Vessel Player IV Series Golf Bags – Key Takeaways

The new Vessel Player IV Series golf bags seem like a bit of a backward launch. We’ve already seen the Player IV DXR stand bag in MyGolfSpy’s 2023 Stand Bag Buyer’s Guide (it finished eighth). The new Vessel Player IV and Player IV Pro, however, are being released today.  And, as is typical of Vessel, Player IV packs plenty of features and plenty of options.

Just don’t expect it to be a “budget” golf bag.

“Two words serve as our inspiration: luxury performance,” says Vessel founder and CEO Ronnie Shaw. “Luxury speaks to the materials we use. It speaks to the sleek design and to the way we stitch the bag together. Performance speaks to our features and how each pocket is designed. We want to make insanely amazing products.”

Are the new Vessel Player IV golf bags “insanely amazing”? We’ll have to get our hands on some samples to really tell. But the early returns do sound promising.

Hideki Matsuyama withdrew from the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play before his tee time Friday, giving Max Homa the day off and a spot in the knockout stage.

Q: Best swing speed improvement products? – Portell3

A: There are so many good ones now and more hitting the market seemingly every week.

I love the Stack System but it’s probably the most expensive and that’s before you buy something to measure your swing speed (required). Our putter guy, Dave Wolfe, is seeing good results with the RypStick. Super Speed is the original (and it’s backed by plenty of success stories). Finally, for those who want to hit balls as part of the training, I’d suggest Clay Ballard’s Top Speed as an option.

This year, Callaway dropped the Paradym lineup which includes the Paradym and Paradym X irons.

The first fits into the “player’s distance” category. The X is for those looking at a game-improvement set.

In both, we’re getting an AI-designed Face Cup, urethane microspheres and a lot of tungsten. And just for fun, Callaway threw in something new: a forged 455 stainless steel face.

As iron testing continues in the MyGolfSpy Lab, it’s important that we hear from our loyal readers.
