Difference between Yonex Bags?

[aggielaw]

I'm trying to figure out which Yonex 6-racquet bag to buy. The Yonex catalogue doesn't give any meaningful description of the different models (pro, tournament active, tournament basic, and club). I also see a reference occasionally to a "Pro thermal" bag and wonder if all the Pro bags are thermally shielded or only the one bag specifically designated as such, which otherwise looks like the standard 2011 pro series bag.

Can someone shed some light on the difference between the models apart from cosmetics?

Thanks!

The Pro bags are better insulated, better finish, bigger hence the higher price.
I have the 6 pack tournament bag black and red and it is just fine, but if you don't have many rackets they tend to fall over or be mushy. The 6 pack has 2 compartments and a shoe compartment, which does the job fine to me.

Thanks, Buckethead. I watched the TW video of the Pro Series 6-pack and it doesn't look insulated. Another vendor told me the Yonex website appears to be mistaken, as a physical check of their Pro Series bags revealed nylon only- no insulation.

I wound up buying the Babolat Aero 9-pack both for its looks and on the assertion of a couple folks here on the boards that Babolat's bags are higher quality than most. I would've rather given my money to the Japanese than the Fwench but hey, that's life.

The more I look at the 2011 Pro Series black and red, though, the more I like it.

^^^ I have both the current Babolat Team and Yonex Pro Series bags. Whilst the latter's internals are not insulated I found their compartments' widths to be slightly wider than the Babolat's and so could fit a bit more inside. The Yonex's overall finish is superb and looks on a par with the Babolat's. With the Yonex the nifty cinch-straps positioned at the top allow you to position the bag closer to your shoulder and also make it slightly more compact for overall length.
