Now that I'm a convert to an electric trolley, this season I was on the scout for trolley bag that was fit for purpose; by that I mean able to hold my stuff, have a decent hood, water resistant and just be functional and practical without looking oversized.
I thought I wanted something similar to the bag I had at the time, the Mizuno Twister IV. Knowing this I trawled the net and figured it was down to two: Sun Mountain H20 or the Stewart Hybrid bag. The fly in the ointment was that these bags are not readily available in store, mainly Internet only. If I cant feel, then I won't buy. So something else must do...
...where upon I stumbled across the latest Titleist RC11 Cart bag. Being a brand and 'has to look good' snob, this was promising. Still, I was worried it wasnt going to be large enough for my needs. One trip to Direct Golf later I was very impressed with the size, the looks and practicality of it. The cost at DG was £169 but I had seen it on the web for £109 so I asked for a price match...and they gave it to me*!
Why do I think it's great and the best bag I've owned?
- its not too big, half way between a full tour bag and decent stand bag.
- all pockets are very accessible.
- designed for a trolley specifically
- great water resistant material
- very solid in build
- numerous storage pockets
- great ball pocket at front that isn't zipped. It's a spring-like mechanism
- 14 way divider
- looks excellent IMHO
*Only after trying to give my the hard sell on a John Letters bag:
"What about this bag sir?"
"Err, no thanks"
"Why not sir? What is wrong with it?!"
"It's blue and white. I want red and black. And I like the Titleist bag and I don't like that one. Personal preference and all that..." ...roll eyes...
