I've been playing only six months. I'm happy enough with my starter set for the foreseeable future but the bag that came with it is going to bits. The zips are breaking, it's made of flimsy material, it's a stand bag so it doesn't stay on a push cart straight and my number one pet peeve is the 6 way divider. There's nothing worse than preparing to hit your second after a poor drive going for a club and having every other club in the bag jump out with it because the grips have all tangled and gripped each other.

I know the chances are slim but this looks like a very popular bag so thought I would take a chance and see if anyone here has it and how they find it. It's available for around €120.

I use one if these and find it fine to be honest.

If it's the one in your picture then it's not a stand bag but a cart bag.

I totally misread your OP sorry.

Yes the bag in the picture you posted is the one I use. Great bag with loads of space and pockets for all the bits and bobs.

Not great as in size or it doesn't really do the job? Because I've heard it's the latter that's the problem with a lot of so-called cooler pockets. If it is do you use ice or an ice block with it?

I used one of these but changed a few months back, the valuables pocket zip broke after a couple of months, the cooler pocket is very small and i found that when your putting the clubs back in they get caught in each other at the bottom and when you pulled a club out another one would come half way up with. I changed to a powakaddy bag and find it a much better bag.

But it has full length dividers how could that happen? Are you sure you weren't using the RC10?

No this is the bag, it has 3 full length dividers but the clubs get caught in each other well mine did anyway. One other thing about it soaks the water in like a sponge, grips are soaked by the end of the round its a pity really because it was a nice looking bag

Ah OK well that's one of the things I'm trying to avoid. No point paying extra if you don't get extra.

Hoping to pick a bag up in the states next month. My head was turned by Ogio before.

I bought the taylormade tmx staff bag new for €135. It's the r9/burner one. Old this year but was new model for 2010/11. Fantastic bag a bit big but a real nice job. I'd say I got a decent discount though as I bought new irons and a few bits the same day.

Right finished a round and one of the lads playing ahead of us had one. Short version I ordered one!

Longer version. Limos is quite right it only has three full length dividers but my lad didn't claim to have the same tangle problem. It does have a fourteen way top and I found that at least the clubs each had their own space and so didn't bunch together making it hard to see the one you wanted. The cooler pocket is a waste of time. It's basically like a scorecard pouch made of insulating plastic. It doesn't even zip up. However there's more than enough pocket space so I'll probably continue what I was doing and stick a cooler bag into one of the spare pockets. The ball pocket seals magnetically so there's no messing with zips or zip to break which I thought was cool. The clincher though was that, and without exaggeration, it's FANTASTIC looking! One of the nicest looking bags around. I don't know how good yer man was at golf but he sure as hell looked the biz pushing it down the course. It looks like a tour bag and feels like one too.
