Choosing the right golf bag can make a world of difference in your performance and experience on the course. While materials, weight, and pocket configuration matter, one detail often overlooked is the divider system. At VESSEL, we believe that premium design should enhance function—down to every last divider. So how do you decide between a 14-way or 6-way golf bag? Let’s break it down.
What Is a Divider System?
The divider system in a golf bag separates and organizes your clubs. VESSEL offers full-length dividers in both 14-way and 6-way configurations—designed to reduce club crowding, protect shafts, and keep your setup tailored to your playing style.
Why Choose a 14-Way Divider System?
Best For: The meticulous golfer who values maximum organization and protection.
In a 14-way golf bag, each club has its own dedicated slot. This system mirrors how you’d store clubs in a display case: neat, secure, and incredibly accessible.
Benefits of 14-Way Dividers:
- Maximum Protection: Prevents shafts and grips from clanking or rubbing together.
Easy Club Identification: Quickly find and return the right club to its slot.
Cleaner Aesthetic: Keeps clubs upright and evenly spaced—ideal for golfers who appreciate a refined setup.
Tour-Inspired Design: Many professional caddies and athletes prefer 14-way bags for precision and ease.
VESSEL Options: Our Player V, Lux Pro Cart and Prime Staff bags feature 14-way top options with full-length dividers for unmatched club management.
Why Choose a 6-Way Divider System?
Best For: The minimalist golfer who prefers simplicity, speed, and reduced weight.
A 6-way system divides your clubs into broader sections—typically for woods, irons, and putter—providing just enough organization without overcomplicating your setup.
Benefits of 6-Way Dividers:
Lightweight Feel: Fewer dividers means less material and reduced bag weight.
Faster Transitions: Quickly grab and return clubs without worrying about specific slots.
Room for Adaptability: Easier to store clubs with midsize or oversized grips.
Cleaner Build: Ideal for walking golfers who prioritize mobility over micromanagement.
VESSEL Options: The Lux Stand, Lux Looper, and Sunday III feature 6-way top designs with reinforced, full-length dividers for premium feel and function.

Still not sure? Ask yourself:
Do I like every club having a home, or do I prefer a quicker, freer setup?
Whichever route you go, VESSEL ensures you never compromise on performance, durability, or design.
Are all dividers in VESSEL bags full-length?
Yes. Whether you choose a 14-way or 6-way bag, all VESSEL dividers run the full length of the bag to protect club shafts and reduce tangling.
What’s the best divider system for walking vs. riding?
Walkers often prefer the 6-way for lighter weight and flexibility. Riders may favor the 14-way for organization and easy access while the bag sits on a cart.
Can I customize the divider system in a VESSEL bag?
Divider systems are built into the bag’s structure and not interchangeable, but VESSEL offers both 14-way and 6-way options across our most popular models.
