When I ordered the Pro version of this bag, I already had three other golf bags, including a very nice Stitch bag. Since receiving it, I haven’t touched the other bags even once. The Vessel Players IV Pro DXR is simply phenomenal. It’s become my favorite golf bag by a long shot. For anyone wondering, the Pro 14-way DXR accommodates midsize grips no problem.
Appreciate the full review. Heard so much about Vessel golf bags but just couldn't afford one at the moment. They're quality and style is unmatched IMHO and pockets galore which I love especially the magnetic rangefinder pocket with velour lining. Also the internal base divider reducing club jam is a big plus. Thank you for the giveaway opportunity 🤞😎🤞 This would be so amazing to use on the course if I'm lucky enough 🔥🔥🔥
Nice review!! Vessel makes such a great bag!! I have a Vessel / Cobra RAD stand bag and I love. So nice I only use it when I play a nicer course with caddies.
Caddies hate walking up to a group and seeing a Vessel bag that’s not one of the smaller ones. Seen fights over caddies trying not to get the Vessel. Fuckers are heavy….
Nice review - those clubs are really sticking out per the previous comments about the bag being short. How do you carry that bag on the course without the clubs falling out?
Great review! Only issue I’ve ever had with vessel bags, is that they’re short, and iron shafts always stick way out. Wish they would make the bags a bit longer so the irons just rest up against the top, and don’t clank around so much Also, not a huge fan of the new chrome logos above the handle, but that’s just my own personal preference…other than that, they’re great bags!
This drives me nuts too. I can't think of a reason why manufacturers wouldn't make bags taller besides for minimal weight savings. Heres to hoping any future vessel releases get a little bit taller
hey thanks for the great review there aren't maybe reviews of these on here. I've been trying to choose which to buy between the dxr pro or the player 4 pro. I never carry tbh but like the benefit of the stand while waiting for my buggy in summer and will be using an electric trolley in winter so either will work but maybe the more durable dxr is the winner although I love the navy player 4 pro it's very classy looking. I noticed you don't have the pro version in either is there a reason why?
Great questions. I don’t feel the need for the extra space and my grips fit fine in the standard. Either bag will do great- but the DXR is a bit tougher material. Thanks.
I'm in Ireland and the dxr pro is only available in 6 way top and my last 2 bags have been 14 so this is swaying me towards the standard pro as I need the extra space and like the velvet top
How do you adjust the straps? I don’t see where the slider works to lengthen/shorten the straps. Also, can you remove a strap to make single strap? I have this bag and don’t think the clips come out from the “V” circle on the straps to make single strap. Lastly, does it feel too heavy to carry?
Straps are adjustable- super easy to adjust while even walking. I think it’s the best Vessel bag to walk with that has all the bells and whistles. Maybe I’ll do a video on the best way to adjust the straps. Thanks for the comment!!
@@modrngolf hmm I play 14 clubs and currently have the ping hoofer lite, clubs fit fine however pulling them out is like pulling teeth. I carry 4 times a week and ping has had the best carry straps I’ve found. I’m assuming vessel is comparable, however they actually have solved the club snag issue which is big for me. I would go the route of the players 4 but I feel like it’s too bulky for carrying a ton? Or am I wrong ?
@@modrngolf I can see how the dxr would be the lighter most efficient scratch/stain resistant however I have beat up bags I can use for that case still. I want one bag that’s premium leather and high quality. I think vessel is the only option. Titleist has the link masters and taylormade I think has vessel Sunday option. I don’t personally want a golf brand on it.
Is the club divider system noticeably larger? Their website says it is a bigger divider on the pro dxr. Need it for midsize grips. The old one didn't take midsize grips well.
I purchased the Player IV DXR because of this review. Three months in and still love it.
Thank you. It’s a great bag.

Looking at the pro dxr 14 way for a while now. just won a tournament, may be time to get one.
That bag is the answer! Evrything looks quality. Definitely in the choices.
Thanks for the comment. We love this one.
I’m ordering this one now. I’ve seen all your videos. This might be the winner for me
It’s a great bag. I love the material. Maybe the best Vessel offers.
Thanks for the comment and viewing all my videos!!!
The strap technology looks unreal. Would love to rock that as I walk every round

Totally agree!

Magnetic range finder pocket is dope 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Great bag. Hopefully I can pick one up down the line. Or even better win it here!
Nice review - those clubs are really sticking out per the previous comments about the bag being short. How do you carry that bag on the course without the clubs falling out?
I’ve never had that issue. Ever. 200+ rounds and never even close to falling out. The bag is only 3/4” shorter than other brands.
Thanks for the response

I definitely like the rubber logos from the past. Thanks for the comment. Really appreciate it

@@markmakes8697 thanks for the comment.
Is this the pro model? I believe the pro is longer and wider at the top than the standard. Cheers 🍻
Have you tried the Jones trouper bag ? If so would like to hear your thoughts
Not yet. We’ve reached out but haven’t heard back. We’ll bug them again. Thanks!!
Appreciate you responding love the content also is this the pro or just the dxr?
@@marz5237 standard. The pro is a nice option as well.

Happy Birthday!!!!!! 40 is the new 20.

is it waterproof? or water resistant? Is the DXR material more water resistant or less, than the synthetic leather version?
Both are super was resistant. I haven’t really experienced a water issue with either- both have been great with downpours.
What other color would you recommend
Besides black?
The DXR only comes in black.
For walking why not use the vlx 2.0?
Too small for 14 clubs and gear for me.

I walk with the 14 players 4 weekly. It’s at a tad heavier but try the DXR - great materials and built like a tank and little to no grip tangle.

How’s it sit on a push cart
Incredibly well on the ones I’ve used.
@@modrngolf Which push cart do you recommend?
whats the difference between the players IV (DXR) and the players IV pro in DXR
Larger apparel pocket and extra side pocket on the left side. The top material is also different and a bit wider.
Thanks very much!
@@swb9984 anytime. Feel free to check out all of our reviews or www.modrngolf.com

My fav feature is the magnetic range finder pocket!! honey_golfs
Thanks. Good luck!!!!

Get the pro and you’ll be good.
