Liners Teared

[RDSChicago]

I have a Titleist stand bag with 14 dividers. The liners teared so clubs often stick and literally go into one or more of the accessory pockets including the full length side pocket. The bottom ball pocket teared so my balls which fall through are literally somewhere unreachable at the bottom of the bag. Time for a new bag. I want sturdy and durable where the same thing won’t happen again. Will full length club dividers prevent this from happening? I mostly use a push cart. Any suggestions?

I had this happen with my 1st generation Nike Air Hybrid. It seems like they didn't hem the dividers (the dividers were full length), so, I was pulling out threads along with my golf clubs. From what I can gather, the issue was fixed in subsequent versions. There isn't any guarantee, that your bag won't fall apart, but, heavier bags tend to be more durable than lightweight bags, ymmv

As another fond of the push cart, wish I could give the best answer, as once the bag is in it, it is likely slanted considerably more than when riding vertical in the back of a golf cart.

The angle makes for the wear and Tear. My Bennington Q0-12s held up great inside in 1 bag now on 11 yrs. The other I had to retire to the garage this season as its interior hard case had cracked & caved into my full length club divider paths. I was a good 7-8 yrs b4 I noticed that one.

Other manufacturers that make full length with lock-type tops may also work better for tear prevention on a push cart. Consider ones from Bag Boy, Founders Club, and Ogio. The costly Benningtons are sturdier elsewhere than most.
