I have been doing some traveling for golf over the last few years and have noticed my soft travel bag has held up better than my friends hard case bags. I have had my club glove collegiate bag for about 5 years now and it still looks and works great. While my friends with other hard cases have cracked during transit. I would highly recommend the club glove cases as they have plenty of storage for clothes and shoes with also a light weight.

I've traveled with a Club Glove soft cover for a while, and with a stiff arm and a bit of padding I've had no problems. The stiff arm is the key piece. It takes the hit if a bag gets dropped on the top, which is where most breakage happens. I also wrap the club heads in a towel or two, and pack soft items like clothes around the heads inside the bag.

A hard case does protect better if heavy bags get stacked on it, but it's heavier, often 12 to 18 lb empty, and many rental trunks don't fit it. Soft covers are lighter, so you have more room under the usual 50 lb limit.

One thing to check is that some airlines won't cover damage claims on soft cases, so read your airline's policy before you go. With the Titleist Club Glove cover and a stiff arm, you're in good shape for your trip.
