I purchased the Linkmaster about a month ago and have experienced the same issues. Both walking and riding. The clubs fit tight, and when I set the bag down on its legs it like shoots the irons in the middle section up like 2 inches, which drives me crazy.
It’s by far the best looking bag on the market (IMO), I have received compliments each round. My brother in law even said it looked like really expensive luggage which I thought was funny yet accurate. I just purchased the white Vessel VLX because the 4 way divider intrigued me as well and it looks like it has a little more room.
I will report back once I receive it and see if it is any better or worse than the Titleist bag!
