@Jnoble89, @Tom the Golf Nut, I would welcome a doctor's note right now. Also, don't forget @chisag played one on tv. Sam, I think since you live so close to them, they might want you to stop by and pick your stuff up. They could be looking for a spokesman and we all know you're qualified.

At least I get off in about thirty minutes. I'm surprised my wife hasn't sent me more photos of the box just to torture me. She's a sweetheart, but she's also evil like that.

 

 

Then you will get two doctors notes. Yours to get out of work and one for the Mrs. for therapy. It's called "cruelty to golfers counselling". It comes with a mandatory 4 hour session once a week for five weeks. That should give you enough time to play golf!

... I am not a doctor but I have played one on TV. Multiple times so I would be happy to provide a note complete with medical jargon from my script. 

Hold on, how did I not know this?!?! That's awesome!!!

Ok, now I'm creeping online and you were in the Dark Knight?! My favorite Batman movie of all time?!?!

[edingc]

Love that stuff is starting to come in. Still rock my Cobra x Vessel bag from #CC4 out to the range.

Can't wait for this to officially kick off!

@sirchunksalot, I've been waiting impatiently for you to bless us with some gratuitous photos of that bag! 

[sirchunksalot]

My stand bag arrived today and I thought I would give you all my first impressions. 

This bag is nice! I had a hard time deciding on the color I wanted to go work and I'm glad I went with the Quiet Shade/Navy Blazer. I have two predominantly black bags and one which is now a faded camo and red. I had to take a poll and between my wife and some of the guys I work with, this came out on top. Plus, it was in my top two choices to game during this challenge.

This is my first stand bag, I wanted to get away from a cart bag mainly for the ease of setting it up when going to the range. There are some days the wind is howling and standing a cart bag up has lead to it blowing over. 

I just finished changing it over and it seems to have plenty of storage for all my necessities. The cooler pocket is the most impressive compartment, it's huge!

The 5 way divider is a new thing for me and I can see having to experiment with it a bit to get it perfect, but I'll eventually figure it out. I love the fact that the dividers run the full length of the bag to help reduce snagging. 

Thank you again MGS and Cobra Golf for this opportunity!

P.S. Can you guys tell my wife likes to garden?

Ask and you shall receive!

I'll be posting up the unboxing to my testing page later. I've got to upload it to YouTube.

Love the color! I got the red, white, and blue version (why not?) and it’s set to arrive tomorrow!

Love the navy! Definitely the bag I had decided to get if chosen, it's my favorite color.

I can't wait to see how good they one looks! That was my second choice and I think your clubs will pop in it.

Absolutely LOVE the color selection, Jason! The gray and navy look so good together and the white compliments both so well. Isn't it crazy how big the cooler pocket is?! I couldn't believe it!

[tdroma98]

Like the MYGOLFSPY Driver Headcover @sirchunksalot!! 

Nice bag too !

I know, right? My other bags lack in space to put drinks and ice packets and I don't see it as being a problem with this one.

Btw, I meant to tell you that you did a great job on the unboxing video and I love the color you picked out. I was looking through the excel sheet and seeing what you went with almost changed my decision.

Thank you @tdroma98! I saw that cover on the main site and just had to have it. I've got to give it to the guys at HQ, they put out a quality product.

I've added my unboxing to the my introductory thread over on page 12. Every time I listen to my voice, I realize I have a voice that's made for typing and not speaking.

Thank you, I’m glad you liked it! I’ve never recorded myself so I felt so funny haha and I had to talk quietly as the kids were in bed and I didn’t want to wake them

The other color I was looking at was the color you picked out but in the cart bag. Really all the colorways are so sharp. You can’t go wrong

That was a good unboxing video @sirchunksalot. I see what you mean about voice for typing ! Just kidding! Great job with the video! 

[Tom the Golf Nut]

My unboxing video is up and on page 11 following my introduction.

That was epic! I nearly died laughing, I don't know if that can be beat as an unboxing video. 

Edit: I forgot to mention that's a good looking bag.

Just in case you didn’t think I was waiting in anticipation.

Haven’t seen that movie in a while. I had to watch the clip.

Okay, now that we have the toy chest. When are we going to get the toys to put in it?

It's gotta be the Cobra box prank, Cobra saw it and thought you had yours already haha.

Your surprise is that you are getting your clubs first. WE have been teased. False weights on our packages. How can a 4 pound bag weigh 10 pounds on a shipping list. How come my Fed Ex guy asked me if there was anything even in the box?

I believe the patient man won this round.

... Yea, I thought the Golf Gods may have seen the prank and said "OK Smart Azz not only will you never get a hole in one, you can wait a little longer than the others for your stuff to arrive. Check your tracking and you'll see a stop in Newark NJ when Phoenix is right next to CA. Actors ... sigh."

Thinking back on it, why didn't you wear the leather vest? 

I made my wife watch the clip and she thought you won the unboxing. Of course with all the extra time @chisag has to prepare his, there's no telling what kind of production he'll come up with. Might find out in a couple of weeks when it arrives.

Hey man, love that you detailed your experience for us. You could've easily sugar coated it but in truth a full bag fitting can be overwhelming, especially if it's your first time and you've got to fit it in a certain window. I bet if you don't wait too long to call Jeremy back he may remember the details you didn't have written down.

As for wedge shafts, a lot of fitters will tell you to get something similar in weight to your iron shafts to keep things consistent. You wouldn't want heavy iron shafts and light wedge shafts in my experience.

I used Golftec for my fitting and my coach tracked all the details!  I didnt realize how lucky I was for that as it was my first fitting.

Sam,

Fed EX just showed up again and they sent me your golf bag by mistake. I took a photo so you could post it in your box opening. I'll send it to you right away.

[JerryB]

Finally had the chance to watch the first videos; great job guys!  I'll be honest, taking an unboxing video of the bag never crossed my mind.  I mean, it's just a bag, right?  Who cares?  I can see now it's a missed opportunity. 

Also, I'm just not very eloquent in person, I always feel like James Hetfield in the old Napster Bad video.
