Great case but requires a HUGE car trunk

by A. Tubesing 2006-11-22, 20 people found this review helpful
I bought this case and loved it. I couldn't have been more pleased with its sturdiness, rolling ease, and quality of construction. My average sized stand bag fit nicely without much effort and there was room enough for shoes and other odd items inside.

HOWEVER, this case is so huge that it is nearly impossible to travel with if you rent a car. Don't be fooled by the length, sure you can fit a 49" driver in any trunk, but this case is 14" in diameter, so it is much larger than the length would lead you to believe. I recently flew to Las Vegas, and the only rental car with a big enough trunk was a Lincoln Continental (believe me I tried every trunk they had and this was the only one big enough). I usually rent an economy or full size car, so upgrading to a luxury car cost me a lot of extra money--I could have spent that money on a new driver! You can always try the back seat, but I needed it for people so that wasn't an option for me, though an economy or compact car will still be too small.

So, I have sold it and plan to buy a Club Glove Burst Proof travel bag which I have used before with good results. At least with a soft sided travel bag you can remove the clubs and fold up the bag to fit it all in any trunk or hatchback.

It's a great case, just be aware that it is not easy to travel with, you need a gigantic trunk.

My clubs made it there - in perfect condition!!!

I bought this case with the advise from a friend, I couldn't have made a better decision. This case not only protected my clubs but made the hassle at the airport minimal. I love that there is an unconditional lifetime warranty on this product, plus it's made in America! Thanks SKB for making a great trip with no hiccups.... i will be looking to buy a few rifle cases for next years hunt in Alaska.

Fabulous for Fencing Gear Air Transport!

by I. Ohl 2008-07-16, 6 people found this review helpful
I purchased this case for my daughter's fencing gear as she was traveling on planes nationally and internationally this summer. I lined the remainder of the interior with similar foam to help pad her fencing gear - about another $10 in materials. It's maiden voyage in June was on Delta and was without a hitch - no extra baggage charge as it is a solid golf case (even if we don't use it as such. Fedexing it Greece caused a large frakus with customs as they do not allow "weapons" into the country, but suffice it to say everything showed up untouched and intact. A great case! We will recommend to all our fencing buddies!

Not Just a Golf Case

by Karl E. Hays 2009-09-08, 3 people found this review helpful
I purchased this case for my son's fencing gear after seeing several fencers using golf travel bags. I couldn't be happier. It is perfect for protecting gear when traveling. With a soft-sided bag there is always a risk that equipment will be damaged by less-than-careful baggage handlers at the airport. No worries here. It locks too, which adds an extra level of comfort when you have to leave the bag unattended at a tournament.

For tripods and light stands

by Richard Crowley 2009-09-18, 2 people found this review helpful
I bought this case for an international tour with tripods and tall light stands (for audio recording). I packed it up with all my stands and cables (97 pounds worth!!) It made the round-trip PDX->AMS->OTP and back again with only a minor problem (the end of one of the stands punched through the top end). Recommend reinforcing the ends if you are carrying heavy objects with sharp ends! :-) Overall, it held up great, even with all that weight. If I had it to do over, I would buy one of these again.

Perfect for Lightstands and tripods

by Mark L. Ohashi 2009-01-06, 2 people found this review helpful
I purchased this golf travel case to transport my photo studio lightstands (48") and tripods. It works very well in this application and the cost was substantially lower than hard or soft cases in this size that are sold specifically for this purpose. Quality of materials and workmanship is excellent! Highly recommended!

Golf Club Hard-shell Case

by David H. Shaw 2008-08-31, 2 people found this review helpful
After having owned two soft-shell cases in the past, I found out two things:
1. The zippers and seams simply can't hold up to the Airline Neanderthals and thier cousins in the TSA
2 - Some airlines (Southwest, for example) insist on making me sign a damage waiver if checking soft-shells

I use a "backpacker carry bag" so my clubs fit snugly within the confines of this case. I can get my sticks, accessories, shoes, rain gear, etc. into this unit and close it without having to have my kids stand on it to get it closed. It's compact, easy to roll around, and is *almost* indestructable.

I say *almost* because after one trip across the States, someone (baggage handlers or TSA?) had ripped off one of the handles. After getting it home and making a call to SKB, they told me the handles were under warranty and sent me a replacement set. two days later, and some effort with a screwdriver and small wrench (actually a green-repair tool ) I had the new handle on and was back at it! Great customer service from the manufacturer!

Well-constructed golf travel case

by Bradford A. Billick 2010-05-10, 1 people found this review helpful
Small enough to fit in car trunk. Big enough to hold 48-50" driver. Easy latching system. TSA key lock. Handle construction improved - nut/bolt fastening to prevent damage from excessive wear/tear.

Own a Datrek as well, this is better.
