Feels great on the back. Especially once i took out the insert that stiffens up the main top pocket

I had to take that out too. After the first round I noticed it digging into my back. After taking it out it feels great

i heard the owner is a back doctor. can't remember who i heard it from though.

Love the bag just trimmed an arch in the bottom piece that hurts your back now it's super comfy love how it rides on my back fits just right. Thanks for your hard work Chris. And congratulations on the marriage!

That is correct!

I'm glad everyone is enjoying the bag, again the ability to take out the plastic at the top and bottom gives everyone the fit they want, you can make it stiff, form fitting or soft and take the entire piece out.


Thanks for the marriage congrats. It should be interesting!!

Played a round before the rain today love the bag trimming up the bottom piece makes all the difference. Funny thing is I played the best round I have ever played at my local course today! Coincidence?

Can you show a pic of how you trimmed the bottom?

 

[justchuckit]

What did you use to trim it?

 

[skizzle34]

I can upload a picture when I get home and I used a regular ol pair of scissors

I received mine today and it is a looker in that camo! The build quality is solid and I got 25 discs in it without resorting to the top section. The downside for me is similar to a previous poster; the sternum strap is pretty high. I have had this problem on other backpack bags but they were removable, while this one isn't. I plan on giving the bag a couple rounds but I'm not optimistic.

 

[mj20300]

I dont ever wear the sternum straps

 

[Titan037]

I dont ever wear the sternum straps

agreed, unless you are hiking a mile to a hole or riding a bike, I don't think they are necessary.

 

[skizzle34]

There is also the prospect of cutting them off and having them sewn back on lower on the straps sometimes you gotta get a little creative before just ditching something

 

[kilgus]

Agreed lol, it's an option but I can't think of one time I've said man I wish I had sternum straps right now

 

[kilgus]

The sternum straps are 2/3 down the backpack straps, makes it difficult to move to far down without dragging the ground when the bag is off. And unlike other bags we use 1.5 inch webbing and not 1 inch or half inch.
