Hybrid bag or pure Cart bag?

I’m looking at a new bag, hoping to catch an end of the year/black Friday deal. I’ve come to the realization that I ride 95% of the time now and the light w...

DonM I do use oversized grips, so you think it’s better to have the dividers for them?

DC300 Personally I like the dividers for bigger grips. But if you buy online, try to find out if they are full length. If they only go halfway down, that sucks. Possibly makes it worse than a 5 way top. Maybe that's the kind of experience that @azgreg has had.

When I say full length, they still actually stop 2 or 3 inches from the bottom.

Walterjn If I was going to buy a brand new bag I'd probably go with this one.

My oldest son and his wife both have the cart bag version of these. They like them. If I remember right, they each have a different course designated on the bag, One is Pebble Beach and the other one is different, but I can't remember what it is. Maybe it's Spy Glass but I'm not sure,

sdandrea1 I have the Pioneer bag. 14 divided slots, PLUS putter well. Also, far too many pockets, migawd. 😄I've been thinking up items just to put in them.

2019 Ping Traverse on sale.

Ynotgolf That is my newer one. While it has 14 dividers on top, it does not have them going down the bag. The middle 4 holes are one undivided group, the front and back putter wells are on their own, and then each side is its own undivided group. It's not what people expect from a 14 way bag. I hope they have gone back to doing it the right way again.

KCee I went from a hybrid stand bag to a cart bag about 5 years ago. My reasoning was that I either used my push cart or rode in a cart for tournaments so I might as well have extra room. That worked well except, as you say, when going to the range. I learned my lesson to just lay the cart bag down.

I did the same as Kev, only have Cart Bags filled at this point. I ride mostly when I play. I don't go to the range enough and when I do go, I just set up my push cart and put the bag on it. Tedious, but effective, if spending the extra time wouldn't bother you.

One neat thing about the Ping Traverse is that inside each long side pocket, there is a zipper that lets you into the interior of the bag. So when you drop your divot tool or something into the hole, you don't have to take the clubs out and turn the bag upside down to get it. You might never use it but if you do, you love it.

Maybe that is all Ping bags?

It also enables you to stick a shop vac hose in there to clean out the leaves and junk.

If you only have 1 set of clubs and you ride 95% of the time then I would suggest you just go with the cart bag. You're sure to find one with everything you want, and you can always use a push cart with it for the other 5% of the time that you walk. Only issue with it is going to the driving range.

I have 2 sets of club that I alternate regularly, and I walk 95% of the time. I have a hybrid bag for one set because sometimes I like to carry (9 holes only), and a cart bag for the other set to go on my Clic-Gear. The hybrid bag still works on the Clic-Gear when necessary because it is a little wider than most stand bags. When I carried more often I had a stand bag instead of the hybrid bag, but almost never used it on the Clic-Gear because it moved around too much.

Ping Traverse is a good bag too. I have owned one as a cart bag for a number of years.

What do you do when you walk? Carry or push? If you only walk a few times a year it's easy enough to swap out and keep your other bag for that or just deal with the clubs sitting the wrong way. That's what I do but in the other respect, 90% walk - 10% ride. When I ride they are the wrong way but it's no big deal, I rearrange a few of them for ease of use. My buddy who has the same walk ride ratio as me has a cart bag and has them arranged for riding🙃. The Datrek Lite Rider seems to be a good value and appears.to have more.of a neutral top to work ok for both (if you push).

ode Datrek makes a good bag for the money too...

ode What do you do when you walk? Carry or push?

Walking with spare bag (made for pull cart) and spare clubs.
Riding with cart bag and gamer clubs.
Tour bag at home with extra extras in it.
What's the big deal?

ode I’ll probably just keep the bag I have now for the rare opportunity to walk. It’s not my favorite, but it will be fine for a round.

Spuzz lol that works too!

All ya need.....

I have a brand new, never used one. I may work on removing the wheels, etc. this winter. The bag itself is like nothing I've ever found. Clubs will never move around in the slots; lock at top and the grip end is locked in also. But clubs are easily removed.

Eguller Maybe one of the best cart bags out there now. I have a 2 year old model - new one is slightly diff.

Do you ever use this with a push cart? If so, how does it work for you?

I walk most of the time and use a Ping Moonlight, but that’s usually at my short 9 holer. I’m interested in a cart bag so long as it would also work on a push cart.

Spuzz

Jelopster I’m interested in a cart bag so long as it would also work on a push cart.

In general, unless it's the giant size tour bag, a cart bag will work on a push/pull cart.
It's the carry/stand bags that sometimes have issues, as they aren't round.
They are usually oval or triangular which means they are almost impossible to align them properly on a cart.

Eguller

Jelopster Do you ever use this with a push cart? If so, how does it work for you?

I use it with a Hillbilly USA electric trolley. It fits nicely, but any well designed small or mid sized cart
bag should be fine with a standard or electric push cart. The PING was well designed and easy to use.

I am looking at new bags and I can't believe the price! I have been using a Team Sports 14 way cart bag for the past 10
years and it is starting to show its age a little more than I like. Zippers are breaking and material is starting to rip in places. I would ideally like the same exact bag but the new ones are close to $250. I paid $122 when I got it.

Mattyv

Ok. I just picked this up off Ebay today for $140. Slightly used and the seller agreed to a local pickup that saved me $45 in shipping. Hopefully I get 10 years out of this one.
