Well now you make me really curious as to what those gel straps are like compared to phenix quadshocks.

heres some pics of my bag
its a fade tourney, hat rack, courtesy of marshall street
bag's pretty much black and basic, and i'm sure yall seen pics of em before...
first i'd like to say, nice bag, really dig it
all my issues, or criticisms are minor and they are as follows
the rain flap i coulda gone without, wish it was fully removeable, or least not lined with mesh, i'd prefer to not roll it up, the mesh i fear will get hung up on thorns, twigs, etc, like my other bag did... almost has to be rolled up, and there its just unnecessary lookin, thought bout tucking it inside, but then the velcro is un usable
mini pocket dont fit my ace race mini... i have no other mini's.... tear
although the "rollcage" is sweet... i feel the need to "create" my own seperators or something, they work well on the ends, but not so well in the middle, but i think it'll "break i n" and loosen up
and the strap... junk... seriously, i wasn't expecting much... but i think i actually giggled when i seen it
i expected a quad hook up anyways - no biggie
for the dollar, i truly believe its the best you could get
i am completely satisfied, too many plusses to list
the bottom has a diferent material than the sides... tougher? never seen another fade bag in person so i have nothing to compare to, but it looks and feels durable,
i seen another thread here or on dgr about "coatings" to add to the bottom, i'm a sucker, so i went out and bought a can of plasti dip and coated my bag, friggin sweet heh
i play in alot of mud, and wanted an easy way to keep the bottom looking nice, easy to rinse, waterproof... and of course i'm a dork and just wanted to do something to my bag
so, here you can see my 2 diferent coats, first coat soaks in well, 2nd coat gave a nice layer of rubber across the bottom, i didnt mask it, i like the rough line look
heres the whole bottom, looks weird in the pic cause the flash, really flexible, it looks rippled, but its cause the bag is loose, if i put the cage back in it, it strectches flat, flattens out ... what ever
i'm sure it added some weight, but its on its way to being carried for many years to come
i'm currently brainstoming what else to do, already cut the zipper pulls off and replaced with leather pulls, they looked cheap, and i like leather, and they are completly silent now - no jingle
gonna create a raincoat for it, seen the fade straps condom, and i think thats a good "removeable" item i'd like to come up with,
also, gotta find a hook up on some straps... i'm not spending no 40 bucks on em, i'm currently lookin for "tool suspenders" as an option... maybe i'll post up a wanted ad in here... who knows, but i gotta get some type a harness
i'm tired of rambling, any questions, wanna point and laugh... have at it
I do have some heart issues and asthma. So this is what I use to get me thru 18 holes. Hold up to 20 discs and two water bottles.
I've been playing long enough to know exactly what I want in a bag.
First, I need handles, nice soft padded ones. This rules out all the disc golf bags right away.
I like to stay as light as possible when I disc golf, I'm not ever gonna drag one of those wheeled things around on a disc golf course, ever.
Shoulder straps are useless to me, I never shoulder my bag, I just always prefer to carry it with my non throwing hand.
Backpacks are for hiking, I have plenty, but taking it on and off every few minutes is a serious waste of time when disc golfing.
I only drink diet coke, and only from a bottle with a cap, so I dont need a fancy drink holder.
I carry a maximum of maybe 18 discs if I'm trying out new stuff, but usually I carry 12 or 13.
Like a doctor, I never bring my cell phone on the course, so I just need a small zip pocket for keys, a couple of paper towels, and some moleskin.
Thats it, my whole bag.
So I've always preferred simple duffel bags with nice cushioned handles.
Here is the latest, before I get it covered in spring mud this weekend, even though I already have some splashes on it from a practice round yesterday in the rain.
Its a Nike Extra Small Duffel, it weighs next to nothing when its empty, but I can easily carry my 13 discs, 2 liters of diet coke, a couple of towels, and my golf shoes in it.
XD sits in the solo pocket at one end, Aviar-X lives in the pocket at the other end.
Capacity is really not a problem if I wanted to push it, here's the bag with just under 40 discs in it.
15 bucks.
Yeah, Innova and Fade have the elastic but Gorilla Boy, Revo, Pheonix don't. That would be something that drives me nuts, pay $100+ for a bag to have my putter flop around the pocket and always worry about it falling out.
