The airlines are quite rough and throw bags around. Will longer clubs end up getting bent since the case is soft?

I am 6' 4" and have pretty long clubs. I have only used the bag once. I didn't have any problems with the condition of my clubs. I had one transfer on a coast to coast trip. I was very pleased. Obviously one trip is not a very comprehensive test.

This is a great bag and fits my oversize golf bag and long clubs nice and snug. As for your questions, it could be possible so I also purchased the Club Glove Stiff Arm Travel Club Protector. it is another $30 but works great. I have flown several times now even coast to coast and bag and clubs arrived safe and sound. Good luck!

I wouldn't want to try again with soft top. it can be broken the driver easily

I had no issues. My clubs were in my golf bag and I use bubble wrap as a buffer between the exposed shafts. There is an external strap which tightens to immobilize any club movement.

You need to further protect your long golf clubs with a Club Glove Stiff Arm or Bag Boy Backbone inside the travel bag. Amazon has both. I own both, and always use one or the other when my clubs are going to be handled by TSA or the airlines. I learned a tough lesson years ago when the graphite shaft on my driver was snapped in two inside a padded-top travel bag. You need the Stiff Arm or Backbone in addition to the travel bag.

I can only speak from my own experience. I had a few long and expensive drivers in my bag. All came through without any sign of damage or deformation. I doubt that the baggage handlers were particularly kind to my luggage and am assuming that this bad did the job nicely.

We bought 2 for our trip and held up great. If you have a good sturdy golf bag I belive your clubs will be fine, we had no problem. Hope this helps you.

If you pack it in the middle....no problem. If you pack on top it may get punctured if using a soft sided luggage.

My concern would be the edges of the prism ruining the duffel bag.http://roneibschutz.com/

No. With a disclaimer. The pack folds over your carrier and has two very sturdy plastic boards inside the bag to keep it straight and away from the machinery. The hooks on the inside area of the bag attach to the carrier frame. The only concern I would have would be the age of the rubber that is used to connect up the hooks. If that got old or cracked the hook might become loose or break off and get caught up. It's a small hook so you would be unlucky if it brought you down. Like all things mechanical - a quick check before you hook it up and you'll be fine.

I put a full set of clubs in the bag plus there was still room for clothes or other small items. Real nice case and very easy to roll around the airport or any hard surface and you can tip it and pull it too. Very happy with the purchase.

Answer is maybe, it isnt the most shallow of bags, on my trip i defiantly had to worry about one side slipping down and resting on the exhaust. Now on my trip one side was packed much heavier than the other, because i put all the tools on one side. But overall, i loved the bag, well worth the money.

yes you put regular bag and clubs along with shoes etc.. big and holds lots. it is soft side so i also bought the stiff arm to go inside to protect clubs. works great and have flown coast to coast with and clubs sill in good and works great.

It's pretty stiff and it has straps on the inside like a suit case to secure your stuff. I've had mine for couple a years and best bag I've ever owned and I've been through a bunch! Hope this helps...safe travels!

Marilynoz, I am sure that this carrying case will work just fine for you. The case is soft, but both ends of the case are semi-firm. Just enough so that the case retains it shape, but flexible enough that you can collapse the ends down to fit under seat in front you. My two Shih Tzus did well, on their first flight. An international 6.5 hour flight, not including the long wait at the airport needed for international hops. My dogs are 8 and 9lbs and I opted for a separate carry bag for both of them. But your kitties might be able to tolerate one anthers company in the same carry case on a less lengthy journey. Happy Travels!!

I have taken such bikes in the soft nylon duffle bags and checked them as luggage. 3/4 times everything was fine, 1/4 (Southwest Air) banged it up, bending the chainring a bit. It still works. If there were a way to make a same size cushioned/stiffer bag, then I would say it would be fine.

I used the case for my 17pound dog and found the zipper to not be strong enough for me to let it out of my site.i would ask airline if you have that ?.good luck

Absolutely! As long as your duffle bag is 18inches long, it will fold right up! Great exercise!

Hello JADM. I am a golfer who has played many times while traveling. I've owned hard-shell travel cases which did the job but the Club Glove is the best one I have ever owned. It handles the longer drivers of today while providing excellent protection for all my clubs. I would purchase the Club Glove Stiff Arm as well as it provides additional protection for your driver. Further, I would also purchase the 47inch bag since that will hold any driver of today. It is an excellent choice and I am sure the person you gift it too will be very happy.

I think it is fine for transporting locally, but the case is not rigid. I think a hard case would be safer for international flight.

I have a standard size cart bag with 14 clubs, no problem fitting it in the case.

It is easy to fold and could be "squished" within limits. The dimensions of the laptop carry-on bag would be a determining factor.

I'd say so. I have a 15" and had to add a few inches of padding to keep it from sliding back and forth. I travel a fair amount ( a couple flights a week) and this bag is holding up better than any bag I've owned. Sets easily on top of a roller bag so its one-handed through the airport. Plenty of pockets to keep even the most OCD happy.
