“I love the look of the bag, the pockets and function. I find the strap system a bit difficult to get comfortable and also find that the clubs get tangled. I also only carry 12 clubs with standard size grips. Single strap is great to use and the bag is lightweight as advertised.”
“Not all hats fit everyone the same. I didn’t like the way this one sat on my head. Seemed like the bottom edge was too thick and no amount of folding the bill could help. Lesson learned about buying on line and not being able to get it on first. Maybe my sister will appreciate it.”
“It’s a nice bag but there are some big changes that should be made for an almost $300 bag.
The dividers in the bag aren’t great. Makes pulling clubs in and out kind of a pain if you plan on carrying 14 clubs. Can’t even imagine what it would be like with any grips larger than standard.
Second, the pocket ergonomics are kind of a mess. Specifically the pocket that runs around the cooler pocket seems like an after thought to say the bag has more pocket space.
Third, the double strap system is just not ideal. Sure you can make it work, but there are much better strap systems out there for carry bags.
Aside from all of that, the bag is good looking. I love the fact that it doesn’t have big branding on the side like most bags. I love the 2 pockets for personal items. The rain cover is nice. The customizable zipper pulls are nice. The stand mechanism seems a bit flimsy, but I haven’t had any issues with it yet.
Maybe I’m just being harsh, but if I’m buying a bag close to $300, I’d expect these things to not be an issue.”
“There are a LOT of pros to the Jones Trooper 3.0 stand bag purchased several weeks ago. Unfortunately, it's the cons that lead me to writing this review. While I am not a fan of the independent bag staps, I can adjust and work with them. The biggest issue is the balance point of the bag, in general. It is far too "top heavy," creating an imbalance, particularly when grabbing the bag from the twisted handle. On several occassions, the clubs nearly fell out of the bag, altogether, which is a real problem - one that may lead me to ditch this bag after 2 weeks of use. Unforutnate, as I am a fan of the design and aesthetics of these Jones bags.”
“Awesome customer service, speedy response but overall a little disappointed with the quality. Coming from an outgrown Taylormade bag I bought a new jones bag and within 8 weeks or so the strap started to tear and I reported it and like I said great customer service and was replaced but the replacement not easy to swap out and has no branding on the strap like the original that I loved.”
“Live my jones sports gift bag, however a little disappointed with the hat. I bought a SnapBack hat 2 years ago and fits perfect. Ordered a new SnapBack hat and it is so big it barely fits. Certainly your hat size has changed, and unfortunately won’t be ordering any more as they are too big.”
“I just purchased a bag strap because the original one (that I have used a little over a year) was leaving a light black stain on my right shoulder. I first thought it was dirty, but washed the strap and it continued to happen. I basically ruined about five golf shirts (I should have quit earlier). The new strap is here and fine. I play a lot of golf, and carry all the time so i would guess I played 100-130 rounds with that strap before this started happening. I love the bag, probably my favorite in 50+ years of golf bags, but was really disappointed with the strap problem. (I will hit submit as Cheryl Byrd, but this is Rick, her husband) My email is rick.byrd@belmont.edu I am sending a photo (after washing the shirt).”
“It's ok. Some of the pockets don't make sense and the carrying straps are definitely worse then a Ping hoofer and the trouper 2.0. Wouldn't buy again”
“I really wish there was 7 compartments and a handle at the top opening to grab the bag. It’s beautiful And well constructed, but 3 compartments is not a good setup. Maybe if the compartments went all the way down it would be okay, but I would not get a 3 compartment bag again.”
“I purchased a carry bag and a hat. The hat came with a small stitching defect but customer service was quick, polite, and helpful in fixing the error for that alone I’d go 5 stars. However I did use the defective hat and after one use it was bleached by the sun and has a permanent water mark from sweat ? Even after using several home remedies and professional cleaning products the mark is still present. Worried to use the new hat in warm weather.”
“Like the bag and the color and simplicity. Shoulder straps are a bit overdone and the arm stands often make noise (hitting against the bag while carrying. Not sure if it’s a one off but it is a non no in my book.”
“I have used the same Jones stand bag for the past 20 years. I'm not a frequent golfer, maybe 10 rounds/year. But that bag held up and served me well.
Last time out, I lost one of the legs to the stand bag and to my surprise, a replacement was not available.
So I attempted to order a new stand bag. It was the Trouper. I was not impressed with the quality nor the design so I returned it.
I am hoping to find something similar or I may just go out and find an aluminum tube to serve as my replacement leg. I really love the Jones stand bag from 20 years ago. Not so impressed with the Jones Trouper bag of today.”
