For me the fewer slots the better. I carry a Ping Moonlite and I wish it only had two openings instead of 5.

I loathe 14 way dividers. Give me a nice 4-way divider and I’m happy.
Easy to organize. No PITA slots. If reviewing clubs more can be in the bag than 14. Most importantly, lighter.Hey Jman - that seems like a contrarian take - curious as to why?
I hate 14 way bags. I find them a right royal pain in the chuff!!! Then again, I do like a little bit of organization. That’s why I use a bag with a woode top. It’s perfect for me. Still pisses me off it’s no longer around (stupid decision). It does mean I will never in my life but another golf bag.

Same. My choice would definitely be different if I ever walked/carried. But almost 100% of my rounds are in a cart, and if not I use a push cart, so the C-130 is great for my use. Chances of me walking a round carrying that thing over my shoulder? Zero.If I walked, I'd feel differently. But I don't, so 14-way by a long shot for me.
13 full length dividers with a large putting well is where it's at!

I'm struggling with my transition from a 14-way to a 4-way top. I made the change out of a desire to lighten the load a bit, but honestly I just can't get comfortable with the communal arrangement. It's strange actually, when I received my new T200 irons I couldn't get a club in and out of the bag without tugging, twisting, and shaking the bag to get one loose. I've been carrying my old Cleveland irons for the last two weeks, and they slide in and out of the bag like a hot knife through butter. It will be interesting to see what happens when I get my 200s back this week.
One thing I have noticed which was an early concern with the switch is that my new SS putter grip is already falling apart despite only being 2/3 of a season old. In my 14-way top my SS lasted over 2 years without breaking down.
TBH for me the most important factor on a carry bag is the strap system; my SM 4.5 had the best style I have ever owned. The Titleist bag has the simple plastic cross, but due to my small stature the straps are set short enough that it doesn't twist and turn. Luckily SM makes a 2.5 14-way that weighs about the same as my current 4-way; the downside is nobody carries it locally so I would have to order and ship it sight unseen. I think I'll finish the year with my Titleist and then re-evaluate in the off season.
