Golf bag opinions

My 2020 hoofer arrived today and it pretty much destroys the Jones in every category.  Straps took me 2 seconds to adjust. Pockets are perfect and plentiful, I don’t need to carry a 12 pack onto the golf course with me like the Jones bag was apparently designed around. 
 

 

 

My hoofer lite is under the tree, and I can’t wait to unwrap it. It will be replacing the hoofer xtreme I’ve had since ‘06. 
 

You can’t beat a Ping bag. It says a lot about a company when you only have to replace it every 15 years.

Absolutely agree... I wanted to give a smaller shop a shot but they’ve got a ways to go to catch ping.

I’ve just seen too many zipper issues to drop that kind of dough on a bag.  Never been a fan of the pleather look either really.

Same. To me the Stitch bags (and bags from similar brands) have always looked a bit “cheap”. Almost like something you could find in the clearance sporting goods section at Walmart right next to a 48 pack of Top Flites.

Def the pleather look.  Loved the guys who wore pleather jackets in the day. For the kind of money they want u can get some serious nice bags.

I’m using a Jones 2.0 and as said above wearing both straps isn’t the most comfortable, I carry single strap most of the time and the bag is perfect. 
 

I know the cooler pocket is a big design flaw for a lot of people, but you don’t have to use it as a cooler. It holds balls just fine. I keep a water or Gatorade and then a few balls in that pocket.

Yeah the straps were the reason I sold the bag.  I could of dealt with the poor pocket layout but I carry about 50 rounds a year and having a comfortable bag is a big priority.  The 2020 hoofer is an awesome bag, I did just order a 2021 Nike sport lite as well so we’ll see.  I sold the Jones for what I paid so no harm there.  I got a insane deal on the Hoofer and the Nike.  
 

I really really liked the club organization on the Jones which spurred the Nike purchase.  If ping would adopt that opening layout the game would be over.

Maybe these people need to relearn how to use a zipper 😂. Either they yanked them hard, or tried to overload the pockets like on a staff bag; how else can u break a zipper? This bag is rain proof but not idiot proof I guess 🤣🤣
On close up this bag has a nice texture and pattern, not just plain pleather. 
But to each his own...

 Does the bag have YKK zippers?
