Mystery Ranch bag

[Parks]

I guess the Mystery Ranch guy is now taking pre-orders for his bag, the Golf Mahal. The first production batch will be available in January, and I guess he immediately sold his current stock and some orders at USDGC to people that saw his bag.

The price is steep, but people seem to think its the end-all be-all of golf bags. The bag maker has been in business for 30+ years so its probably a safe bet to count on the lifetime warranty if needed, too.

For all the lazy people on here:

The bag will cost $285.
Pre-orders will begin shipping in February 2010.

I predict this thread will be funny.

$285, huh? That is steep, but not unreasonable for the amount of material and engineering going into that, similar to quality hiking packs. I'd bet that suspension system accounts for at least 1/3 the cost of the bag. That being said, I'm still a little dubious of the weight distribution, it really seems to be pulling down and away in the pics. I do applaud the dude for setting out to design a hardcore bag made for all sorts of elements though.

For anyone that missed the earlier discussions on the bag, you can read that thread here.

Seems like it would be more weight distributed on the sides when loaded up than a carolina. That's the main reason I switched to the Silverback, it's balanced toward the middle more.

I think that the GB Simian and Revo Dual Pack Lite will probably have a more comfortable weight distribution.

$285 is super expensive for a bag, no matter the materials/engineering it has been done with.

That bag just looks goofy.

285 dollars is ridiculous!

$285 is high. It better be REALLY good. I was sceptical of the $200 price tag o the simian until I started using it. Maybe it will be worth it and appearently people will pay that price. I bet they were mad after the saw the Simian though

That thing is GINORMOUS, and it makes the Simian look much more cost effective, which is a good thing in my opinion.

does it come with a '01 roc?

that bag is going to appeal to like 5% of the DG market.

They will hit this portion of the market if dave buys it. I believe he comprises 2-6% of the market himself.
