shiftless Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 Let me preface this by saying that the current crop of tour staff bags are simply gorgeous. But what about J-spec import bags for riders? I'm not looking for a debate regarding the merits of walking a golf course. Personally, I would never lug one of those beauties myself for 18 holes. Simply looking for an import cart (not stand) bag that is functional, beautiful, and protects all the ho equipment I'm starting to accumulate. I know there is a lot of domestic stuff available; Sun Mountain, Datrek, Ogio, Bag Boy, manufacturers, etc. But there's no pizzazz to these offerings. Putting my stuff in one of these bags feels like drinking a 1970 Chateau Margaux out of a paper cup. I was using a Omega bag, but the structural metal dividers make me real nervous...I think that they are responsible for the scratches on my Axiv shafts that are in contact with them. Using an Ogio now but feel that there has to be something better out there. Or maybe riding is rare on Japan courses so there's no need or demand for high-end cart bags....Anyone?

idrive Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 I have to say I feel a bit the same as you do. Love all the bags but they just aren't that funtional on a Golf cart. I have been meaning to say something... We need a good Cart bag .. or two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blader-X Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 I think one reason you don't see a whole lot of cart bags from the JDM's is that in Japan while just about all take carts, the carts over there are different than you find in the States. In Japan cars seat four people, with the bags in the back all lined up next to each other at about a 30 degree angle or so. The carts are automatic and stay on a path. You operate it with a remote control. So I think that is why you see more of the higher end staff bags. Old leather bags are popular over there as well. I found these carts to be the case at each of the four courses I played there a couple summers back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gocchin Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 Almost all bags in Japan are classified into two categories, stand bag and caddy bag. While some could pass as cart bags for sure, there aren't really any classified as cart bags. Tell me what you're looking for in a JDM cart bag and I will track it down. If it exists, TSG can get it.
