Tester Feedback

PING continues to set the standard in stand-bag performance, once again dominating MyGolfSpy’s stand-bag testing. Testers consistently praised the balance, storage capacity, and usability of the PING Hoofer. The stand system is stable and deploys easily, and the stacked pocket design improves accessibility. One tester noted, “PING just seems to get the basics right with no gimmicks.”

The cart-strap channel ensures pockets remain usable even when secured to a cart. While the bag isn’t the lightest on the market, testers found the convertible shoulder straps comfortable, effectively distributing weight.

Buy This If

• You demand stability/responsiveness.

The PING Hoofer stand system is not only stable, but deploys quickly and fully without an ounce of fuss.

• You’re looking for accessible/usable storage space.

The PING Hoofer has a plethora of pockets with a “slimmer, stacked pocket configuration” that permits easy access to all your golf paraphernalia and limits intrusion from other pockets.

Don’t Buy This If

• You’re looking for the quintessential ultralight carry bag. 

At 5 pounds, 11 ounces, as tested, the PING Hoofer is just over two pounds heavier than the lightest bag in this year’s test.  Don’t fret, however, as the padded, convertible shoulder straps distribute the weight nicely.

Bottom Line

With an upgraded divider system, smart storage layout, and versatile carry options, the PING Hoofer remains a go-to choice for golfers who want a mix of organization, accessibility, and durability.

If the PING Hoofer isn’t for you, the Hoofer 14 and Hoofer Lite also earn top-five finishes in MyGolfSpy’s 2025 testing.
