Best carry bag for midsize grips?

[ephmen]

For those who play midsize grips, what carry bags do you find best to minimize grips getting jammed and hard to pull a club?
Thanks!

I'll be following this thread. I have a titleist StaDry that's 2 years old, and I def get my midsize grips snagging and clubs not wanting to come out.

 

In the meantime, I've wondered if there would be more or less grip-snagging if I were to cut out the dividers material that runs down to the bottom of the bag. Anyone have any thoughts on that?

Try a bag with 14-way dividers.  They are great for keeping clubs from getting tangled in the bottom.

Sun mountain 2.5+ is what you need. I have several bags (titleist players 4 carbon, regular, Mizuno brd3..) None accommodated a full set with mid sized grips.

 

Bonus is that the SM 2.5 is super light …I am a walker.

Can't do it. I often carry extra clubs to range, orange whip, etc.

Wondering this same thing.  I play grips in between midsize and jumbo (midsize with a couple extra wraps).  I have  a Hoofer Tour (unused) that I keep clubs in.  Grips get caught in it.  I also have a DLX cart bag that I do use.  One club or so at a time isn't bad but sometimes the grips will hit each other on the bottom when putting one in and it will make it slightly more difficult to get the club in--it is annoying more than anything else.

I found the holy grail in my garage. Sun Mountain 5.5 Ls from a few years ago. 11 inch 4 way top. Holy smokes. So much better than anything else I have tried. Not sure why I went away from it!

Vessel Player IV Pro Stand with the 14-way divider.  The bag exists solely to accommodate midsize/oversize grips.

Vessel player 3 here.  14 midsize grips in the full length 6 way top.

 

No issues.

From what I’ve had recently Mizuno’s are not good for midsize and the Nike hybrid 2 is a little better not great.

I have both the vessel player 3 (6 way) and the Titleist LinksLegend (4 way) and play +4 midsize grips. The linkslegend, while a smallish bag, is the best I've ever used as far as no tangle ease of club removal.

The sun mountain ones with 14 way have a larger spot for the driver which usually accommodates my extra club or two I'll bring to the range.  Along with an extra shaft and alignment sticks.  The putter spot is big enough for a few too if you dont mind putting it with your putter

Sun Mountain 3.5. Tangle free for sure. 4 way top. Bonus that it’s light, durable and great carry straps.

Ping Hoofer lite works great for me , and my Jones Utility Rover is good as well.

Ping Hoofer 3, the GOAT of all the Hoofers and frankly all carry bags. Come on Ping, bring this design back! I know, not very helpful, this bag is something like 20 years old now. I have one left and it’s getting pretty worn. 
 

In this thread for suggestions….I use JumboMax grips so club tangle is a pain. 14 way dividers typically make for a hell of a heavy carry bag, but may not have much choice.

I play midsize grips and have no issues with my Jones Rover R bag. Once or twice a round there might be some friction putting a club back in but overall it’s just easy in and out.

There will ALWAYS be stubborn clubs with at size grip. A likely solution is 14 way divider but I/m not a fan of those. I use a Jones utility stand and they all fit with some occasional stubbornness. I also use a Stitch SL2

He uses the sun mtn 3.5 ls...light, good straps, stands up mostly.

Jones Original Carry bag. Less material on the inside, larger dividers. Looks cool. Cheap. Get it.
