Ogio Grom II

Summary:
I have to say that Ogio Grom look, feel and design like Bently but with reliablity of a GM. If you are a potential buyer, please be aware, and if you're a current owner, I advice u to take closer look at joint where the connection is made between the legs and metal rods(running down along the belly side of the bag) that are part of the retracting and deploying mechanism. When u rest your bag in the trunk or any other surface(with legs retracted), these joint are the pressure points and main contacts to the surface, and the plastic cover that surround this joint which protects the washer in between are easily cracked, and thus hinder the retracting mechanism. I am glad that i caught it early and return for refund within allowable days. You'll have better understanding of how this potential problem could have happened to a typical stand bag just by taking a closer look at Callaway's newest design on FT stand bag, and how they address this issue by implementing a huge rubber piece protecting the joint.

ogio grom

Summary:
i have used this bag for about a year and a half , and i would never buy a bag from this company again. about a year after i bought it the seam on one of the side pockets started to become unstitched. i first brought it to the retailer i got it from(dick`s sporting goods) and they wanted nothing to do with it. they referred me to ogio, who said they could not do anything because it was over a year old. this is one of the most expensive bags on the market and ogio thinks it`s only good for a year of use. since then 2 zippers have broke on it. i will never waste my money on an ogio product again.

Ogio Grom II

Summary:
After comparing the Grom, Taylor Made Tour, Nike Extreme, I bought the Grom II. Love the Woode Club System, especially while on the range. Its like having the clubs handed to you. I primarily pull cart, and don't carry, and wanted a Cart size bag, with a stand for the driving range. If thats sounds like you, this is the bag

Grom II

Summary:
I purchased the Ogio Grom II at the beginning of the year based on reviews and word of mouth. While it is a very nice bag, there are also some problems that I have had with my bag that you may or may not eventually have with yours.

PROS:

-TORQ strap. (Esepecially if you ride)
-Ball silo outside of the bag.
-Tee holder outside of the bag.
-Zipperless Ball pocket.
-Insulated water bottle holder.
-Scorecard holder with pencil holder.
-Individual putter well.
-Woode management system is functional.
-Plenty of storage room/Pockets.
-Cell phone holder. (difficult to get to)

CONS:

-Straps are comfortable but clumsy at
times when time to walk.
-Very difficult to sit this bag on a pull
cart, as the stand mechanism at the base
is so odd, that it slides right off the
pull cart.
-To get the legs to be stable during a
round, you must "stuff" them in the
elastic black band than can be a pain.
-To adjust the tension of the legs, their
is a black "H" mechanism that is very
difficult to adjust.
-Bag is heavier than others in this
category.
-The Woode management system is nice but
the irons also clutter up when walking.
-Legs have trouble extending and folding
back up when at rest.

There are plenty of very nice things about this bag and there are some that are not so great when you have to put them to use.
If I were to purchase another bag, I would probably pass on this one and opt for a Sun Mountain, Hoofer, or Aerolite bag. Those bags might not have all of the bells and whistles, but are very functional to say the very least.

Who knows... maybe I just got a bad one?

Customer Service:
I had to call them regarding the legs, and they are located in Utah. I was not able to talk to a person at first, and had to leave a message with a CS person on there answering machine. I was however called back and was told about the black "H" clip which is located on the legs to loosen or tighten the tension when having problems with the legs. It would have been nice to talk to someone the day that I called instead of playing phone tag, with me having to call her at a specific time during the day.

Ogio CS is functional at best, but not very convenient by a long shot.

Ogio Grom

Summary:
This bag is as good looking as they come.. with very cool unique features. its zipperless ball pouch.. is awesome to get balls out of, very easy to use, and works well. torque strap is awesome.. woode system is awesome.. its not that heavy for walkers which is awesome...

the direction the top little zipper club cover thing faces is not awesome.. i would have liked it to zip up and down from the other side but.. its not a big deal..

Customer Service:
havent had to use them...
