Hybrid Versatility: Carry Weight Meets Cart-Bag Storage
The all-new PING Hoofer MAX is engineered as a true high-performance hybrid stand bag, built to perform seamlessly on your shoulders, mounted to a push trolley, or strapped onto a riding cart. Combining the nimble footprint of a walking bag with the extensive storage capacity of a cart bag, the Hoofer MAX features a spacious 14-way top, an impressive 15 pockets with 22L of volume, and an innovative base collapse zone that eliminates grip tangling for good.
Key Technology & Innovation
Roomier 14-Way Top
Wider than the Hoofer 14 with deeper individual full-length dividers, ensuring hassle-free club management, smooth pulls, and zero crowding.
Integrated Collapse Zone
A patented base structure that billows outward when the stand legs deploy, opening up lower internal space so grips never bind or lock together.
Magnetic Pocket
Effortless, one-handed magnetic snap access with an internal mesh divider - ideal for keeping your phone, wallet, or spare glove safely separated.
Zippered Folio Pocket
Dedicated, secure compartmentalization for your essential on-course accessories, including ball markers, pitch repair tools, tees, and scorecards.
Magnetic Rangefinder Pocket
Positioned right at the top front of the bag for instant access between shots, keeping your optics protected yet ready to grab at a moment's notice.
Rain Hood Inside Hip Pad
The deployable, tethered rain hood stores neatly inside the zippered cushioned hip pad, doubling as extra carrying comfort when walking.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the Hoofer MAX different from the standard Hoofer or Hoofer 14?
The Hoofer MAX is a true hybrid bag. It features a wider top cuff and deeper dividers than the Hoofer 14, offers 15 pockets with 22L of volume (nearly cart-bag level), and debuts the patented Collapse Zone base technology that stops clubs from binding when the stand legs kick out.
What does the "Integrated Collapse Zone" actually do?
Traditional stand bags can pinch club grips together at the bottom when the legs deploy. The Hoofer MAX features an engineered accordion-style base panel that billows outward as the stand engages, giving club grips extra space so they slide in and out without snagging.
Can I use the Hoofer MAX on an electric cart or push trolley?
Yes. It includes an integrated cart-strap pass-through channel behind the upper pockets. This locks the bag tightly to carts or trundlers without cutting off access to your rangefinder, valuables, or apparel pockets.
Can I carry the bag using a single strap instead of backpack style?
Yes. The premium padded shoulder harness connects via PING’s sliding back puck system, which naturally auto-balances while walking and quickly converts into a single-strap setup if preferred.
Where is the rain hood stored?
The rain hood is tethered inside a zippered pocket inside the cushioned hip pad. When packed away, it acts as additional lumbar padding; when the weather turns, simply unzip and pull it over your clubs.
