It’s the highest-end carry bag from Titlelist, and I’ve gotta say it looks great. When I recently posted a review of another bag, I asked Breaking Eighty readers what bag they would recommend, and a surprisingly high number of people came back raving about the Titleist Linksmaster.Īs I understand it, the Linksmaster was built to directly compete with the Stitch SL2. Where to Buy: Buy on their website here.Price: Prices start around $425 for a nylon bag, and go way up from there.You won’t find fancy technology, tons of space, or even a double strap – but if you want something special, then Mackenzie is absolutely the first place I’d look. Solid Alternative: Vessel Player iii or Jones Trouper R.ĭo you want something more than just a golf bag? Something special that’s customized to you, tells a story, and has the potential to be passed down to a family member in the future?.Our Review: Sun Mountain Mid-Stripe: A New Player in the Luxury Bag Market.So if you want a great-looking, super functional bag, that you won’t see a dozen of at the range? Give the Sun Mountain Mid Stripe a look. I’ve received a TON of compliments on it over the past couple months. Its retro vintage style is similar to the Trouper series, but the Mid-Stripe also has more modern touches like the vinyl weather-resistant material of the Vessel bag.Īnd a huge bonus? This bag has been flying under the radar. It’s kind of like if the Jones and Vessel bags had a baby. It’s one of the best-looking bags on the market, and is super functional and comfortable as well. It’s every bit as good as the Jones Trouper R and the Vessel Player iii. This new bag from Sun Mountain didn’t fit into any other clear category, but let’s get one thing straight: this is currently one of my favorite bags in golf. Review: Jones Utility Trouper 2.0 ReviewĮditor’s Choice: Sun Mountain Mid-Stripe Bag.But as I understand it, the changes are relatively minor. As soon as I do, I’ll do a dedicated review. I’ve reviewed the original Utility Trouper and the Utility Trouper 2.0, but have yet to get my hands on a Trouper R. Despite the higher price, the Vessel narrowly edges it out currently, as it’s finally back in stock and has some higher-end finishes.īut for many people? The Trouper R will absolutely be the better bag. This and the Vessel duked it out for my top spot of the year. This is the swiss army knife of golf bags, and gets my highest recommendation. Load it up and go double strap or cart? Check and check. Want to carry light with a single strap? Check. Want a throwback style that gets respect everywhere you take it? Check. Want a bag with plenty of space for everything you need? Check. It may just be the best “do-anything” bag in golf. It has a throwback style that feels like it’s truly an ode to the game, but has modern conveniences like a built-in cooler, that make it a great everyday carry bag. The Jones Trouper series is quite simply one of the coolest bags in golf. But the changes in the newer Trouper R are pretty minor. I tried to cover both the highlights and lowlights of each bag to give you an honest assessment of what to expect. Once you have answers to these, then the following recommendations will help you narrow down the best bag for you.
