I already had one of these bags and bought this for my growing son because the first one was so good, The short folding legs cut down on weight and generally make handling, balancing and storing much easier. The new model has improved several aspects of the bag, including the drinks pouch and storage, and lost only one small pocket that I find useful in the previous incarnation. My original has been in regular use for 2 years now and the protection at the base (keeping grips dry when the bag is stood down on wet ground) is still intact and working well. It is massively lighter than any conventional carry bag I've ever owned and I carry 12 clubs without difficulty. I have found that carrying the full 14 is tight and involves difficulty in getting clubs in and out, but that's personal choice. I wholeheartedly recommend this bag.
