Pictures and bag choice by tester arodrig29 are simply amazing.

Congrats to all the testers, it looks to be a fantastic group where all involved have extremely good taste to go with nicely varied perspectives and writing styles.

This bag is immediately on the want list before the testing is even completed. Well done gents, looking forward to the reviews.

 

Cheers.

Nope,  it was the bag.   Towel and cart strap are scheduled to be delivered next Wednesday.     

The bag has gone through its initial photo shoot and I am writing the initial impressions.   Should be posted early evening;  heading out to dinner with friends shortly.

Any way you could show a picture of what you printed?  I'd certainly be interested.

"Unboxing" and Initial impressions posted.   Didn't do the typical unboxing or photos of the  bag;  I tried to make it a little different and went down an assessment of details about the bag and comparison against the website feature list.  I did this because it is the type of thing I would do if I was standing in a store trying to evaluate if I was going to buy a bag.

Nice intro and unboxing @cnosil…it is an awesome looking bag!

Where does the rain hood store?  On my Hoofer, it is used as extra padding when carrying.

 My Callaway bag has a pocket behind the side padding that rests on your back when carrying and like you said can become extra padding.  The Ghost bag doesn't have a pocket like that and it came in one of the side pockets.   May not be a problem for me since I keep the rain hood on all the time and close it up when I am transporting the bag.   My only concern is that since it is thicker it may not fold down as easily when I put it on the pull or driving cart.

Great unboxing post. Eagerly awaiting your thoughts on storage with everything you listed. On a side note, was the pen that came with the bag in good condition? Mine was dried out and never worked. Not much of a big deal, just curious.

Great unboxing post. I love the look of the Oreo!

For the testers would it be possible to see some pics of the rainhood attached so we can see how it fits with the aesthetics of the bag

Mine works fine.

Hope these help; cant get outside today since it is raining.   Left is with the rain hood zipped and right is how I will most likely leverage the rain hood.   I typically have the rain hood on the clubs all the time and just fold it down when I get to the course.    I think it goes well and looks nice with the Oreo colorway.

@cnosil Chris, great "unboxing" post and really like how you planned the comparisons to what they advertise or mention as features.

Myself, I will be interested in any comments you can make as far as the white color holding up, or being easily cleaned after using the bag.

I ordered the black Katana just because I knew that although it may get hot in the summer, it should not show any stains after cleaning.

Thanks.   The white and how easily cleaned as well as how well it holds its color will definitely be a focus as this review goes along and into the future.   Would be a nice touch if they had some cleaning recommendations in the bag or website.  I have seen some recommendations to just use dish soap if you need to clean but I think in most cases just wiping it down should be okay.

I've been looking at the bag a bit more today and wanted to post a couple of more observations.

1.  Obviously golf bags can get a little heavy when fully loaded.   On the bottom of the bag/under the bag pouch is a small handle that can be used in conjunction with the top handles to lift the bag into your vehicle.   

2.  I looked at the valuable and side pocket zippers a little closer and they are obviously waterproof and the metal portion of the zipper tucks under into a pouch to ensure water stays out.  

[Northern Monkey]

@cnosil Thanks for the rain hood update. It does go well with the Oreo colour and I like that it folds right down. Interested to hear about how easy it is to clean so I can keep mine nice and new looking when it arrives. 
Loving the Oreo colour the more I see it and glad that’s what I went for. Just wish it would bloody get here

Definitely looks like a lot of attention to detail with the bag.

The rain cover does not take anything away from the bag, still sharp looking even with the cover.

I’ve had my Oreo bag for WEEKS now and did not know there was Ghost branding on the bottom lol. Love it! Also one thing I really like is the rubberized texture on the bottom of the bag base. Gives a little extra “grab” to the bag holder on our cart which is not your normal setup since we have a 4 seater.

That is because you aren't an official MGS tester of the bag.....our job is to look at and report on all the details!

Fair assessment! Lol!

Great job on the first impressions too, Chris. Love the approach you took to it!

Congrats Testers!  These look like great bags and looking forward to hear your feedback.  They seem very similar to Vessel so will be interested to see if anyone has gamed one of those to compare with these.

I can say I have never gamed any other bag of this quality, but have seen others play Vessel and some higher end bags. I will see if i can get a round or two with someone who does have one to see if we can compare.

As requested…make the bag better looking in my opinion.

Definitely very similar.   I was at MGS HQ today and Connor uses a Vessel bag so I took an opportunity to check it out.   There are subtle differences in the leg mechanics and some finish details.   the storage of the Vessel seems to be a little less even with the larger side pocket though I am not sure which Vessel model he has.   I'll try to remember to ask him tomorrow.   

[Samuel09152]

Thought I would do something kinda corny and cheesy but incoropate some of the Ghost Bag "Top Gun" Themed Stuff. Hope you enjoy and possibly get a good laugh out of this! Operation Bag Take over is green!

Here are some photos I took, with all clubs in the bag as well. The bigger head cover, did give me a little challenge, but it was all just about where the headcover is pointed.

Looks like your rain hood is the same material as your bag has a lining similar to what is inside the ball pocket?    Mine has no lining and is a thick I'll say cloth material.

I would say the over all materials used are the same, however the ball pocket almost seems thicker, if that makes sense. It is the synthetic leather though, with the ball pocket lining. This is an interesting to me.  @arodrig29, I saw your picture which looked liked mine from the outside but does yours have the Ghost lining and is it the synthetic leather or a cloth material?

I was just talking about the lining; not the entire ball pocket, with the "ghost" lettering.    Started taking a closer look and it also seems that the padded area above the side pockets is different.  Yours is the same material as the bag and mine is a cloth material.   

 

@GolfSpy_KFT and @Preeway,  you both have the Ghost Oreo bags;  what material is the rain hood (does it match the bag or is it a heavy cloth) and what is the material above the side pockets (again match bag or cloth) ?
