Anyone bought a Ping Craz-E Lite since they supposedly fixed its problems?

[eric61]

I'm in the market for a super-lightweight stand bag for carrying. I got a chance to check out a bunch in person a few days ago, and aside from the smallish water bottle pocket, the Ping Craz-E Lite seemed like it might be exactly what I'm looking for. 

 

I know there was some chatter last year about these bags being unreliable -- I think that was centered on faulty dividers and stands. I also know Ping repaired or replaced the bags of people who reported those problems to them, and supposedly started selling a version with those issues fixed. However, I haven't seen much talk about these bags since Ping supposedly fixed the Craz-E Lite's problems. So I'm wondering if anyone has bought one since then -- or maybe received a replacement version from Ping if theirs had problems -- and could weigh in on the reliability of the current version?

 

(Also, I apologize if it feels like a separate thread on this topic was unnecessary. I've read through all the recent lightweight stand/carry bag threads on here, but haven't really seen folks address this specific question.)

I have had a craz E lite bag since May 2022. In general I love the bag from an ease of carry standpoint. I am 50+ and had been using a push cart for years, but then became convinced it was causing me back issues and starting to carry again has made a huge difference. I still have one fundamental issue with the bag that I recently contacted PING about (waiting for their answer). The back has five sections, and the front section (for wedges) has no divider running down the bag and the back two sections (for woods, hybrids, putter) also has no divider. The bag relies then on full length and separate dividers running full length for the two middle sections. Curiously, these middle dividers cross over each other half way down the bag, which I expect is designed to stop clubs in the top sections slipping through. However, this crossover design makes its quite difficult to get clubs in and out of the middle sections. Its not a deal breaker in my opinion, but worth being aware of.
