Yes I know there's all kinds of threads like this out there, I know I can look up all kinds of info on my options. My response to all of that is I'm lazy and it's much easier for those of you who have bags and are more familiar with the ins and outs of them to suggest what would suit my needs best.
Now I know I'm going to get a lot of this is my bag or whatever and that's fine but try to keep in mind the things I'm about to put out there as what I care the most about.
#1 - Comfort and weight - I have back issues so my main concern is not only the comfort of the bag but the weight. I don't carry all that many discs usually and I don't put a bunch of stuff in my bag. I want lightweight and comfy more than anything. I wish more companies would put out there the exact weight of their bags.
#2 - Quality - I'm rough on my **** so I want it to last and be able to handle being dropped, thrown around and whatever else I feel like doing to it.
#3 - I carry at the extreme maximum for some competition scenarios 19 discs which includes two putters that would presumably go in the putter pocket. So I only need a bag that carries at most 17 in the main compartment. However on the regular I only carry about 12 discs or even less depending on the course so the ability of the bag to carry less discs and not have them jumble all around is key.
#4 - Again I don't carry a bunch of crap with me. I'll usually have a couple towels, a mini, one slender water bottle, some pencils/sharpie, my phone/keys and possibly an umbrella. I don't use a stool or have a bunch of other stuff I want to cram in there so a ton of storage isn't really my concern.
