Zippers Make Pockets More Accessible

What good would 16 pockets be with poor access? Our testers loved the zippers on the PING Hoofer, which are designed to make storage and organization easier. They open wide, allowing you to get to the bottom without having to blindly stick your hand down.

Comfortable Carrying System – Even If It’s Heavy

The PING Hoofer scored incredibly well for its comfort while carrying. The dual-strap setup is the favorite, though it can be converted to a single strap. Despite being a heavier stand bag, the PING Hoofer doesn’t feel cumbersome. 

Stand Is Sturdy

If you like stand bags but don’t want to walk the course, the PING Hoofer sits securely on a cart with the cart strap channel. The other feature that testers really liked was the new scratch-resistant leg guards. You will notice less wear and tear and more durability of the stand system over time. PING built this one to last. 

Who Should Buy the PING Hoofer?

This is the best stand bag of 2024. PING perennially leads the way when it comes to stand bags and our testers loved the options for storage, the durable zippers, easy access to gear and the overall stability.
