I have a Wilson KPro Red Super Six Pack bag.

In it, I carry my pair of Wilson KPro Staff 88s, specs are as below- strung with Babolat Xcel Power 17 mains and Babolat Pro Hurricane Tour 17 crosses at 52/50lbs respectively.

As for accessories:

Cell phone
BENGAY- for any aches/pains
Chemical Ice- so I can ice down any injury immediately, for faster recovery
Bandages/Gauze/Antiseptic- basic kit I carry ever since I skinned my knee
Electrolyte pills
Towels
5 X Nature Valley Granola bars- I prefer Oats and Honey over Trail Mix
3 X Bananas
2 X two-gallon water jugs- I drink A LOT of water
2 X Extra pair of shirts
2 X Extra pair of shorts
2 X Extra pair of socks
2 X Hats- if the sun gets in my eyes
1 X Extra pair of shoelaces
1 X Extra pair of shoes
1 X Pair of sunglasses

Nothing else that I can think of

Cheers,

Greek Goliath

how old do you have to be before you need an "old man kit"?

I carry my racket separately, and in my little rucksack I carry two cans of new or newish balls, wrist sweat bands, wallet, phone, keys, and a water bottle.

I play at courts nearby, and then go home after, dont have a need to carry that much stuff to be honest

I am amazed at the amount of stuff people carry. is it all necessary?

Do you expect to be stranded on a desert island somehow during or after the match?
