For example if you want to use a stand so it is easier to get your clubs in and out of the bag then by all means make sure you find a bag with a stand. On the same note if you often use an umbrella or other accessories then make sure you try out the bag you are interested in and think about where you could place the things you use frequently. If you don't like to carry much extra dn go with only the basic gear needed then get something slim and cut out the extras. It is important to really analyze what you use and what you don't use.
