A few years ago I bought a Birkin bag and take it with me everywhere I go. I worry about it getting stolen or damaged, so I'm worried when I go out. I was tired of this mental burden, so I bought the luxrul bag.
I bought one at $400USD. Straps are not colored to bag color. They dont kay flat and get in the way. No velcro for your glove. Cart use puts short clubs in back. Who wants to keep changing bags.
Great review! Thanks Scotty! Vessel lists the weight of the rain hood and strap separately because most golf brands’ listed weight is the weight without the hood and strap.
Such a good looking bag I wish they had a 5 way version-just seems like my clubs don’t get stuck as much over the 4 way. Looks great though man! Have you tried a Jones yet?
Yeah, the sticking of the clubs is a huge issue for this bag, more than just about any other bag I have tested. The crazy part is that with the Players 4 Carbon, there are hardly any issues compared to this one, and it's smaller. I've seen plenty of Jones bags but never bought or tested one yet.
@@ScottyTidwellGolf I bounce between a players 5 and a Jones Trouper-the Jones cooler feature is great. The straps are a little weird but once you get them set they work fine-or you could always just use a single strap. Pretty sure you’d like them given all of your other bags are very similar.
Im 63 years old i did play apex blades lost a ton of distance as i got older. The ai smoke irons brought back my old distance. Im a single digit handicap golfer so these irons are for everyone
Just bought this and found that the bag's legs sag when it is standing on them - poor design by titleist as I found that other people have had the same issue
Go to eBay and search "CNC Clamp to fix golf stand bag saggy or droopy legs". That will fix the issue. For me, the carbon's legs don't sag... but for other Titleist bags they do sag a bit, compared to a Vessel, etc.
thanks for the video looking at buying the Ai's never get fitted for clubs have just about as many clubs as yourself what i compare are the face and groove patterns how much the groove pattern is from the hosel i like a longer groove pattern with room from the hosel it would have been good to see the faces compared to all your other irons faces
My handicap as of now is 16. Been playing 1 yr and 8 months. I hate the big meaty irons. I love my taylormade 770's. I used to have 790 i remember one i caught a flyer with a 7 iron 180 yard shot and flew the green about 20 yards. Also tried ping g430's before i went to the 790's and 7 iron struck out the midde was carrying 200-205. Mine now 7 iron carries 175-180 consistently. Of course i dont flush every ball out the middle. But i figured if i can learn to flush some on the more bladed side it would help me in the long run. Also im one of the guys who never got fitted. Just figured out how to hit what i got. Have been debating getting fitted into some shafts for my 770's. Not sure if it would benefit me or not!
If you don't mind spending the money, go to an iron fitting and have them test your gamer against something they think will help you. Make sure they record all of the stats and email them to you so you can review everything before making a decision or rushing to make a purchase you could regret.
I highly suggest any model G series iron from PING. You can get a decent set of G400 / G410's pretty cheap these days, or you can go newer with the G425's or G430's - check out eBay or 2nd swing . com If you really want a good deal, go to the Callaway Pre-owned website and look for some really good deals on Callaway clubs and other brands as well. I do suggest you get fitted before buying.
I got fit for these and ordered them 1 degree weak to take some distance off and solve the spin issue. Got the MMT 105tx shafts. I swing pretty fast. My issue after living with them for 6 months isn't spin or holding greens. My issues is when I middle the iron, which happens pretty often, it goes too far. Its like getting punished for good contact. I don't care how far each club goes. If I'm pulling a 130 yard club, middle it, and it goes 140, that's a problem. I think if you're a good iron player or your irons are your strong suit. These aren't it. On the flip side, if you aren't hitting the dead center of the face, which is most of us, the whole face is pretty consistent.
I consider myself as an average golfer maybe a tick below but I was considering getting these. Would the HL be the better option because of how strong the lofts already are? Or what would be a good recommendation for me? Thanks.
You can’t hold the green? Why wouldn’t you just use a 7 iron instead of the 6 you would have in another set? I’m confused lol this seems like common sense! Thanks for the info I subscribed, you have a lot of irons lol!
You can't make an informed decision without any actual data. The technology in the newer clubs makes all the difference. I would like to see you compare them with 3 or 4 of your other 6 irons. If you have trouble holding the greens you may need the HL clubs. Put up some data for us to see.
I agree 100 % .,. I haven’t played since 1980S I took up golf again.. I bought new improvements clubs calaways . I use to hit my 9 iron between 130-150 .. with the new irons I kept hitting over the greens 170 even 180S ??? I’m like what the heck is going on …no feel no touch ..no control … I wish I had my dads old clubs .. crazy ?
It's 100% because the lofts, the higher lofted 9 iron that you played gave you more control because it had higher spin rates and better landing angles compared to the loft jacked clubs of today.
Better than the DCB or Epic Forged? I like using the maltby playability factor, it's really accurate. The HL are closer to the ping on terms of forgiveness
@ScottyTidwellGolf thank you I appreciate it. I don't see myself replacing the epic forged anytime soon. Their so good and I've played every brand and damn near every model. Nothing can beat them. If it ain't broke...
You talking about people that just buy clubs and not getting fitted? Practice what you preach MF I hit those clubs perfectly because I went and got fitted. I switched from Taylormade to Callaway and it was the best thing I ever done!
My gamers are Titleist T150s that I was fit for, lol. My wedges are Callaway. I was also fit for them. I tell everyone to get fit - the average golfer doesn't get fitted for clubs.
Thanks for the great video and insights but ( I think ) if you included some raw data it would be extremely helpful. For example, you mentioned the clubs have low spin rates but what do you consider low for a 6 iron? 4,000? The same thought applies to descent angle, height, etc. thx.
Thanks, and I'll start doing that in the near future. Because of the lofts of these irons, the 5i spin rate was 2,700, and the 6i was 3,300. But yes, I think 4,000 is too low for a 6i, if you're trying to hit and hold a green.
What I look for in a golf bag is if I can pull my clubs out and put them back in with ease. I don’t like having an issue with that while playing. I have an old sun mountain 5.5 ls and don’t have that issue.
LOVED this. Strong stuff. Just subscribed. I always wondered about the actual size of “game-improvement “ & “players-distance” cause ur right most of us just order online. (I do at least)
You're not a fan of the PING Hoofer? It's pretty much the gold standard in which stand bags are measured. You can obv find cheaper stand bags, but when you look at everything, they are hard to beat.
