Fusion Bag Review or Sorry Gorilla Boy

[MarkDSM]

Ok so I have way more rounds on the bag now. So here's what I've noticed after about 50 rounds.
!

50 rounds with a beast of a bag in a month and a half. getting in shape for a career as infantry?

imho, mix in some light bag lower carry rounds

You know I tried that. I found I was actually less tired at the end of a round even with the big bag loaded than with a smaller bag for two reasons.

1. The seat. I can sit at will even if its only for a second, makes a huge difference. Also, in order to sit I have no extra gear ( a stool) to bother with, it's built in.

2. I don't have to bend all the way to the ground to pick the bag up like I do with a standard shoulder type bag. This really adds up throughout a round or especially multiple rounds in a day.

So as the rounds continue to pile up. So does the wear. Straps seem to be doing just fine. The bottom of the bag is starting to show some wear. The protective tabs that cover the main wear points are about gone. Now if I was a one or two round a week guy this would not have happened for a couple of years probably. I play as much as I can depending on weather and that's usually 5 to 10 rounds a week. So I saw on another thread somewhere someone plasti-dipped the bottom of a bag to negate this type of wear. I will likely do this pretty soon. Check back for updates from time to time. Maybe I'll grab a ZUCA LG to go with it too.

Surely you can find a Chinese ZUCA ripoff to complete the set. I believe in you!

I am the same though I do not have that bag rather the converted or modified bag of a Vertex Angler Backpack, with a seat on it. When the bag itself on the seat thing dies I have a back up bag that I will use for the seat ready to go modified to fit the seat on the bag. The whole bag is about $85 with the modifications of a stroller bottle holder to the bag for second bottle holder first is a water proof stuff dry sack and about $1.00 of safety pins crimped shut as well as some zip ties to keep the stroller bottle holder attached to the bag.

My dad has a FLW Walmart fishing saddle bag with taller seat with more a single strap that he uses for disc golf since 2006 or so. before that he had a small starter bag that was getting too small for him to use. I looked online for that saddle bag so I could add a smaller next up from a starter disc golf bag to the underside have it hanging there for a second disc storage using one of the saddle bags for storage and get the Innova quad straps to see if they would work for the seat but they have stopped making my dads bag since 2000's sometime but I found my set up on Amazon.

Hey Casey. It's the pro model. No cooler.

Hey Casey. It's the pro model. No cooler.

Thanks. I have seen reviews that are positive for the Cooler model as it is one of the few models that has a drain port on the bottom for ice so one does not need to use the freezer packs or ice in a Ziploc Zipper Freezer type bag.

 

[DonJuanDeLaNooch]

Yeah that's cool. If I had known that about the drain might of gone with the elite. I immediately thought I wouldn't want a funky smelling thing as a part of my bag. Cuz I know I would wash it as often as my dg towels. Nevah!!

Yeah he back up for when my modified Vertex Angler Backpack part dies in the seat that come with it is the Athletico Power Shot Disc Golf Backpack I made so it can fit the seat from the angler has a side pocket that is a non drain cooler but all I might put as far as food stuff on that side that needs to be cold or tastes better cold is water/other drink. I might not use the cooler side for drinks if not my extra stuff fits in the other side as those side storage pouches are a bit skinny shape. The Athletico Power Shot Disc Golf Backpack has some bigger bottle holders for drinks.
