Full length dividers go all the way down the bag to prevent the clubs/grips from bumping and crossing each other. Most normal bags don't and clubs, due to the shaft and grip, may get stuck when putting them back or trying to pull them out during play or practice.
Thumbs up for golf deals
I just bought the current 2021 model 2 weeks ago which looks different. It does have full length dividers. Not sure I'd purchase this one if it really says Trial Bag on the ball pocket like the photo suggests. Very happy with my current bag which can be found for $225 inclusive of tax and shipping. If this older model doesn't have full length dividers money is better spent on one that does. Your grips last longer. Had been using a Titleist 14 way bag (made by Sun Mtn) for 10 yrs until getting the new one.

Ooooohhhhhh I know what you're referring to now after describing! That's a MASSIVE pet peeve of mine with my existing cheap set of 4 dividers. When I put an iron back in bag it gets "sticky" with the other grips or same when I pull out a club. I hate that with a passion haha.
I just didn't know the term full length so rep to you for explaining. Thank you!
How much of a deal is this versus regular price? Agreed on the bag saying "trial bag" but really you could throw a patch or something over it if you really care that much IMO. I mean this is a deals website so I get that there are some things you can"give" on (personally I fall in that camp) but I also understand that golfers tend to be a bit more "preppy" and care about stupid stuff like that stitching. IMO grab a patch or a knife to cut out the lettering; and get you a deal if you need one. If you're preppy enough to care about it you are probably okay paying a bit more for a bag to not have that lettering on it… I mean I still use my high school golf bag 20 years later, so perhaps I'm not the expert on "what's hip nowadays".

This is not the 2021 version of the bag. The 2021 bag does have full length dividers in all slots except for the putter well. I have the 2021 version and it does look different from this bag. Most notably, there is no brace above the leg brackets on the older bags.
I bet you could decently easily remove the Trial Bag embroidery with a thread cutter tool but who knows... Or like someone said, put a patch over it. That being said, I recently purchased a Big Max hybrid bag for $140 with similar specs from Costco recently. Won't be needing this one but thumbs up for golf deals!
Trial bags are usually used at clubs/for pros as rentals to promote the brand or demo new products. If you bring one around as your personal carry, it'll look like you stole it. totally a stigma, but kinda like wearing stolen bowling shoes at the local alley or something.
This bag would be ok without the Trial Bag label of there weren't a variety of other options out there. Send like the only focus here is the full length dividers. If you are transitioning to a new bag it is very important to make sure the pockets will accommodate everything you are used to carrying for your round. Read reviews about the legs for whatever bag you're interested in - some are junk! There are also bag deals to be found everywhere. TGW, Carl's Golfland, eBay, and also direct brand sites. Just got a new Cleveland bag direct last year that was $150 less than anywhere else. I've never seen another golfer with my bag, and it's by far the best bag I've ever had. Don't jump on this just because it's posted here. Find what you want - and remember white will get dirty very quickly playing golf!

This is a glorified cart bag- a cart bag that happens to have a stand. If you plan on ever carrying your bag, do not purchase this bag. Some 14 way dividers may make it easier to pull clubs, but this is not a big problem. I carry golf bags for a living. As a caddie, I do not carry bags like this. I require the guest to change bags. It's too heavy and cumbersome. Also, one counterintuitive aspect to the dividers is they actually cause more club banging. They create distance that allows movement, banging, and increased club chatter.

UPDATE: According to user CoolBook5288 down below this bag does not say TRIAL BAG.
Why spend $150 on a bag that says TRIAL BAG all huge on it? No thank you. I'd rather not look like a total schmuck out there because of my golf bag.
I'll let my terrible golf skills be what makes me look bad.
There's fine options for less than $150 that won't look like you ganked it from the pro shop.
