I was in need of an advanced stand bag for a good price. By "advanced", I wanted a bag with sophisicated technology, 14 way full-length individual dividers, cooler pocket and other multiple pockets. I had one problem however. When I found them, most of them were either 1.has everything I need but heavy 2.too pricey.
but then....

Price:
I found the Nike ProCombo tour stand bag for only $109 shipped. Realized, this bag is virtually identical to the new Nike SasQuatch stand bags but cheaper. It had all the features that high-end bags come with for the price of a cheap bag.

Design:
Great design. Terra Cotta color is more of a red-ish orange. If you are looking for a deep red or pure red color bag, do NOT buy terra cotta color. Materials used is definitely more luxurious than its cheaper siblings. I love the feel of the plastic handle. Not comfortable as a strap, but looks better and can be more stable to hold the bag steady. It has the "fatter" bag look(tour) compared to skinner nike bags. This is a + for me as it adds that professional or "im serious about golf" look. The angle it stands is perfect. It *might be a little low for tall people. Im 5"8 and I find it perfect. Anyone taller than 6"4 might think this bag is for a midget however.

Functionality:
The 14-way full length dividers are definitely great. club management is easier and it looks better too when standing. This bag can be used as a cart bag or a stand bag. Its base is stable(wide) and long enough to stand on its own. Don't get me wrong, its not too big to fit in your personal push/pull cart. Perfect for a guy like me who occasionally enjoys walking but also ride/use motor carts or pull carts. Pockets are VERY functional. So many pockets, its almost confusing to use. I could always use them all though. QuickAccess ball pocket is a nice touch. At first, it seems like getting the ball out of it is pretty tough, but once worn out a little and get used to, its very useful. Tee holder is a very nice touch too. same with the little knob for your golf towel.

Durability:
I only had them for couple days now so I wouldn't make any judgements yet. So far, it seems everything looks good. The stand is firm and stable(many previous nike models were notorious for having weak stands). One complaint, the paint on the plastic handle is not too strong. I already scratched it because I accidently hit something with it. but what do you expect if you hit a painted plastic handle with a golf club trying to downswing at home. doh.

Weight: At 5.5pds(personally measured @ 5.3pds at home using electronic scale), this bag is lightweight. Considering all the featuers and full length dividers it comes with, it is actually very light. Thought somehow, "carrying weight" feels a little heavier than similar-weight nike bags out there. It must be the weight distribution of the bag when carrying or just me tripping out.

Conclusion: One of the best bag out there for the money.

5.5 lbs is pretty heavy.


Granted it sounds like you cart a bunch so it'll work.
But I carry pretty much all the time, and 3.5lbs is as heavy as I like to go.

Sounds like a great bag with a VERY GREAT price.

Agree with everything said...

My handle is scratched also from rolling around on the many plane rides it goes on.

Comfy to carry. and I figured "whats 2 pounds" just carry one less water bottle and Ill refill on the course.

I have 2 (SQs), and both have been faultless (has a zipper brake on my original, but replaced no Qs asked)

And bought a Pro Combo for my brother.

Easily the best $$$ to bang ratio!

Oh yeah, I think I remember you. I searched this forum before I bought procombo back and someone wrote a quick positive post regarding Procombo/SasQuatch and how his brother uses the Procombo. Your post helped me decide whether I should get it or not. haha
