What is the (physical) difference between a Babolat 9-pack and 12-pack

[flex]

So these are the same model in the Babolat "Pure" line

1-I'm having trouble figuring out what exactly is the difference?
2-Namely...IS there a size difference? If so, what is it?
3-Crazy but from watching the TW video...it appears to me to be the SAME physical size. Am I right or mistaken?

To answer part of #1, the only difference I noticed is that the 12 pack has 2 thermal compartment and 1 non-thermal compartment in the middle, whereas the 9 pack has one thermal compartment and 2 non-thermal compartment...

Appreciate it if anyone can chime in. I might be missing something obvious here...

There is an extra compartment.

There is an extra compartment.

Can you substantiate that claim?
Both videos shows 3 main compartments.
In the videos, Michelle from TW even says "3 main compartments"...in the 9-pack video at the 25sec mark and in the 12-pack video at 35sec mark.

The width. The 12 pack should be wider than the 9 pack.

I was looking at the video, the 9 pack might have a third compartment but it does not look like the one in the 12 pack. I also used to have the Pure strike 9 bag and it was smaller. If you look at the specs the 9 pack is L28.5" x W15" x H13" and the 12 pack is L30" x W16.5" x H14".

I was going to say I can re-measure the 9 pack in case that dimension is incorrect, but I don't think we have any in stock at the moment. We measure all our bags ourselves, but it looks like Babolat states the 9 pack is 3 inches smaller in width.

Apologies I can't confirm the 3 inch difference, but yes, they are very, very similar (and the price point is the same on the VS Aero 9 Pack and Pure Aero 12 Pack).

Thanks, I didn't realize the difference was 3 inches (not that much imo) but 12 might still be bigger than I need.
Do you have a Babolat source that could confirm if Babolat makes this color/style as a 9 pack? https://www.tennis-warehouse.com/Ba...ck_Bag_Black_Yellow/descpageBGBAB-BBPA12.html

Always jealous of Babolat bags. I would likely go with the 12r. Easy not to use space, hard to add it. Having said that I have a bad habit of buying 9r bags onsale and using them. I could likely get away with a 6r, but I like having a little extra space.

I (still) think it’s doable to down size.
I went from the Babolat Pure 12R to a backpack style with hard shell casing that can fit max of 3 racquets.
With careful selection of items and regular replenishments, I am still doing oaky after about 3 months. Lol
