Favorite Yonex bag ever?

[Seth]

I own last year's nine-pack Yonex Tour bag. More specifically, this one:

I really like it, but I've just gotten into Yonex gear. I was wondering: What is the best bag they have produced? For anyone who owns the newer model (this year's), how does it compare to mine? From the looks of it, they're very similar. I didn't know if any of the older models had unique features.

Note: I know Yonex has a habit of releasing some bags in the US that are slightly different than those released in Japan/given to pros. Anyone with experience with these bags, feel free to share.

I have the same bag. The newer ones in my club are alsmost the same, except for the colors. They even have that nice shoe compartment. My only problem with it is that some times the racquet compartment caves in a little bit, but ohter than that it is awesome

How many racquets do you put in the three main compartments? I only put three in each. I feel like if I put more than that they all start to bunch up and destroy the overgrips.

I've got three sticks. So, one compartment gets those. The middle gets wristbands, clothes, grips, and a roll of toilet paper (you never know when you'll get stranded at a park with shady bathrooms). The other side has a towel and balls. Shoes go underneath.

I'm with you on the caving in comment. I feel like these bags could have a big more structure, but they're made from high quality material so I can't complain.

I just got the same bag except I have the red and black. It is an incredibly nice bag. I do the same with 3 sticks on left then balls, random stuff in middle and clothes on right. Its real nice to not have to dig through my bag to get stuff now. My bag is pretty loaded with gear but it feels very light on my back, which is great since I ride my bike.

I looked for a while for new bags and I'd definitely recommend this one.

 

[Timbo's hopeless slice]

Just a word of advice, pay the extra for the better model. I have a Tour Basic 6 pack, and while it's a perfectly decent bag, there is no insulation and the material is very thin. (if the bag isn't full of stuff, it basically collapses on itself!)

It is also the least waterproof bag I have ever seen!

on the plus side, all the zips are good, the layout is practical and it has survived a summer of tournaments and coaching without missing a beat or sustaining a single mark.

Yes, I should clarify I bought the pro one. It is exceptional quality so far.
