In January of this year we reviewed an exciting new cart bag from RevCore, a brand underneath the CaddyDaddy umbrella. While we found a ton to love, not everybody is going to gravitate towards a larger bag designed almost solely for cart use. One thing we have always admired about CaddyDaddy (and RevCore) as a brand is they listen to their consumers’ needs and respond. In the case of their new Premium Stand Bag, the company went above and beyond in that regard. Not only did they deliver a bag that could be used both for carrying and on a cart, RevCore reached out to our THP Forum members in the design stage to gain insight on what the average golf enthusiast looks for in a high-end stand bag.
RevCore Premium Stand Bag Features
The new RevCore bag is firmly in the “luxury” class of golf bags and is loaded with features to make the golfer’s experience as convenient as possible. However, as we’ve come to expect from this company, it comes at an extremely accessible price for the level of quality it delivers. At $279, it brings high-end materials and performance to consumers that might normally have to sacrifice to stay within their budget. In addition, it comes with a handful of extras that make the total package even more appealing.
As is evident in the photographs above, the Premium Stand Bag is constructed of a foam backed premium synthetic leather that not only gives fantastic curb appeal, but also retains its shape and can be easily cleaned to stay looking fresh. RevCore has done a wonderful job of balancing sturdiness and suppleness with their material of choice. Stiff enough to withstand the stresses of regular use, it still manages to feel soft to the touch. At this time, there are two color options available: the navy blue seen in the pictures above and a delightful all black version. You’ll find the RevCore name embroidered on the straps and sides of the bag, along with textured lines that provide additional depth.
Available in both a six-way and fourteen-way top, the RevCore Premium Stand Bag is positioned to meet the needs of many potential users. The fourteen-way top is just an inch wider, and both versions have the same felt-lined dividers that not only look great but also provide ample protection for graphite shafts. We found the full-length dividers on the six-way top provided plenty of room for multiple clubs without unwanted sticking. While it’s not really possible to avoid all instances of this in a bag this size, we were impressed to see how easy it was to remove clubs, even while the legs were extended.
While this isn’t a feather-lite carry bag in the minimalist vein, it’s certainly carriable and the user is given a couple options right out of the box. First, a single strap is included for those that may find themselves riding or using a push cart more often. This option is less intrusive for those scenarios while still providing a convenient way to move the bag from car to cart. For those looking to walk, the RevCore also comes with dual shoulder straps. Both straps easily attach or detach with metal rings and clasps. In addition, both types of straps are heavily padded with a soft felt-like backing material. We tested both options and found they each performed admirably for their respective functions. A neoprene cover is also supplied for the single strap, a bonus feature designed to provide additional protection from the weather.
As you might expect from a bag of this type, RevCore’s Premium Stand Bag has a great deal of storage space. In total, it features four zippered pockets (one full length side pocket, a smaller side pocket, one of the front that can be removed for embroidery, and a felt-lined, waterproof valuables pocket), a magnetic closure pocket, and two insulated cooler pockets (with drains) for drinks or water bottles. While not quite as cavernous as RevCore’s Cart Bag, the space for storage is ample and conveniently located. The addition of a magnetic pocket is sure to be attractive to many potential users.
Additional bonus features we love include a large and sturdy towel ring attached conveniently to a Velcro glove holder. Like the cart bag’s, this ring is wide enough to accommodate the largest towels in our collection. As with everything we see from CaddyDaddy, the black alloy hardware and zippers are incredibly high quality and should last for years and years. The center handle is constructed of black ABS and is shaped nicely to fit in the hand. Also, a well-positioned pen pocket is large enough to securely fit a small marker for marking your golf balls. Lastly, the Premium Stand Bag comes with a truly remarkable rain cover. Unfortunately, we forgot to photograph it, but it’s constructed of the same material as the main bag and is structured enough that it stands up on its own. It’s zippered and provides easy access to your clubs.
We found above-average stability while using the RevCore, whether the legs were extended or the bag was sitting on its base. The legs were easy to deploy but did a good job of staying put when we wanted them to, due in part to a restraining strap at the base. The bag fit well on both push and riding carts and seemed to stay in place better than we sometimes experience with stand bags. Some of this was undoubtedly due to the slightly larger footprint and structured outer materials. In all, this is a bag that will surely last for years to come thanks to the plethora of quality materials used in its construction. On the off-chance that you experience problems, CaddyDaddy is known for its best-in-class customer service.
