Vessel Player IV Pro vs Ghost Golf Bag

[hypergolf]

Has anyone tried both? Which is better? Pros and cons for each? Thanks.

I’ve owned both, but have only had my Vessel 4 Pro a couple weeks.  I like the Vessel much better to this point.  More pocket space, a more classy look (didn’t care for the Ghost branding after a while), I just like it better.  Perhaps I would have more to offer given more time in the new Vessel.

How about the divider system? Only reason why I am intrigued about ghost right now is the 7 divider system. Does the 7 divider system with putter slot work well? 

Vessel player iv pro only has 6. 
 

Did this make much of a difference? Thanks

I had the Player III and now have the Pro IV DXR.  Clubs getting tangled was an issue with the III, Vessel resolved that with the Pro IV.

Is the main difference between DXR vs Player IV Pro the material?

 Yep, that’s it.

I am indifferent on the 6 vs 7 dividers really.  I actually prefer a 4 divider top over them both. If anything, it seems the 7th divider just takes space from the others, so I might lean towards 6 if I had to pick.

I just picked up the Anyday Saya bag from GG.  I've personally never owned a Vessel golf bag, but i do currently own the previous model of the Titleist Tour Stand Bag, which is made by Vessel to my understanding.  

Either way, the GG bag is great.  There is plenty of room on the side pockets IMO to store a pullover or rain gear, in addition to the rain hood.  The leather on the bag is top quality and the bag comes with both a staff bag loop and a leather carry straps.  Some of the zipper pulls are little off putting, but those can be removed.  I was able to purchase the bag with a 20% off coupon via Facebook/IG, so that's the main reason i purchased the bag.

I've had a Vessel players stand bag for several years and found it to be really great quality and has held up very well.  No complaints.  Highly recommend.  One thing is if you're going to use it on a golf cart to use one of the protective sleeves for the cart strap.  Several places to purchase them.  Stops the wear marks.  Probably good idea for most bags used on carts.

how do the cooler lined pockets compare? how many drinks can each one hold?

Does anyone here actually carry their bag between the Vessel & Golf Golf Club?

 

I am curious to hear about the better of the two from a carry perspective…

 

I currently have been using a push cart, but said it’s time to get back into carrying my bag… 

 

I 100% would be going 14 way divider system for organization/less noise…

I have a vessel player III with 6-way divider rarely ever have clubs tangling issues , it’s very sharp looking great quality get a ton of compliments on it.  I was a PING Hoofer guy forever until I bought the vessel. . . for walking the PING is probably still superior if you actually carry the bag as the vessel is significantly heavier, the Ping is more basic and was no frills.  I mainly ride now so it’s not a factor for me.  I have no experience with ghost golf other than I bought a belt from them.  I would just buy the vessel it’s premium quality, they make many of the bags on your r including Tiger’s.

I have 2 Vessel VLS - one Lux and one non-Lux - and I have carried them both. I bought the non-Lux model to be my primary carry bag. I love it. Clubs fit great, not a lot of tangle (I play CP2 wrap midsize), and the weight is really light for a bag of this caliber.
