New "Cart" bag/push cart recommendations-Sun Mountain, Titleist, Callaway??

[glenametz]

After 8 years of faithful service and about 600 rounds, my Clicgear 3.5 and matching cart bag are in serious need of replacement.  They've served me well, but it's time to send them to the "old club holder" section of the basement.  I store my clubs at my club during the season, and have a light carry bag for winter golf and travel.  My pro can order a customized bag from either Sun Mountain, Titleist, or Callaway.  I'm brand agnostic so that won't steer my decision.  I walk/push 95% of my rounds at my home club.  I do have some requirements:

• BIG-Must have room for lots of stuff.  Half dozen balls, spare gloves, snacks, a pullover or two, rain gear, water, scorecards, pill case, multitool, club wrench, umbrella, etc.....
• 14 full length dividers
• Must integrate seamlessly with whatever push cart I purchase
• Weight/Size - I'd like something somewhat lighter (my Clicgear bag was stupid heavy).  I don't do a ton of travel to other local courses, but it would be nice not to pull my back out lifting the combo into the car.  

 

The Sun Mountian C130 (7lbs) looks to be a pretty standard configuration.  Also would match with their carts.  The Cart 15 from Titleist is lighter (6.5lbs) and looks like a good choice as well.  The Callaway Org 14 is the lightest of the bunch (6lbs!!!).  I'm leaning towards the Callaway, but would love some others thoughts/opinions.

 

I'm also going to pick up a new pushcart.  One requirement, it MUST be stable.  My home course has a sizeable hill that comes into play on 6 holes.  I like to let the cart "find it's own path" going down the hill, and looking for something I can let go and watch it roll.  Are 4 wheels more stable then 3?  I'm learning towards another ClicGear, but they are impossible to find in stock anywhere.   Thanks y'all.

I just got the clicgear model 8+ cart. I played one round with it already and it was great. It was an upgrade from the 3.5. I also have the Titleist 14 way stand bag which is a great bag.

clicgear and titleist 15.

Just purchased a clicgear 4.0 a couple months ago and found it works pretty good with my ping pioneer bag. The bag is pretty light and holds everything i need. The only 2 issues i have with it is i wish it had a dedicated putter slot and it can tip over sometimes depending on how I load it up and if the ground isn't perfectly level. Not really looking to upgrade my bag anytime soon but if I did, i'd probably go with an SM c130 or a titleist 15. Love my 4.0 cart... there were plenty of times i sent it forward down a hill without it tipping over. Wish i had bought one sooner in fact

I love my Walker Trolley for full sized (and less than full sized) bags - simple, elegant and so very retro cool - its certainly helped me hide my golf deficiencies since it looks (and performs) so well 😉

I have a bagboy cart with the 'toplock' system and a Datrek bag with the same system (Bagboy also makes bags with 'toplock').  Maybe not top-of-the-line stuff, but makes it simple to load and unload the bag, and works for me.

I don't know anything about Datrek bags, but I like my BagBoy Quad XL a lot.  Sturdy, simple to fold and unfold.  Very stable.  I also like how the bag sits more upright.  I had the opportunity through a gift program at work to get a new BagBoy Quad for free.  I got one and sold the Clicgear.  Won't look back.

 

I was a long time Clicgear 3.5+ user.  Their carts are bullet proof IMO.  They work well.  However, I never liked how stand bags with a foot to kick the legs would work on the 3.5+.  They would always squirm and twist.  A flat bottom bag like the Ping Hoofer/TM Flextech works great on the Clicgear.

 

My current bag (Nike Air Hybrid II) has a foot.  Never an issue on the BagBoy.  It sits and never moves.

 

Clicgear is great, but I like the BagBoy Quad better.
