Well THP, it finally happened. I found a bag that I'm happy with!!!
Now that that's out of the way, I'm so pleased with the bag that I decided to do a quick review of it in the event there are others considering picking one up! I was actually looking at this bag (albeit in black since the matte black wasn't available yet) last year, but when I got quoted $200 shipping out here to Hawaii that made the purchase unrealistic. I saw Molten post about his the other day so I decided to try and find one from a vendor that wasn't going to charge me the price of a bag for shipping and I found this bag on eBay with much more reasonable shipping. Enough of that...on to the review!
After going over the entire bag, it literally has many of the features I enjoyed on the Ping Hoofer and the Sun Mountain Four 5. The overall quality is way better, which is what you'd expect when paying over $300 for a golf bag!
Vessel Golf Player Stand Bag, 14-way, Matte Black
The good:
- The layout of the 14-way top, especially the putter well!
- Plenty of storage including a 'stealth' valuables pocket with a lock!
- Extremely comfortable straps
- Stealthy design with very few logos (I'm a fan of the incognito look)
- Enclosed base with smooth stand leg deployment
- No tangling when pulling clubs out of the bag (I use midsize grips)
- Impressive build quality
The okay:
- The towel hook/loop doubles as a ball marker, which looks kind of odd.
- No dedicated water bottle pouch. The cold item zipper pouch looks to be more dual use, so we'll see how it is on the course.
Simply put, I could've saved myself some money figuring out a way to get this bag last year. Either way, I'm glad I ended up with one and I look forward to getting some mileage on this incredibly sexy golf bag!
Feel free to post any questions in the thread and I hope y'all found this to be useful!
