were on sale....it just came in and is definitely big which is what I was looking for. Will be interesting to see what I think of it once I get it out on the course....come on time change I'm ready for some 9 hole rounds after work
