HardcoreLooper Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 It's taken a while, but the prototype of the sunday bag my mom has been working on is done and ready for use. Mom has actually been done with her part for a while, but I needed to add a strap to create a divider - more to give the bag better balance than anything. So riveting in that one piece was my contribution. The main fabric is a really cool brushed nylon that feels like canvas but has a rubber backing. The trim is PU leather, and I'm interested to see how it holds up. I won't be walking any of the resort courses I'm playing this week (long trips from green to tee), but I can't wait to throw half the Hogans in there and go for a walk. This one is the first - we'll see what the next one brings.

HardcoreLooper Posted April 19, 2021 Author Share Posted April 19, 2021 (edited) First round with the bag today. Pros: It's insanely light The webbing strap with shoulder pad is super comfortable to carry It's insanely light Cons: The rubber-backed nylon does not have enough body to stand at all - it needs a stay The toggle-button looks so good as a pocket closure, but it doesn't keep balls from spilling out It needs a water bottle pocket It needs a rangefinder pocket The PU leather trim around the top has no body; the bag is nearly two-dimensional when you carry it Even though there's more cons than pros in number, it's a great start and I really enjoyed playing with it. I haven't carried 18 holes in about 15 years. And there really is something to playing with a half set. I can't wait to take it back out. Edited April 19, 2021 by HardcoreLooper It's not too heavy. I don't know why I wrote that. cnosil, downlowkey and WaffleHouseTour 3 Quote What's in the bag: Driver - F8 - Aldila NV Blue 60 ( S ) 3 Wood (13.5*) - 980F 4 Wood (18*) - F8 - Aldila NV Blue 60 ( S ) 3 Hybrid (19*) - RBZ 4i - PW - D7 Forged - Recoil 760 ( S ) 52* - CBX 58* - CBX Full Face 2 Putter - Craz-e Bag - 2.5 (Blue) Ball - AVX Instagram - @hardcorelooper Twitter - @meovino Facebook - mike.eovino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaffleHouseTour Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Very cool. “Prototype” implies there is more to come....? Last spring my daughter and I made a bag (chronicled here somewhere). I found the biggest challenge was finding a good balance point for the strap to carry, some kind of divider, and we made the main pocket an interior one and it should have been exterior. Needs a firmer base. But it is a one of a kind and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Gets lots of looks wherever I go. I get the “two dimensional” comment. Same challenge. Those brown leather pockets look cool. Looks inspired by a Seamus fescue project bag. Can’t wait to see what’s next.
