2011 Ogio Grom

[glk23]

I've had a 08 Grom for a couple of years and really like it alot. The only flaw for me was a couple of the zippers angled and constant use began to pull the seems out on a couple of pockets. All was good until Sept. when the outside pocket zipper completely came apart leaving the pocket open and not much use.

Sent an email to Ogio not expecting much and they surprised me by offering 50% off a new bag. Went to look at the zippers on the 2010 and was happy they were all straight with less pressure points. Called Ogio three weeks ago to order it and not only was it 50% off but they shipped it free. Got an email about a week after ordering that they were waiting on the 2011's and would send me one of those as soon as they were in. First thought was, sweet getting the brand new model.

Bag arrived and the first thing I noticed was the Woode system was gone and instead there is a 14 way diamond divider system. Clubs seem to set up nicely, plus better shoulder straps, stand system and ball holder. Zipper all straight down with plenty of room for everything. Finally was able to go out today with it and I like it alot. For some it may be a little on the heavy side, but I walked and carried the 08 all season with no problems.

I just did a quick search on the net for pics of the new divider system and can't seem to find any, even on the Ogio site. Any chance you could upload a few pics of your new bag? I'd love to see the changes.

I bought a 2010 Grom about a month ago and love it. I've only been able to walk 9 so far, but the extra weight wasn't an issue.

The new staff bag is pretty tasty. Would go rather well with a Ghost putter and R11 driver.

That Staff bag looks really nice. I'm adding that to my wish list for next season.

wow, I love the grom, but hate the woode divider system. I'll definitely look into this.

I'm in almost the same boat. I love my 08 Grom, but the place where the shoulder strap attaches to the bag is ripping out. I would jump at the chande to get a new Grom.

How did you word your email?

How come? I think the Woode system is great.

I simply told them what had happened and that I was going to need to get a new bag. Threw in a line about possibly looking into a different brand if durability was a problem with Ogio. Like I said, I was surprised they offered up anything.

i love my 2010 Grom.. i hope i'm not envious of the 2011!

Well, I don't think the wood system is bad, but I think I've been spoiled by 14-way bags and now I can never go back. the main reason I didn't like the wood system is that when the bag goes in my trunk, the clubs get all discombobulated (which will happen with any less than 14-way bag.

[Zeph]

I'll agree there. Dividers which single out the woods, putter and each of the three iron compartments would be nice.

i may have to send them an email and see if i can get that same deal. the ball pocket zipper on my vaporlite was a pretty poor design IMO and has completely broken off. the legs don't extend all the way when you sit it down and the fabric is ripping in a couple places, all after 2 seasons.

They offered me the same 50% off, but I did notice that the price at ogio.com is $220, compared to retail of $189. What price did they charge you?

$110 to my door.

I'd sure love to see some real life pics of this 2011 Grom. I'm on my 2nd 2010 Grom of the year and now I may have to send it back too. The divider flaps at the bottom have come loose in both and the clubs get all bunched up. I'm an OGIO fan, have owned several  and currently own 2 others besides my Grom, a Stinger 2 cart bag and a Voltage. Really don't like the way the clubs rest on top of one another when sitting, makes for alot of chatter when moving. My Voltage and Vission SS before this didn't allow them sit that way.

I sent Leslee in customer service @ OGIO an email yesterday explaining my problem and she said pick whichever bag I want to replace it with and she'll take care of it FREE of charge. That's customer service!

[just hit it]

Just bought a new 2010 ogio grom.  Haven't had a chance to play yet, think I will like the woode top.  To get the customer service you guys talk about, did you register the bag when you bought it, save the receipt, or just tell them you have one and have a problem?

I had, and still have a sun mountain C-130, great bag just too big.  Felt I needed to apologize to others when they tried to load their bag onto back of cart.  Told myself I was going to walk more this year, the grom looks like it will still work great on a cart, fits on my speed cart, and not to heavy to carry.  Think it will be a winner.  I am a little worried about the zippers, hence my question about customer service.

[glk23]

I'm the OP and never registered mine or anything.  Called on a whim after the zippers blew out and didn't expect much.  Been real happy with my new Grom and it carries just fine as I walk pretty much all the time.
