2019 Jones Trouper Bag

[CBNBAC]

I have mixed feelings about this new bag. Sure, the opening is bigger, which is a minor problem on the utility. But it just looks too modern to be a Jones bag imo. At least in pictures.

 

 

Agreed, I think they went too far in the other direction. The Utility Stand just needed some tweaking and a slight increase in the opening size, maybe another divider in that middle slot. This new one is too much like every other golf bag and doesn’t really look like a Jones.

 

IDK, looks a lot like the Utility bag to me. I'm looking forward to receiving mine and trying it out.

Why are the damn backgrounds colored the same as the bags in the pictures on the website?

 

Someone’s idea of being artsy is Irritating.

Own 2 Jones single strap bags. Have a Titleist players 4 bag. Going to get Jones dual strap stand bag. Can not decide between Utlility or Trouper stand bag. Is the Trouper much bigger than Utility bag. Anyone recommend one over other. Guys at Jones said stand is better on Trouper. Just not sure if Trouper bag is same size as Titleist Players 4 bag. They do not make the slate color for Trouper bag. Looking at Blue or possibly sand color. Has anyone seen and have comments on color selection for Trouper. All feedback welcomed.

I'd say if you want to carry 14 clubs and don't want a pretty tight fit, give the Trouper a try.

 

I have the Utility and it's a cool bag but I found it a super tight fit and not great with 14 clubs using midsize grips. Maybe regular grips helps. I still like the bag and I don't mind using just 12 clubs or so which helps a little but I'd still probably have found another solution if it was my main bag. But these days I mostly use it on a cart when I want a full set which is rarely....I prefer my Mackenzie and my half-set the large majority of the time.

Have any of you switched to this bag from the 2018 Ping Hoofer? I'm really interested in checking one out, but since it'll be shipping to Hawaii I just want to make sure it's right for me before I pull the trigger.

[mrhicksta]

Went ahead and pulled the trigger on mine. Thanks for all the pics and thoughts on the bag, Steelhead!!!

As soon as I pulled the trouper out of the box today I knew it was going to be my favorite bag. It maintains a lot of the Utility styling but adds a lot of the features many wanted. the great thing is it does not make the bag that much bigger. Its taller from bottom of opening to top but not much wider and very well thought out. the material is different than past utilities and I would assume it was to shed weight. It has a hoofer like feel to the fabric but not so much to make it seem like its not a Jones bag. the opening is perfect and holds all 14 clubs perfect, the leg mechanism is smooth and much easier to release than the past, and the putter "well" is slick.

 

I haven't carried on the course yet but it seems like it will be great. Empty and while picking up by the handle it felt lighter than the Hoofer or even utility. Could be the leverage of the handle. Filled, it still feels light and easy to carry.

 

Im excited to use the bag and hope it sees success.

If i recall the trouper is very close in size to he players 4. I recommend the trouper over the utility for the added space alone. No more tangle, handle for easy set down, and the legs are smooooth. I have black which is pretty standard but I saw a video with the Navy and that was slick looking.

[slide13]

Okay, that does look pretty good, I take back my previous reservation on this one. Loaded up with club it does seem to maintain a lot of the visual style of the Utility bag while looking way better functionally.

[gentles]

If it wasn't such a mission to get one of these to Canada I would be all over one of these!

[meaks17]

Picked up an olive one, I've been waiting for them to come up with something that will be easier to use with midsize grips!

[mrhicksta]

After seeing those additional pics, I'm even more excited about getting mine! Jones Golf doesn't mess around with shipping, either. Mine looks like it'll arrive on Monday, which is nice and quick from Oregon to Hawaii!

Thanks for pics...bag looks great. Is that the black bag or navy. I was contemplating on sand. Not sure if sand looks alittle bland or womans bag. You have a opinion on sand color

[jibslider]

I stopped over at Jones and picked up an olive Trouper Bag. Normally I use a Utility and sometimes an older Sun Mountain 3.5. I really like the Trouper because of the lack of club tangle and the stand is just so much more smooth than the Utility. I would say the straps are still very comfortable, but just not quite as plush as the Utility. Big thumbs up from me on this bag and will probably retire the Utility... plus I always wanted the olive Utility, but they sold out of it before I could pull the trigger.

The location of the 2nd strap seems odd. Does it sit on the shoulder fine?

I think he has it upside down.

 

ETA - is that really olive?

looks like “sand” to me

[jibslider]

Nope. That's olive, and the strap isn't upside down.

[masamitsu]

jib - Is that a patch on the large pocket in the first pic?

[Seamus_McDuff]

Nope. That's olive, and the strap isn't upside down.

 

My bad, I see it now. The “Jones” label on the strap ends up on your back and right side up.

Thank you. Sorry, I forgot to point that out. That Cascadia Flag patch is something I sewed onto the bag. Here is another picture of the olive color in some overcast lighting.

[Dubv23]

that color looks great too but if thats olive then im curious how much lighter "sand" because if you didn't tell us then I would have guessed that was "Sand"

That looks absolutely nothing like the olive bag online. Would 100% say that is sand based on pics. Wow!

[Harry Putter]

I'm definitely confused on the color...does anyone have pics of the two bags together in person?

 

 

 

 

 

[samnola]

Are all the D-rings,buckles, and connection points between the straps and bag plastic or metal? It is hard to tell in the pictures. And does anyone know if they are metal or plastic on the original Utility bag?

 

I'm a little disappointed they didn't keep the plush top and hoofer style base (instead of external foot) from the original Utility. I feel like that fit the classic vibe of Jones alot better. However, I am so glad they finally made a bag that can fit 14 midsize grips without tangle. I hope they release this in the charcoal color.

[ruffellprefley]

still skeptical about that bag being olive. it doesn’t even have any green tint to it.... here’s olive from more of their promo material

 

 

and here’s sand

I agree, that has to be the sand color. My olive is arriving tomorrow, I will snap some pics for everyone.
