Mizuno Kabuki or Sun Mountain Four5

turbo4door · March 4, 2011

Currently have a Sun Mountain Four5 that I really like but...

The leg actuator has broken from being put in a cart. I usually walk, but in the few times I have ridden it has now become broken. Sinks to the left and will fall over if I'm not careful. Love that its light and love the pockets. The divider system (14 way) seems to work fine as far as getting clubs in/out.

Getting a new set of MP53's and want to keep them in the best shape I can (yeah, I'm that guy I guess). I don't buy clubs often so want them as nice as I can for as long as I can. Does the Kabuki system work as well as they say for minimizing bag chatter? The Four5 isn't bad, but a few will clank together every now and then. Rather not have to deal with wrapping the towel around them after every shot if I can help it.

Also, how are the Mizzy bags for putting in a cart every now and then? Maybe 15% of my rounds are played with a cart, the rest are walked.

The kabuki system is pretty sweet .. Dont care for the rest of the bag design however.. Last mizuno stand bag i had i returned because the pocket openings were too small.. Well constructed but the pockets and the crazy prints i could do without

The Kabuki system's advantage is in getting your clubs in/out. Won't stop chatter though. Works just fine on a cart.

Kabuki is good.

I recently went from a Four 5 to a Mizuno Twister bag with the Kabuki top...there are pros and cons about each but in reference to the OP two questions my best answer is as follows:

1) Cart - Yes the Mizuno Twister works on a cart...not sure about their other carry bags

2) Chatter - This is one of the reason I switched as I think that the chatter will be less with this bag as the clubs will sit right next to each other within each section of the Kabuki and even though they will touch they will not be swinging around like they did in the 14 divider Four 5 bag (when riding in a cart)...in the SM bag the chatter was out on the toe more and seemed to be pretty bad since the clubs had a lot of room to swing back in forth (due to being in each divider) I felt like the impact was greater and was causing more chatter then I liked.

Also I like the graphics on the Blue & White (Staff) Twister bag, however, I already miss the top handle on the FOur 5 as that made moving the bag around a lot easier.

Hope this helps.

Thanks! Exactly what I was looking for. My Mp-53's just showed up this morning and I want to keep them looking good as long as possible, they are beautiful! I'm with you on the thought of them sitting against each other minimizing the smashing into one another and creating more wear. I hadn't even thought of the top handle issue. That is one of the best things about this Four5 bag and would be sorely missed.
