5footslider107 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 About four months ago I was looking at buying a new bag but I really wasn't that serious about buying a new one. I went to my local Golf Mart Superstore in South San Francisco, CA (sorry for the little plug, I used to work there and still think they're great). Anyway, I was talking to the bag/shoe specialist there who immediately recommended the Ping Hoofer bag. Like I said, I wasn't sold on even buying a new bag at that point and hesitated. I waited about three months when I finally said enough is enough and went in for the bag. Once I gamed the bag, I don't know why I ever waited so long! Bag preference is like putter preference but I really found I liked this one. It has ample pockets and I like how they put pockets in easy to reach places while you're carrying it. Too often in my old bags I would have to get into some crazy yoga pose just to get to my phone or water bottle. There are multiple, very easily reachable pockets that I can get to at any point. The one con is the difficulty I've had getting my clubs out of my bag without at least one other club coming with it. I use mid-size and they are a little tacky which is probably the biggest problem. I am planning on going back to standard grips with much less tackiness (is that even a word) which should alleviate the issue. In speaking with other people who own the same bag, they rave about it as well and definitely wouldn't go back to their old bag. If you're in the market, take a good look at the Ping Hoofer. I dropped a picture of my bag below! THEZIPR23, PMookie, Blueberry_Squishie and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had a hoofer (not same one) since 1997 and this is the only issue I have ever had with one. It is strange as I have had other bags in same class that don't do this however the benefits the hoofer out weigh this small problem significantly. 5footslider107 1 Quote Stealth 2+ 9 (Diamana PD 60 S 45") Stealth 2+ 15 (Diamana PD 70 S 43") G425 19 (Raijin 2.0 85x) G425 22 (Raijin 2.0 85x) ZX7 5-9 (KBS C Taper S) Vokey SM9 45 10 F (KBS 610) Vokey SM9 49 08 F (KBS 610) Vokey SM9 55 08 M (KBS 610) Vokey SM9 59 04 T (KBS 610) Spider GT Splitback 34" ProV1 #23 Twitter @THEZIPR23 "One thing Golf has taught me, is that my muscles have no memory."

Kmorin Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I bought a Hoofer about a year ago and really enjoy it. I walk 9 holes on Sundays with my father and brother and I don’t remember ever being uncomfortable. It has plenty of pockets so the utility is great. Plus it looks great. 5footslider107 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueberry_Squishie Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Has anyone seen the Hoofer 14 in the flesh? Does the 14 model have full length club dividers that would solve that issue?

Yes, I would rather deal with this than many of the structural issues in other bags! THEZIPR23 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve developed the habit of pulling the club with bag vertical and then lowering into stand position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wowski_golf Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I have that issue with all the ping bags I have owned. but the ease of carry out weighs having that lone issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
