DG Lite II Cart Bag and Dynamic Brands Review


golfish!

Recommended Posts

This is a combined review of an old Datrek DG Lite II and the Dynamic Brands company customer service. Like most, I would not take time out of my day to write a review unless it was really poor. I think that is just human nature that we expect good things and it is not something special when we get it. When we get poor quality and customer service we take time out of our day to trash talk the company and the product because we want them to feel the pain we feel! However, in this case I really wanted to recognize Dynamic Brands for their excellent customer service. I bought a Datrek DG Lite II about 2 years ago. It is a great lightweight bag and i bought it because i was travelling almost weekly for work and i wanted to get some rounds in during my travels. I wrote about a few of those on the road courses in a separate post in course reviews! Anyway, the bag itself is truly lightweight, which allows me to stuff some of my other clothes and essentials in my travel case with my clubs as extra cushioning. There are plenty of pockets for large and small items and it even has a cooler pocket which is able to fit a few bottles of water and some ice. The dividers work well and it has a large putter well in the front so the bag had everything i was looking for my travels. I noticed early on that the clubs would come out of the bag with some thread wrapped around the grips. I figured this was just extra thread from manufacturing and that it would eventually stop. Well, 2 years later it never stopped and now one of the dividers actually ripped out of the bottom of the bag and is hanging loose like a tongue! I reached out to Dynamic Brands and explained the situation and they said i should still submit details for warranty anyway and they will review. I submitted the information yesterday and today got a reply stating that my claim has been approved and that they will be shipping out a brand new bag! Wow that is customer service on another level and they have definitely earned a customer for life. There is an official forum review for bagboy cooler bags so if you are in the market for a new bag i would read up on those reviews and seriously consider getting one if it fits your budget and needs especially since you can rest assured the company has excellent customer service.

I have a Datrek Hybrid Lite bag I'm really happy with - especially with the "TopLok" which integrates with the top bracket on my Bag Boy push cart (so you don't need the top strap at all .. bag is snug and secure).

Thank you all for sharing!  Dynamic Brands is committed to providing outstanding customer service throughout all of our brands and we are happy to hear of your satisfaction.  If there is anything else we can do, please don't hesitate to let us know. 

Glad to hear the positive Top-Lok comment as well.  For those not familiar with it, it's an innovative bag to cart attachment system designed to securely lock a Bag Boy or Datrek golf bag onto a Bag Boy push cart, eliminating the need for cart straps.  More details here: https://top-lok.com/collections/top-lok

The toplock system works well even for my sun mountain cart which has "teeth" that hold the top lock system. Probably doesnt work as well as the bag boy system but when i need a new push cart i know which brand i am buying! Attached are some pictures of the new bag. Looks like there were some design changes, such as a larger D ring for clipping stuff to the bag with a smaller velcro patch for gloves. Also after my first round on the course this week, I definitely do not see any threads pulling up with the clubs so there might have also been some internal improvements to construction to prevent the divider stitching from coming out. Will update as i play more rounds.20200519_124328.thumb.jpg.f8cacfecc9dbf52b7a075574cddfbc5b.jpg20200519_124332.thumb.jpg.e619c207940c9334a6409caa9ffd9169.jpg
