So it seems that the new trend has been to move the external putter well from the side of the cart bag to the front on new models. I am not a fan. The issue I am having is that having the well on the front makes the depth of the well greater than that of the putter, which means the putter is hanging by the putter head.

hilmar2k

My recollection of bags with this well (I don't care for them, so I never looked closely) was that the bags generally have 14 slots AND a well. That leaves 15 spots for 14 clubs. Did the wells start out as places for umbrellas, but people used it for putters instead?

Alignment sticks and Orange Whip in mine. I would suggest that you put a plug of some kind so the handle is supported there by lifting the head up for easy grasping.

I'm not really a fan of putter wells to begin with. I think, though, that putting them on the side means they can interfere with the straps and things on push carts. Or on a driving cart, can get stuck between the two bags. Putting them on the "front" makes sense to me.

I'm looking for a new bag, mosly because I don't like my clubs "sharing" and THINK I want an individual slot for each club. Before I spend a couple hundred bucks though, what are some of the downsides to this? Am I being stupid and should I stick with the bag I have (6 or 8 compartmetns, I think).

lumpuckeroo

I prefer a bag with 14 slots, I currently use an Ogio bag (don't remember the model), that I would call a hybrid, it's got most of the features of a traditional cart bag, but lighter than a carry bag. I use it on a ClicGear 2.0 push cart and find it is a great fit.

rkim291968

Clubs can get stuck even with 14 dividers. So, I use tubes on some slots that I can get my clubs easily in and out.

iHack

I find ogio bag's wood system ideal. 4 slots for driver 3 wood n 2 hybrids 1 larger slot for putter and 3 sections stacked like stadium seating. Longest section get 5-6-7 middle section gets 8-9-p and smallest gets 50-56-60. It's keeps clubs very organized and easy to find. The individual 14 slot bags I find are cumbersome.

tristanhilton85

I like the 14 way bags… I used to have an Ogio bag with the woode system and that was good but I still find the 14 way better. It keeps the clubs exactly where I want them. I've used both the Sun Mountain Four 5 as well as the Titleist 14 way stand bag (essentially a SM with the Titleist logo) and those were my favorite stand bags.

inthehole

I like the organization of every club having its own slot. Can't stand clubs all thrown in a 4 or 6 slot bag...

jamo

I had one for a while (Nike Sasquatch ... Tour? maybe). The only downside was the weight. Also, you should try to look for bags with the dividers that go all the way down so the grips don't stick together.
