Ping Craz E Lite bags - Are they durable?

[ACA_619]

So i've come to the conclusion that i'm tired of bag swapping every year and looking to switch from my current brand of bags to Ping. I'm loving the bright colors of the craz e lite bags but the material has me questioning the durable of the material to last 2-3 years. Has anyone bought and stayed with this model? Looking for the good or the bad experiences with it.

Interested in this topic as well. I read about issues with the 2020 version that Ping has supposedly fixed but would love to hear some first hand reports.

I found the bag fabric durable for my half set. And, with the solid bottom, it rode well on a Clic-Gear 3.5 (Don't judge me, arthritic knees). The woven fabric grab strap at the bottom of the bag frayed and came apart. I trimmed it carefully at the stitching and used the sturdy bottom of the bag for loading/carrying until Ping replaced with a Hoofer-Lite. Love that company!

I had one of the 2020 versions.  Shoulder strap system lasted ~10 rounds of walking/carrying and the strap stitching started to separate.  It was sent back through my club, and about 3 weeks later I was told to stop in and pick a new bag (and that my model was being recalled so-to-speak).  The only problem I had was with the straps - no early tears or separations with the bag and interior.  Too bad - bag was very light, well balanced, sufficient and thoughtful storage, and fit a full set without having to stuff clubs in.  I've seen the "new" version and the strap design is definitely different - visually appears more heavy-duty.  Looked good.  However, I switched to a Titleist Players 4 Carbon ... which will probably be around for a few years.

Zero issues.  I don't carry a ton of stuff when I play so this bag fit the bill.
