Disc Golf Bags?

[dannyreeves]

I'M PUMPED!! I just ordered my black and grey Carolina bag from Revolution. As of today there are only a few of these left in the color above (and also the Hot Pink!). They are to receive a new shipment of other assorted colors next week for those who desire another color. VERY professional company...will post a review next week...

Do you know which colors they are getting? And is their office open on Saturdays? I need to get one of these babies quick. My old Gateway Tour bag is ripping in 2 spots. It has to be at least 5-6 years old.

Go to discgolfer.com then hit the Buy Online button at the top right then go to the desired bag and click on colors...you should see what is available and what colors are ordered. Also you'll see how many are in stock. Looks like they'll have about every color next week! I called and talked to Dave himself...!

Based on the fact that I had to wait for mine to come in about a month ago, it looks like they're having issues with more people wanting them than they can stock. Not a bad thing though.

I still like all my Revolution Bags.

Ordered my bag Friday and it arrived Monday...from Virginia to Kansas in 3 days, including a Sunday!! A superior product through and through with lots of space and pockets...seems indestructible!
Fantastic job, Revolution!! Thank you!!

I know this has been posted numerous times, but....
I have been using a Lightning Large bag for roughly a year now, and both side pockets are starting to rip out. I plan on playing a lot more next year than what I did this year and want something that will last for me for a while. Right now I'm thinking the PDGA tour bag looks best for the money. I saw this bag a couple of weeks ago and it looks nice, but doesn't anyone have reviews of it??

Thanx

I'm sure you know what everyone is going to say about getting a new bag...
best bags ever

Guess I forgot to add that money's quite tight at the moment and don't want to pay more than I have to. If I had the money, I wouldn't be posting here and be placing an order with Revolution.

AH yes, understand. But they are worth every penny. Someone on trader's row might have a used one for cheap, or a trade? I know gateway bags are very durable as well, but I'm not sure about price.

Gateway runs about as much as a revolution, so I'd go Revo between those 2.

You get what you pay for when it comes to bags. Revolution and Gateway are the absolute best bags but cost the most. I'd say it's a three way tie after that with Innova, Discraft, and the PDGA bag. Lighting bags are the cheapest but as you found out, they're also the least durable.

I had the same mindset as you a couple years ago when trying to choose a bag. Budget was was main concern. I went through a Lighting bag, the PDGA tour bag, and two Innova tour bags within about two years. These bags are good for about 6-12 months before the zippers give way and the material by the cup holder starts to fall apart. I bought my Revolution bag a little over a year ago and it looks brand new!!! Nothing has broken and the zipper are of the highest quality, plus the internal frame system is great! If you're truley going to be playing more this year, you should spend the extra $50 and get the premium bag. If you get anything other than Gateway or Revolution, you'll probably end up buying two over the course of next year and spend the same amount of money. Plus, Revolution is made in the USA as opposed to most of the others (China, Tawain, etc)...the craftmenship really shows.

I bought one of the frist disc golf bags Revolution ever made a little over nine years ago and it was the last bag I bought,it looks as good as the day I bought it.In the long run you'll be saving money.

Too true. I had a PDGA Tour bag for a while. It's a great bag and probably is the best value as far as durabilityrice. It did still get warn out though. Just think, you can buy a PDGA or Innova bag every two years for the next ten years, or just buy a Revo bag and have that for longer. You'll def. be saving money.

On the site it looks like all their top bags hold 12-14, and the main difference is the material they're made of. I see that the pro and the carolina have 2 water bottle holders (another reason I want a new bag) I know I carry too many discs with me, but I don't like changing them out for certain courses, but I have about 25 discs in my bag at the moment, is there a revo that will carry that many?? I don't want a dual pack though.

[mikewilmes13185]

Just buy a Columbia backpack that's all you need.

[the_kid]

Get a Gateway tour! It is like $90 and holds at least 20 discs. It is made un STL and is well worth the money. I had mine for three years before getting a Gateway backpack bag.

[the_kid]

I almost forgot you can usually get used ones from the shop for like $50 or so.

If you don't need to carry every disc you own an old Wall City bag is great. They were as good as it got before Rev. started making bags.

Someone on the boards would have one. Heck I have an old Wall City cube I would let go to a good home. Still in great shape.

...I have about 25 discs in my bag at the moment, is there a revo that will carry that many?? I don't want a dual pack though.

I can fit 23 in my Texas Team bag, which I do when travleing and space is limited for backups. 4 putters/8 mids/10 drivers/and a Whitler in the side pocket for catch when we get there
If you don't use the divider on the frame, (I do) that's another disc.

The side pockets will easily hold 4 each...though I'll recommend you carry fewer discs and ease up on the dependency to do so by getting a bag that will hold less. Will be easier on your back and make disc choice/selection simpler. Face it, you carry 25 discs because your present bags allows for it.
Buy a pull/push DG cart...or get a smaller bag.

[mikewilmes13185]

I agree with the above post. 25 discs is about 17 too many. all you need is 3 putters, understable mid, overstable mid, understable driver, overstable driver, and extremely overstable driver then you are set. Its alot easier on your back and you get to know your plastic really well.

I own a Gateway Weekend Deluxe and I love it.
I also own a Gateway Starter bag for short trips or various times that I only want to carry a few discs such as when I'm traveling. It's also great for what it's meant to do.
You won't go wrong with Gateway.

GottaGoGottaThrow has the best prices on bags.

Yes they are the best and lightest.

Well I know they aren't the lightest....

[Boneman]

My bag is empty ... i need a new bag. I couldn't resist, LOL.

[coop123]

The new Innova touring bag is a good option. It has an all new design and I think marshall street is selling them for $60. I have seen one in person and it had a lot of disc space 2 bottle holders and large side pockets. I think it is up there very close to revolution as far as space and durability. Much more durable than the previous touring bag model.

Also 25 Discs?!?!?!?!?
You need 2-3 putters
3 mids
3 Drivers
Faiway driver
Utility disc (roller, thumber)
and 2-3 backups for personal assurance.
Thats 15 Max. I couldn't imagine needing that many.

Just remember that you are doing the work not the disc. Rely on your game, not the numerous dummy discs innova and discraft and those other companies tell you that you need. People nowadays have a disc for every 5 degrees hyzer or anny instead of changing their wrist angle.

Be confident in YOUR game not the disc manufacturer's game.

Whatever happened to a few Rocs being beat to different stability?
