Best travel bag/protective case for your high end gear

Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

I`m in the midst of JDM golf heaven, but one minor snag in collecting some gear from TSG. All of the hard travel cases I`ve found have non-TSA locks, and the soft cases, while nice, all have one thing that leaves me worried; no full length support like a rod or other backbone to protect the longer clubs if something comes crashing down on top of the clubs.

Toby, I really should have grabbed a case before coming up here, I know!

Any suggestions?

Cheers,

Kyle

Club Glove sells a "Stiff Arm" which basically goes from the bottom of the case (inside your bag) to the top of the bag. You can drop the case on top of it's head and it won't harm the clubs...

I use a Club Glove Last Bag and it is by far the best bag out there...There are ones slightly bigger and smaller but the concept is the same....It covers your clubs and is easy to move around. I will generally wrap the clubs with a towel as well cause I don't want any excess shaking..It also adds to the support already provided by the bag. I also use headcovers for the irons when I travel...

Airlines won't insure the soft case ones but the fact is the hardcases are such a pain to deal with...the softcase folds away and is easy to store...I've taken my clubs all over the place and have yet to have any problems...

Polymer, thanks for the advice, as the Club Glove plus S. Arm sounds like the way to go. As for airlines, I`ll not say anymore for now. Cheers.

I used Club Glove travelling to and all over Japan a few summers back. Works great. I too used the "stiff arm" you can purchase from them. I even went to the extent of wrapping some of the individual clubs in bubble wrap and used little foam blocks between them as well.

Also, Club Glove has wheels making it easy to get in and out of airports. Even worked well on the trains there in Japan. If you've ever been there you know how crowded and difficult it can be at various times on the trains.

Callaway Hybrid. Has hard top and case. Golf Bag and Travel Bag in one. Not too heavy. Great if you are going someplace and use a cart. If not most courses that prefer walkers, the caddies have carry bags they use...Pebble is that way.
