Ping Hoofer Tour......on sale now!

[reperna]

Anyone having issues with the stand on these? I just got mine and the legs really lag behind when I pick it up. My other hoofers snap back super fast. Any adjustments on these?

Mine do the same but I think you can tighten the tensioner , just haven’t tried yet

[reperna]

Is that the bracket in the middle? I tried to move it up or down but it wouldn’t budge

I may be crazy but I ended up returning mine for the leg reason. My regular Hoofer does not have this issue and I did adjust the tensioner. Its something with the base and the weight that keeps it from acting the same as a regular bag.

Still loving my hoofer tour for cart and range.  Use a drastically lighter bag for walking (which is most of the time).  You guys carrying the HT are beasts!

Edwin Watts has 60 of them in stock across the country.  Shocked that people are paying a premium for these.  Just call your closest store and they will bring one in. Golf galaxy in Birmingham had 3 last week.

[Minarets]

GG in Franklin, TN still has one if anyone needs it.

Picked up this bag over the weekend. I'm still amazed that it was sitting on a shelf in a local GG. The quality is certainly up there and looks great, but definitely not subtle. I'm honestly torn about keeping it, but I think once I'm able to add some Ping clubs back into my playing set I'll feel better about it.

These are in stock (for now) at TGW if anyone is still looking to grab one. Free shipping too.

I saw one at my local range last year and you could spot it a mile away.

No cart pass-through slot?

Ya that's my biggest 'complaint'.  I just got one for my bday from my wife and was BLOWN away by the gift (I usually get something very small).  Fits well on my clicgear but the lack of cart strap slot is odd for sure.  Otherwise, the bag is drop dead gorgeous and a nice upgrade from my ~15yr old hoofer.

I just bought a new Hoofer, and really wish I hadn't.  Too late to return it, and I'll use it, but I wish I'd held out for this one.

 

Unrelated:  Anyone want to buy a brand new all-gray Hoofer?

It's definitely a workout. The bag is a couple of pounds heavier than a standard Hoofer, so most of the time it's not a big deal. However, throw in a course that doesn't have water on the links, a cool morning, and the possibility of rain, and the umbrella, rain gear, and extra water adds up quickly. 

 

For the heck of it I hopped on a scale a few weeks ago. 33 lbs with 5 lbs of water. Ugh. I can't wait for this Covid &#@t to be over.

Just my opinion, but stick with the Hoofer.  That Hoofer Tour is hideous.

Bah. Lol. Yes, it's not your typical stand bag. If you're looking for a lightweight bag, it's definitely not it. 

 

However, if you're looking for a unique bag that attracts looks, the Tour is it. I had a Hoofer for a year, and nobody looked twice at it. In the last few months I've received many comments/compliments on my Tour. The Core headcovers add to the look.

 I respect it.  The gray hoofer might be my favorite bag of all time.

 

Good looking in an understated way

Just personal opinion obviously, I like a relatively sleek bag and the Hoofer Tour is the opposite of sleek.  I can understand its appeal though, in a Staff bag type of way.

This kinda reminds me of a girl I was setup with once, I normally prefer the sleeker versions , but she was the staff bag type. All I can say is we ate good. 

 

I do have the Hoofer Tour and I still like it for the cart and range , but I've had better.

Thanks, it's a real puuurty bag and I feel like this site could be 'dangerous' haha.  My wife was a bit annoyed that I knew what it was since it was shipped in the original Ping box haha. 

[nitram]

I really like mine and I'm not even bagging a PING club these days, nor for the foreseeable future.

A little bit disappointed that the black piping/trim on the edge of the rain hood cover has already worn, exposing the white fabric underneath. The hood cover is definitely in a spot that rubs the body when carrying, but it's more wear than I would expect after less than 50 rounds.

you put the rain hood cover on that often?

No. The hood stays in the upper left zippered pocket. The pocket has black trim, and it rubs the body when carrying. After a number of rounds the black trim has worn to the point that the white fabric underneath is showing.

ah, weird there is white under the black trim

[Kid B]

What's the MSRP on these?  I can get one for $280 shipped, which seems like a good deal?

 

I really don't need a ninth golf bag but I really really like this one
