Took delivery of Titleist StaDry Reverse Cart Bag today.
First impression, looks like a thing of beauty. The main reason for buying was the need to replace existing Ogio with a waterproof bag. The waterproof material is similar to what you are likely to find in a raincoat but it looks like it is made of leather. It definitely looks a few quids more than its sticker price.
It has 14 full way dividers (though a few look like they are not true full way dividers). No separate putter well, but there is a big integrated putter well - should easily swallow a superstroke putter grip. It has plenty of handles to be able to lift and move it around the car or cart. No place to keep water bottle or stick your gloves (though I dont need it). Also no (obvious) place to keep tees or balls externally.
There are 2 full length pockets on each side look like it should take a lot of load. Also has 2 smaller lined pockets on the side for valuables. There are 3 pockets in front and all look lined. All the zips are thermosealed so should stop any water getting in via the zips.
There is place to store the shoulder strap which is a nice touch. There is an external umbrella loop and a towel clip. There is a small space under the top front pocket to slide the cart strap thru (again good idea if you only use carts)
Negatives:
1) The space for the cart strap will be very useful if you exclusively use carts. However, it will be an interesting challenge to put my Clicgear trolley loops thru it.
2) The big negative is the rain hood. It does not open completely and it will be difficult to play a round with the hood on - as it is impossible to get to the putter with the hood on. Storing clubs in the evening will be an equal challenge as it looks like I will need to wrestle with 14 clubs to put the hood back on.
Rating
Looks: 9/10
Functionality: It could have been an 8, but the issue with the hood gets it down to 6.5 -7 territory
Will do a updated review once I have had a chance to take it to the course.
ps: Verdict from my son... loves it as he wants to use it for his plastic 10 inch clubs.
