Most durable racquet bag?

[sstchur]

I'm interested in a new racquet bag, at least a 6-racquet bag, maybe bigger (I put a lot of extra crap in my bag).

I used to use a Gamma 6-racquet bag just because my racquets are Gamma (don't laugh: I know there are others of you who are freaks like me and like everything to match), but, while I love my racquets, I am disappointed in the bag. Maybe I just stuffed it too full, but the stitching is ripping now in two places.

Anyone have a bag that you particular like and think holds up really well? I want something that has a shoe compartment and can hold a minimum of 3 racquets along with my shoes and change of clothes, towel, extra strings, grips, etc...

I've browsed around TW; Obviously, there are lots to choose from, but I'm interested in your real world experience with a specific bag: how well has it held up over time? What did you put in it? Is it comfortable to carry, etc...

Also, Anyone know how are the TW bags?

Matching bags and frames are very common so don't feel bad.

My babolat bag has Been great! I have the 9 pack but should have gotten
the 12 because I put TONS of stuff in mine.

Try reading some reviews on bags people there will give you the run down.

I'll post some links when I get on my computer

Probably the sturdiest, most well made bag I have owned or seen was the Fischer Tour bag. That thing was extremely well made of thick canvas and had nice padding. Zippers were great.

It is a bit pricey, but well worth it if looking for a sturdy bag.

That's actually the one I was considering getting! Good to know it's well built.

I've had the same "Prince Triple Threat" suitcase style bag for years, and the damn thing won't break! I want to buy a new one because I play with Babolat rackets now, but can't seem to justify spending the money.

Those new tecnifbre looks promising for your search.

I pickuped a Prince Camo bag for $20, it hold 12 racquets, but I only carry 3, I like the extra space for jacket and extra clothes. Bags are not going to last forever, eventually they will get dirty and worn. I can't justify, spending $75 to $100 for a bag. I can buy a decent racquet for that price.

Must be nice being able to pick up racquets for under $100, mine are 2 unstrung!

Put the old one up FS and get a new one

I have a friend that has a TW bag, its ugly as all, but it seems to be pretty sturdy with a nylon weave

I cant belive you cant the "W" version of sleeping around

I have mostly Head frames so Im obligated to get the bag. I dont want to match all my crap but I think frames+bag is a must and everything else doesnt matter. Its ok to have a bag whos name doesnt make frames though. Coincidentally I like most Head bags.

For your sticky situation a review convincing you on the TW bag would be good for 20 bucks.

I hadn't even considered the TW bags, because they are indeed quite ugly, but I suppose you guys are right: that really doesn't matter so long as it holds up well.

I would really like one that has two straps, as I find bags with one strap to be uncomfortable and frequently slipping off my shoulder.

BTW, yesterday I saw a TW's bag the one blue; I would say is ugly, but it well made, looks strong and probably durable.

I have one. It is not a horrible bag, but the zippers are cheesy. They have two pulls and in most locations only one works. I will keep using it until the zippers break completely, from the looks of thing that will be months not years.
