There are now five distinct versions, so the right pick depends on how you play.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 15px 0;\">Prices range from \u00a3169 for the ultra-light Hoofer Lite up to \u00a3249 for the premium Hoofer Tour, with a waterproof Monsoon, a 14-way organiser version and the much-loved standard Hoofer in between. Every model uses the same proven stand action, padded straps and durable construction that Ping has refined for years.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Stunning New Lightweight Golf Bag - Ping Hoofer 14 Golf Bag\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yhdTBMOJVVk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 15px 0 0 0;\">All five bags are covered by our 60-Day Returns Policy and backed by guidance from PGA professional Mark Crossfield and the team.

Walk a busy course on a Saturday morning, and you will spot one on almost every other shoulder. That kind of presence does not happen by accident.<\/p>\n<p>The reason is simple. Ping nails the basics. The bag is light. The straps sit nicely. The stand pops out easily and stays steady. The pockets are placed where you actually want them. Add tough materials and a smart, balanced shape, and you have a carry bag that golfers come back to year after year.<\/p>\n<p>What is new is the choice. Ping has expanded the Hoofer family into five distinct models, each tuned for a slightly different golfer. There is a standard version, a lighter version, a 14-way organiser version, a fully waterproof version and a tour-styled premium version. They share the same hoofer DNA, but the small differences matter.<\/p>\n<p>Mark Crossfield put it best in his review of the range: <em>&#8220;I have never seen so many bags within one bag brand. It is impressive, and you can see why this bag has been a stable diet for people who like to carry their bags for years.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This guide walks you through every current Ping Hoofer model.

It packs a full 14-way divided top into a stand bag body, so every club gets its own slot. If you have ever pulled a wedge and brought the lob wedge with it, you know the appeal.<\/p>\n<p>This is the bag for the organised player. Mark describes it well: <em>&#8220;Unique in the fact that it is a carry bag, but you have got a 14-way divided top, with all the classic Ping Hoofer design elements at the same time.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>You also get 17 pockets, which is the highest count in the entire range. There is space for everything: rangefinder, valuables, two waterproofs, a spare glove, balls, tees, and snacks. The trade-off is that it sits a touch larger than the standard Hoofer, but the carry weight stays in the same ballpark thanks to clever construction.

Several design elements come together to create that distinctive feel. Here is what is working beneath the surface.<\/h3>\n<div style=\"background: white; border: 2px solid #e0e0e0; border-radius: 8px; padding: 20px; margin: 15px 0;\">\n<h4 style=\"color: #398100; margin-top: 0;\">Spring-Out Stand System<\/h4>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\">The mechanism Ping has refined for years. Set the bag down, and the stand pops out smoothly. Lift it, and it tucks neatly back. The legs are kept slim so they do not catch on the bag pockets, and the base spreads wide for stability on uneven lies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"background: white; border: 2px solid #e0e0e0; border-radius: 8px; padding: 20px; margin: 15px 0;\">\n<h4 style=\"color: #398100; margin-top: 0;\">Padded Convertible Strap System<\/h4>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\">The straps are wide, generously padded and connected by a back-puck design that lets you flip between single-strap (over one shoulder) and double-strap (across the back) carry without unclipping. Mark singles this out as one of the bag&#8217;s standout features for long walks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"background: white; border: 2px solid #e0e0e0; border-radius: 8px; padding: 20px; margin: 15px 0;\">\n<h4 style=\"color: #398100; margin-top: 0;\">Multi-Way Top Dividers<\/h4>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\">The number of dividers changes the feel of the bag. The 4-way (Standard and Lite) keeps things light. The 5-way (Monsoon and Tour) adds a touch more separation. The 14-way (Hoofer 14) gives every club its own slot, mimicking a cart-bag layout in a stand-bag body.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"background: white; border: 2px solid #e0e0e0; border-radius: 8px; padding: 20px; margin: 15px 0;\">\n<h4 style=\"color: #398100; margin-top: 0;\">Seam-Sealed Waterproof Construction (Monsoon only)<\/h4>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\">The Monsoon uses a 200D x 400D polyester with a polyurethane resin coating, plus seam-sealed pockets. The fabric repels water on impact, and the seams stop drips from creeping in around zips. A zippered rain-hood pocket means the cover is always close to hand.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"background: white; border: 2px solid #e0e0e0; border-radius: 8px; padding: 20px; margin: 15px 0;\">\n<h4 style=\"color: #398100; margin-top: 0;\">Magnetic Pockets (Tour only)<\/h4>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\">The Hoofer Tour adds magnetic closures to its rangefinder and water bottle pockets. There is no zip to fight with. Open the flap, grab the device, drop it back. A small detail, a big real-world benefit during a busy round.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"background: white; border: 2px solid #e0e0e0; border-radius: 8px; padding: 20px; margin: 15px 0;\">\n<h4 style=\"color: #398100; margin-top: 0;\">Cart-Strap Channel<\/h4>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\">Several Hoofer models include a channel down the back so a trolley strap can secure the bag without covering pockets. If you switch between carrying and using a trolley, this detail keeps the bag practical for both.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"buying-guide\" style=\"color: #398100; font-size: 2em; border-bottom: 3px solid #398100; padding-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 50px;\">Ping Hoofer Buying Guide<\/h2>\n<p>Five bags can feel like a lot.

Across a typical four-season life, the per-round cost is minimal. The five different versions also mean you can match the bag to how you actually play, which adds real value.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h4 style=\"color: #398100;\">What is the difference between the Ping Hoofer and the Hoofer Lite?<\/h4>\n<div style=\"background: #f0f7ff; border-left: 5px solid #398100; padding: 20px; margin: 25px 0; border-radius: 5px;\">\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"><strong>Weight and pocket count.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\">The standard Hoofer weighs around 5.5 lbs and has 16 pockets. The Lite weighs around 5 lbs and has nine pockets. If you want maximum storage, choose the standard. If you want minimum carry weight, the Lite is the better fit. Both share the same straps, stand action and 4-way top.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h4 style=\"color: #398100;\">Is the Ping Hoofer Monsoon fully waterproof?<\/h4>\n<div style=\"background: #f0f7ff; border-left: 5px solid #398100; padding: 20px; margin: 25px 0; border-radius: 5px;\">\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"><strong>It is built for wet weather and uses water-repellent fabric with seam-sealed pockets.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\">In normal UK rain showers, it performs very well, keeping gear dry inside the sealed pockets. As with any stand bag, prolonged submersion or torrential downpours over many hours can challenge any design, so having the included rain hood close to hand is sensible. For most British conditions, it is excellent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h4 style=\"color: #398100;\">Can I use the Ping Hoofer on a golf trolley?<\/h4>\n<div style=\"background: #f0f7ff; border-left: 5px solid #398100; padding: 20px; margin: 25px 0; border-radius: 5px;\">\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"><strong>Yes, all Hoofer models will sit on a trolley.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\">The Monsoon and Tour include a dedicated cart-strap channel that keeps pockets accessible when strapped down, which is ideal if you regularly switch between carrying and trolley use. If you mostly use a trolley, you may also want to consider a dedicated cart bag from our wider <a style=\"color: #398100; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thegolfshoponline.co.uk\/ping\/bags\/\">Ping bag range<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h4 style=\"color: #398100;\">Do all Ping Hoofer bags fit a 14-club set?<\/h4>\n<div style=\"background: #f0f7ff; border-left: 5px solid #398100; padding: 20px; margin: 25px 0; border-radius: 5px;\">\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"><strong>Yes. Every Hoofer accommodates a full 14-club set.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\">The difference is in how the clubs are arranged inside. The 4-way top (Standard, Lite) and 5-way top (Monsoon, Tour) group your clubs sensibly. The Hoofer 14 has a slot for every club individually, which prevents grips from tangling and makes finding the right club faster.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h4 style=\"color: #398100;\">Which Ping Hoofer does Mark Crossfield recommend?<\/h4>\n<div style=\"background: #f0f7ff; border-left: 5px solid #398100; padding: 20px; margin: 25px 0; border-radius: 5px;\">\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"><strong>Mark has stated his personal pick from the range.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\">In his video review, Mark says: <em>&#8220;Which one would you go for and why?

As ever, the right bag depends on your game, so Mark and the team are happy to help you decide.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h4 style=\"color: #398100;\">How long should a Ping Hoofer last?<\/h4>\n<div style=\"background: #f0f7ff; border-left: 5px solid #398100; padding: 20px; margin: 25px 0; border-radius: 5px;\">\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"><strong>Typically four to six seasons of regular use, often longer.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\">The polyester construction is hard-wearing, the stand mechanism is well-proven, and the strap padding holds up well. As with any bag, storing it dry between rounds and avoiding leaving it in the boot of a hot car will help it last even longer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"why-buy\" style=\"color: #398100; font-size: 2em; border-bottom: 3px solid #398100; padding-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 50px;\">Why Purchase Your Ping Hoofer from The Golf Shop Online?<\/h2>\n<div style=\"background: #f8f9fa; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; margin: 25px 0; text-align: center;\">\n<h4 style=\"color: #398100; margin-top: 0;\">Award-Winning Service Since 2002<\/h4>\n<div id=\"gso-widget-69de5e32f3ab6\" class=\"gso-widget-outer\">Loading widget...<\/div><script>loadGSOwidget(385, 'gso-widget-69de5e32f3ab6');<\/script>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; margin-top: 10px;\"><strong>Average Rating: 4.9 out of 5.0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 15px;\"><strong>29,000+ Total Reviews<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 5px;\">8,000+ on Reviews.co.uk \u2022 6,000+ on Trustpilot \u2022 15,000+ on Google<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 15px;\">Led by PGA professional <strong>Mark Crossfield<\/strong>, with over 330 million YouTube views<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: grid; grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(250px, 1fr)); gap: 15px; margin: 25px 0;\">\n<div style=\"background: white; border: 2px solid #e0e0e0; border-radius: 8px; padding: 20px;\">\n<h4 style=\"color: #398100; margin-top: 0;\">60-Day Returns Policy<\/h4>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\">If you are unhappy with any product, you may return it, unused, unopened and in its original packaging, within 60 days for a full refund.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"background: white; border: 2px solid #e0e0e0; border-radius: 8px; padding: 20px;\">\n<h4 style=\"color: #398100; margin-top: 0;\">Authorised Ping Retailer<\/h4>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\">We are an authorised Ping retailer, supplying genuine bags with a full manufacturer&#8217;s warranty for total peace of mind.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"background: white; border: 2px solid #e0e0e0; border-radius: 8px; padding: 20px;\">\n<h4 style=\"color: #398100; margin-top: 0;\">Expert PGA Guidance<\/h4>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Four PGA professionals on our team, led by Mark Crossfield, are on hand to help you choose the right Hoofer for your golf.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"background: white; border: 2px solid #e0e0e0; border-radius: 8px; padding: 20px;\">\n<h4 style=\"color: #398100; margin-top: 0;\">Free UK Standard Delivery<\/h4>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Every order over \u00a330 from The Golf Shop Online comes with free standard UK delivery, no hidden charges at checkout.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"background: white; border: 2px solid #e0e0e0; border-radius: 8px; padding: 20px;\">\n<h4 style=\"color: #398100; margin-top: 0;\">Lowest Price Promise<\/h4>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Our Lowest Price Promise means you can buy with confidence, knowing you are getting competitive pricing on every Ping Hoofer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"background: white; border: 2px solid #e0e0e0; border-radius: 8px; padding: 20px;\">\n<h4 style=\"color: #398100; margin-top: 0;\">Real Golfers, Real Reviews<\/h4>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\">29,000+ verified reviews across Reviews.co.uk, Trustpilot and Google.

Whether you want the lightest possible bag, the most organised top, the best wet-weather performance or the most premium feature set, there is a Hoofer for you. The shared Hoofer DNA means you cannot really go wrong, but the small differences make a big day-to-day difference.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"color: #398100;\">Ping Hoofer Standard (\u00a3179)<\/h4>\n<p>The all-rounder. The bag most golfers picture when they think of Ping Hoofer. Choose this if you want one bag that does everything well, with the most pocket storage in the family.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"color: #398100;\">Ping Hoofer Lite (\u00a3169)<\/h4>\n<p>The lightest pick. Strip back what you do not need and let your shoulders thank you. Mark&#8217;s personal favourite from the range, and the lowest price.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"color: #398100;\">Ping Hoofer 14 (\u00a3209)<\/h4>\n<p>Carry-bag comfort with cart-bag organisation. The most pockets in the range and a slot for every club. Brilliant for the organised golfer.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"color: #398100;\">Ping Hoofer Monsoon (\u00a3229)<\/h4>\n<p>The weatherproof option. Seam-sealed pockets, water-repellent fabric and a rain-hood pocket built in. Made for UK winters.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"color: #398100;\">Ping Hoofer Tour (\u00a3249)<\/h4>\n<p>The premium pick. Magnetic pockets, tour-inspired styling and the most refined feature set Ping puts in a stand bag. The choice if features and finish matter most.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #398100; font-size: 1.5em; margin-top: 30px;\">The Bottom Line<\/h3>\n<p>The Hoofer&#8217;s enduring popularity is no accident. Ping has spent years refining a stand bag that simply works, and the current line-up is the broadest and most carefully tuned version of that idea so far.
