The Vessel Player V Pro is Fantastic. But...

[@AlabamaGolfer]

The thing I like about Vessel bags is they seem like they have gone above and beyond in the attention to detail department. My wife and I both use cart bags for the most part. Mine is a Vessel, hers is a Ping. You can set mine on a flat surface and feel confident it won’t fall over unless you make an effort to knock it over. My wife’s bag will fall over if the clubs aren’t sorted right, she’s got too many balls in the bag, or if there’s just a slight unevenness to the ground. In addition, the club organizer on the Vessel cart bag is an awesome attachment so I don’t have to listen to my clubs bang into each other when traversing rough ground, the premium materials feel like they’ll last a lifetime, and they even included a fancy bottle opener that blends seamlessly into the bag. If you can get over the price tag and the extra weight isn’t going to be an issue for you, I just don’t think there’s another bag maker out there that does it better.

Agreed :D

Got the regular player IV in grey. Love it and will never change until it dies on me😂

[@phillipnorton4866]

I agree the Vessell bag looks great but you are also correct that Caddies hate the Vessel bags because of the weight

[@Tuckercashthecorgi]

Facts! My first ever loop was carrying 2 Vessel bags and got home that night and had bruises on shoulders. 😮 great cart bags, carrying…..not so much.

[@joshuamartins9487]

They're easily one of the most comfortable shoulder strap system

[@johnpetolillo288]

Just made my purchase for the Player V Pro in the Iron Brew colorway! Super excited to see it in person when it comes in. Coming from a Titleist Hybrid 14 which is a great bag. But I just wanted something a little more premium with the leather. So I’m curious to see how this compares/contrasts. I’m sure I’ll love it

[@bentottle917]

Always love your Vessel reviews. My Player4 Pro DXR arrived back in March and yes its a tad heavy but everything else is just the best in the business. Even with the Cart strap, which btw may interfere with clubs in and out due to the fact its around the bag, I'm still pleased I got the 4pro. The 4 is already weighty, i think i would find the 5 unworkable for carry.

[@shaggygolf4642]

Love this review. Bought mine tonight. Black Friday deal!

I'm on the fence between Vessel and Ghost

@@charlesbrie8711you and me both. Think I’m leaning towards the Vessel personally

[@dstuart3]

Thx for all ur great reviews

[@Rumlen25]

Would love to see a comparison between the Vessel Air and the Sunday Ranger! I'm trying to decide between the two and tough without being able to see them in person.

[@petero4776]

This was an excellent review. I feel like I could happily act on the information you provided. Also, the Player IV is the best bag I’ve owned to date but I do switch to my Hoofer if I’m traveling. Thanks!

[@samgoddard3483]

Been waiting for you to review this. Been toying with getting this aswell, leaning towards the 7 way player 5 pro DXR

[@breakingeighty]

Definitely can't go wrong! I haven't used the Player V DXR, but have really enjoyed IV DXR.

[@samgoddard3483]

@@breakingeightyappreciate it! Might be worth looking at that also to save a little cash

[@TheSquid9124]

The greatest golf bag of all time

[@MidAntlanticGolfer]

I just played my first round with the V Pro. It’s an amazing bag and is much more functional than my last bag. Sounds strange to say this, but even the handle feels great

[@the_full_english]

Just save your money and get a Titleist players 4. Affordable, really light and as solid as they come. Had mine years and once something finally breaks on it I’m 100% buying another one :)

[@SmallExpectationsHD]

would love to see a review of the Asher golf bags!

[@RichieMaccas]

Do you think the upgrades over the 4 are worth the higher price tag, or would it be better to pick up a 4 on a discounted price?

[@sunnyside1970]

Thoroughly researched and bought a Player IV DXR Pro last month...then the V is released. Arghhhhh...I like the offset putter well so much more and the magnetic pocket up top. Oh well, still enjoy my IV.

[@sordomudo11]

I just received a 14-way Player V and I'm having real difficulty seeing my irons when the legs are deployed, because my woods hang out over them and obscure my view. Is this less of an issue with the 6-way (presumably, b/c all clubs fall to the front of their respective divider? Might be a deal-breaker for me.

[@turtlesmrf9955]

Can you review the new takomo stand bag!

[@masaguchi46]

No DXR version? I have the player 4 pro DXR and it great!

[@bertraminc9412]

Good reviews report the legs wearing through the rubber feet. Did you mention that?

[@phil88171]

I really want to see a review of the Jones Rider cart bag.

[@markmakes8697]

man that weight is killer. If the Regular Player V had a 7 way top, it'd already be in my cart. Shame, since tops with putter wells were on previous Vessel iterations.

[@BladSpot]

The main problem for me is that the quality is so bad nowadays. The quality is much better and the prices are much lower in kislux small boutiques. There is just no marketing. When I was a little girl the luxury goods were much better than the cheaper brands.

[@ProsperSchweda]

Regardless of the kislux bag or any other factors, I ardently hold that without proper expertise, one would fail to distinguish variations in the sack's appearance or metal parts.

[@eJunkee]

If you are an avid golfer play 2-3 times a week, these leather bags will not last two years. The synthetic leather peels and scratches easily from everyday use. I've had my Vessel lV Pro for 18 months, the storage is amazing but everything is wearing off. The edges are scratching off and leather peeling. Color if fading too from sun UV ray. I don't recommend any of these bags if you want something to last.

[@protor6_689]

WHERE THE FRICK DO YOU GET A 52 HI TOE?! I CANT FIND A 52 ON DRUMMOND GOLF OR ANYTHING IM IN AUS

[@Itsmax717]

I bought it and returned it and am sticking with the regular 4. Its way tooooo big for a stand bag.

[@dlstoneyd]

You should consider including a waterproof question on your golf bag quiz

[@dghustles1118]

I’ll keep asking, Shapland bag review please!

[@breakingeighty]

haha it's definitely on my radar! Not sure it'll happen by the end of the year, but will do my best to get one sometime soon!

[@jack91522]

At 9 lbs id rather get a cart bag. Im not walking 18 with a 9lb bag

[@joshuamartins9487]

Thanks captain obvious..... this isn't a bag someone would buy with the intention to be walking the course with it

[@gaberoche8414]

You should take a look at Shapland Bags!!! They’re all handmade and around vessel price. Probably the best walking bag around

[@bertfukuda559]

7.5lbs, holy jesus.

[@GaldinoPulidori]

There is no point in being selectively angry. So you don’t believe in buying fake bags, a purchase is a purchase, regardless of the intention. I personally think it's crazy to care too much about how people want to spend their money. I bought real coach, marc jacobs, and mcm. If it's more than 1500, I'll buy a replica kislux . Guess what else I have in the bank, I'm a homeowner and drive a Lexus. I saw someone on KZbin who had tons of luxury items, lived in their mom's house, and was broke

[@lechienvitre9212]

Just received mine in gray, looks like it belongs in the trunk of Rolls

[@joeweiner7570]

Buy a Kradul and save 300 bucks.

[@AgripinaMaurin]

The reality is: if you're rich and famous, your kislux bags are seen as a sign of success. If you are just an ordinary worker working a 9-to-5 job, your real bag is likely to be considered the fruit of your efforts.

[@BlainFurgerson]

Honestly, who cares if it's fake. I bought the original last year and, frankly, after checking it out, I wasn't impressed with the price I paid. And prices are rising every year. It’s better to go to kislux and buy a high-quality replica.
