MDGolfHacker 7,786 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Looks like Callaway is expanding their reach into soft good and has purchased Ogio for 75.5 Million..

GolfSpy Barbajo 9,576 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 It was the "in-cash" part that got me. Nice to have that kind of spare change rolling around. Have always like Cally's bags - not so much the Ogio's. Wasn't overly impressed with the quality/longevity, but it did look bitchin'. 1 Quote What's in the bag: Driver: TSi3 FW Wood: PXG Gen4 2-wood Hybrids: PXG Gen4 18-degree Utility Irons: Staff Model Utilities 18, 21, 24* Irons:; PXG 0211; Pro Combo; FTX Combo;'99 Apex Plus; '99 Apex blades; 2010 VIP irons; VIP 1025 V-Foil MB/CB; Wedges: RTZ ZipCore: Riviera 52-56-60 Putter: Newport Special Select; Willamette, BB8; Buckingham; MATI Monto Ball: Tour B X; Z-STAR XV; Triad Stat Tracker/GPS Watch: Follow @golfspybarbajo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cksurfdude 10,492 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Somewhat related, bought some Callaway stock a few years ago after I'd read they were a big investor in Top Golf. Not sure if they still have that stake, but it does look like Top Golf is successful! 1 Quote WITB of an "aspiring" play-ah ... ..Callaway Big Bertha B21 driver (Recoil ES 450/F3) ..Callaway Bertha Mini 1.5 (UST ProForce V2-HL 5/F3) ..Callaway Epic Max 5W (PX Cypher 50/5.0) ..Callaway Big Bertha 4H and 5H (both Recoil ZT9/F3) ..PXG 0211 6i-GW (Mitsubishi MMT 60/A) ..Cleveland CBX2 54 and CBX 60 (Rotex graphite) ..EvnRoll ER5 or MLA XDream (Edel EAS 4.0 on the bench) ..all in a Datrek bag on an MGI Zip Navigator electric cart.

BigtazzGolf 1,901 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 The ogio golf bags don't compare to the cally bags imo. But everything else that ogio makes is top notch. Love my travel golf bag and backpack. Will ogio continue under its own name or convert it all to Callaway?

Love my travel golf bag and backpack. Will ogio continue under its own name or convert it all to Callaway? Tazz Ogio is in an few other sports so my guess they will continue with the name as they already have brand recognition. My first golf bag was an ogio exo. Loved the bag and lasted about 11 years. Only got rid of it because the legs finally gave out and the bag torqued causing it to fall over. I did have a pocket rip after about 7 years but it wasn't a deal breaker. Replaced it with a sun mountain for 5. MDGolfHacker 1 Quote What's In This Lefty's Bag?

Jonnythec 199 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I have a Ogio monster travel bag. They are one of the best soft travel bags out there. Sent from my iPhone while sitting at the 19th hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldfashionedcowboy 2 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I've used Ogio bags for years. Especially the Grom. The zipperless ball pocket, ball silo, woode club management is all top notch. But when switched to walking the majority of my rounds I bought a Cally Hyperlite 3.5 and what a difference. In my opinion, Ogio doesn't have a comparable walking bag in their line up. If you always ride, then they might be for you. You and me and the devil makes three...

ole gray 17,656 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I currently have an Ogio bag and it's serving me well. It would be nice if it had a tad more storage room however I'm happy with it.

Kenny B 32,548 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 My wife bought an Ogio cart bag several years ago and it lasted maybe a year and a half. Rain cover ripped, pocket zippers didn't work, holes started appearing. When I bought her the Sun Mountain MicroCart, I also bought the SM Sync bag. There is no comparison. That bag will last many years! Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Hog 329 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I've never owned an Ogio bag before but they look nice and good quality from what I've seen in the shops. I think it's a good move by Callaway. Bring in some knowledge on that segment into the organization and hopefully make their soft goods side more competitive.

808nation 1,788 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I had Ogio Grom carry bag for couple of years and served me well. I now use a Ogio Chamber bag to keep club at bay when I ride or walk with a push cart, it is on the heavier side but since I'm not carrying it, it's okay. Can't wait to see what type of bag Callaway-Ogio bags will like.

Jmikecpa 13,444 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Makes sense. Callaway has been using Ogio technology for a few years now. The Callaway bag my wife bought me last year had the Ogio divider system.
