    Like Bushy said... just because I can.

    I gave my last one to my Dad as his previous bag looked like something a guy sleeping behind a dumpster would turn his nose up at.

    The latest model can be over $400, but I have no problem justifying the cost due to the build quality and the amount of golf I play. Living in FNQ I tend to play in wet weather a lot through the summer months, so the waterproofing means I don't have to worry about stuffing around with annoying, unwieldy rain-covers.

    If you look around they can be found at more reasonable prices (this is the exact bag I currently have, now last years model).

    There is only one thing I would change with my H2NO, and that is having clips to allow easy removal of the shoulder straps (I rarely carry these days).

    I just saw a few days ago that the new 2021 Titleist range has included a 14-way Stadry stand bag, the only real comparable option, but at $499 RRP the H2NO doesn't look so bad after all.

    $400 for a golf bag that will last 10+ years is basically renting it for $40 a year.
    Same for shoes?

    Looks like you've got a thousand rounds out of a pair of Ecco's.😉

    I found that one on House of Golf too, and was considering it, although it being red/black was a real turnoff.

    Ferrins put me on to a unused Titleist Premium Stand Bag for $200 on Gumtree: Titleist Premium Stand Bag | Titleist Golf Bags
    It was within easy driving distance from home, and I was heading out for a driving lesson for my son anyway, so I pulled the trigger and purchased it at that price. It is only 4 way, and may be a bit on the heavy side, since I carry all of the time, but I figure if I use it a few times and don't like it, I could sell it without much loss.

    Maybe not 1000, but pretty close.

    H2No bags are pretty good. But they sit horribly on most 3 wheel buggies.

    I went the bigmax aqua hybrid, and rate it highly. They leg mechanism is fully internal, so sits great on every buggy I have tried. On top of that the legs stop a few inches from the top so sits much better on buggies in that regard too.

    The 2018 Ping Hoofer bag sits sweet on an MGI where my Srixon does not.

    Insulation pipe wrapped around the buggy brackets is a gem for stand bags to sit nicely. $5 at bunnings.

    Agreed. I bought a 'bag cozy' for my Clicgear and it works well.

    Completely agree. recently moved from a Titliest 2020 14 way stand bag (a real disappointment and rather uncomfortable) to the Nike Hybrid 14way. Got to be one of the best bags around.
    Drummond Golf (well at least in Sydney) stocks these now with some exclusive deal and they do offer a decent discount when I bought a couple of weeks back. (RRP about $450).
    highly recommended.

    14 way are 100% sucksville.

    I miss my Ogio with the Woode system.

    My current Ping hoofer is pretty good.

    Honma bag gets thumbs up after the first day out. Easy to get clubs in and out. Pockets are large. Kept my 1.25 litre pepsi cool in its pocket.

    What do you do here MTB?
    i'm sick of moving my gear from Cart to Stand bag, so going to look for a new stand bag for fun. What do you do? Is this that soft black insulation foam air cond pipes have around them?

    Ok reading up this morning MGS loving the Hoofer and Hoofer lite.
    Taylormade Flextech seems a similar competitor to Hoofer in spec.
    Mizuno BR-D3 too.

    H2NO too much once we get it posted west.

    anything else worth looking at?

    Yes. I just slice it, and the wrap some duct tape or even a cable tie around it, seems to last for years like that.

    Essentially a strap with Velcro all over it. Would likely fit most if not all?

    Bushy. How come you got 4 nobs?. I had one of these and only had 3, which was definitely a shortcoming.

    I was given some spares- I think. Courty dismantled his last Clicgear and I got the handle box, the original umbrella holder and some other odds and ends.
