Stand Bags

[golfinanuj]

I am purchasing AP1s soon and they need a new home, I was between two stand bags. My choices were either Titleist Lightweight Stand Bag or the Ping Hoofer Vantage. I know both will be great bags but would like some feedback. I'm aware of the great reputation of the Hoofer and would like to delve but would appreciate some opinions before I decide.

I'm interested in feedback on these also, but also curious what people think about the Ogio Vaporlite.

I currently have a Hoofer (circa 1996) and its finally time to give in to a new bag. Its my old high school bag with team name and logo all over it, and its time to move on I figure ;). It's actually in really good shape for a bag thats seen 500+ rounds.

Generally speaking, Ogio makes quality bags. I've not played with the Vaporlite specifically, but I had an Edge for awhile and it was a nice bag. I ended up swapping it for a Nike Sasquatch this past Fall for the individual club compartments.

Ogio makes good bags, I had a Ozone standing in the check out and decided I liked the Mizuno bag better so I orded that.

I had an ogio earlier in the year but the legs were crap-tastic so I took it back. But I believe it was just the particular model I bought.

I have also been looking around at a new stand bag. I currently have the Nike Sasquatch as well because of the individual pockets and I have been looking to see if there was a bag any better and lighter out there.

For my opinion on the Sasquatch bag, I really like it. At times it feels a bit heavy but that is probably due to me filling it full of crap. It has plenty of pockets and so far the legs have held up well.

This. My Sasquatch stand bag is my favorite piece of equipment. it fits on carts ok, and is perfect for everything else I want it for: 14 way divider, light, great shoulder straps, legs pop out well, looks fantastic. Its about 170 new but you can find old models (different colors) for 1/2 that. I rant and rave about my bag to every golfer I know.

Quick related question, I found a Taylormade MAG F1 stand bag on sale for $99, but it weights 10 lbs, Seems a bit heavy for a stand bag... is it worth it or will the weight get to me?

Does anyone use the Founder Club 13 eay stand bag?

If you walk that is alot of weight. A few pounds makes a huge difference. I have an old titleist walking bag. The bigger version, it is nice, but I wish I bought the LW version.

I would get the lightest possible bag if you are walking. You can find a really nice lightwieght walking bag for that or less.

There are quite a few "quality" stand bags out there, but in my opinion, if you're going with a stand bag, PING is the only way to go. I hate the mechanism for the stand on other bags (the big plastic piece sticking out on the bottom of the bag).

I love my vapor lite.

The only downside is, its starting to show some wear and its only a year old-but I am at the course at least 5 days a week and I really don't go out of my way to baby anything. Its got plenty of pockets for walking, and I will never again buy a bag that doesn't have a water bottle holder I can easily reach while walking.
