ABOUT THIS VIDEO
The Vessel Player III has undoubtedly been my favorite golf bag for my needs over the last couple of years. Which is why I was SO excited about the release of the Vessel Player IV.
I'll get right to it, this is an awesome golf bag. But there's one wrench thrown into the mix, which is why I probably buy something else.
In this Vessel Player IV golf bag review I cover all of the pros, cons, and features of the bag. I compare it to the outgoing Vessel Player III and also compare it to the brand new Vessel Player IV Pro to help you decide which one to buy.

Incredibly high quality video, surprised you don't have more subscribers. Exact the info I was looking for.
Love your reviews…I use a ClicGear 3.5 95% of the time so I ordered the new Lux XV 2.0…can’t wait!
Just got the sunday bag in DXR. Absolutely love it. I play 8 clubs in the bag so the Sunday is perfect traveling, walking and riding.
I havent seen one of their Sunday bags, but everyone I've heard from loves them. Same goes for DXR models.
Great review and comparison to help me make my decision. I just bought the limited edition Player 4 using your link and Vessel’s 20% discount Black Friday code.
FYI, Vessel has 20% off sales on Black Friday. Only time to buy a Vessel bag.
When’s Black Friday?
Love the in depth review dude.
Really appreciate it!
Good video. Great golf bag. Love the style and utility.
Agreed!
Excellent review, Sean!
absolutely love your reviews ! is it possible to do a long term review? am looking to purchase one myself bit i am afraid of the pvc leather flaking over time. thanks once again !
Reviews are excellent
I’m looking to purchase one the white one looks extremely good. Can you give advice on the longevity of maintaining it and keeping it looking good?
What do you think about the player 4 pro compared to the Titleist links legend?
Do you feel the same way about the vessel Sunday for full round use?
I don't find them to be heavy at all. I'm 6'4 250 so maybe that helps. They could make the straps a lil longer. I may get the pro now though. I have the player iv.
Also which do you think would have more water resistance
With that being said, it’s by far the best bag on the market.
I was in the market for a Player IV and after watching this I went with the Player III.
Any thoughts on ghost good bags?
First I'd like to say great vid. Funny thing as I was watching I was looking for answers in my head then boom you covered. Great Vid. Where's the link to purchase so you get paid?
Would love to see a review on the Ghost bag thats a similar quality and price point
I agree I’m contemplating getting a 14 way when they are in stock again.
I bought player 4. New cooler pocket itself worth buying over player 3 to me.
Would love to see a Player 4 pro DXR full review.
Would love to see one on the vessel Sunday
Love your hat👌
Vessel should have just released the 4-Pro!
I have the P3, and the microfiber slots and sleeves pluck my Arccos sensors off my clubs occasionally, and fight to give them back. I’d appreciate the less ‘sticky’ materials there. FWIW
Ah good to know! I currently have the Arccos grips on, but hadnt noticed that issue when I had the sensors on previously. Will keep it in mind, and update the written review accordingly.
@@breakingeighty I also have a PIII, and my clubs get stuck every round. Maybe it has to do with the stickier grips I use, usually Iomic or Star, but at least 2-3 times a round, I have trouble getting clubs out, and getting them back in. Absolutely love the bag, though. 14 way, btw. I think most people that have sticking issues are using the 14 way.
My friend has the player 4 pro legends edition. Great bag, but last week, his clubs got stuck in and took a lot of effort to get his irons out. All I could do was laugh alittle, with a sarcastic "nice bag". That being said my next bag will definatly be a vessel, probably a cart bag.
Does this do well in a cart?
I have the Vessel Lux XV Cart bag and I love it. I use a push cart 40+ rounds a year and even though it's a couple pounds heavier than my previous bag, the extra features and upgraded materials make it worth it.
Love to hear it! I haven't used any of their cart bags, but am not surprised at all. Continue to be impressed by everything I see from them.
Just received mine today.I'ts a beautiful looking bag and well made but if you carry this for more than nine holes, it's too heavy. Bag is 1 inch too short. If you have any clubs over standard length, look elsewhere. Old school rain cover takes up too much room in the large pocket.
Would you say this bag its good for hot weather place?
I mean, I think it'd be fine for a hot weather place, but it's probably not the absolute best choice. Part of the reason I like it is because the synthetic leather is more water resistant than a regular canvas bag. But it'll be heavier, and likely a bit hotter in real hot weather. If you want a Vessel bag and are in hot conditions, I'd go for the DXR version of this bag.
Which finish would you go for pleather or dxr for mix of buggy and kart use, I'll be going with the pro 6 way just can't decide on the finish
I’d personally probably go with the leather, but both are great!
@@LocationRebel which do you think is more water resistant
@@davidbrady1551 The synthetic leather for sure
@LocationRebel last question which looks more premium as this is approx €500 here in Ireland 🇮🇪
Thanks in advance for your input
@@davidbrady1551 Both definitely look premium, so it depends a little bit on personal preference.The diamond stitch pattern on the DXR looks really nice, and I like the pop of color on the red carbon fiber stands. But once again, I'd prob give edge to the leather personally. I think especially with the Pro, the pebbled texture looks nice, and I've always liked the grey colorway. Some of the brighter colored or more branded options i don't like, but if you're comparing a neutral iv pro to the black DXR, I'd go leather.
Do you like the 14-way or 6-way top better? I think you’re saying the 6-way is now larger so clubs don’t get stuck. Have you tried the 14-way?
I personally prefer the 6 way. It is larger on the Pro models compared to the regular Player IV. I'm personally just not organized enough to always put the clubs back in their proper spot in the 14 way. IT also adds a little bit of weight to an already heavy-ish bag. But it really comes down to personal preference on this.
Would you save the money and just buy the 3 or is it worth going to the 4?
Can you really use the player 4 pro on a trolley? Do the legs have a strap to lock them in
@mike, I have the player 2 & 3 bags, and I use both on a cart all the time. the Player 2 has a vlcro strap to keep the legs in place, and the Player 3 has an elsticated strap to hold the straps in place. I am assuming the Player 4 has similar
I’m looking to get one, do you know if it fits on the BagBoy Quad push cart? I have noticed titleist doesn’t fit.
The player 3 fits very well on the Bag Boy Quad XL, can't speak to the player 4!
@mpud1335, I can confirm the player 3 sits on perfectly as someone has already said. would assume the player 4 would be okay also.
I’ve always thought these more classic looking bags were too heavy. With larger grips and irons they get quite heavy if you’re actually walking a lot.
Love how they call it player 3 and 4...just like Titleist!
If I’m remembering correctly Titleist calls numbers their bag based on club dividers. Vessel numbers their based based on the generation. Similar but still massively different naming structure.
I have the same Vessel 3 bag. My microfiber all faded and discolored and I take very good care of it. Perhaps that's why they changed the material???
Oh interesting. I played over 100 rounds with the III and didnt have any of that - mine has held up really well. They included it on on the Player IV Pro, so I think that was the main reason - so that they'd be able to sell another higher priced model.
@@breakingeighty - Yea I dunno. I can email you a picture if your curious. It's really noticeable on the back pad and the straps...not so much on the dividers.
I have a player 3 14 divider and my clubs do stick love the bag but wish I got the 6 way
Do you have standard grip sizes on your clubs?
@@luisgarcia3259 yes standard tour velvets with Arrcos sensors screwed in
I have a 6-way Player II and my clubs still stick. Not a huge issue for me, but idk if the issue is truly avoidable. I've had 14-way bags before and similar problem. I ordered a player IV pro in a 14-way and am looking forward to the new bottom to see if that helps mitigate the problem at all. I play standard grips with Arccos sensors.
I’ve got the 6 and don’t like it. Just ordered a 14.
@johnmccreary1554 why don't you like it, I can't decide between the 6 and 14. Will deffo be the pro for the extra storage tho...
Nice bags but why so blazei on colors???
I’ve got a used players 3 on the way. Hope it works out; even used it was pretty expensive.
Which one does Tiger Woods use?
I want to look the bag. I don't want to look your face.😂
Man I know...it's a rough face to look at. Sorry I subjected you to that!
Had the player 3 for the last year. It is really heavy, and their zippers are so so. The large zipper separates from time to time and one of the zippers where I put my balls broke as well. The vessel logo on the straps also broke off. Not impressed.
Ah bummed to hear that! I've had a great experience with my Player 3 - aside form the fact it definitely is a heavy bag.
@@breakingeighty yeah not saying I won’t buy it again but was expecting more.
For people wanting the 14 way divider, I’d steer away to be honest. 6 way is more than enough. The 14 divider wastes so much empty space. Get the 6 and thank me later. I have the player 3 from gfore and the player 4. Love the cooler pocket for cold drinks on the 4 and the extra pockets. Is it worth the upgrade? Not really. Hate the new marketing team trying to separate the player with the player 4 pro now. So cheesy
Yeah I've heard from a few people who don't love the 14 way. I've personally always gone 6 and have loved it, but haven't been hands on with a 14 so cant comment from experience.
I had the six and didn’t like it. Bought the 14 and love it.
Thanking you now.
@@oaklandtobangkok haha aweomse! Hope you enjoy!
No way this dude is loading a Stix set into a Vessel
I'm not sold on the fake leather material used, reminds me of 'pleather'. I would be most concerned with puncture and general wearing of the materials and I seem to recall users mentioning that these bags will show signs of distress when used with carts.
Mine is pretty well travelled and still looks great. It’s tougher than you’d expect. Think white soles on Allbirds and you’re in the area code. Durability of appearance is absolutely not a reason to pass. PS, it’s white with orange trim.
way to expensive, honestyl 150$ bag wor just as good ,use the money for a lesson ... no way a bag should cost that much
You will spend 150 every couple years unless you like looking ratty and don't care. By the time you keep replacing the cheaper bag your in the same space price wise
They are all sold out right now 😢
Why do expensive courses still sell those ugly hats?
Just swap the straps…
Way to much screen time looking at your face, instead of the actual golf bag you are reviewing, not a fan.
it’s just a video of your face. Try talking over yourself showing more of the actual bag.
