Welcome to GOLF.com’s “Best Of” review series, where one of GOLF’s editors reviews interesting and helpful products from around the golf world. This week: The Ping Hoofer 14 stand bag.
Background
The Ping Hoofer has been a trusty go-to bag for avid golfers for years and now comes in several different variations, like the Hoofer 14, Hoofer Lite and Hoofer Monsoon, to name a few. And then there’s the re-designed Ping Hoofer 14 stand bag, which we’ll focus on today. Here’s what you need to know about it.
The Product
First off, why would this golf bag be good for neat freaks? We’re glad you asked. Let’s start with its 14-way organizer for your golf clubs — you’ll never struggle to find your 7-iron again — and we’ll get into pocket-mania later. The 14-way top has two larger holes on the top part of the bag and three rows of four slots each below it. And while that’ll keep your clubs in order, there’s also 12 pockets — yes, 12 — to perfectly organize all the gear you bring to the course. A pocket for your rangefinder? Check. For your water bottle? Check. Lots of other stuff? Check. But besides your organizational needs, there’s also a lot more to this bag. The SensorCool Technology shoulder straps will keep you comfortable and cool, and the bag also has a handy pass-thru cart strap to easily fasten on the back of your ride. The bag weighs 5.5 pounds and is made from 300D polyester.
