Hi everyone,
I’m considering switching from my Vessel Player Pro IV to a lighter Titleist stand bag for travel and walking rounds. I carry a full set of 14 clubs with midsize grips, so I’m looking for something that balances weight, comfort, and organization.
I’ve narrowed it down to the Players 4, Players 4 Carbon, and Players 5 models, and I’d love to hear your thoughts on:
• Weight and comfort for walking/travel
• Top layout and how well it handles midsize grips
• Storage differences (room for rain gear?)
• Durability and strap comfort
• Push cart compatibility — which bags stay stable on carts, and do any have cart strap tunnels?
• Any noticeable differences between the 2024 and 2025 versions — especially if the 2024 models are still available at a discount
Bonus points if you’ve traveled with any of these bags or taken them through long walking rounds. I’m looking for something light enough for travel but still functional enough to handle midsize grips and the full set. Appreciate any insights and comparisons you can share!
Thanks in advance!
