I took out the Jones bag yesterday for 18 holes. I think the days of single strapping for me are done. I felt really tired and sore going up 18. I missed the double strap for sure. It also might be because it was my 3rd round in 3 days.

dphatt I find I'm okay up to about 9 clubs. If I load more than that in my Mackenzie I find myself rotating between shoulders etc because it gets uncomfortable. Love the simplicity but not always practical if I need to carry a full set (which I usually don't).

    Jaybananapantsarthur The problem I have with that is I never play nine holes and I’m always playing a full bag. Maybe I need to start playing more casual rounds.

      Yup. When I'm full bag I move over too stand bag. Just gets to be too much with the weight, club tangles etc. Even last night, 9 holes, I had 11 clubs and was irritated by it after 5 holes 😄

        dphatt I think I've been doing this wrong....is there a such thing as a non-casual round of golf? My only non-casual rounds of golf are watching your IG content and how good you are 🤣

          I had an SL1 and it didn't last two rounds. Great aesthetics, but that's about it. Terrible strap and short on storage for this type of bag. I'm back to my Ping for now. The SL2 interests me though...

          KentonQ Terrible strap and short on storage for this type of bag.

          The strap is what really got me about the SL1, I mean, what were they thinking when they put something as pliable as a truck tire on as a strap? Everyone told me it would break in, but it never did for me, and subsequently, that bag was gone.

            I don't carry a bag anymore due to neck and shoulder injuries, so in my case the best bag is the Titleist Sta-Dry with the 4-way divider on a push cart.

            It's waterproof, fits on the cart nicely, and has good enough storage to carry all the extras.

            KentonQ the SL1 has becoming my shit weather bag now. It’s kinda useless.

              OffTheDole I'm going to put my hoofer on my Clicgear 3.5+ for my trip upcoming as well... The Mackenzie doesn't sit well on a cart and I'm not always about walking, especially 72 holes in 48 hours.

                ForeLeft you know how to tighten the straps on the 3.5+? My hoofer keeps falling off!

                    GFore daytona. One of the classiest bag ever.

                      magpies I love the GFORE Daytona bag but do you like to walk with it? I want to try and get the Vessel double strap and put that on.

                        dphatt yup, water/weather resistance is one of it's only redeeming qualities.

                            Here are my thoughts on single strap walking bags..

                            Jones player series is the best bang for the buck in my opinion.
                            Great storage, solid spine and comfortable.

                            Mackenzie is also great, I have a ballistic nylon that I game and it's held up great even after sitting with shipsticks for 4 or so days after a monsoon in Bandon. My only gripe with the bag is that the bag twists while carrying it, not sure what about the spine lets it twist but it's pretty annoying.

                            Love the look of my seamus bag but the limitation on pockets and the plain messenger bag strap are huge drawbacks for me. Don't game it as much as I would like for those reasons.

                            oh, I also only carry 10 clubs because I can be amazing and or mediocre with those same 10 sticks so all 3 bags stay pretty light for the most part.
