types of bag

[shanegolf]

hello all i have been playing golf for just over a year now and am currently using a stand bag on a trolley, however i am very keen to change to a pencil bag. i am just wondering if anyone has any experience of using pencil bags and could give me any advice thanks.

I have found pencil bags much smaller....

i am just wondering whether they can hold a full set of clubs or not.

 

[SammmeBee]

They can but don't expect to carry anything more than 3 balls and some tees, otherwise the pockets expand and the whole lot or none at all will come out....

not usually, bit crowded. I would suggest a small stand bag instead, mizuno renegades are same price as pencil bags now in nevada bobs an perfect as a small bag for 9 holes

I used a Titleist pencil bag last year when just nipping out for an evening knock.

Eventually got a bit knarcked off with constantly trying to jam my clubs in between holes, and picking it up off the floor.

I'm now using a small Titleist stand bag which is far better IMO, The pencil bag is somewhere on the garage floor.

how many clubs in your opinion could it hold

 

[beggsy]

they can hold all your clubs but i would think you would need to regrip your clubs more often with how tight it will be

If you want a pencil bag then I suggest just taking a 1/2 set of clubs. If you want to take the full set out I'd look for one of the small and lightweight carry bags arounds

thanks everyone for all the advice

I take it your looking at carrying instead of using the trolley. In which case there are plenty of lighter stand bags, what are you using at the moment?

have often carried a full set in pencil bags, dont see the need for a "small stand bag" personally. Would avoid the callaway and recommend the sun mountain double strap

I have a Callaway pencil bag, which has quite reasonable pocket space for its size. I think you could get a full set in but don't think I'd try - I have a stand bag or trolley bag for that.

tbh not having a means to support the pencil bag was the reason I bought a stand bag
