Default Re: Discraft bags

Well Steve, I know you're just dying for me to respond to this. No telling what would have given me that idea. As a matter of fact I was going to respond last night after I read all the other new posts. Then I decided I was hungry and left my computer on while I went to get something to eat. When I got back, this was the PM I had recieved.

You going to respond to my post or are you just going to ignore it because i made you look like a jackass

Since you just couldn't wait for a response, I figured it would do you good to stew for a day or so.

I carry a Gateway Tour bag. It's my second one as a matter of fact. I won my first one when Stokley came to town running the Discraft Doubles the summer of '97. I replaced it as my main bag back in '03 (I think) with another Gateway tour bag. There was nothing seriously wrong with it but it was a little faded and a couple of the seams were beginning to fray. I still use it as my glow bag. It holds all my glow discs and a soft sided six pack cooler inside (I play glow at a private course so I can play discs and drink beer without upsetting any park guys or cops).

I don't use Quads. I had a pair of the older ones but they ripped after about a year of use. I have seen some of the newer ones and it looks like they have reinforced them to solve that problem but I'm not in a hurry to buy another pair after my first ones blew out. I have a pair of used GolfPak straps that I traded for and they work just fine. I will agree that they aren't as comfortable as Quads but why spend the money to buy a product that I don't trust after my earlier experience.

The reason for my earlier post wasn't to bust on Revolution, they make good bags as well, but it was in response to your childish badgering of Lowe when he was asking about a Discraft bag. Ask about a Discraft bag and here comes Pimp...

Save yourself the time and effort and frustration of buying a bag that you wont like or thats not going to hold up and buy a Revolution bag. This will be the one and only bag you will ever have to buy unless of course you want 2 bags or you cut this one with a chainsaw. If you spend the 150 right from the start and get the Carolina Team bag with quadshocks you wont EVER have to worry about a bag again. I have carried 3 or 4 different bag before my Revolution and I will tell you that i will NEVER carry another bag as long as i play disc golf.

Buy Revolution and you will not regret it. Plus on the new Rev bags you can hook the quads up how they were meant to be hooked up

What about the Revolution Mini???

This isn't the first time that you've done things like this. It just happened that this time I was in the wrong mood. I think I may also have offended Lowe because of his revival of a very old thread. Lowe, if I did, I do apologize.

I'll go ahead and answer your other thread here too. If I had $200 to spend on a disc bag, I wouldn't have to judging from the length of time my original Gateway bag has lasted. But just supposing that my bag was stolen, or lost in a fire, or abducted by aliens, or whatever what if you can come up with, I'd get...







(dramatic pause)








another Gateway Tour bag. And I'm not sponsored by them or anyone else for that matter. Yeah I realize that Revo is the most popular bag out there. That doesn't matter to me. I'd say for my money that the Gateway bag is the best value. I don't have to have the coolest bag on the course and be like everyone else. It's disc golf not a fashion show. All I need is a durable bag that will hold my discs, towel, Gatorade, and cigarettes. But you guys buy what you want. I'm not a rep so I'm not going to suggest anything to anyone but will share my own experiences when asked to.
