In the makers' own listings, the stand bags below run from 3.4 to 7.75 pounds and the cart bags from 6 to 9.3 pounds. Most makers print the weight and the divider count. Few print the top size, so that column has gaps.

Weights are the figures on each listing. Vessel lists the Player V Pro body weight and gives the strap (0.60 lbs) and the rain hood (1 lb) separately. Sun Mountain lists the E-3.5 at 4.8 lbs with 4 dividers and 5.8 lbs with 14, so check which top you are looking at.
GapsWhere the makers do not print a top size
The top size is what you check when you wonder whether grips will crowd. It is also the number makers publish least.
- Sun Mountain prints a top width for every bag in the chart, and a second figure on the E-1.5 and the E-3.5 14-Way.
- Vessel prints the top size and the overall bag size.
- Callaway prints overall height, width and depth for the Fairway C and Fairway+, which is the whole bag rather than the top, and no dimensions for the Fairway 14.
- Titleist prints weight, divider count and pocket count in the releases above, with no dimensions.
- PING prints weight, top ways, pocket count and pocket volume (19L on the Hoofer Lite, 24L on the Hoofer 14, 33L on the Traverse, 35L on the Pioneer), with no top size or dimensions.
The chart says "Not published" where a maker leaves a figure out, and it carries only what the maker prints.
Using itHow to use this chart
Compare stand bags with stand bags and cart bags with cart bags, since they are built for different jobs. Our stand bag vs cart bag guide covers which one fits how you play.
If you carry, start with the weight column, then the top: stand bags in the chart come with 4, 5, 7 or 14 divider slots. If you ride or push, the cart bags here have 14 or 15 ways, and Vessel also lists a 7-way.
When top size matters to you, use the makers that print it, or measure the bag in a shop. For what goes in which slot once you have a bag, see how to organize a golf bag.
Watch forCommon mix-ups
The weight is the empty bag. Fourteen clubs, balls, water and a rain jacket come on top of it.
The same bag can list different weights. Titleist's two releases give the Players 4 at 3.7 and 3.8 lbs. Sun Mountain's E-3.5 is 4.8 lbs with a 4-way top and 5.8 lbs with a 14-way top.
The "14" in a bag's name is the number of divider slots. The Callaway Fairway 14 is listed at 6 lbs and the PING Hoofer 14 at 5.9 lbs.
Top dimensions and overall dimensions are different numbers. Vessel's Player V Pro top is 9.5" x 11", and the whole bag is 15.25" x 12.5" x 36.25". Callaway's 36" H 7" W 12" D for the Fairway C is the whole bag.
