The PING Hoofer 14 is right there when it comes to the best stand bags for 2024. Outside of the 14-way top, this bag is a Hoofer through and through. The slight added weight and the less streamlined dividers put this bag just below the OG Hoofer.
Weight: 5.9 pounds
Top: 9.5-inch top with 14-club divider
Pockets: Nine zippered pockets, including a waterproof valuables pocket and a magnetic rangefinder pocket.
Extras: Adjustable comfort padded shoulder strap, embroiderable ball pocket, Integrates well with push cart
The PING zippers are really high quality. They open easily and, most importantly, are large enough to fit your hand. You’ll have no trouble staying organized with this PING Hoofer 14 bag.
The PING Hoofer 14 stand bag is durable. Since the bag weighs six pounds, it’s a little heavier and we worry about stability sometimes. Nevertheless, the PING Hoofer 14 holds up well even with a heavy bag.
The PING Hoofer 14 scored a quarter of a point lower in our golf stand bag testing than the traditional PING Hoofer. This difference is all in the weight. If you walk the course every time, think about going with the lighter Hoofer.
The PING Hoofer 14 is best for golfers who enjoy walking but also want the opportunity to throw the bag on a cart from time to time. If you have graphite-shafted golf clubs, you’ll love the 14-club divider and how easy it is to get clubs in and out while keeping them protected.
► You value stability: The PING Hoofer 14 has the same stable legs as the Hoofer.
► You need 14-way dividers: PING Hoofer has the same great features of the Hoofer with the addition of the 14-way divider top.
✖︎ You’re on a budget: At $280, the PING Hoofer 14 is not the most economical stand bag in our test, and is $5 more than the OG Hoofer.
✖︎ You want something ultra light: The 14-way top of the Hoofer 14 makes it heavier than some other golf stand bags.

Sorry to say your bags and others are getting way to expensive. Your going with the times where everyone is raising prices. Your not helping golf or the economy. I pay way less from an overseas company with NO extra fees.

You call yourself a golf website and you review stand golf bags without clearly listing… Wait for it…. The weight? Lame

Interesting that Ping Hoofer-14 gets such a good review here (9.5 and runner-up for best of 2024), but it gets awful reviews at the Ping website where people that actually bought them are reviewing. Average review is 2.8 out of 5. Many more 2-star reviews than any other rating. I am in the market for a 14-way top stand bag. The reviews on Pings website have scared me away.
