Revainrating 5 out of 5

An absolute PITA to put together, great when you're there.

Honestly I would give this item 3 stars just because of the workmanship but that's not fair. Plan to watch a YouTube video (the only one I could find is about V2, not V3) and then spend half an hour fiddling with this thing before even remotely using it. This video assumes the backplate is installed, not the backplate. It's not going to happen. When you install it the narrow part goes up instead of down and if you make it last because you followed the video some gymnastics is required. In fact, all of this requires gymnastics, and I'm not sure they took into account when designing that humans only have two hands. I understand that the assembled item will cost MUCH more to ship, especially if it is made in China, as it can no longer be packaged unassembled. But buyers beware, this is a HUGE PITA. Once you get the panels in all the zipped pockets (which they are single use only) the bag creaks and creaks when you put it down from the panels rubbing against each other and the floor. Time may pass, but it is what it is. This is the last of those annoying things in the bag, and why not rate it lower because you only have to do it once. I'd like to talk about the bag's bad points first, since there aren't many of them: it's just not very convenient to access and leave it unzipped while playing. The front flap requires a real effort to secure the stick compartment for access to the interior of the bag. It's ok if you velcro it to the back of the interior behind the racquet bag, just not as perfect as it could be. A few more attachment points to attach things that don't hit your back when you're carrying them would be nice. All side zips are pressed against you in the closed position, so don't attach your speaker or league tag there. It would be nice to have your own non-zipped mini bag, you should use either the side pocket or the zipped pocket on the outermost racquet bag. Pros: It's incredibly comfortable to wear. A shoulder or two, it doesn't matter. The zippers are very nice and waterproof. The large side pockets with zips can be expanded and are well thought out. On the one hand there is a shallow pocket for pencils, and on the other hand, deeper - for pens or felt-tip pens. Expansion space is BIG. umbrella storage. This cannot be overestimated. You can keep yourself and your drives dry without holding on to anything. Most external club storage with fast access is great for a single drive. Two would be the absolute max I'd want to try out there, but your handy stick fits perfectly and is ready to go. The velcro patch is good, I'll have to see how it comes out when I get mine, but it comes with a universal "Prodigy" patch. It holds quite a few discs, actually more than I expected. 28 is placed there without the practical use of side pockets. 30 shouldn't be a problem. The color is nice, I took the blue one and it looks decent. The material is more like a tent, feeling light and fragile but feeling strong. If it doesn't crack when you put the plates in, it will most likely last forever. Price. It really looks like a much more expensive bag (when assembled). You will curse it for the first hour of ownership, but then everything will go smoothly.

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Quality
