10 bag or 6 bag?

[meowmix]

Now, here's another "which bag do I get" problem. I've got an opportunity to purchase either a very nice m-fil blue 6 bag or a dunlop int team 10 bag. Both have the thermal protection. The 6 bag is 10 bucks, the 10 bag is 15.

I only have 2 matched rackets (although I have 1-2 others I throw in my bag). I typically carry a pair of shoes, a change of clothes, 2 cans of balls, some overgrip and two bottles of water/drinks.

I currently use the TW 6 bag. I've had it for a good 9 months. It's a good bag with plenty of features, but it's basically dead now. Tears, rips, shoulder strap falling apart, etc. The 6 bag suits me fine- I have enough room for everything.

Which bag do I get? Is the 10 bag just overkill (btw, this 10 bag supposedly looks more like a 12 bag)?

I need to decide ASAP, as in the next 24 hours or so. Whichever bag gets more votes I'll buy.

10 might be too much for anyone.. lol
6 is the way!

 

[ag200boy]

joops i voted for the 10 bag, but i meant the 6-bag, you would need a ton of stuff to need a 10 bag

 

[meowmix]

Vote currently stands at 3 to 2 in favor of the 6 bag. The people that voted for the 10 bag, can you please explain your choice?

 

[FloridaAG]

Why anyone needs a 10 bag is beyond me.

 

[meowmix]

^besides the pros that is?

 

[Klatu Verata Necktie]

Tennis balls
Towel
Change of clothes
Change of shoes
Flip flops for after the match
wristbands, hats, etc.
Sunscreen
Bottle or jug of water
Snacks

The amount of gear I carry depends on where I am playing. I never know when I'll need the extra room and I'd rather not have to carry an extra bag if I can avoid it. Furthermore, a relatively empty bag can be flattened out to avoid being bulky, and a 10 pack won't weigh much more than a 6 pack.

I'd take the 10 pack.

 

[meowmix]

^ your list of supplies seems similar to what I carry. Thank you for the explanation.

 

[baek57]

also similar to what i carry, and it all fits in a 6 bag.

 

[meowmix]

Hmm... You know guys, this really isn't helping much. There are too many pros for both the 6 and the 10. That and the fact that the poll is tied. *sighs in exasperation...*

 

[ag200boy]

^^^yeah but my vote for the 10 pack was intended for the 6 pack

dont stress over $10. you already said a 6 pack suits you fine (tw bag). unless you plan on carrying more things to the court, stick with the 6.

 

[meowmix]

^hmm. Very good advice. Much appreciated.

 

[Chris Dono]

if you have like 4 or 5 racquets then go with a 10 pack, any less than 3 just use a 6 pack and it will be enough for shoes, clothing, food, water, and anything else.

 

[ag200boy]

^^^yeah my rule of thumb is if you can fit your racquets in one compartment then u need a 6

 

[Kirko]

I went for the 10 pack from Dunlop. I know at first it looks like over-kill, but its not. I have only two rackets, but I keep bottles of water, towel and clothes. at first it seems like WOW! its way better in the long run.

 

[Dr. Acula]

Better to have too much room than not enough.

 

[meowmix]

Alright. I'll take a look again at this tomorrow after the poll closes. I have too much stuff to be doing Thanks for all the advice guys (and gals?)

 

[ThA_Azn_DeViL]

If you have the money, go for the 10!

 

[10nistennis]

Hmm, maybe you should go with the ten. Who knows if you'll purchase more racquets in the future, and if you do, a 6-bag will start feeling very cramped up with 3-4 racquets, towels, clothes, shoes, etc. Plus, you can just flatten out the 10-bag if it's too big. With the 10-bag, you can hold everything comfortably,
and even though a Klippermate stringing machine in there. (Jokes)

 

[Il Mostro]

Rather than just look into the racquet capacity, compare the actual dimensions and how the bags are configured. I found my Babolat 6 Pack to be a little cramped (carrying 5-6 racquets plus my other things) and went to a Tecnifibre 9 Pack. The 9 Pack is only larger by a couple of inches in any direction, but between that and the way it is designed, there is enough additional space for my needs without added bulk.

 

[ChuDat]

I would get a the 6-pack since you only have 2 racquets

 

[meowmix]

30l 14w 12h are the dimmensions for the 10 bag
30l 10w 12h are the dimmensions for the 6 bag...

This means that there's only a 4 inch difference between the two bags?!!!

How much of a difference is that?

HOLY!!! The TW 6 bag is only 7w?!!! Wow...

 

[meowmix]

Alright guys. Thanks to all who voted. Poll stands at 10 for the 6 and 14 for the 10. I'll be getting the 10. Thanks!

Good Call !!!! You won't regret it ! I know it will appear Big at first, but it holds a ton and for me thats important eg. balls, towels, and bottles of water, not to mention rackets. a sox-pack would probably work if you always go to club where theres water and other things, but this 10-pack lets always have everything.

 

[meowmix]

^the only thing I'm worried about is stuffing it in my locker during tennis season... my locker's not very wide, so it may be a problem... Oh well.
