It's amazing how professional golfers professionals go ahead and give away things out of their own pocket community and other people absolutely love that.
I ended up with the Ping bag. Btw, the rain hood is hidden under the padding for your hip. I like the Mizuno too but the way Ping integrates the mechanism to expand the feet is the best. Many other companies sticks out and can sometimes scrape the bag of your calf if you are not careful. Only Ping, Titliest, and Taylormade bags has this.
I carry that very same Ping Craz-E-Lite bag and it's awesome! Two things... 1. I attach my glove(s) to the top plastic handle. Better that velcro IMO. 2. The rain cover is located in the back cushion of the golf bag.
There is an additional design feature that folks should consider, and that is whether the base of the bag is fixed (Callaway, Mizuno and Sun Mountain) or moving (Titleist and Ping). Each of the fixed base bags have an external pedal (for lack of a better term) that activates the legs when you put the bag down. Both the Ping and the Titleist have the mechanism inside the bag such that the base actually moves every time you put the bag down, jostling the clubs and causing them to move. Up to each of you whether this annoys you or not, but it did annoy me when I was carrying my previous Ping Hoofer 14 (I stopped carrying now that I am over 60). That said, I do prefer the pedal-free movable base type because I now use a 3 wheel push cart, but desire a stand bag for trips to the range. The absence of the pedal makes it easier to mount on my cart. I am currently using a pedal-free Titleist stand bag with a 14 way top and a BagBoy Nitron push cart. My Titleist bag does not have the Velcro for your glove, which I do appreciate, but I created one with by attaching a velcro cable tie (you may already own some!) to one of the many available loops on any bag. Also a comment on the rain hoods, which Matt said the Ping did not have, but someone already pointed out where it was (there is even an arrow next to the leg pointing to the rain hood pocket!). This gives the Ping the advantage of not cluttering up one of the otherwise usable pockets with the rain hood. So...given the choices here, any player who wants a stand bag but uses a cart (there must be others), I would probably give the nod to Ping since it is pedal-free, and uses the pockets more efficiently.
I have used a Callaway bag for the past 3 years and it has been the most comfortable bag I have ever used. With that said the Mizuno and Ping are both clean!
Definitely good choice with the very sharp Mizuno bag. My favorite for simplicity and no frills ease of use is the Ping. Classic, light, easy on and off, great bag. Nice work. Always great entertaining reviews!
Like the Mizuno carry bag as have used a previous model during UK winters when courses don't allow buggies or trolleys. My preference of the choice available would be the Ping bag, like the colours.
I love my Sun Mountain 2.5. I had the 3.5, too and they're great, light bags. I actually sewed a velcro patch right on top of the bottom pouch on both of them - so it's right where my left hand is. And I only put the needle into my finger like, four times!
Great video. But I did notice that when you weren't focused on whether the leg hits your leg, you grab the bags to pick them up differently. Specifically when you were down to the final two bags.
everyone knew you'd pick the Mizuno bag as soon as you said "i liked it" at 6:47. Everything else about that bag was cherry and nuts to make it better. The biggest feature you will like is the huge top opening and the horizontal club alignment. If you walk a lot, you'll notice the difference (irons aligned and not too much of pulling out of bag). GL and enjoy!
My Ping bag has a cover on the side that comes into contact with your back. Check for a zipped pocket. Maybe the decided against the cover for weight. Ping is the bag they’re trying to be. The hidden kick stand, access to the bottom of the bag, plus others features. That said, the one you selected would not have been in my top 3. I enjoyed the video.
My wife had a 96 Miata, of which at some point I ended up driving. I had to base my bag buying on whether it would fit in the trunk of the car. We had that thing for 24 years!
Just purchased the Mizuno BR D2 bag. Love it. It isn’t for everyone with its short legs. Extremely lightweight and can hold everything I need. Back in November it was on AMZN for $90
Same I hear give aways and my first thought is always what other social medias do I have to be involved in to even have a chance because I use none of them and won't and it pushes me away from YTBers when they combine all these things to win ( fair or not ) just how I feel
@@elig4056 plus he is giving them to people in his area only. Just ways to boost his followers. No pic of who won it. So just another click bait for them to get paid. Seems like a nice guy but they all do on YT. Unsubscribe and unfollowed him. Be real with your subs not toy them with giveaways. And turn into a click bait channel
@@KyKicks23 completely agree , I usually unsubscribe from YTers that do give aways on YT and then attach must follow me on IG and FB and so on and so forth cause I think that alone is b.s. Now you want to do a big give away then by all means but most of the give a ways should be whatever its on only if we being real I do not need all the other stuff to unfollow lol that's mostly enough for me Fact is if you gotta fool with ppl or be dis ingenious then just don't do give a ways keep it a 100 cause it all comes back to you 1 way or another in my OP Either way best of luck to him but I agree with you
I'm picking nits but those are "stand" bags. Jones makes actual "Carry" bags. By the time you load up all those fancy pockets the initial weight doesn't mean too much. I used to use stand bags and loved them, but once they all switched to backpack straps I switched to the classic Jones carry bag and love it.
Hi Matt, all the carry bags were very functionable and good looking. I have not carried a bag in over 30 years so good luck to all those that Subscribe to Instagram.
I thought you were all about that Callaway bag! My bag is a Callaway. Getting a bit old, but if I got one of these a new golfer would get to adopt mine.
Have to say there's a lot missed in this video, I feel there are many things that are more important than whether the stands are carbon fiber. Like how the water bottle pocket is, is it insulated or just a pocket? Also how's the build quality, while I'm sure they are all nice, im sure some are built with better quality than others
Carrying my bag and walking has completely changed my health and lifestyle. Walking allows you focus and enjoy the day. There are definitely challenges when it comes to find one that doesn’t get all of the clubs tangled. I used to think I had to carry everything but a lightweight bag can be a game changer. Following on instagram but name wont be pops man cave.
All the bags are nice, but I’m a type of person who prefer to use the same brand for bag and clubs…. I use Titliest clubs & bag for serious golfing, and Inesis clubs & bag for weekend range session or having 9 hole on sometime weekday morning by myself…both are excellent…
Got a mizuno cart bag for this season. I fell in love with the colors. That walking mizuno bag is sweet as well. Following on Instagram. Keep the videos coming. I enjoy the tips and reviews.
I would definitely say Callaway I've been a Callaway fan ever since since 2011 when I found a Callaway golf ball on the golf course and changed from Bridgestone 2 Callaway golf balls not only did my swing increase shorted the ability to hit further to become and get all of my gear to be Callaway I'm a Special Olympics player and I'm also the team captain of Washington State Port Angeles Sequim is David Carver it's been a great honor to watch all of these amazing videos that you guys put out they have helped me exponentially to the point where I was ask to talk about my accomplishments at Peninsula College while I was attending and right now my back is getting very close to needing to be replaced that right now being out of a job because of the pain dynamic I don't have the money for the very expensive Callaway bags from DC new coach
recently found this channel, recently took up golf too, and that looks like my home pga tour superstore(in the "north" metro Atlanta area too) I'm glad to stubbled onto all your knowledge! thank you, keep it up!
I just recently bought a Mizuno bag, the BR-D4, 6-way...most features of any bag I've ever had, the straps even clip on/off, that way they don't get in your way if you are using it on a cart.
Can you review how you work with the shoulder straps. How they attach to the bags. I wore my Athalonz shoes today at the range for the first time. Though they are a little tighter than my Footjoys they were comfortable. Even though my big toes point a little towards the pinky toe exposing the knuckle of the big toes the soft leather of the Athalonz shoes didn’t create pressure upon the slightly exposed knuckles. But as with my FootJoys the top of my left big toe became red due to friction with the top of the toe box when I swing the clubs. Maybe I need to learn to not pull my left big toe back as I hit into the ball. One bandaid and some white tape also solves this problem. I learned today to keep my left wrist quiet during the backswing , and during the waggle before the backswing. Creating absolute stability in my left wrist prevented any premature cocking of the wrists during the takeaway of the backswing. It led to a very comfortable downswing with my right hand exerting control throughout the swing.
What do you expect when you stick your leg in between the closing mechanism 😂 that’s like shutting your fingers in the door and being like “I don’t like when the door closes on my fingers when I put them in the door jam” 😂
Would love to you do a review of best golf bags for push carts. I have stand bag I’ll use for shorter courses, but on longer courses or hotter days in Texas I’ll use my push cart. But stand bags don’t work very well in push carts because they tend to bounce around too much.
Love this review, but you did miss a lot on the callaway. They have insulated cooling for water bottles in the side pocket, fishing hole at the bottom just like ping
The Ping bag would look good down here in Texas!! Going to be walking a round or two a month as I start a journey to a better lifestyle and healthier life
Great review congrats they only thing with ping ok no rain cover but is only one who has sistem that when you lift it up the legs always are stick into the bag quickly. Nice video
Honestly I've watched a couple videos and this gentleman is funny, creative, smart. Really like how he's honest. Not brand pushy and just a cool dude.
The Hood for the ping should be inside the padded hip thing :D
Ping did a great job finding a place for the rain hoods within the back pad. Saves space, and adds comfort.
Just entirely destroyed his rep at knowing anything at all! 😂
@@ducatidad8231 This guy made so many mistakes. Why even watch this video, he didn't even learn or test the bags.
It’s an honest review, and he didn’t just regurgitate specs.
The rain cover for the ping bag is in the padded area. There is a symbol on the bag saying rain cover.
It's all about that Ping Hoofer. Bought that bag about 6 months ago and haven't had any regrets.
It's amazing how professional golfers professionals go ahead and give away things out of their own pocket community and other people absolutely love that.
Well, they get followers, they earn money from us. When we watch ads.
He’s not a pro
That back cushion is where Ping hides rain cover
Good to know I’ll look there
Was it in there?
@@MrShortGame That's where it is. It is attached too, so you can't lose it.
Also, to be pedantic, isn't that actually a Hoofer Lite :)
Great idea for a video.
Thats where It is. When I bought mine, I couldn't find it at first either.
4:40 the ping bag does have a rain cover. It’s actually attached to the bag in a secret pocket behind the cushion for your back
I ended up with the Ping bag. Btw, the rain hood is hidden under the padding for your hip. I like the Mizuno too but the way Ping integrates the mechanism to expand the feet is the best. Many other companies sticks out and can sometimes scrape the bag of your calf if you are not careful. Only Ping, Titliest, and Taylormade bags has this.
Thats what makes the Ping bag even cooler. Its so hidden and it's behind the padding so it provides comfort for your back while its hidden away.
@@ILik3PH0T0hows the ping bag holding up 1 year later?
I carry that very same Ping Craz-E-Lite bag and it's awesome! Two things...
1. I attach my glove(s) to the top plastic handle. Better that velcro IMO.
2. The rain cover is located in the back cushion of the golf bag.
Bag still going strong?
@monaownza yes. Only issue is there is some club pull. More so if you have larger grips. Not a deal breaker. Bag is sooooooo light!
There is an additional design feature that folks should consider, and that is whether the base of the bag is fixed (Callaway, Mizuno and Sun Mountain) or moving (Titleist and Ping). Each of the fixed base bags have an external pedal (for lack of a better term) that activates the legs when you put the bag down. Both the Ping and the Titleist have the mechanism inside the bag such that the base actually moves every time you put the bag down, jostling the clubs and causing them to move. Up to each of you whether this annoys you or not, but it did annoy me when I was carrying my previous Ping Hoofer 14 (I stopped carrying now that I am over 60). That said, I do prefer the pedal-free movable base type because I now use a 3 wheel push cart, but desire a stand bag for trips to the range. The absence of the pedal makes it easier to mount on my cart. I am currently using a pedal-free Titleist stand bag with a 14 way top and a BagBoy Nitron push cart. My Titleist bag does not have the Velcro for your glove, which I do appreciate, but I created one with by attaching a velcro cable tie (you may already own some!) to one of the many available loops on any bag.
Also a comment on the rain hoods, which Matt said the Ping did not have, but someone already pointed out where it was (there is even an arrow next to the leg pointing to the rain hood pocket!). This gives the Ping the advantage of not cluttering up one of the otherwise usable pockets with the rain hood.
So...given the choices here, any player who wants a stand bag but uses a cart (there must be others), I would probably give the nod to Ping since it is pedal-free, and uses the pockets more efficiently.
Ping rain cover is in the back pad. Also cool to see you. Hope the fam is all good.
Really like the simplicity of the Ping bag, everything you need and nothing you don't
Ping puts the rain cover under the back cushion for extra padding
I have used a Callaway bag for the past 3 years and it has been the most comfortable bag I have ever used. With that said the Mizuno and Ping are both clean!
Definitely good choice with the very sharp Mizuno bag. My favorite for simplicity and no frills ease of use is the Ping. Classic, light, easy on and off, great bag. Nice work. Always great entertaining reviews!
My rain hood is in a little pocket just to the right of the puffy part of the hoofer near the top. Its easy to miss if you're not looking for it.
Like the Mizuno carry bag as have used a previous model during UK winters when courses don't allow buggies or trolleys. My preference of the choice available would be the Ping bag, like the colours.
I love my Sun Mountain 2.5. I had the 3.5, too and they're great, light bags. I actually sewed a velcro patch right on top of the bottom pouch on both of them - so it's right where my left hand is. And I only put the needle into my finger like, four times!
It was a sign of relief when he said he was keeping the Mizuno, there’s is still a chance I can get the Ping bag 😤😮
instablaster
FYI, the rain hood is behind the padding of the back support on the Ping bag.
I can’t imagine the nice stuff you must’ve bought Mrs. ShortGame for her to allow this 😉
He can write this all off. It's a business expense.
She knows where her bread is buttered
He makes his own living, why does he need permission from anyone what he buys to run his business? Get out of the dark ages boomer.
@@sullygully1976 Slow down before you trip up. It was a joke. And I’m nowhere near being a boomer

Ping has been my golf bag of choice for years. That vertical zipper on Mizuno bag is game changer!!!
Great video. But I did notice that when you weren't focused on whether the leg hits your leg, you grab the bags to pick them up differently. Specifically when you were down to the final two bags.
Love the look of the Titleist bag!
Do u know what model bag it is?
The ping bag is my favorite. The rain hood is under the back pad.
The Ping cover is built into the bag...inside a zippered pocket. Keep looking!!
I agree with your to pick. Love the Mizuno bag. But for sleek and understated, I gotta say.... Titleist
I agree with your choices...anyone of them... someone would be blessed to have one given to them
So I bought myself the Mizuno bag on your recommendation and I love it! It is such a great bag. Thank you for doing this video.
The mizuno bag with that vertical zipper sold me
the ping bagg has a rain hood
it is in the black part where it rests on your back, there is a zipper there with the rain hood in it.
blue, red and white for me!!! That zipper is huge for me.
Have to say my favourite is the Callaway. I like the classic traditional styling
I knew you was gonna go with the Mizuno from the moment I saw the bag! Great choice Mr. Shortgame!
A new stand bag would be nice. Recently started walking the course to get some exercise and its actually helping my game. WIN WIN

You could tell the Miz was winner in the shop by Mr SG's smile when he saw it to start with.
I’ve been a Callaway guy for a while so that Callaway bag would look nice carrying my new Apex’s 😎 you’re the man!
Mizuno bag with the straight zipper plus it looks awesome
Just purchased the Mizuno BR D2 bag. Love it. It isn’t for everyone with its short legs. Extremely lightweight and can hold everything I need.
Back in November it was on AMZN for $90
Very good analysis every time and what is most comforting these days is, you have apparently, not been bought.
The Ping or the Mizuno looks good, but i’m not an instagram person, darn

Hi there. You will probably find that the rain hood for Ping Hoofer is zingier the hip pad. Genius! Cheers.
I’ve been looking fo a golf carry bag to replace my old one. I’m glad you explained them all
You should try the 14 way divider carry bags... to make some comparizon and which you prefer 14 divider and 6 divider???
Missed one of the greatest design features of the Ping bagwith the rain hood built into the back pad for support.
Hi Matt, all the carry bags were very functionable and good looking. I have not carried a bag in over 30 years so good luck to all those that Subscribe to Instagram.

I just recently bought a Mizuno bag, the BR-D4, 6-way...most features of any bag I've ever had, the straps even clip on/off, that way they don't get in your way if you are using it on a cart.
Ping Hoofer. My wife bought me one about 25 years ago and I still use it and it is still in good shape.
I prefer a bag with 14 slots, one for each club. Sun Mountain has that bag. Usual use in push cart so leg action not a big issue.
Love the look of the Ping bag!
Definitely Mizuno # 1, Sun Mountain # 2, Titleist # 3. Love your videos.👍 Really helped my short game.
I’m still lugging and liking my Ogio bag!
Love my Ogio but it weighs in at 8 lbs.
I like the callaway the whole design is just slick

Like the look of the Mizuno, but Ping bags are always the most functional.

The Ping bag would go nicely with my new Ping G425 irons.
Love them all! Mine is 10 years old....Titleist.
The ping and the titleist look amazing
Love to carry but miss the 14 way divider on the cart bag
Love this review, but you did miss a lot on the callaway. They have insulated cooling for water bottles in the side pocket, fishing hole at the bottom just like ping
Luv the Titleist, clean look! Ping is a close second,
The Ping bag would look good down here in Texas!! Going to be walking a round or two a month as I start a journey to a better lifestyle and healthier life
mizuno looks awesome and i like the vertical zip
I'm not picky, I'd take any of them. But my preference would be Ping, Callaway, Titleist and the Sun
Such a nice idea to give items to your fans
Mizuno bag for sure!! But also love that Ping bag!
the ping bag has the rain cover hidden behind the back pad
my favorite is either the Callaway or the Titleist. Something about a basic black bag just appeals to me.
Can you do something on the 80-120 yd knock down shot? Low and high.
All look great... I'm actually in the market for a new bag... So this vid was helpful. I'm thinking the Titleist Bag!
Thanks for the review I'm looking for carry bag right now
Great review congrats they only thing with ping ok no rain cover but is only one who has sistem that when you lift it up the legs always are stick into the bag quickly. Nice video
I’ll take any! Took 5 stokes off (so far) my game since watching your video starting last season. Keep them coming.
Surprised none of those bags had individual full length club dividers. I liked the Ping one best.
I like the Callaway and titleist bags the most
I like the look of the Mizuno but I prefer the Callaway! I like plain!
I love the classic Callaway
I like the looks of the Mizuno and the Titleist
That mizuno bag is pretty slick
