Which Jones Bag to get?

I want one but not sure which model provides what I need. FWIW, I want this for about 9-10 clubs at most and the smaller the better. I want a one-strap carry bag, not a stand bag (I have 3 now) but need space for a rainsuit. I'd love to just go 'old school' with their basic model but not sure it will accomodate the rainsuit. The website is a bit vague actually.

Please advise......thanks, John

The original will do all that you want, big back pocket on the bag will hold the rain suit, 1 strap no stand easily hold the 10 clubs ... i love mine for whats it worth much prefer carrying that over my ping stand bag 99% of the time

Players series is good and affordable. Check out Seamus Fescuse Sunday golf bag. There is a cinch close pocket for their standard speaker, but can also be used for layering or anything else. Its a wax canvass with some leather I believe. Seamus is very pricey, almost the same price as mackenzie but its perfect for 9-12 clubs and has 4 great pockets. That being I said I do no have one but am looking at Jones, Mac and a Seamus. Seamus gof bags are hard to find on golfwrx. I heard one of the cons is the strap and is nothing compared to a Mac or even the Jones. There is a product to improve the Seamus strap. Hope this helps.

The Jones original has a little more room for rain gear. The original is unstructured, while the players has a rod for some structure if you have a preference either way.

I carry Players Series with 13-14 bags (time dependent) and can carry rain suit in the belly pocket. No umbrella though ;-)

I chose Players over original as I like the structure rods and the external water bottle pocket, but I think you'd be fine with other one given your needs

I've all but decided to get the Players Series in Heather Gray; too beautiful and has exactly what I need....and nothing more. However, after reading your comment, I might rethink it; would be good to carry an umbrella I think. Problem is that I NEVER walk and have only just started...trying to figure out this new perspective. Or maybe I can just figure out some sort of 'hack' to securing it to the bag.

If they had the Original Bag in that Heather Gray, it would already be ordered!

I probably over stated the no umbrella comment. If you're only carrying 10 clubs, you'll have no problem putting an umbrella in the bag. There just isn't a separate spot for one and when you have 13-14 clubs, you really do need to jam it in there

I just heard back from Jones and he advises me to NOT use the Players Series bag in adverse conditions so I think I'm back to the Original. I did ask him to confirm that bag was ok in cold/rain as I'm mainly getting it for my trip to Scotland/N. Ireland.

I think I remember a user posting about the Players bleeding onto their shirt when it got wet... I can confirm the Original will not do that and will be able to hold plenty of gear, BUT it is unstructured. I thought I remember it having and external umbrella loop, but I could be wrong. I carried 13 with no problem in the Original, the Players series is a better looking bag IMO but sounds like the Original may suit your needs better here. Linksoul also has a pretty nice Sunday bag... may be worth looking into.

Thanks for that. I believe the Original is the way to go. I looked at Linksoul and dig their stuff but not that bag; really want a single strap. I read an article online that said Jones is doing a 40% off sale so the price is really attractive over the competition. McKenzie and Seamus are WAY out of my league and being a high handicapper, I don't want to 'invest' that kind of money. However, I do want something a bit out of the norm (titleist, callaway et al) so the Jones looks like it hits the mark!

Now just have to pick a color ;)

Did you ever consider the Utility Rover? Not quite the classic look of a Players or Original, but another option with a spine, which was important to me. Nylon material as opposed to the Polyester of the Players. Can go double strap or single, I do single. I just got back from taking mine to Bandon and had no issues. Has a nice variety of pockets and a belly style pocket to hold rain gear, jacket, etc.

I like that red, white, and blue Original!!

I like them all tbh. Ended up ordering the Stripeshow as it's simple like the Original but the materials seem more water repellent. And yes, that Red, White and Blue version is really very cool; may have to revisit in the spring if I love this one!

I did look at the Rover and it was in fact recommended by the CS guy there but ultimately, I thought it had too many pockets. It sounds weird even writing that coming from a guy who always uses a cart and loves the pockets. I really want to simplify the gear and lighten the load.

How many clubs can you carry comfortably in the Utility Rover? Would a full set fit ok?

Not to get off topic, but I had 14 in my bag this weekend. Some tangle occasionally but fully manageable.

I got mine during the blind sale for only $60 and it all had on it was a leaf or a feather design on the side. Can’t beat it for the price and the design which actually looks pretty good. Could it be a course logo ? If anyone knows that would be great

Damn, $60? Awesome deal. Sorry, no clue re the emblem. Will report back once the bag is received. I’m not a ‘reviewer’ sort of guy but happy to provide an overall yay/nay.

Stripeshow is a great bag. I've had mine for a few months now and it still looks brand new. Have carried it in mucky wet conditions and any dirt will just wipe right off.

Yes it was only $60 because i bought it during the blind sale. You just pick the style bag and they send you one, you didnt pick a color or anything. Some people got ones with names on it or other random logos like my feather or some were just plain bags you didnt know what you were getting until it arrived. Luckily i got a good one, there was a whole thread on here about the blind sale like 2 years back there was some funny ones that people got.

I have three Jones bags, Original in Grey, Players in Navy, and Utility Rover. I do enjoy the original the most for comfort. I enjoy them all, but my recommendation is the Original.

+1 to the recommendations on the original .

one of the best bags I’ve ever had. Light, durable, and plenty of storage. Price is reasonable, and the Black Friday sale prices make them a solid value.

Do you know how much jones drops their bags on black Friday?

Usually 40%

Thanks, I actually just saw Erik Lang post it on his Instagram page.

Well, if the bag is everything I’m told, they’ll have a customer for life. We are leaving town and I’ll be hunting in West Texas when the sale starts so they allowed me to buy with the discount! Can’t believe they bent the rule. I manage a country club and I try to train staff so that they can make one-off decisions on the fly.....just like this. Outstanding CS with all my questions too; and I had a bunch.

Happy Thanksgiving y’all

That is awesome customer service. Glad it still exists!

picked up the utility trouper for 40% yesterday. Threw in a shoe bag and a marker and was still less than reg price for the bag.

Jones site is going sell out of everything they got LOL!

cant wait to get this bag

Gahhhhhhhh.... you just cost me $118! LOL Pulled the trigger on the heather grey Players bag... I can not pass up 40%.

LOL! ‘Tis the season!
