Our Experience
It goes without saying that the Vessel 2.0 Stand bag is one of the best looking golf bags I have ever seen. Seeing first-hand how flawless their custom embroidering is makes me even more impressed with the team at Vessel than I already was. The bag features 14 full length dividers and makes carrying up to even 20 clubs easy and damage proof.
Beyond the aesthetics of the bag, the functionality really is more expansive than I imagined. Everything has its own pocket, and everything is within arm’s reach while I’m carrying either on my back or on a single shoulder. The quality of the YKK zippers may seem trivial but it enhanced both convenience and durability in all of our tests. Golf is a sport that focuses more on the club you swing than the bag you carry but the Vessel Player 2.0 Stand is one of the most impressive products we tested in all of 2020 and that will likely not change anytime soon.
