Wilson Leather Bag

For $600:

Quite nice, I must say.

Agent Orynge · 12-08-2011, 04:12 PM

Quite expensive, I must say.

The sad part is that people will actually buy this.

I heard it will increase your spin RPM's by at least 2000 if your racquets stay in there for over a day.

What's the sad part?

It's made to be bought and used.

It looks like a bowling ball bag.

Looks sharp. A little too sharp.

Another vanity product for people who have more money than they know what to do with. I bet you won't see any top 100 player walking on the court with that.

I bet you might see a 3.0, country club, 50 + woman walking to the court with one.

That's a fitting line. Though I must say, Roger would be sharp as a tack carrying this at Wimbledon.

You won't see a top 100 player with the leather bag because the companies pay them to advertise what the company wants to sell the masses for the season.

The companies make WAY more money getting tens of thousands of people buying $60 bags than a handful of people buying $600 bags.

I bet the 3.0 country club 50+ woman makes a one-time purchase in a decade whereas some 4.0 wannabe dudes buy a new bag every year. Same amount of money spent.

Great point!

I take it back. No woman would be caught dead on court with the six-pack.

She'd spend $85 on the Milan:

Save the leather six pack for the 50+ Indiana Jones court rats.

The three pack is nice. I wonder if they'll get that nice broken-in leather look with time and use.

Your conventional red Wilson bag just fades and falls apart with time and you're forced to get a new one anyway.

Awesome bag. Wait for the closeout.

JDMasFCK · 12-08-2011, 08:30 PM

damn that's expensive

Chyeaah · 12-09-2011, 12:24 AM

Your racquets will be stinkin hot in there.

I'm sorry, but $600...

I won't be buying this bag. Yes, it's somewhat out of my price range, but I do appreciate Wilson's ambition to create what appears to be a higher end product than the garbage that passes as a bag in our sport. If I had $600 to spend on a bag, and if the bag met all my functionality needs, I'd rather buy one of those and use it for the next 10 years, instead of the crap-tastic, giant logo-infested, $60 monstrosities that we end up re-buying every year or so.

I concur, I really like the clean, classic look of the bag. Being that it's leather, it should last a lifetime.
