Titleist 14-way divider carry bag or Premium Carry Bag?

[sheldonjhacker]

Which one would you get?

14-way divider really a good thing?
Premium is a bit heavier 6.8 lbs versus 14-way at 6.2 pounds. What do ya think is the best choice? thanks

I can give you a couple pros and cons. I myself have the Sun Mountain Four-5 bag, which is the same thing as the Titleist. I have now used it for a full season and have adjusted to it, because it IS different to use.

Pros
each clubs has it's own spot
clubs stay in the order you put them in
selecting a club is quick
easy to realize if you're missing a club
looks sweet too

Cons
clubs can be hard to get in at times (ie: if cart strap is too tight, or if you aren't going straight in)
putting clubs back in takes a tiny bit longer, just to find the right slot.
orientation when on a cart is backwards, so usually turn sideways.

My opinion- 14-way is great. I like to keep my stuff well organized. Go with the Four-5. Could save you a few bucks I think. Plus- doesn't make you gravitate townes one brand of clubs.

Theres really not much else to say.... he pretty much nailed it for you in 1 post
I have the 2012 Titleist 14 way bag and I cant add much more than what he said.

The above post sums up the four5 bag quite well. I on the other hand am not a fan of 14 way dividers. I play mid-sized grips on all of my clubs and the openings are a little snug for easy in and out.
I played the SM three5 for the better part of last year and it was a good bag. I just wanted a little more room for stuff. I picked up a Titleist Premium late in the season and it is a great bag. I get the little extra room I was looking for and my mid sized grips go in and out with no problems.
I do wish SM made a version of this bag for themselves, as I do not carry a single Titleist club or ball for that matter. But I could really care less, because this bag is as close to perfect as I have found.

I looked at the premium vs 14-way and ended up with a SM Four 5 myself.
I wanted less club tangle, but it's not like I really needed the dedicated 14 slots.
I thought the premium at 7 slots would be a good compromise, but the weight really turned me off.

The premium also fits in the SM v1 cart very well
