Which bag should I get, I have it narrowed down to two.

[Bundey]

Either the Adidas Barricade Tour 6 Racquet Bag Platinum or the Nike Sport Super 6-Pack Racquet Bag? I use a ProKennex, and the only prokennex bag is too big, so I want a bag that doesn't make racquets. Which one do you think I should get and why?

BTW here are the links.

the addidas one has a nice color but w.e makes u happy

 

[lucu]

go for adidas.
it is "cooler" and better built.
my partner has one, and it is one of the best looking i have ever seen.

 

[Bundey]

Also, do either of these have a thermo guard, and how is the protection?

 

[757tennis]

nike one doesnt have thermoguard i dont know about the adidas bag
adidas bag is nice IMO

 

[Bundey]

757tennis, which one do you have, the Nike Sport Super 6-Pack or the Nike Sport 6-Pack?

 

[lucu]

adidas doesn't have it either.
babolat, wilson has it.

Believe me. The adidas bag is really flimsy. It will look more like a duffle bag then a tennis bag. It's large but too large for keeping its shape without it being full. Also read the feedback on the TW website.

 

[Bundey]

Okay, I guess I won't get the adidas, because I don't think I would have enough stuff to store in it to let it keep its shape. Is the Nike bag firm?

 

[No Drop Shots]

Of all the non-racket brand tennis bags on TW, I think the Pacific bags looks the best?

i have seen the adidas one and it's nice. i own a different nike one and i will not likely ever buy a nike bag again.

 

[gerikoh]

wilson bags are better of the two

 

[choth21]

I have the Adidas bag and love it, but just note that the bag is HUMONGOUS. It could fit 12 racquets probably. So I just use my adidas bag for trips. When I play tennis locally, I use my old Dunlop bag.

if you want a bag that stay in shape, buy the babolat aero series.... it even comes with thermogut......
better quality than wilson

I think you should also but some Babloat AeroPro Drives rackets to go with your new AeroPro bag. Both the rackets and the bag are awesome, then you will be completely sorted out!!!!

I had a smaller Adidas bag a couple of years ago that was made of the same material as the current Barricade bag and the material doesn't hold up well. The bag will look pretty bad quite quickly.

Like you, I recently wanted to get a new bag and didn't like what was offered by my racquet maker (Yonex), so I set out to find a bag that was made by a company that isn't a racquet manufacturer. I ended up buying the Sergio Tacchini bag and I am loving. Very roomy, padded, nice zippers and the straps are as thick as seat belts. I'm sure that this bag would outlive any of the 3 other bags that I have had (Yonex, Wilson, and Adidas).

 

[LanEvo]

id get the addidas because addidas has always been better than nike to me in terms of durability and comfort for everything

Cool, which Sergio Tacchini did you end up getting?

 

[Bundey]

Now that I look at it I think that this bag looks pretty sweet. Anybody ever had experience with it?

Yeah, that's the one I got--awesome.

 

[CAM178]

No offense to TW, but I got my bag off of 'the auction site'. Had to, because it's not a US model. It's a white Wilson super-6 bag, and I get compliments everywhere I go. But TW knows that everything else I buy, I get from them!

 

[Bundey]

Yeah, that's the one I got--awesome.

Does it have a front small pocket, for small stuff?

Edit: also, how big is the bag. Could you possibly post a pic of it?

Sorry, can't post a picture, as I don't have a camera handy, but TW gives the exact measurements. The bag is like a super six--that is, while most six packs have two main compartments, this bag has three. There is a smaller pocket on the side of the bag, two racquet compartments on the outside of the bag that give the bag structure, and a central pocket that has plenty of room for balls, shoes, water bottle, a towell, and a full change of clothes.

Another thing that might not be apparent from the picture--the backpack straps are on the side of the bag rather than on either the top or bottom like most bags. With bags that have the straps on the top you get the handles digging into your back, when they are on the bottom, dirt from the courts can transfer onto the back of your shirt.

Are the backpack straps connected to it, or can you take them off? I really think this is the bag I'm gonna get. thanks for pointing it out to me! :grin:

They are connected, but they can be tucked away in a zippered compartment.

I love Nike but I'd buy the Adidas bag.

Close thread, I'm getting the Tacchini!
