I’ve got a Taylormade tour bag and love it. Wasn’t massively expensive. Only downside is that it isn’t waterproof, so I just got a powakaddy cover for it. Plenty of room in there so no issue having the cover in all the time.

Tour bags tend not to fit very well on trolleys making 1 or 2 pockets inaccessible and you always get wear Mark's on the sides because they aren't designed for a trolley. I'd go for a cart bag every day of the week personally

This is why I’m asking the question ,I see lots using them but are they practical for use with the trolley

I have just bought a Motocaddy M1 trolley because the shape of it allows full access to all the pockets on my tour bag. I prefer the tour bag for 2 reason, first is that I hate 14 club dividers and second is that they all seem to cause bag rub on graphite shafts whereas tour bags tend to have a softer velvety material where the shaft rests. The Powakaddy FX range of trollies also allow good access.
Personal choice but tour bag for me every time.

use a full size tour bag on a Trolley for the last 8 year no issues. never had issue with pockets though i do have a wear mark on the bit that touches the bag, pretty much get everything i need in the back for all weather conditions. They are shower proof to an extent, but heavy rain does leak in sometimes.

Ive also got a titleist 'mid size' bag like the above poster, which is shaped like a tour bag but designed to fit on a trolley. Best bag ive ever had.

Best of both worlds - looks like a tour bag but its not really heavy and the pockets are designed for trolley access.

I think its full name is 'midsize staff cart bag'.

A lot of these designs about now and I think they're the best compromise. I really love the Titleist version and it's as close as possible to a full blown tour bag and looks the business. The DLX I use is the same sort of design although Ping haven't gone down road of making it a mini version of their tour bag but another functional bag
