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.

I bought a hard case to keep it kept in when I travel out state. It's a little heavy but it shouldn't be a problem!

We did not do anything other than put a luggage strap around the case. My husband transported his clubs from KY to Africa this way knowing that it was going to be opened multiple times through customs. Had no issues

It's a pretty sturdy case! I'm sure it could handle some bumping around. But I've seen the way some baggage handlers throw things around. I wouldn't chance it.

Agreed you have to watch the hinge pins, I put my driver on the side but at the center of the case from top to bottom is 48" so your club would need to be in the center of your bag

absolutely! of course, with normal and repetitive use, the bag just might get the signs of normal wear and tear, but I'm confident it'll hang tough. if not, the company has a SUPER return policy. the owner will reach out to you personally to make sure you're satisfied. where else can you get a guarantee like that!?! you've got nothing to lose.

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.

The side protection is not as good as some soft padded cases, but the edge protection is better. It provides no protection from bending. It is not rigid. Putting it in a soft messenger bag would work if you had other flat items in there, but round or blocky items would leave a dent in the sides of the MBA upon impact.

I don't think it's really meant for flights. You will probably want something with metal edges and verticies; an ATA case. This case is great for gigs and packing your van up tight and neat.

No. The metal frame is too rigid and big. You'll also have trouble on most overhead bins. I take a soft side pack on planes.

Danny we easily hauled my son's golf bag with clubs from FL to IA plus quite a lot of other stuff. I do not know how large the 2 small golf bags are so can't address that part. Only issue I have is the top rear crossbar insists on poking through the outside. We put all items except golf equip in large Ziploc travel bags. It is easy to install, remove and store. Jim R

It is probably checkable but soft bag would not protect it. Maybe the airline would store it in the front of airplane like they do strollers! It would b worth asking!

It can if you force it, but then it will look like crap. Better to get a rectangular soft bag (with the correct dimension) anyway. Check WalMart.com they have a HUGE selection of long weapon cases!

My husband and I both have this cart. We have not had any problems with our bags but they are walking bags. The cart is sturdy, you rest the bottom on a platorm and then strap both the bottom and top to the cart. It fits my husband's bag and 12 clubs plus/Ts, balls,towels, and what ever.

I fly with my clubs using the Samsonite all the time. No problems. Depending on how many balls I take and the number of shoes I cram in with my clubs, the fully loaded case typically comes right in at 50 pounds. I have flown on Southwest and US Air without issues.

Good question. I travel a lot for business and the airlines destroy my mid-range luggage, personally If you have a high end tripod, I would get a hard case such as a fishing pole travel case etc, however, you may have to remove the head. This is a good case, however no padding on sides, just ends. Hope this helps.
