For as long as I can remember, I’ve been a huge fan of Vessel golf bags. Specifically, their stand bags because I like to walk. Since founding Golfer’s Authority though, I’ve accumulated more golf equipment than I know what to do with. It drives my wife crazy, but she still loves me. . . I think.


As such, I need room to put it all and it’s nice to have a cart bag for those rounds when I do ride.


I recently got my hands on the Prodigy Mini Staff Bag. As I expected, it more than lives up to the Vessel reputation.

Key Features

Ten external pockets afford plenty of room for storage.

Six compartments lined with the finest microsuede provide ultimate protection for your clubs.

Tour-Grade materials from top to bottom look sharp, are built to last, and are easy to clean.

Design and Technology

When it comes to golf bag design, no one does it better than Vessel.

It’s apparent in the Prodigy Mini Staff Bag.

The story begins with the world-class materials the bag is made of. Not only are they top tier, they’re constructed in a way that leaves no detail overlooked.

No less than ten pockets adorn the Prodigy Mini Staff Bag. They include three personals pockets that are seam-sealed and waterproof; two large garment compartments that give you plenty of room for all your clothes; a large front ball pocket; and zippers made from metal with leather pulls. If you can’t get everything you need in this bag, I suggest seeking professional help.


You’re going to have to carry this bag at some point, even if it’s just from the parking lot to your cart. That’s where the padded single strap comes in handy. It won’t dig into your shoulder and is quite comfortable.

Other features include a rain hood, umbrella sleeve, towel ring, and detachable belly panel that can be custom embroidered.

PROS

  • The bag’s materials are the best of the best. They look sharp, stand up to the elements, and are easy to clean.
  • Ten pockets give you plenty of room for storage.
  • Personalization option is an added feature that other cart bags don’t have.

CONS

  • Price point is higher than other cart bags.
  • Two color options might be a limiting factor for some golfers.
  • Shipping times might vary depending on demand and inventory levels.

Our Experience

One of my buddies recently purchased the Vessel Prodigy Mini Staff Bag and is absolutely in love with it.


Despite the bag’s quality design and materials, he relishes having so much room to store his stuff. And trust me, he’s got a lot of it. Thankfully, he knows just where everything’s at thanks to an astounding ten pockets.


The personalization on the belly of his bag turned out really well too. It says “Sandy Steve” in the most ornate script. The name is fitting, and he knows it.


Suffice it to say, Steve with the inflated handicap doesn’t plan on getting a new bag anytime soon, and it’s not hard to see why.
