TW Tennis/Racquet bags? How big should I get to fit all this in it?

[Deleted member 25923]

I'll be carrying

3 racquets
Tennis shoes (1 pair)
an under armour long sleeve shirt
1 t-shirt
1 pair of shorts
1 pair of pants
possibly some balls

Will the 6 pack bag be enough to fit all of this in?

Get the 9 pack. It may seem like it's too big, but it's a great bag. There are three compartments (and lots of extra pockets), so put your racquets on one of the outside compartment and use the middle compartment (and the remaining side compartment) for most of your non-racquet stuff. I have a 9-pack and a 6-pack, and the 9-pack is much better for carrying non-racquet gear. Really nice bag.

for 5 dollars more just get the 9 pack.

Hmm, decisions decisions. the 9 pack isn't too bulky is it?

you fill it full of stuff, it's pretty big because the compartments are fully extended, but if you don't put as much stuff in it, it's not too bulky.

it isn't too bulky, but for me, the giant bags can be confusing.

i am always opening 4-5 different compartments to find where i put my car keys or can of balls.

unless you label the zippers or are very organized, to me the large bags have a tendency to gather unnecessary items in them (i can always find about 15 used tennis balls in the bottom of mine) and have really started to aggravate me. (and my own sloppiness is mainly to blame)

just like SUV's are somewhat "out of fashion" i say that 9 pack bags should only be used for tournament players and pros.
i am sure many will disagree... but lately, i've just been taking 2 sticks in a single racquet bag (the kind you get when you buy 1 racquet) and a bottle of water to the courts and it is just much simpler. i can shove a can of balls in the bag too.

that is my .02 :shock:

And the 6 pack wouldn't hold my stuff, or it would but it would be cramped? 5 dollars more for more space is a pretty damn good deal, and it's still pretty cheap

I do the same, but because tennis season has started, and the weather in the Mid west is unpredictable, I find myself bringing 2 plastic bags, 1 with shoes, the other with clothes, with me along with my racquet bag (actually its a racquet cover) to and from school every week.

I don't think the TW 9-packs are as big as some of the other brand-name 9-packs, so the I don't think the problem with confusion and the collection of crap at the bottom is too big of a problem.

I just don't think the TW 6-pack provides enough margin for error. It's fine, if he always packs it exactly with what he intends, but it will be tight fit and if he ever has to take more stuff, there may not be enough space.

Actually the TW 9 pack is pretty big. The only problem I see is that it kind of wears out pretty quickly.

Well said. The 9-pack rocks. No other bag comes close when it comes to providing everything you need. I like to have a bag that matches my racquets (lame, I know, but it's true) and every time I use anything other than one of my TW bags, I miss the space and versatility.

Does it fall apart, start ripping, etc? What exactly?

 

[Deleted member 25923]

bump it up!!!!

 

[Deleted member 25923]

Can the actual staff elaborate on this question?

 

[TW Staff]

I use the TW 9 pack. Right now I have 5 racquets, lots of balls (30? with no cans), a pair of shoes and some small accessories in it. I don't find it too cumbersome to carry. I haven't personally used the 6 pack, so don't have any anecdotes to share.

Is it required of the TW staff to use TW bags?

You have a lot of stuff in your bag!

You're taking this WAY to seriously for a relatively cheap bag. There is no way you will know for sure until you get one.

TW has an excellent return policy. Choose either the 6 or 9 pack, order it, don't take off the tag, and put your stuff in it. If it's too big or too small, then return it and get the other one.

Make a decision.

LOL yea that sounds like a good idea. Will order tomorrow because I'm too tired right now. Thanks for the help

 

[Deleted member 25923]

Scratch that, ordering a 9 pack now. Hopefully I'll be happy with my purchase and hopefully the bag will hold up well.
