WRX Spotlight: Stitch Golf SL2 Bag

Published

on

It wasn’t long ago that we reviewed the Stitch Golf SL2 Golf Bag here at GolfWRX and talked about both the pros and some of the cons of the new bag from the North Carolina company. Being smaller has allowed Stitch to be nimble in its design approach, and for 2020 Stitch has taken customer feedback seriously and improved the functionality of the already great bag.

What’s stayed the same…

  • The SL2 comes in right at four pounds
  • Well placed pockets hold enough gear for 18 holes or more
  • It’s almost completely water-resistant thanks to Stitch’s Touring Fabric. The Material is a proprietary product used in all their bags that has the strength of leather but is more durable & wear-resistant
  • Large, well-padded top easily holds 14 clubs and doesn’t “mush” your blade putter cover.
  • It comes with the option to use either single or double straps – both are included and it’s very easy to swap between the two thanks to well-placed pinch clips

The improvements

The pitch and width of the legs in the standing position have been adjusted to allow the SL2 to sit more stable when set down. The first version of the bag was a bit upright compared to others in the marketplace which isn’t really a big issue but if you are walking on a hilly course you always had to take an extra second to make sure you placed the bag in a stable orientation before walking away.

Since the SL2 is a bag designed with the walker in mind, one of the most requested upgrades was additional padding where the bag sits against the back. A lot of bags in the minimalist category have very little padding if any padding at all, but Stitch took customer feedback seriously and added a hip pad to keep you comfy.

This is where we start to get granular. The last two pieces of feedback for the original SL2 were that the Stitch logo on the apparel pocket was just too big and bold for some and the water bottle sleeve was a little awkward.

From a branding perspective, the large logo made sense and falls in line with almost every bag on the market but for those looking for a minimalist option having such a large logo took away from the styling.

The water bottle sleeve has been moved to the front of the ball pocket instead of behind to allow for greater access while walking and the ability to hold larger bottles, again not major tweaks but the devil is in the details.

As I said before, the best way to sum up the SL2 is to compare it to a sporty roadster: stylish, light, fun, fast, and functional. It doesn’t pretend to be anything that it’s not and holds the essentials—plus a couple of extras just in case.

    This bag looks awesome! Have you tried it in a cart yet? I had a white ping hoofer and the black cart straps would always leave a mark on my white bag. Is this the case with this white SL2?

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

Published

on

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.
