Overview of the PING Hoofer Lite Stand Bag
Straps and Carrying
The shoulder straps are padded and the bag has a cushioned hip pad. The straps can be set up in several ways.
Legs
Rather than a small plastic foot that triggers the legs, PING describes a design where the base of the bag acts as the trigger: the legs kick out when the bag is set down and leaned forward, using the weight of the bag. This avoids a separate lever that could be damaged.
Top
The 4-way top has two middle sections that are full-length, separated compartments, intended to hold all 14 clubs.
Style
The bag is offered in several color combinations, with design lines on the side pocket and PING branding on the legs.
Features
The Hoofer Lite has seven pockets. It does not have a cart strap pass-through or an integrated rain hood.
Smaller features include:
- Key hook
- Long integrated umbrella sleeve
- Grip-texture material on the marker slot
