WE TRIED IT: VICE Force Golf Bag Review

Have you reviewed Ghost Golf bags?

I like 6 dividers over 14 individual. would prefer additional individual for putter and maybe driver. I would use bag at reasonable price.

Not for me. color scheme is hard to match. price too high

I’m a full-length divider guy so this bag is definitely out. Plus, I walk with a pushcart so I don’t need the legs. I bought a $99 bag from Walmart last year. It’s light, full-length dividers, enough pockets & sets up for well for a pushcart.

I like golf stuff that is a little loud, I was interested except I thought it was a little pricey for what it is….and a six-way divider?!? Complete deal breaker for me, now days I only use 14 or 15 way divided bags.

No thanks, I think in my dusty area the bag would soon be dirty and no longer appealing.

A bit flashy, too much for my liking

Over 50 and carry every round. Like the look and the dividers. Don’t like paint splatter pattern and magnetic closure. Both make this a no for me.

I don’t like a six-way top on a bag, I prefer a bag with a dedicated putter slot, and there’s no way to protect your putter with these bags (I refuse to keep a headcover on my putter during a round).. I used to carry all the time, but now walk and push. Much more comfortable for me AND my back.
When I walked all the time my favorite bags were Ogio. Loved the “Wood-e” club divider system and the putter slot.

From what I can see, not a fan. I like the Ping and Mizuno cart bags.

I don’t like it. I LOVE it!!!! Perfect color scheme!!!

I don’t really mind the color. I’m 65, and times are changing. The young would say “it’s not my father’s bag”…lol. I walk and carry in my 9-hole leagues, so I like stand bags, but………I was able to stand my Sun Mountain straight up in my office or garage for about a month. After that, it started to lean and fall over. It appears that this stand bag can actually stand like a cart bag due to the reinforced thicker bottom. Something I would really like for storing or wiping down the clubs in the garage while having a few cold ones after golf.

No!

First, it’s Grey not White. Second, you can get it for about half that ‘list’ price on Walmart’s website or others. Not saying it’s a winner just that the negatives being pointed out in comments are not exactly correct.

Cool looking but too flashy for me.

I don’t even think Harry’s serious about this bag. It looks like an ok bag, I’m not sure the weight was given (and don’t feel like scrolling up), but if the straps are digging in your side, that’s not good. Also, I don’t see how clubs won’t snag without individual sleeves – wherever you put your putter in this bag appears to be against other clubs. I play midsize and plus 4 grips, so snagging is an issue, especially if my somewhat oversized putter grip is next to my other clubs. I guess that’s a long way of saying it’s not what I’m looking for in a bag.

Nice looking bag! If I didn’t already have a nice bag, I would have this one on my list.

Looks good, but I wouldn’t pay that much for a golf bag.

It takes balls to play golf I wouldn’t look to get horse in the mouth if somebody gave me that bag I would use it

👍

I like the look, especially since I frequently play the Vice Pro Soft Drip Red. But I don’t like the weight. I am 78, and walk and carry 9 holes, usually use a battery pushcart for 18. My favorite stand bags are the SunMountain 2.5+ and Titleist Players 4. Both are comfortable and wear well.

“ideal carry bag”????? Harry Harry Harry! Ideal for what?

Great looking bag, probably would have gone for charcoal in place of bright white for longer wear reasons, but still an excellent entry!

I don’t mind the color scheme, though I do worry about it looking dirty, but I’m now old enough that I’m using a push cart 99% of the time, so I wouldn’t buy a new carry bag. I also prefer a 14-way divider system. I don’t like the rangefinder pocket being near the bottom, if that is what is being shown on one of the middle photos.

Don’t care for the color scheme of the bag and would not use one as there are better ones out there.

Too much fling! Just not a avg. guy style bag. I like cart bags too. I will pass on this one. Thanks Harry for the review.

Looks great!!! Would use it!

The topography of the course I play does not encourage walking, either with a push cart or straight carry. I don’t see anyone over 50 walking. So, short story is I have no use for a carry bag and no experience to compare this bag with any of the more recognizable names. Having said all that, IF I were to consider buying one, this would NOT make my short list because the paint spatter design is just plain UGLY, IMHO.

Like a previous comment…….$280?! I will also stick to my Ping bag. Love it, as far as golf bags go. The sides of this one look like it was set next to the mud where I just hit my ball. But still a good, honest review!

Nice , but not for that money.

Friends don’t let friends wear (carry or roll) neon…

Interesting review. For a few dollars more you can get a Vessel bag that has upgraded materials, a better strap system, and overall looks lightyears ahead in design and quality. Or catch the Stich SL2 on sale this week for $272 which looks head and shoulders better than this Vice bag. For almost $300 there are better and more attractive bags out there IMHO.

I would use this bag. Colors are very subjective to the user. But I like the light colors living in Florida. Thanks.

No, I ‘m not big on bag that look like they would show there wear & dirt

I like the look n colour scheme. Though the magnetic flap at the bottom is not convenient, can’t think of any stand bag that has this feature. If I play 9 holes, I carry the bag n walk. 18 holes, push cart. Some dislike white because they get stain? I guess these guys don’t wear white golf shoes or drive a white colour car?

Nope. Don’t need the attention. Buy my bags on Craigslist. Good selection, great prices. No way bags are worth what they’re asking for them new.

Seems like the pockets for holding each club is too large., as I’m usually in favor of the 14 way bag.

I like the looks of it but I’m a dedicated BagBoy Revolver fan. It’s heavy but since I don’t walk the course anymore the weight isn’t a factor and knowing where each club is and being able to bring it to the front of the bag counts for a lot to me.

I play Vice Balls and would have no problem trying their bag the next time I get one.

It has some nice features and is eye catching, but, I think there are better bags and options at the same or less expensive price point.

Nope anything white in golf stays white for maybe 5 rounds then it just looks dirty give me black

I’m a pretty picky guy, when it comes to movies and golf equipment. I wouldn’t be cought dead with the Vice force golf bag. Garbage as far as I’m concerned.

I have 2 Vice cart bags. Both are terrific bags. Whoever makes these for Vice, cusps to them for a high quality bag. I play about 3 times a week and the bags get tossed around a lot. Best bags I have ever had. The reason for two? Second bag was picked up on Walmart clearance for $85….for a $270 bag!

I’m an individual divider guy so I usually buy a Datrek bag. If you are wondering about all the spots on the bag I guess it just looks like any white bag after you’ve had it on a golf cart when it’s wet on the course and the cart paths aren’t hard surfaced. Mud and muddy water splashes up and makes a mess. That’s why I don’t buy white bags. They’re impossible to keep clean.

Love the Vice Pro balls. I would definitely give that bag a try.

The Vice bag not only looks good, but it is designed in such a way to be fully functional while holding up. I would use it primarily as a cart bag seeing it has enough in the way of features to serve that purpose well. The design tweeks are innovative. Would love to have one. Are there other colorways?

Looks like the typical VICE product – solid for the price, and different enough to stand out without being offensive (essentially free advertising). Not a fan of the splash colorway, but since VICE seems to adjust with trends, I would be interested in their offerings when I’m ready to replace my bag.

Not a bad looking bag!

Had a similar bag, minus the black dots, that I gave away. It always appeared dirty, no matter what I did to to clean it up. I believe Ogio was the bag maker culprit.

Nope! The bag is coyote ugly. $280.00? Lots of stylish bags out there for that money.

I like the looks: however, if that is the magnetic rangefinder pocket (shown in the picture with the hand) then that would be a deal breaker for me. Why would I want to bend over to fish out my rangefinder every time I need a distance?!?.

Looks like they did a nice job of designing this bag, some great features. I’m not a fan of the color scheme, however – they should offer more color choices.

Maybe if they used the Red, White & Blue spatter. I think my sons would like this…I guess I’m too old for this color scheme…

I would use the vice bag

I would try out this bag for sure. I think it has all of the features I would want. It looks good too.

I would use that bag. Looks good.

I’m a new golfer but have played 18 once or twice almost every weekend this year. And while I am ‘annoyingly good’ as my husband puts is, the last thing I want when I’m out there is to draw unnecessary attention to myself – no matter how I’m playing. So for me, this is way too flashy. When I bought my own set they had one in sky blue with polka dots, a purple one, and a neon green/gray like this. Uh, no. So I special ordered a blue and gray ladies set. This Vice bag looks like great quality and some thoughtful design – I couldn’t agree more re too many pockets! Diff colors and maybe would consider when I upgrade depending on its weight.

I love this golf bag !!!!

If it was a quality bag at a decent price I would be interested. For $280, I’ll stick with the brands I know.

Golf is as much fun as you make it. Shanked one in front of the clubhouse? So what? Tee it up again and let it rip! Three-putted from 6 feet? Laugh it off and make a “just giving you guys some advantage” joke to your buddies. This bag is just fun! Add the practicality and cool attention grabbing colors to the mix and what you’ve got is a bag for the bold! I’d definitely switch out my TM stand bag for this one.

No I would not buy. Too expensive for carry bag. I prefer a 14 way cart bag.

I like the design, especially the top. A lot of the new bags have a lot more smaller openings which I find difficult. If you have grips above standard size the multiple smaller openings don’t work. I’ve pulled a 30 year old bag out of the basement to accommodate my clubs with jumbo grips.

Nice bag but I can buy 2 Inesis bags for that price. Looks like a copy btw.

Bag is sharp looking, but white bags always get dirty after a few months., its inevitable. I’m a push cart guy and get off the wheels or going through dep grass. Perhaps if you carry you can be more careful – but I don’t want to fuss about keeping my bag clean when I’m playing.

Yes, I would buy, if price was right.

Yeah I don’t mine it.

I’m glad that the bag has nice features, some of which are innovative, others are just good features that should be in more bags. I wish you’d told us if the bag, and pockets, held their shape. Seriously, the colors are off-putting. I had a white bag that I loved, but after two seasons, it had to be replaced as I couldn’t get it clean. This light gray seems likely to have that same issue. The bag also looks blocky and fairly ungainly/unbalanced to me. I might be interested in a different color scheme, but overall there’s nothing about it that tells me “I gotta have it.”

If it was 80s Day on the course and I had Paula Abdul in my foursome, sure.

I definitely would game it, if for no other reason than the 6 way top. None of the major bag manufacturers (Titleist, Sun Mountain, Ping, etc) make this type top club divider. Works much better for me than any other top club divider.

I would rock this golf bag for sure. Love being different and standing out. Look good, feel good, play good 😎

No, being a senior golfer this bag is not for me. I am not particularly fond of the style and coloration although I am sure it will appeal to lots of folks.

I love this bag. I think vice is doing really cool asthetically please products. I think a bag by vice is gonna be my next golf purchase.

What’s the weight? That’s one of the most important specs when talking about a carry bag.

I like the looks of this golf bag, and would very likely consider it if I ever need a replacement for either of the two carry/stand bags that are in my “rotation” right now (a Stitch SL2 and a Snell-logo’d Sun Mountain C130 stand bag – both in red/white/blue (I use the Snell/Sun Mountain bag for golf trips because the Stitch bag is just too much of a “minimalist” bag).

Before even reading Harry’s comments, I was thinking two things about this bag that I didn’t very much like: the bottle pockets and access (via zippers) to the long side pockets. I am in agreement with Harry’s assessment of both of these features; they could certainly stand improvement! Almost nothing is worse than having skimpy zippers that make it hard to get to your rain gear or a new glove, towel, etc., so those side zippers definitely need to be longer. As for the water bottle pockets. it sure would be nice in they were insulated and enclosed more of the bottle.

Other than those two “niggles”, this is a decent-looking carry/stand bag with a decent feature set. If the price is reasonable (not something like $369 -$399), I would certainly consider it.

There’s nothing special about this bag, other than a cool color scheme. Saw it recently at the club. Doesn’t feel like it carries well, feels heavier than the listed weight, and the strap system is uncomfortable. I’m a walker, so not for me. Pockets are good, lots of room. Better designs avail. from other mfrs (MNML, Stitch, Vessel)

Wouldn’t buy it. too small, lacks pockets, color is too flashy and feminine.

I like it, but I am a cart bag guy.

love the design and super colors. If I don’t win my match, at least I will look great losing.

Looks a nice bag but white . No thanks another colour would be lots better

I probably would not buy this bag. It looks like someone splashed paint all over it and neon green is not a color that goes well on the golf course. I also prefer to have the individual club dividers (as in my PING bag), and I like a separate putter well. Maybe it is a good bag but it wouldn’t make my Top 5 or 10 most likely just looking at it and reading about it. The top of the stand looks a bit cheap to me (could be the photo though), and I didn’t see anything about how heavy it is. I would pass but, the golf balls I don’t pass on!!

I would use the Vice golf bag.

Hi Harry, looks like a decent bag with a lot of features.. If I ever carried a bag it would do the job, but even though I walk most of the time I use a push cart. So my bags have always been cart bags. Keep up the great work! Love the reviews.

Some good features but ugly.. What’s with the “ink spots?” May be attractive to those who wear their shirts outside and their hats backwards.

No way

Nope. Colors are weird and it seems expensive to me.

Nice looking bag seems to have enough room for all your needs

Hi,
really cool bag, looks nice and seems to perform well enough 🙂
Can absolutely see my self with this one, anyday.

Use a Ping Hoofer Lite today.

// Per

Sounds like it borrowed some aspects from Vessel Stand Bags in a less expensive, lighter material. That would be a compliment as I think Vessel makes excellent – if expensive – quality bags. As far as colors go, OGIO, Vessel & many other brands are making color patterns appealing to a younger , trendier golfer. Vice may just be the most trendy. Branding can go too far but sounds like overall, this bag “could be a contender.”

I would buy this bag just for the magnetic range finder pock5

I like it but I don’t really find it a must have. I will always lean heavily to the Ping line of bags.

Yes love this bag any bag that differs from the standard block colours get my vote every time. Recently purchased one of this years funky Ogio cart bags

Looks like a well thought out bag. I would use it.

They got a lot of things right with this bag. I particularly like the magnetic range finder pocket and the 6 way club divider top. Looks great for carrying although the weight was not mentioned. The only deal breaker for me (and a potential improvement) is the top grab handle. It needs to slant downward, out of the way, so a 34” putter will sit nicely in that first opening when using the bag on a riding cart or trolley.

Well at least you should be able to find it out on the course of it gets dark ….. but it looks ok as long as it holds everything & keeps it all safe & the prise isn’t too insane then yep it’s a good bag

Outside of the fluorescent green, looks like a great bag with lots of features others for the same price don’t have. Definitely would purchase!

For $280 I’ll stay with my Ping hoofer or Ogio stand bags.

Does Pearl Golf make this bag like other Vice bags ? If so I’ve found my Pearl bag to be very reliable.

Sure would. Looks great!

Looks sharp. I used it in a heartbeat

Oh Hell Yeah!!! Been using Vice balls for years, and have one of the first stand bags they released. This would work great with the drip balls and shoes I got….
