Good looking bag at a decent price, $140. Any one see this in the wild yet? I just ordered the grey carry bag. It's going to be a hard sell to replace my old Ping J-Bag, but for $140 it's worth a try. I like the 14 way divider.

^^^ This is sharp.

I ordered one, I haven't received shipping confirmation yet. For $140 I figured it was worth a shot vs paying $100 more for a titleist hybrid 14.

Received it yet? Can we get a review?

[Jarlaxle]

Seems pretty well constructed, look forward to seeing more pics once you receive it.

It came in yesterday. It's a good looking bag. I will say I'm a pretty subtle guy and the over dose of logos is a bit much for me. So far all I've done is load my stuff. Lots of pocket space and the 14 way divider is a big change from my 4 way ping. It's definitely a bigger bag than my J Bag also. 

 

I'll add a lot more after my round today. 

 

One thing I hate about new bags is figuring out where the best place is for everything. Balls or T's in this pocket? Where should me keys and wallet go?? First world problems.... 

[4x4GGG]

OK.. got in my first 18 holes with the bag. I love Sub70, their service is great their clubs are better! The bag... so far a solid Meh. 

This is 1-1 comparison against a Ping J-Bag I picked up used 3ish years ago (For $39.99!). 

- The 14 way divider was pleasant for the most part. Much better than the 4 way divider.  The problem I encountered is finding THE spot I pulled an Iron from. Maybe I need a smaller head cover on my driver? First world problem, but new to me. 

 

- The pockets. It has a lot. Too many, maybe? It's a carry bag. How many pockets should I need? It almost feels like they (I don't know who actually makes the bag, I don't think it's Sub70) just smacked pockets in the weirdest places they could so they could say they have pockets. I almost feel the center section of pockets in pockets isn't needed. Like maybe 1 medium-ish size front pocket with another pocket for tees. Granted I have more tees than anyone should have, but 9 pockets for them is too much. To beat this dead horse, here's what pockets I need: 

     -Balls

     -Tees

     -Tools (Head wrench, spike wrench, tall tees for driving range mats) 

     -Ball markers, divot tool, pencils, lighter, phone charger. <-- Usually kept in the valuables pouch because it's small. 

     -Jacket/shoe pouch

     -Key and Wallet pouch that I will not open outside of the parking lot because I have OCD and a coworker once lost his Fob during a round and it cost him close to $500 total. 

     -An open pocket for cigars, lighter and range finder. A place to drop an extra ball or the score card while you're walking. Doesn't need a zipper, just a place to drop things you don't want in your pockets. During the round this is where my range finder would go, also. 

 

-Along with Pockets, grab pouches. There's a water bottle spot and a score card and pencil holder. When the bag is on your back there's no way of finding the scorecard pocket and the cap to the Dasani bottle I bought spent the entire round poking me in my left glute cheek. 

 

- The legs. I want to look at the bag in a non golf situation. I noticed right away that I was "kicking" the legs out a little further every time I put the bag down. I'm sure it was stable enough, but I'm just used to the "Baby deer on ice" stance my ping had. See pics and agree/disagree with me. 

 

- The straps. Bad. Sorry. I'm trying to like them. They're cheap-ish. The right strap came with a fold or a notch in it. The left strap is like trying to put on a wet suit when you're already wet. Reach back, feel around, find it, get it caught on your watch, wrestle it to your shoulder, then twist it 3 times to get the right side down and get that weird plastic stabbing feeling off of your shoulder. And to further the strap issue I really think they're too narrowly connected to the bag itself. I am a bigger guy, but it felt like I was more wearing a Camel Back than a golf bag. It was literally cinching on my ribs. They're thin, almost like a seat belt. And god forbid you have a towel. You can see in one of the pics that there's a birds nest of straps and towel to fight when it's already behind your back. 

 

This is all I can think of for now. I'm not trying to be a negative Nancy about this, but I'm not sold yet. There's a strong chance I'll play this bag over the summer and try to get used to it. Kind of like last year when work convinced me to switch to my first ever iPhone after being a Samsung guy all my life. This iPhone 12 is a prison on planet bullpoop in a galaxy of this sucks Camel... anyway. I'm adapting and slowly seeing things on iphone can still be good. I'm going to apply this rational to my new bag. But, like my Galaxy S10, I'm not selling my old bag just yet.

Great review. I’m a big Sub 70 fan but think I’m going to go a little more subtle with the bag. 

[AtlantaGolf3]

I couldn’t really tell what brand the bag was based on the logos. 

[mogc60]

I think it’s way good looking. It may be my next bag purchase. Looks great for the money

[PearTree]

After using this bag for a few rounds and multiple range sessions, I would say for the price it is a good bag. My main gripe is it doesn't have full length dividers and my clubs get tangled up occasionally. It has lots of storage space and works great on a cart which is why I bought it in the first place. For purely a carry bag, I will stick with my Sun Mountain as the Sub 70 shoulder straps are horrible if you are carrying farther than the parking lot to the pro shop. 

[cbyard11]

Thanks for bringing this up really caught my interest and I ended up buying it. Thanks man!

[mogc60]

I just ordered one as well. It’s a great looking bag. I ride mostly but like the stand bag for range use. Can’t wait to get mine. 

[4x4GGG]

Any other long term reviews? 

[Orange Hog]

I'd love to see a 14-way Vessel x Sub70 bag.  C'mon Jason...make it happen!!

[awtryau89]

I grabbed one of these bags as a backup as the price is so good. $139.99 shipped is hard to beat. It exceeded my expectations. While not perfect, you won't find a better bag at this price. As stated above, plenty of pockets, 14 way dividers, nice build quality. My gripes are the straps and the water bottle slot. The water bottle is in the way for normal carry operation and the straps are a bit thin. I would say this is more of a Hybrid bag and works well for that.

Not sure if intentional, but this spot is intended for the putter.
