Summary:
What can i say about this bag except brilliant.I have owned several ping bags over the years & beleive they are the best money can buy.If you are a golfer who likes to keep things simple this is for you.I have managed to get a college version from tennessee usa of the ping mantis which is rare as this bag is no longer made shame.I found mine on ebay recently so they come up time to time and a must for any ping fan.

Ping Mantis Golf Bag

Summary:
Love the bag. Perfect for carrying a full set of clubs, balls, tees, etc. Wish they were still in production. Only thing troublesome at times is the stand. Could use a little work, but still a great bag.

Ping Mantis

Summary:
I love this bag. Holds a full set of clubs and enough extra stuff. Only complaint is the way it rides on my back when I use both straps. Solution? Don't use both straps. Light bag - No problem.

Ping Mantis Stand Bag

Summary:
Great little bag. Used to carry Datrek, also good bag but a lot heavier. The problem with most lightweight carry bags is that they have a lot of pocket space...and that pocket space typically gets filled with clothes..too many balls...too many water bottles...too much food..believe me I know. You can get by with a lot less than you think. Envitiably your carrying around a 15-25lbs bag..oops. Not only is the mantis A LOT LIGHTER to begin with but it forces you back into reality with how much crap you need to play a round of golf. With Two Small side pockets you can fit a frozen water bottle, a clean towel, balls and tees. In the underside pocket you could fit a sweater if you really wanted to and thats it! For those of you who feel a rain cover is necessary, try a small plastic bag... it weighs less that 10 grams and does a great job. Thanks to this bag I can walk any course again and my back feels great after every round.

Reviewed by: john ,  Shoot in the 70s , from decatur

Summary:
A good light bag for the walking golfer, but the legs cut across your back while carrying the bag. I wrapped the left leg with foam rubber to make it bearable, but a poor design job on location of the folded legs.

I find the izzo delight and whisper both good choices for carry bag.
