Adidas Strike AG bag

[jonnyg]

Order placed hopefully I will get it for the weekend.

I wIll post some pics of the black/white/black option once I have it.

I always walk so I don't think the club tangling will be an issue, the clubs occasionally get tangled in my Titleist bag, this should be slightly better as there will be less clubs in each divider section. I'm going to arrange like


Dr, 3W, 2H
--------------
3i,4i | 5i,6i
--------------
7i,8i | 9i,PW
---------------
51,58, Putter

I currently have a 6 way / 3 row divider in the titleist and is setup as

Dr, 3W, 2H, 3i
--------------------
4,5,6 | 7,8,9
--------------------
PW, 51,58 | Putter

This top should suit me better.

It's arrived!! I Will post pics as soon as I get chance and once its fully loaded. I will also weight it whilst empty.

First impressions.
[list][*]Its as light, if not slightly lighter as my Titleist lightweight (sx-6) and definitely lighter than the Taylormade pure light.[/list][list][*]The material on the top cuff seems like it will wear quicker than the Titleist, but that said, I have had two titleist's and the top cuff has worn quickly, the second is down to the plastic after two years of intermittent use.[/list][list][*]Pockets are a good size, when full they may take up space next to the clubs, but I will need to fill them to see. My titliest was bad at this also.[/list][list][*]The stand is very stable, but there are lots of drainage holes on the bottom and there is a hole where the stand mechanism goes into the bag, this may cause water ingress.[/list][list][*]The rain hood is crap!. Very flimsy and does not cover the top cuff very well, I will have to use my waterproof bag cover when it rains.[/list][list][*]The straps are the best or as good as the best I have felt on my shoulders, even on one shoulder.[/list][list][*]The internal dividers are not full length. My titleist full length dividers go to the base pretty much. These sit 2-3 inches off the base. It may be good enough, I just need to test. I can see why the clubs would jam a bit when on the back of a buggy.[/list]Overall I am very happy, I am just being super critical and some factors may not even be an issue. I would love to get hold of other bags and review them properly and give a good account but I cannot afford to do so

Updates will come.

After looking at my not so old but knackered Titleist bag, I think I was a bit over critical.

The top cuff material is as good as the titleist. I do think I will get more bag chatter with the layout on the adidas

Its slightly lighter than the titleist but is not the 1.9kg that they specify. more like 2.2kg the Titleist was 2.4kg.

WHY CAN'T MANUFACTURERS STATE THE ACTUAL WEIGHT OF THEIR BAGS!! This really angers me so much I'm going to write to the manufacturer and ask why. The label on the bag states 1.95kg, the websites quote 1.9kg!

Here are some crappy camera phone pics, I will replace with some decent pics when I get the chance.

Does it have a FAST connector on the Shoulder strap?

Not sure what it's for but there is a hard plastic "nipple" (for want of a better description) thing on one of the straps.

I previously had an Adidas bag and regretted selling it so I found one of these for £50 on the bay and I'm loving it so far - best feature = proper cooler lined pocket big enough for 2 slim, small water bottles

That nub on the strap is for the accessories that they sell for it. Like the gps holder, phone holder, cigar holder ETC...
