fantastic quality for the price
June 2, 2020
I really hate the reviews that people do before they've even used the product they've received and ordinarily would not do such a thing. But, we're still pretty locked down where I live and although I've had the bag for a couple of weeks I haven't been able to use it on the course yet. But although I haven't been able to play with it, I have "played with it" quite a bit - in my basement, in my yard, and yes - even in the bedroom :). I've set my clubs up, perfected the strap adjustments, and played multiple rounds in my imagination.
So while I can't tell you how it feels on my shoulders walking up the hill on the 18th hole or how it still looks like new after 3 months of play I can tell you it's a fantastic bag for the low-low-low Rock Bottom Golf price that I paid ($70 to my front door), it looks great, it did come with a rain cover (I've seen some reviews that said it does not), it feels like it will carry well, and is very sturdy but still light. Unlike my cart bag my previous stand-bag did not have individual slots for each club. I love playing with a well organized bag - a place for everything and everything in it's place, as they say. The individual club slots seem to help reduce the rattling/clunking, make it easy to find the club you're looking for, and most importantly will help ensure you don't leave that wedge next to the green or that extra 7 iron that you took up on the tee box just in case there when you walk off.
I did solve the mystery of the "zip-off pocket". I've seen reviews that said it didn't have a zip-off pocket. I was scratching my head for a couple of days since I also was unable to find a pocket that zipped off. I expected a removable beverage pocket or maybe a valuables pocket that was completely removable from the bag. The zip-off pocket is actually just the flap that opens/closes the large pocket on the bottom of the bag - the "flap" zips completely off so you can have your name embroidered on it by your local seamstress. Not a big deal either way but if I hadn't had so much time to "play with it" in the basement I probably would have joined the bunch that assumed it was a cut-and-paste error in the bag's description.
