I don't know why this gets such negative reviews. It is lightweight and holds clubs the same as the L8. This bag has enough room to carry anything you need. Not as nice as the Hoofer but is cheaper and is much lighter. It is a good bag. Similar Products Used: hoofer, L8 |

Purchased, tried and returned this bag. It is too small for a full set of clubs. If you caryy more than 11 clubs cross this one off your list. As with all Ping products quality was adequate, but it is really just a Sunday bag. No dividers at all. Similar Products Used: Ping L8, SunMountain Ascent, Maxfli carry bag |

Purchased it as a single strap bag and found it a little "top heavy" even after adjusting it many times. I later added the second strap and what a difference it made. The bag now feels even lighter and after some adjustment, balances beautifully. The legs are sturdy and take a round to get used to. Pocket space is fair for a bag this light with 2 sweater sized pockets on the sides and a ball pocket large enough to hold 4 or 5 sleeves (if you need that many!). The only real drawback is the fact that this bag will only hold up to approx 11 or 12 clubs comfortably. As with other Ping carrybag offerings, there are no club dividers and therefore the more clubs you carry, the harder it is to insert and remove clubs. My old bag was a Ping L8 so this didn't bother me. The bag is well made but it's too bad Ping doesn't include a rain hood especially when you pay the big bucks for this bag. I looked at the Izzo Delight and Nike bags with the removable pockets but I hated the straps on them. This is a very good bag and should be considered if you are interested in something lightweight.
