Sun mountain did some upgrades on the mid strip 2025 models got some neat upgrades! Like a Magnet ranger finger pockets and a cart sleeve pass through! Hope that helps some people! 😁
@@breakingeightyplease do! I’d be interested in your opinion on the new model. They even upgraded their shoulder strap to be a bit more robust. Overall they did a good job to do some minor upgrades and to still keep it the same weight as the previous year. Would be interested in seeing your take and how the newer model compares to the newer bags on the market! Love my sun mountain!
I bought a Jones trouper R and hated it. The strap complaint is real. If you walk I never felt the bag sat right ever even after endlessly adjusting straps. The cooler pocket material started to wear off and id have little silver shards all over the bag. After about 6 months the carry handle was starting to separate and a bunch of stitching was fraying all over the bag. In fairness to Jones they did send me a replacement bag that serves backup duty now. I think its a neat bag if you occasionally play and want something different but I wasn't thrilled by the durability and usability of it. I eventually just ended up back at my ping hoofer thats been rock solid.
I just got a Kradul. It’s an amazing luxury bag with the absolute best pricing at under $300! Love it so far and I get tons of compliments. I agree, the mid strip is one of the coolest looking bags as well!
The most low key necessary feature for walkers is a convenient Velcro patch for a glove. Old ping hoofers had one near the water bottle and it was so easy to slip off a glove and stick it while walking.
@@breakingeighty it’s not even the one above the ball pocket, but the one on the side of the bag. It might not look as streamlined but just a great way to not have to shove a glove in a pocket.
Sold my Sunday Big Rig and got the Ranger. I don't know if I'll ever get another bag. It's great on a cart or walking. After having a lot of Sunday Golf bags it's definitely the best they have made.
You sold me on the Jones Sports Co trouper. Just ordered one, first time ever ordering a bag (still using the strata bag i got with my old cheapo clubs). Excited to use the bag to try walking on course and for carts on the weekends.
This is my first time watching your video and I loved it. I don't purchase luxury bags and I probably never will, or if I do, it will be pre-loved. But I do buy kislux occasionally of the styles that I really like. I truly appreciate your comparisons here, which have helped me make a decision about a couple for which I was on the fence. I'll be pulling the trigger now. Thanks for this and your humor.
For a long time, as Chanel prices have risen, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I would be happy to have a kislux as a travel bag that I don't have to take care of. By the way, I'm sure no one would have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.
"I love a good kislux because it helps me decide if I want to buy the real thing or NOT." That part right there. That's IT. I feel like people stigmatize dupes but for me, I pause on large purchases that are trendy or when I feel the overconsumption mania setting in FOR ME. (It's something I struggle with LOL! I'm easily convinced to buy things I don't wear or use. They'll literally have the tags and I'll even forget I bought something and have 2 or 3 of them in my closet.) Love this video!
Totally agree with you and previous comments on the Vessel Lux Pro Cart for cart riders! One thing to add is the Golf Club Organizer that fits the Lux Pro Cart. If like me, you hate club chatter because of the noise and wear on your clubs, it is fantastic. Not only does it have V-shaped slots, but it also has a magnet to hold the iron. BTW, how can you come to metro Atlanta to play Reynolds Plantation and not invite a Subscriber to join you? LOL Love your stuff!
I have the Vessel Lux Pro cart bag and it looks amazing. But as soon as you put anything in the side pockets, like a sweat shirt or similar, you can feel the grips (standard or midsize) being harder to put in and out of the bag. I also have a Vessel Player III and surprisingly that does suffer as much as the much bigger cart bag 🤷♂️
Not gonna lie, the Player III might be my favorite bag of all time. New Player models are fantastic, but that one ticked all the right boxes at a lower price than the newest ones.
Superstroke are making some very underrated bags too. Got the Hybrid stand bag and absolutely love it! Got it on sale and honestly compares well to the Vessel bags but for much less.
Hybrid bag - what do all the stand bags reverse the way clubs are put in (14 way) rather than letting the drivers be near the stand legs so it - as a hybrid - fits more appropriately on a cart? I turn my hybrid sideways to make it more accommodating.....
I’d kill to see a review of the Hudson Sutler bag - it’s similar to a rover bag and I nearly bought it instead. Love my rover but I definitely wish I had tried the Hudson sutler
I have a Vessel Player IV Pro and love it. It got a bit damaged in transport recently. I almost exclusively push or ride, and am trying to decide between potentially upgrading to the Player V Pro or the Lux XV 2.0 (or whatever they're calling it now) but am torn, any thoughts? I have the Sun Mountain Club glider Pro and travel roughly every other month if that factors in
Getting my Vessel Player V pro tomorrow!! (they offered free embroidery) I absolutely love my Jones Rover ! the padding is incredibly comfortable (not as happy with my Trooper where storage is not that convenient) For Junior i think the Vessel Player Junior is far superior to Sunday (which we have as well) My 9 y/o son prefers carrying the Vessel way more ! Lastly for SunMountain i got the new H2NO and it’s very uncomfortable & super hard to adjust the straps. Useless to me. And yes the club glider is the best travel bag.
Great video! I find that the internal dividers on every golf bag i purchase end up ripping due to constantly pulling out clubs. Do any of these bags boast reinforced internal dividers that won't rip apart after 1 season?
I ride 90% of rounds (my membership includes a cart, hard to say no when it’s free) but I absolutely love the look and features of the jones bag, is it usable in a cart? Otherwise I’m considering the Mid Stripe cart version, what would you recommend? Not a huge fan of how big and bulky the Vessel & Sunday Cart bags are, I don’t carry much in my bag usually
Totally usable on a cart, but isn't quite as stable as some other bags. The Vessel V Pro is definitely one to consider, and while I have an older Mid Stripe, the new ones I've been told have a cart strap pass through - so I think that could also be a great option.
Thx, Sean, disappointed with Vessel V and the extra weight, I think it's a red flag! I already have the Vessel Air and IV. Would like to find another IV with a six-way divider.
Is Black Friday a good time to buy a new rangefinder? I’m in the market for a new one this upcoming season. I get a good PUD on shotscope, Nikon and vortex but I don’t mind spending more on other brands
Hi Thank you for your in depth videos i have a question on your opinion on ghost bags. In the Uk vessel are pretty much impossible to find and the best next option is ghost carry or cart. Best Wishes Andy
Quality wise they're fantastic. Very well built, but have the same issue as the Vessel in that they're heavy. And for me personally, they go way too overboard on the Ghost branding - but some people love that. breakingeighty.com/ghost-golf-anyday-review
I have a vessel lux pro for using with my electric trolley and a player 4 pro dxr for everything else which I love dearly except for the fact that it's too short for my electric trolley. I see the the player 5 pro version is 11/4'' longer than the 4 pro so hoping they have solved this issue and I will probably replace my 4 pro. Did you use the 5 pro and how did you use it?
Yes, the V Pro is excellent. It really feels like they're building it for that hybrid golfer who wants to use a cart/electric trolley/occasionally walk. So without knowing for sure, my guess is that this will perform better for you than the IV
I'm also used to picking up fashionable and discounted bags from kislux , and to be fair, I don't think there's anything wrong with individuals choosing to buy fakes for personal use, so it's not necessarily a bad thing, it just gives us a choice
In 12 years of taking dozens of trips with a soft bag, I had a tripod leg snap off about 8 years ago, and I had the leg on one of my golf bags also snap off.
I’m looking for a new cart bad and I’m between the Sunday Big Rig, Vessel, and the new Ghost cart bag. But current bag is a ghost and the clubs constantly get stuck. Any issues with that on the Sunday or Vessel? Any experience with the new Ghost cart bag? Thank you!
When I was 12 my mom took me to the LV on Bloor Street in Toronto. I had my fake LV from kislux on my arm and thought I was cute. The sweet sales ladies let me try on a bag and a pair of heels knowing we were not wealthy and couldn't afford to purchase anything. It as really nice. No one seemed to care I had a fake bag and I felt special. They even gave me a paper shopping bag which I used as a lunch bag for weeks after! :) Who cares if people don't have real ones? I'm 30 now and ironically, although I can afford them I still prefer real people with fake bags than fake people with real bags. Just saying :) (not that everyone who carries a real one is bad or vice versa.) Just means I don't care if people carry fakes.
I love my kislux bags. I've had them for a long time and they look like new. I like to spend money wisely. How many people spend all their money on expensive handbags, cars and accessories only to have it blown away? There's nothing special about high priced luxury bags
I'd rather buy a $300 knockoff of a kislux and have $3000 in the bank. At the end of the day it's just a bag and will wear out like any other bag. The cost of the raw materials isn't that high. The real question is, how much do you value the authenticity?
othing we can do about fakesâ¦I could care less how many people have the same bag as myselfâ¦that makes it really spoken for.. I hate when people say they donât want a certain purse because everyone has it well everyone has a hole are we gonna get rid of ours because of that? Everyone one does something different with their kislux for example their style, your style will set you apart.
For me, it's impossible to buy all the originals I want. I can buy as many replicas of kislux as I want. If the craftsmanship is really good, why wouldn't I want Chanel and Kelly bags in all colors?
For me personally, just admiring the appearance, not all bags are worth the money. That being said, I do buy quality fakes/knockoffs at kislux because I wouldn't spend my money on the real thing.
I don't think you should be so hard on yourself. Just recently I was watching a daytime talk show and this woman and her cousin inherited her grandmother's bag closet. She said her grandmother had four bag closets. One for each season and they were all replica bags purchased from kislux .
For us non-professionals, it is difficult to distinguish real bags from fake bags, and people have not noticed that many rich people carry kislux fake bags.
I thought everyone who owned an LV letter bag knew it was obviously coated canvas? When people spend a lot of money on an expensive bag, they might as well buy a replica kislux
Having money doesn't mean you can spend it recklessly and most people, no matter how rich, don't want to waste money for no reason. The kislux is the best solution to save money and save face.
This is my first time watching your video and I loved it. I don't purchase luxury bags and I probably never will, or if I do, it will be pre-loved. But I do buy kislux occasionally of the styles that I really like. I truly appreciate your comparisons here, which have helped me make a decision about a couple for which I was on the fence. I'll be pulling the trigger now. Thanks for this and your humor.

The most low key necessary feature for walkers is a convenient Velcro patch for a glove. Old ping hoofers had one near the water bottle and it was so easy to slip off a glove and stick it while walking.
It's funny, I rarely use that feature, but I know so many people who would never buy a bag without it.

Club glider is a game changer. I also picked up a pins and aces bag which is really great as well.
For a long time, as Chanel prices have risen, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I would be happy to have a kislux as a travel bag that I don't have to take care of. By the way, I'm sure no one would have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.
I grabbed a Vessel V Pro on the Black Friday discount.
