In the market for a new carry/stand bag.
Just wondering what people are recommending out there- willing to spend ~$200 on it.
Need something light but quality, especially the stand legs.
I was looking at the Callaway XTT Xtra-Lite Stand Bag. Anyone have any comments/experience with it?
Thanks in advance!

I love my TM R7 bag (the 2007 version). Pretty light and has a ton of pockets.

Another vote for Ogio! If you want light weight, Vaporlite. If you want a bit extra, Grom. They are awesome!

I just got a Titleist Japan carry bag shipped over via ebay - it is awesome! Looks cool (white) has every feature you can imagine, Izzo strap system, and light!

Ping X Treme Stand Bag, Light, balances nice, has an insulated bottle holder, enough pockets to carry what you need. The retractable shoulder strap is a great feature. Easily handles 14 clubs.
$199.00

I would suggest going with the Edge, simply because of the Hoode Rain Cover. If you ever play in the rain, you'll really appreciate this feature.
I like the club management system, the zipperless ball pocket, and the rain cover the best. Ogios also have many nice touches that you really will appreciate.

I am partial top the Ogios as well...
there are some great deals on ebay from places like Rockbottom...get a year or 2 old model..
I got a new vaporlite for $69 and an Exo Juice for $89 last year
GT has a ton of bags but to spend $220 is a bit much IMO

I have had this bag since the start of the season. I have gone on two golf trips with it and played about 30 rounds with it thus far and it's still trucking along great. All the straps, zippers, clasps, etc... are in mint condition. I have walked for about 18 of those rounds and I keep a lot of crap in my bag so it's pretty heavy.
The only issue I have with it is that when you set the bag down, the legs don't extend out far enough and I usually have to pull the back back so the legs are fully extended. I have a feeling that this is only my bag though as I have played with someone that has the same bag and their legs extended fully very easily.
My 2 cents.

I have an Ogio bag as well and absolutely love it. If you're in the area you might want to check "WINNERS" as they actually have some golf gear. I bought the bag at Winners for $89. The same bag at golf town was selling for $179. They also had another Ogio bag selling for $69

I just bought the Nike Sasquatch Tour carry bag. Well made, pretty light, and th legs can be locked for use in a cart as well...sharp looking to, with full length dividers for all the clubs.
