Thanks for the review, I’ve been back and forth researching a few bags exclusively for walking, pulled the trigger on a Hoofer because of this video. Best bag I’ve had, absolutely no issues. No club tangle, everything drops into place when you pick it up. Great video!

best review out right now for this bag. Well done Jeff!

I was looking for a camo bag and you sold me on this Hoofer. Used one back in the high school days. Great review, new sub.

I just bought one, used it for the first time on course yesterday! Definitely more comfortable than my previous TaylorMade bag after walking 18 holes. I think I should have bought the Hoofer Lite as I don’t need all those pockets. I live on n Western Australian and rarely take an umbrella or rain gear. Maybe a couple of times a year only. Quality of manufacture is excellent. Very good materials used. Design is excellent but a couple of things I don’t like are the pivoting base which causes the wedges to jump up 2-3 inches and the clubs do not go in and out freely as they seem to stick in the base. Those diving ridges take up valuable space in the bottom of the bag and contribute to the clubs getting jammed against each other. I know that’s a design trade off but they could have made the base diameter larger or just removed those ridges. But if it annoys and distracts you every time to pull out a club and replace it then it’s not properly functional and needs fixed. I have 13 clubs normally. At the top end of the bag I put driver, fairway and hybrid in the top left and just the putter in the top right and that’s to ensure easy pull out every time. I would like to see a six way divider and three handles at the top. If you look at the TaylorMade bags you will see the three handles and I use the two side ones when I am walking and lifting the bag between the cars in the garage. Just saying. Anyway it’s only one round played and I will see how we go. Overall I am 8/10, just reduced for that crowded base issue.

Excellent review. I have researching this bag and it was great to see all the pockets and how they are used. Most importantly getting feedback and views on the club divider i.e. 5 vs 14 way. This review helped me decide to purchase the Ping Hoofer.

For anyone wondering, this is the only non vinyl lightweight carry bag with a magnetic ball/rangefinder pocket. You literally can't miss, buy it.

Thank you for making this excellent review. I watched it the other day, and it helped convince me to buy the ping hoofer. 👍

I’m a Ping fan and have owned tons of Ping equipment and it pains me to say I prefer my Ghost bag over this current Hoofer. I’m sure I’m in the minority when I say that for me it has too many pockets/ nooks and crannies. I would need a map of the pockets. It becomes a scavenger hunt for me just to find what I’m looking for. I’m playing golf not going on a Trans Continental excursion. Keep it simple Ping. Great in depth review!

Great review! Bought this exact bag based on this.

Terrific review. Have you messed with the Hoofer Lite at all? Any idea how significant the weight difference is, not just on a scale but how it feels walking a round? I’m trying to decide between them and sort of stuck. On one hand, I walk nearly every round I play, so the Hoofer Lite seems like the right call there. On the other hand, it’s a long Midwestern winter here, and I like to have room over these months to load up my bag with training aids, winter layers, etc. for trips to the range when it’s above freezing - which seems like an argument for the Hoofer. I also think that cactus colorway on the Hoofer looks awesome. I’m stuck, but would love to hear any advice or thoughts! (And maybe I’ll just end up buying both … my wife would not be happy, though!)

The hip pad feature should be re-designed and the club jam, club tangling problem is a deal breaker. The bottom design base doesn’t work when the dividers don’t ho all the way down and attach to the base. I wanted to love this bag but sent it back

awesome review mate

Great, in-depth review! Two questions: Do the double straps get in the way when putting the bag on a riding cart? And is there a video showing how to convert if from two straps to just one? (I don't carry my clubs much but do like the bag stand).

I haven't purchased a bag since 2007 so forgive me if this is a dumb question... Do the shoulder straps still retract into the bag? I loved that about my old Hoofer. I would purchase the 2007 model again if I could find one, but I just purchased one of these online and made the assumption that was still a feature.

Have you tested out the aces and pins bags yet? They look similar to a vessel imo but at the fraction of the cost.

If I never walk, but still want a hybrid style bag like this…I feel there should be zero club tangle whatsoever because I’m not moving it around….correct?

Great video, haven’t heard good things about the lightweight version but everyone seems to enjoy this standard model

Great review! Is the American Flag patch velcro as well or stitched on?

It would be cool if you could review the g fore Daytona

Will his work and be stable on a push cart?

Can you detach both of the straps??

These are a great bag, but the camo is questionable. I’d probably think twice before playing with someone that is that into camo.

Hi what's that inverted hook on the bag between the legs for?

It has an American Flag patch but is it Made in America ?

Can you show how this converts to single strap?
