Just replaced my old copper colored Hoofer2 with the new 2018 Hoofer 5-way. Its a fantastic bag so far! The way its constructed and the high quality of materials makes me believe that I won't have to replace my bag for another 15 years!

I'm liking the Hoofer 14. I think it would sit in a riding cart better than my current bag.

If the Hoofer is to walking/carry bags what the Pioneer is to cart bags, I would guess that it's a pretty good bag.

Everybody praises the C130, but I think that the Pioneer is even better.

 

The hoofer is certainly popular.

I think that it's to stand bags what the Jones is to no-stand carry bags. Sort of the classic.

 

The only thing about the five-way that would give me concern is leaving a club behind.

 

With individual slots, you see that a club is missing right away.

Yeah I like the 20+ year old one I found at Goodwill a couple of months ago. But I do not like the fact that most bag drop attendants do not know how to properly put a bag on a cart without putting the death grip on it. After 2 different incidents involving 2 different courses last weekend ( one being my home course) with bag drop guys squeezing the hoofer to death I said screw em I switched my stuff over to one of my Titleist Mini Staff bags. The Hoofer will be used for range sessions with experimental stuff. Yeah when they squeeze it to death it distorts and makes it difficult to get clubs in and out the rest of the day even after loosening it up. Half of these idiots working at the courses here would have lasted about 10 minutes if that working for my old man.
