Summary: au contraire 2008-12-31
Comment: In response to Edwin C. Pauzer's entertaining review... although it is true that golf equipment manufacturers stipulate firm retail prices, they often turn a blind eye to older models, and even models midway through their cycles. That's why certain ecommerce sites will say "Click for Price" or "Add to Shopping Cart for Price". They won't advertise the price on the product page, but they will sell it for less at checkout than the manufacturer's recommended price.
Case in point, I purchased this 2008 model bag at a well known national retailer last weekend. List price $169. Sale price 25% off = $127. Plus I used a $25 (off $100 or more purchase) coupon. Final total price $102 before tax.
At that price, this bag is a steal. It is a quality bag with a strong attention to detail. Good quality zipper tags, fleece lining in valuables pockets, well thought-out handles and grips, wet-dry pockets, etc. As for some unique (or rarer) features, it has a zipperless ball pocket; a large slot for your wedges; two insulated pockets; and a spring-loaded rain hood that allows for quick access to your clubs.
Although I haven't put my bag into action (that's not what she said), I'm pretty sure I'll like the convenience of the ball pocket and the rain hood. I would have preferred individual dividers for each of my wedges, but have an open mind to the concept.
The one thing that kind of bugs me about the Exodus is the insulated pockets. They're a little small. I like the idea of having two of them, but each one can barely fit one 20oz bottle of Gatorade, which has to be jammed in there for the zipper to close. The Ogio Atlas is very similar to the Exodus and has one large insulated pocket, instead of two smaller ones. If I could take a mulligan, I may opt for the Atlas for that reason alone.
Overall, it is not only a quality bag, it is good looking and functional without going over-the-top (see Bag Boy Revolver). Personally, I think this is better than most other bags I have seen at the $169-$199 price point. The other bags I would recommend taking a look at are the Ogio Atlas and Sun Mountain C-130. CHECK OLDER MODELS FOR DEALS. But a golf bag is very personal. Touch it, lift it, try the pockets, etc. I'm a firm believer that if you feel good about your equipment (any equipment), you will play better.

Summary: Keep the Ol' Bag 2008-06-05
Comment: I have been mooning over a picture of this sleek golf bag all spring, as if I was staring at a bikini-clad Terri Hatcher. (Whoof! Whoof!) It made my heart flutter. I could already imagine the looks of sheer envy from other golfers who would have nudged each other as they saw me drive by with this sleek blue and gold creation strapped to the back of my cart. "Look at him; he's got the Exodus, a real hot bag." I would have felt like the proud owner of a Nimbus 2000. A bag that has two insulated pockets to keep hot food hot and cold food cold, would have made a mockery of the course signs that read, "No coolers allowed." How about, "No Cooler Left Behind?!"
Then there was that longer divider to keep the driving woods (that really aren't made from wood anymore) away from the irons (that are still made of iron). There are pockets for gloves and rain gear, and a water drainage hole at the bottom of the bag. (Where else)? There are little nooks and crannies for balls, markers, tees and greens repair tool, shoe and clete tool, umbrella slot, cover, comfortable carrying straps, and counters. It has everything, and it would never have become my "ol' bag."
But it was not meant to be because the seller is fibbing, and fibbing big time. On two, top-of-the-line Ogio upright golf bags, the Amazon advertisement announces a saving of $40 and $30 on the Exodus and Atlas, respectively. This has all the truth of a hole-in-one story on a par four hole. It just ain't so. Just like Swiss Army does not allow retailers to discount their watches, Ogio does not allow its retailers to discount their golf bags. So, instead of buying this finely-engineered, beautifully-designed and crafted piece of equipment here, "at a savings of $40," and paying for shipping, you might just as well jump in your car and travel to the nearest golf outlet where you won't have to pay for shipping or the wait for delivery. Of course, if you live in Dry Heaves, NE, and the nearest golf outlet is over the next prairie or at least twenty-seven miles from the nearest Howard Johnsons, considering the cost of gas, disregard.
The bag is five stars, the advertising is zero stars. If it weren't for the misleading advertising, the sale would have been, well, in the bag. There are no savings by buying it here. It is not discounted. I feel like I almost bought another pair of electric scissors. Now, I'm going to go out and buy one made by Snake-eyes.
Or, I just might just keep the ol' bag a little while longer. After all, it never lied to me.
Now, watch this drive!
