Stand bag / Cart bag / Tour bag

[evemccc]

Advice sought please..

I have a stand bag but it isn’t quite big enough for drinks, food, waterproof etc and it also doesn’t fit too well with my trolley — it works fine but isn’t ideal

Are cart bags significantly bigger than stand bags and do many trolley users use them vs stand bags in their trolley?

What about Tour bags, do many / any amateurs use them and are they significantly bigger and more useful in trolleys than cart bags? Would I look foolish rocking a Tour bag and playing like a mid-double figure handicapper?

I have a cart bag as I tend to carry pretty much everything I need for on the course. Mine is a Titleist StaDry, and it holds everything I need.
I have a separate stand bag, which I use in the winter but there is a lot more space in my cart bag.

I have a similar set up with the cart bag being a titleist stadry bag and there's an alrigh amount of space in there.
Love the look of the tour bags but with my lack of ability there's no way I'm turning up with one of those on the 1st tee

Ive got a titleist midsize tour bag that i use on a trolley. Its quite heavy but loads of room for everything you need.

Imo Tour bags look the best but there pockets are so tight and have you jamming your waterproofs in.
Cart bags are more flexible and imo better.
Why I’ve got a tour bag is purely on looks.

Unless you are on tour, or regularly use a caddy, tour bags are not a good look.

Tour bags also don't fit on a trolley correctly and you'll have to put them on their side.

Depends on your trolley, I have the mottocaddy m7 trolley and my tour bag fits on it without having to sit it on its side and I can get access to all my pockets.

All miseries trolleys will fit a tour bag.

I've also got a Titleist midsized tour bag. Fits perfectly on my powakaddy. Even has the fitting in the base that keeps it stabl.

Means you can't use one side, but there's more than enough room to mean that's not an issue.

How much stuff do people take with them to require a full size tour bag?

Fair enough if you prefer the looks.

Use a tour bag, no issues, fits fine front on , on a power caddy, plenty of room for waterproofs, jumpers , hats and two drinks pockets. Only downside I've found is my putter is on the short side and rubs shafts of my other clubs, so have stuck an old tube in one of the side pockets and it acts as my putter holder.

I wonder this. I downgraded size-wise (slightly) from a cart bag to a hybrid bag so I didn't have to keep chopping and changing. Lost about half a full length pocket on one side but didn't miss it at all. I wonder what people are cramming in there besides a jacket, jumper, water bottle and a handful of balls. You don't need a whole wardrobe in there.

Look at the Big Max bags, very good size. I've got a trolley bag and a hybrid bag for trips where space is more limited.

Easy for you to say without experiencing all a Scottish summer at a links course throws at you

Another shout for the midsize titleist tour bag. Best of both worlds, all the looks of tour bag but in a smaller more manageable size. As mentioned it has a trolley cut out in the base too
