Disc Golf Bags?

[dannyreeves]

Well, I actually live and play in Texas and I will tell you that 64 ounces is about right for the summer time. You gotta have more than 32 ounces for sure.

I've had my Carolina Edition Bag since Xmas. I will never have any other bag than a Revolution. I wasted more money than the cost of the bag trying to find a similar bag for a cheaper price. Went through three of them.

End result, there is no better bag than a Revolution. Quality costs a little more and lasts a lot longer.

I think you could buy a Revolution Carolina bag, some quad shocks, and a Revolution mini bag for that much. That's what I would get.

I didnt say you had to spend all 200 i said if you had 200 dollar to buy a bag which bag would you buy??? No i would buy this bag and this and then 7 other bags. If you had 200 to spend on 1 bag which bag would you buy. Its looking like alot of people would by the Revolution. The only people i see wanting gateway bags are people who are sponsored by Gateway.

If I had 200 dollars believe me, I would have to spend it all. But yea, the carolina bag with quads then.

The only people i see wanting gateway bags are people who are sponsored by Gateway.

I picked the Gateway Backpack bag and I'm not sponsored. I like the idea of having more space than the Revolution (I frequently need to carry extras for friends who tag along but don't have their own discs and like to carry extra discs to try out on the course) and I like how it grants access to the discs better. The fact that it comes with dual straps and is less expensive than the Revolution bags sealed the deal.

I'm not sure what everyone does to make their bags fall apart, but I have an Innova Standard bag with the "Diamond" material that I used for 6 months last summer and it's been holding up great. It still makes a great bag for when I just need a few discs.

The Revolution Disc Golf Bag is the best disc golf bag EVER made!

i use a wall city bag with some double straps i got from gateway that turned into a really nice set up, but the revolution bags are the shi-at when it comes to durability and style.

Started w/ a Wall City mega cube(wish they still made them,have had a couple gateway bags, a lightning bag a couple different generic bags, but I love my PDGA tour bag w/ quad shoks. I would buy this set if anything happened to the one I am using.

Are you being serious about this??? You can carry 27 discs in the Carolina Team bag. 18 in the center Compartment 4 in each pocket 2 in the putter pocket and 1 in the back pocket. Do you really carry more then 27 discs when you play??? Even if you are carring for 2 people you shouldnt need 27 discs. I will give you that you maybe be able to access your discs better but there is also alot more CRAP that can snag and rip and get caught on things on the Gateway back pack bag and i have tried one on and they arent nearly as comfy as a Revolution with Quads and that straps are nearly as comfy as quads.

I have a Revolution Mini that I use everyday, and a Carolina for road trips, and a pair of Quads that I use on both. Thank God I have a good job so I don't have to whine about the cost. Wish everyone were so fortunate. But since the question is what would you do with $200 bucks ... I would get what I've got.

The only thing I don't like about my Revolution Carolina Bag is it is named after a particular state (another reason I don't care for the 'Texas' bag ) Why make 47 out of 50 state residents feel underrepresented? I'd change the names to something less provincial...

I'm guessing if KY had as many courses as Texas or as many great golfers as Carolina then they would come up with a KY bag. Could even add an extra pocket for your lubricating jeely.

[cbdiscpimp]

I think the next state to get a bag should be Michigan. We have over 60 courses in our state and some of the best disc golfers around. The only way I would buy a new bag is if Revolution came out with a Michigan Team bag

[tbender]

If the Revolutions had a bigger center opening, they'd be the best.

I've had my Gateway for a couple years now and it's holding strong.

[the_kid]

I disagree that the only people that want gateway bags are the sponsored players. I always have used gateway bags and there are more people using gateway bags in TX than any other. I have always wanted a backpack bag even before I started throwing thier discs. [img]/msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] [img]/msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

I said the only people that posted on this thread that want Gateway bags are sponsored by Gateway. I didnt say EVERYONE. By the way quit BAGGING and move up.

So your whole point of this thread was to flame people who have a different opinioin than yourself? Why can't I prefer a different bag? I know you want to suck up to all the vendors you like to try and get sponsored, but alienating other disc golfers won't help you out in that respect.


Just because I think the Gateway bag is good doesn't mean I think the Revolution bag is bad. The site lists the the capactiy of the Revolution bags as 12-14 discs. I'm not going to jam 27 discs into a bag that's designed to hold 14. I have a hard time beliving that 27 discs will fit into one of those anyway, especally if you want to store other stuff in there as well. I also like that there is room above the discs to store disc golf related items while I'm not playing. It's convienent for me to be able to zip my shoes up in my bag when I'm not playing. I haven't had any trouble with stuff on my bag snagging on anything. It's obviously higher quality and more comfortable than other, non disc golf backpacks I've used in the past that have carried more weight than my disc golf bag and that have gotten more use without falling apart. I have an LL Bean backpack that's lower quality and stood up for four years of high school, including a week long band tour of Russia and 5 years of engineering school where I carried single books that weighed more than all the discs I carry. For the way I use my bag (recreational player, perhaps the occassional tournament) why would I pay for even more durability that I'll never use?

I don't doubt that the Revolution bags are high quality and the only thing I said that was negative about them was the price. If you didn't want people to participate in this poll and justify their responses you shouldn't have started it. You do have to learn that there is the possibility that others may have a different opinion than yours and that doesn't necessarily make them "wrong."

Wisconsin Team Bag should be next 70 + courses and last I heard quite a few good disc golfers from our state as well I even have some discs with a WI DGr's sig on it.
I may even stop using Revolution Bags if they had a Michigan Team Bag especially if it was blue and gold

[cbdiscpimp]

I didnt say your opinion was wrong I was just pointing out the fact that i own a Carolina Team bag and just last night i put 24 discs in it and the side pockets still have room for stuff to get in them and i didnt have to CRAM them in there. I didnt say that you were wrong i was just pointing out the fact that the Carolina Team bag can hold quite alot of discs and has quite alot of room in it. You can like whatever bag you want Im just trying to save people money in the long run so they dont do what i did and spend almost 200 dollars on bag before spending the 120 on a Revolution. If I would have known about Revolution when i first started and had people tell me about how great the bags they made were then i could have saved 200 dollars and a whole ton of frustation and hassle with all the CRAP bags that i bought. Im not saying your wrong i was just telling you you can fit alot of discs in the bag i have as well.

By the way if i was trying to get sponsored i would be writing letters to REVOLUTION and not posting on here. If i was trying to get sponsored then i would CALL Revolution I wouldnt be posting it on here. I love how just because one of my goals this year is to get sponsored people think that any time i say anything im just trying to get sponsored. I find stuff i like and promote it because i like it and i think its the best NOT because i want to get sponsored. Sorry i have an opinion and when i find quality stuff I put the name out there so that other people can enjoy the product as well. You guys need to take it easy and stop thinking that every time i say something im attacking you or saying your wrong.

By the way........Revolution makes the best bags on the PLANET

If it was Blue and Gold i would buy one just to BURN it. I HATE U of M.

God i hope if they make a WI bag its not Green and Yellow because that would be HORRIBLE.

the bets bags? sweet!

[the_kid]

Move up? I will in a few years. Actually I am going to start playing pro (declining) and play AM worlds so maybe that will keep people from calling me a bagger.

[twoputtok]

In your dreams.

[the_kid]

It's worth a try the guys in Tx won't be happy until I go pro and hit the tour.

If I had 200 bucks I would buy the Gateway Backpack. I just bought one in early December and I love it. First of all you got an extra 50 bucks to spend on discs and other stuff if you get it over the Rev bag w/ quads. Plus Dave is known to throw in a disc or 2 with so you get another bit of a discount there to. I love the bag I have and wouldn't trade it for the world. For anyone who is considering a bag I would highly recommend the Gateway Backpack. Its a great dual strap feel without the bag bouncing off your lower back or butt.

I carry less than 10 discs at a time. I still really like my Wall City bag. I've got a PDGA tour bag for the summer, to carry extra water. Neither of these bags cost more than $40.

Over WISCONSIN. You've gotta be kidding me! [img]/msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif[/img]

I think they need to redesign the TX team bag. It shoul have room for two discs and a 12-pack of you favorite beverage.

Screw that... just enough room for a case of "beverages" and a cell phone pocket so you can call someone after the first person passes out.
