SUN MOUNTAIN Sync bag
Sun Mountain ’ s Sync bag is purpose-built for use on pushcarts . Thus , its redesigned bottom for 2022 is a precise fit in the brand ’ s own carts — as are its upper and lower bag wraps — to limit sideto-side motion . But the bag will work with other brand carts , as well , with all of its pockets being accessible for convenience . Available in both men ’ s and women ’ s models , it features a 10.5-inch , 14-way top with a separate putter compartment and individual club dividers that run the full length of the bag . $ 230 ,
