Babolat Bags - Quality?

TripleB · 06-22-2012, 07:05 PM

I'm getting ready to demo 4 racquets, 3 of which are by Babolat. So, if I order one these racquets, the odds are pretty good that it's going to be a Babolat.

I have a Dunlop bag right now that I like pretty well: holds about 6 racquets, balls, hats, and towel comfortably in the two racquet compartments and it has a medium size side pocket to hold everything else. Both racquet compartments are "thermal" lined.

I'm wondering if Babolat makes quality 6 pack bags?

If they are low quality, or I can't find one I like as much as my Dunlop, I'll just stick with the Dunlop bag.

Thanks for any help.

I use the Babolat Team 9 bag in the black and silver!

It's an awesome bag, holds 6-7 non-tweener sized beamed rackets in the thermal compartment. The other compartment is huge, holds my shoes (comes with a wet bag,) 2 sets of clothes, 8 cans of balls, strings and all the other goodies that you may need. I carry a few bottles of water, some extra clothes, and towels and I still have quite a bit of room.

The side pocket is great for wallets/keys/phones and other items that are a bit more precious that you don't want getting crushed.

The shoulder straps are awesome, very comfy and they adjust as needed.

The middle strap is almost double woven and is very durable.

If you have any questions on the 9 or need any pictures, let me know! I've used it for almost 2 years and it still is in amazing condition. It's been through countless days on the train, subway stations, and my own vehicle. Plus biking with it was a breeze.

I have the Aero 6 pack bag. Wonderful bag.

I have the "Pure Drivers" 12 pack. I only carry two racquets, which makes it plenty big enough for shoes and all the other stuff I like to take with me (headbands, wristbands, sun screen, water, etc.).

It's extremely high quality.

I've got a blue 12pack, fits a lot of stuff. I like especially how it's expandable, unlike my old Wilson K Factor bag. And the shoulder straps give me another way of carrying it other than just on my back. Durability-wise, it's lasted me from 2009 and hasn't shown any signs of relenting

i have the black, silver with red 12 pack and it is great, I just prefer the backpack style straps so i also use a couple of wilson bags.

I have an older model Bab Black/White team bag, 6-pack, works really well. And I recently picked up this backpack: http://www.tennis-warehouse.com/Babo...AB-BCLBBP.html
I will update on the backpacks quality, but my 6 pack is hanging on like new, it is really durable all around.

I am using the 12 pack apdc bag. very durable. It has survived a half mile unsecured ride on top my car and tragically flew off. some minor scratches but contents was safe. no complaints. 3 sticks, shoes, 5 cans of balls, and best of all thermal lined drink holder and sticks, are always cool even in my car. would highly recommend even after 5 yrs of use.

only complaint, zippers were a little weak. broke in the first year, but bab cust service sent another one.

oh yeah, even survived airline baggage handling. now that's the ultimate test.

Dang, that's very impressive. TW should do this as a part of their bag testing!

I have the babolat team 6 bag. it is more than big enough for me.
I carry 4 rackets plus a few tubes of balls, a few bottles of water and a towel or two, plus spare clothes depending on where I'm playing.
