Got a core bag a week ago. It's been great. Very light, and fits everything I need for a nice weather round or tourney. I believe I made a good choice with the Core over the Trooper.
Only thing that bothers me with the core, is that it does not have a d-ring for a tag/towel. Other than that the Core is a good bag.
Got one for Christmas. Very light and has plenty of room for discs. In the summer I can see myself putting an extra bottle of water in the top of the bag
I use mine for night time glow rounds mostly. Works well, fits a ton of discs as well as up to 4 putters on the top, but thats pushing it in just that putter pocket.
The big pocket does fit my flashlight, towel and some other ****, but i don't trust it to hold my wallet, phone or keys. Im afraid that it may tip over and that small stuff will fall out. There are no clips or rings or anything anywhere on the bag. There is 1 clip inside one of the side pockets but that same pocket has a small hole in the bottom for "venting" or "liquid draining"? Which doesn't make sense to me. Why would you clip something in the same pocket as your drink? The side pockets are pretty big. I can fit 3 12 oz beers or 2 25 oz beers in each pocket. Or just use 1 side pocket for all my accessories and use the other side pocket for refreshments.
I have been thinking of making some holes so that I can clip an extra little baggie in the top pocket for my accessories. Maybe sew some military grade velcro for that extra little support inside.
Overall, I am pretty satisfied with the bag for the price. I would probably use it for a small tournament, but not for a very long day of a tourney. If the side pockets were taller and the main compartment on top had a bit more support for phones, keys and wallets then it would make the bag PERFECT. But for the price, you gotta make concessions and it's not a deal breaker.
8/10 for the price.
5/10 overall.
