  1. I picked up my Hybrid 5 today and was surprised to find a difference between it and the Hybrid 14 which I was not expecting. The Hybrid 14 has a cart-strap pass through tunnel, whereas the Hybrid 5 does not. After reviewing the literature on the website, I see that this feature is actually described differently.

    Hybrid 14 - "Integrated Cart Strap Tunnel" Hybrid 5 - "Cart strap loop for easy cart access"

    Both bags are advertised as "Cart Friendly Design", but personally I see these as being very different methods of achieving "cart friendly", and not sure how the "loop" meets this description. It sure looks to me like a riding cart strap, when passed through the "loop" is going to cinch down on top of the towel ring. True - this is better than the strap covering an access pocket, but still - my hope was that when using this bag on a riding cart, the strap would have zero no negative affect. Like the tunnel provides.

    For those who have purchased the Hybrid 5 and used it on a cart, riding or push, does the strap interfere with the towel ring? If it does, is it a minor nuisance you choose to look past?

    Having purchased and returned a Hybrid 14, then ordering the Hybrid 5, and thinking the only differences were going to be the obvious ones (14 vs 5 club slots, 8 vs 7 pockets, a bit lighter) I was bummed to realize I had not noticed this very different method that Titleist used in the same model line of bag.

  2. Where did you get them from? I have looked at every store near me and also online. I can’t fine a hybrid 14 anywhere.

    Your local shop will be able to order from titleist. Or you can.
  4. The old StaDry cart bag was "compromised" when you put it on the cart in that the brolly seemed to get trapped and the towel drags on the wheels a bit.
