Anyone have a ping cart bag? I'm starting to consider the pioneer or equinox... The pioneer looks very stylish, but i've heard getting a cart strap around it is tough because its got to get around the external putter well. The equinox has more full length dividers and has a slightly larger top (without the putter well), but isn't as stylish a design in my opinion with more limited color options.
Just wondering people's experience with these bags. I had a ping stand bag before that was excellent quality (except for a stand mechanism which constantly sagged and irritated me enough to sell it), and I'm wondering if a ping cart bag is the way to go.
Also, I noticed from pictures that neither has a strap at the bottom of the bag... I'm used to having a bottom strap to help lift/maneuver the bag... for those that have a ping bag can you confirm that their isn't a strap and is this a big issue in everyday use?

I have the explore and like it very much. Staff bag style only a little smaller, the insulated pocket makes a great protective pocket for your range finder. I cannot wait until this fall, PING is supposed to release a staff bag with multi-material construction kind of like Cally, not as big as the 9.5 consumer and a bit more stylish.

I have last years Pioneer bag (called the Discover). It fits well on a Sun Mountain speed cart and riding cart. I'm able to work the strap behind the putter well making the bag secure without affecting the putter well when I ride. The bag holds a ton of stuff too...

I'm seeing the Discover available now for cheaper now that the Pioneer is out. I think it could be between these two as long as getting the strap around the putter well isn't an issue.
Does your Discover have a strap at the bottom, and does it matter for you when using it?

I have the Pioneer and love the bag. As for the cart strap, you simply slide it in between the putter well tube and the bag -- it is set at just that height. The pockets are roomy and functional. I do which it had a 14 way, to the bottom divider system but I don't have a problem with shaft tangle. The eyeglass pocket and water proof cell phone/valuable pockets are also functional. Well built, too.

Ditto on Oldnavycdr, I just got my Pioneer and love it. No problem putting the cart strap around the bag as the strap goes between the bag and the putter. It also fits fine on my BagBoy LX cart. Nice well made bag. Looks good too, which does not hurt.

Does no one use the SF6 Cart Bag?
