Dynamic Discs Commander Backpack

[davetherocketguy]

Ok, I don't know much about this bad boy other than what is on this page:

https://allthingsdiscgolf.com/dynamic-discs-previews-three-new-bags-and-more-for-2016/

Coming sometime this spring. Anyone have any idea what the MSRP will be? Colors it will come in? More pictures?

I don't know why but this is the first backpack I've looked at and thought, "Wow I could buy that."

It says 119.99 on the page. It looks like a sorta stripped down Flak X to me. Though the Flak X is a nice bag to imitate.

Dunno. They're all looking nice.

I found out that our local shop has ordered them but they aren't in yet...can't be long now!

Very boxy looking. With the shape/configuration of the water bottle and gear pockets, it looks like someone just started with a fade tourney bag and took the putter pocket off the front and moved it above the discs to make a backpack frame

I haven't purchased a name-brand disc golf backpack yet but I'll probably end up getting this one. Good price point, nice-layout, seems to be like decent material, etc.

 

[Um...]

I think this bag will be very popular and sell well for this exact reason/observation.

I'm not the biggest fan of front-loading bags and I've (for a long time now) said that someone (other than Gateway and MR) should make a reasonably sized, top-loading, backpack styled bag. Make it like a traditional top-loader, but make it a better fit as a backpack as opposed to using quad straps which cause the bag to ride lower on the back. Easy to get to discs, comfortable, but still with reasonably functional storage space.

I think this one will be a winner.

I had a gateway standard backpack bag before I bought my gripeq bag, and agree with all the things you said here. I love how they made this one a top loader. The one thing I don't like about my gripeq - the first run model - is that the discs at the very ends of the main compartment are difficult to get in and out.

I seriously would consider this bag if I was to do it all over again.

I have a ranger that's always been too much for me and this looks like it'll be a great replacement. I'm going to wait til they release it in 7,236 different colors so I can really choose the one that I want.

Here's a look at the Commander from DD's Facebook (not sure how to embed?)

I'm for it.

Picked one up from Disc Nation literally 10 minutes after they unpacked them. I've played 2 rounds with it. It's lighter than my Ranger. The same amount of discs(22-4 putters, 5 mids, and probably too many drivers/fairways) fit better. It's very easy to pull a disc out. A little bummed about there not being a rain fly. But where I play, we rarely get rained on anyway. The straps are wider and more comfortable than my Ranger also. Sits up on my stool really well. The vertical pockets are suprisingly roomy. I had sunblock bug spray an extra towel, and a baseball in one side. Wallet, markers, extra minis, and a couple cliff bars in the other with plenty of room for more stuff. Really like it.

 

[Buiscutboy]

You fit 22 in your Ranger? I can only fit 18 :l 3 putters, 5 mids, 6 fairways, 3 "control" and a utility.

I do like how these look more than the Ranger. Especially the open disc place. No more squeezing Vipers and Comets in...

But. Ranger is good enough.

If I didn't have a Rebel, this would be an immediate purchase.

Considering selling my gripEQ 0 run for one of these. Something a touch lighter and a bit smaller capacity would be great for me.

I wish the main storage had a divider so I could carry a 12-14 disc layout...

I love top loading designs but I want something smaller.

It does come with a divider
