The Sync also features plastic bumpers on the underside of the upper body that help that end of the bag to remain secure as well. The oval base of the Sun Mountain Sync promotes a more secure fit at the bottom of the cart. “Sideways Bag Syndrome” is a real issue for many push cart users. Traditional round cart bag bottoms are prone to turning on a push cart. Making the base more oval-shaped seems like a simple thing but it represents a huge improvement for pushing. Attach the shoulder strap to the other side and everything would stay in this secure arrangement on the push cart or on your shoulder. As well as this top works on the push cart, as soon as you carry this from the shoulder strap, all of the clubs slide toward the center of the bag. Unfortunately, I need to mention the shoulder strap position again. Let’s take a look at those unique features that Sun Mountain included to improve the pushing experience. Strap critique aside, the Sun Mountain Sync was great on the course (on the cart). I’d actually welcome the legs of the C-130S as well. Putting the strap on the pocket side like Sun Mountain does with its C-130S seems like a better way to go. This usually means that your irons are now clanking against each other as well as with your wood shafts and putter. This means all of the pockets point down, as do your clubs. What I don’t like about this design is that when you carry the bag with the strap, it puts the bag and your clubs in the opposite orientation compared to how it sits in the push cart. Like a traditional cart bag, the Sync’s carry strap lives on the underside of the bag. The Sun Mountain Sync’s strap design could be better. There is a tradeoff here as the cooler pocket location means that the Sync will only have one full-length pocket for storage. The insulated cooler pocket is quite large, taking up half of one of the side compartments. The pockets all face forward for easy access and the storage is ample. Overall, the Sun Mountain Sync is a golfer-friendly bag. Obviously, the only way to see if these design elements make a difference was to strap the Sun Mountain Sync to a Pathfinder 3 push cart and head out to the course.
