Wellzher Bags?

[smole]

My trusty Jones bag of 6 years has to be retired this year and I'm in the market for a decent stand bag with a simple, uncluttered look.

 

Has anyone gamed a stand bag from Wellzher? I ran across their booth at the local golf show and was drawn to the bag for its clean look with very discreet branding. the choice of some materials in the construction of the bag left me a bit skeptical, particularly the thin webbing material used in the shoulder strap. I would provide a link to their website, but I'm not sure if the Mods here would frown upon such a thing as I don't think the company is a site sponsor.

 

Thanks.

I saw this at a show as well. I like the cart bag, but the stand bag seemed a little flimsy. I wound up getting a Bag Boy Revolver as I needed a cart bag and the price was right. Had I not gotten the BB I would have felt ok with the Wellzher cart bag. Overall I like their bags, they just didn't have exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks for the reply. That's the feeling I got as well, the cart bags looked substantially better than the stand bag in terms of quality. I did like the thought that went into the design layout as far as number of pockets and intuitive placement of things. I think I'll take a look at the Ogio Stealth bags.

I am also looking for any feedback that can be provided to the quality of their products (specifically their cart bag and travel bag). I visited their booth a number of times while I was at a golf show today, and their cart bag looked to be put together as well as any other bag I have looked at. Hopefully someone can provide a review of their products.

Thanks in advance

I looked at those too, but mainly just the stand bag. I liked it until I put the legs out and gave it a "wiggle". It rolled way too far left and right for me. I like a bag that doesn't feel like it rolls of their center of balance. I felt like I was rolling the bag outside the leg joint when I moved it one way or another. I walked away at that point.

Seems its à Chinese manufacturer. Guess all bags are produced there, but I prefer the US brands and its topnotch customer service.
Was looking at the chameleon omni stand bag. Read review om amazon that the leg stand was not so great on hard smooth surfaces like asphalt.

[What's a slice?]

Actually bought this bag (the Chameleon Pro Stand Bag). Well thought out design right down to the feet, which are wider so they don't sink into soft turf. I use this bag primarily as a cart bag (a strap secures the legs for cart use). But it's a great, lightweight stand bag with features I haven't seen on other bags. The strap is VERY comfortable and distributes the pressure very well. Time will tell for the durability, but so far so good. Little things like an easy access scorecard slot, a GPS holder and a headcover sack that pops out so you don't leave them behind or have to throw them on the ground are very well thought out. I saw the review stating the instability on hard surface. I suspect the writer was referring to a hard, uneven surface because it's fine on flat surfaces. For the money, it's a great bargain and it's understated design doesn't scream a manufacturers name. Some like the clubmakers name on the bag, I prefer the stealth.
When I arrive at a club I warm up on the driving range and this bag is perfect for that task. I don't walk that often but if you want maximum light weight you can even zip off the large storage side of the bag which then reveals a couple webbed stretch receptacles that will hold a few balls and gloves...The strap integrates a pouch for cell phone (I use my phone as a GPS and it's readily accessible and easy to locate). It doesn't have the heft or sturdiness of a cart bag and if that's all you have a need for, then Ogio has the best bags I've seen. But if you spend a lot of time at the range and walk occasionally, I highly recommend it.
