I have had my eyes on a new PING hoofer bag
I tried one on in the store and could not get ovet the strap system
I have read that they are the best ........ really?

I even loaded it up w clubs etc., and could not get used to it
I wear the bag right shoulder first and the stupid strap felt like it was cutting into my arm pit
is there a "trick" or whats the deal w them?

Strange, I don't think there is a particular trick to use these straps...
But it seems that hoofer bags and this strap system is loved or hated...heyy, I love mine!...

The Ping Latitude I had, had the "Ping retractable strap" that lengthens under weight and retracts when you take the weight off the shoulder strap.
I got on fine with this over both shoulders but the bag lasted a year before the piece of elastic band that makes the strap retract snapped and the strap did not retract anymore :(

well i picked up a Hoofer Vantage
they are normally $249 and it was on sale for $129

this one actually retracts at the top and bottome
the Freestyle i tried last year, only retracted from the top, which isnt as effective
I had the sales duded load it up and show me hoe to properly adjust it

i know get why so many people play them

happy w the purchase so far

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?

      Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
