WRX Spotlight: Stitch Golf SL2 Bag

Published

Feb 1, 2020

It wasn’t long ago that we reviewed the Stitch Golf SL2 Golf Bag here at GolfWRX and talked about both the pros and some of the cons of the new bag from the North Carolina company. Being smaller has allowed Stitch to be nimble in its design approach, and for 2020 Stitch has taken customer feedback seriously and improved the functionality of the already great bag.

What’s stayed the same…

The SL2 comes in right at four pounds
Well placed pockets hold enough gear for 18 holes or more
It’s almost completely water-resistant thanks to Stitch’s Touring Fabric. The Material is a proprietary product used in all their bags that has the strength of leather but is more durable & wear-resistant
Large, well-padded top easily holds 14 clubs and doesn’t “mush” your blade putter cover.
It comes with the option to use either single or double straps – both are included and it’s very easy to swap between the two thanks to well-placed pinch clips

The improvements

The pitch and width of the legs in the standing position have been adjusted to allow the SL2 to sit more stable when set down. The first version of the bag was a bit upright compared to others in the marketplace which isn’t really a big issue but if you are walking on a hilly course you always had to take an extra second to make sure you placed the bag in a stable orientation before walking away.

Since the SL2 is a bag designed with the walker in mind, one of the most requested upgrades was additional padding where the bag sits against the back. A lot of bags in the minimalist category have very little padding if any padding at all, but Stitch took customer feedback seriously and added a hip pad to keep you comfy.

This is where we start to get granular. The last two pieces of feedback for the original SL2 were that the Stitch logo on the apparel pocket was just too big and bold for some and the water bottle sleeve was a little awkward.

From a branding perspective, the large logo made sense and falls in line with almost every bag on the market but for those looking for a minimalist option having such a large logo took away from the styling.

The water bottle sleeve has been moved to the front of the ball pocket instead of behind to allow for greater access while walking and the ability to hold larger bottles, again not major tweaks but the devil is in the details.

As I said before, the best way to sum up the SL2 is to compare it to a sporty roadster: stylish, light, fun, fast, and functional. It doesn’t pretend to be anything that it’s not and holds the essentials—plus a couple of extras just in case.

In our forums, not everything is about club selection and shaft options. A heated debate has bubbled up surrounding the best sock options players can wear on the course.

@CletePurcel asked:

“Just bought 2 new pairs of FootJoy shoes and trying to find out the most favorable socks to wear. I try to walk 9 holes two to three times a week and good socks are a must. Thanks in advance.

Members in the forum chimed in with their favorite footwear accessories. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

Maroon_19: “I’ve only worn Kentwool socks for golf for the last 8 years – regardless of weather. I walk 90% of my rounds and play anywhere from 50-75 rounds a year (going to go up as I just retired). They only get worn for golf. As long as you care for them, they’ll care for you. Have had zero blisters with them. I just started using my second set of 8 pair for our Bandon trip earlier this month. The old ones will now go into the daily wear rotation. Still good after all these years.”
smoova: “I’ve had good luck with Swiftwick. Walk every round 12 months a year in Colorado.”
Hawkeye77: “FJ Pro ProDry is what I’m usually wearing just because I have more of them, but I’ve got some Smartwool socks I love for the wool aspect – they sell them as running socks. The thicker socks are better for certain shoes. I’ve gone merino/other wool in almost all my socks – athletic, “dress” and so forth – no more “Orlon”, lol, some golf socks are the exception.”
th6252: “Another vote for Kentwool, honorable mentions to Balega and Falke(thanks to someone on this forum for turning me onto the RU3).”
