sunmountain three5 or swift x

scotte · February 1, 2011

what do you guys like

i can't make up my mind. I know that I want the bag to look nice but not to flashy. what colors are you guys liking? i am thinking just black, but open to listen to your ideas, I am not a young guy, i don't like puma or nike. I like less flashy more classy things.

Flash, flash, flash! Purple Swift X. Have had it for the last two seasons. Never loose track of it! The color before this one you ask, lime green.

I have a Sunmountain 3-5 in red, white, and blue. The pro at my golf course sold it to me for a great price because he wasn't moving that color bag.

I would throw the zero g in there also. If you want a little bit more of a break carrying you could throw the belt around you...if you think the belt looks ridiculous, just take it off. it is also very light

I have the Titleist 3.5 equivalent. It is mainly charcoal gray with red and black. Great bag. I think that it is last years or the year before. My Dad liked it so much that he got one. The difference, though, is the color. He found a great discount on a color combo that I don't think sold well. It is subtle and different. My Dad usually likes the standard black stuff but ended up liking the navy/fig/silver combo. This is the one on Ebay. This is a great bag if you mostly walk. I have heard that the newer models are more compatible with carts because of the foot mech. Good luck!

Either one. I've owned both, keep the Swift X because was a little lighter and the clubs didn't bang around as much in the smaller bag.

I have the Swift X, which I got as a glorified Sunday bag, thinking I'd use it for quick walking 9s and 18s at the course behind my house. It is so light and functional that it has completely replaced my heavier hybrid bag with a 14-way divider; that thing never gets used anymore. Just an awesome design--feels like nothing when carrying but substantial enough for cart use as well.

By the way: color = black + royal blue; easy to spot in a crowded bag drop area and looks great with the Mizuno irons!

i prefer the 3.5....swift x just wasn't practical enough for me, as it was a tad too small. Because if i was looking for something of that size would just spend half the money and get a ping moonlite or titleist sunday bag, but that's just my opinion

I have both and the 3.5 is a better all around bag. The swift is great if you only walk, but shifts around too much when strapped in a cart. And once you pull the strap on the cart real tight the clubs get tough to pull out. Also, if you use mid sized grips, you will have alot of trouble getting all your clubs into the swift. I keep both bags and use the swift for the range or a walking round. The swift is definitely lighter and seems to hang better on the shoulders.

If you walk a lot, definitely the Swift X. I have the current version with the 8.5" top and I don't use it on carts. Just too much hassle.

The stand mechanism is solid and there's just enough room in the bag for the stuff you NEED while playing. I've seen a lot of them popping up in my walking group since I got mine.
