Octothorpe Redesign Series EP. 5: Prototypes V9 through V11
Episode 5 of our Redesign Series for the 2025 Octothorpe!
Stay tuned for the for a comparison video of the original Octothorpe vs this new design as well as a final Product video for the 2025 Octothorpe.
Though the Octothorpe has undergone a couple redesigns and many small tweaks over the last decade, it has gone relatively unchanged for the last 5 years. However, the way people use a disc golf bag, as well as Pound’s design capabilities have evolved over that time. Our goal with the new Octo was simple: update the design to better suit the needs of the modern disc golfer.

Here it is! This is the first introduction to the Rufus, our smaller backpack design. The first prototype of any product is always a little rough, and rarely represents the product’s final form. That’s definitely the case here, but we wanted to share the design process with all of you anyway because we know how much excitement there is about a smaller, and more accessible Pound Disc Golf backpa...
The pain of having just bought an Octo in 2024 and then seeing this series begin and seeing how cool the redesigns have been, cannot be overstated! Love my bag, literally told my wife “this is the last bag I will ever need” as a way of justifying the cost of a custom to her, and I truly believed it until these videos started coming out. I so wish I could get the new one.
As the Owner/Designer, that is honestly the hardest thing for me and I really struggle with disappointing people because I truly care about our customers. However, we do our best to make things backwards compatible, like the Caddy, and we don't want to stop innovating, so it's unfortunately unavoidable. Thank you for your support! And also, you made a SICK color combo!!
@ I’ll just have to bribe someone to mess mine up so I can convince her to let me get the new one, lol😂 And thank you, it’s been a blast and huge help getting back into tournaments
damnit, now I have to buy another pound bag lol.
Who needs to carry that many discs? Get a cart! Quality looks great!
Is the stool carry cord returning?
No, we decided to kill it because very few people used it.
the minute the custom opens back up....
👊
Please do a giveaway for a bag!
We will, stay tuned!
I love my Rufus, spend the extra money and treat yourself to the best in the business. Buy Pound!!!! Made in the USA!!!! Buy once cry once!!!!
🙌
now with the octothorpe being so big it feels like you need something between it and the rufus, i don’t carry that many discs and other gear but also have more than a rufus. This is why i feel stuck with the (other company) smaller bag
Tournament Rufus incoming ... stay tuned!
I think the redesign features are awesome, and I'm personally very excited. With the additional materials, will the stock Octo's come in at a higher price point compared to current Octo's? If pricing info isn't available for share at this point, I totally understand. Thanks!
Heck yeah! We've worked really hard to absorb all the rising material costs since the pandemic and are very happy to say we won't be raising the price this year - still $449.99.
@PoundDiscGolf Thank you!!
We need a doth savic review. He’s the final word.
He hasn’t reviewed a bag in years.😟
he also liked the original, so it’s not like this one is gonna be worse lol
can't wait for the customizer to go up! Are prices planned to be similar to the current octos?
Us too! We are going to raise custom pricing $50, so they'll start at $549.99.
@@PoundDiscGolf heck yeah - birthday gift to myself :)
@@BenSilber happy early birthday 😜
Great job on the redesign for both style bags! Dig the new insert for the main compartment, and the extra pockets in front.
Thanks, glad your digging it all!
Kind of bummed the series is over 😟
we're planning on several more series this year, so stay tuned!
@PoundDiscGolf what's rough eta on custom dectothorpes?
@@HammerDG next week ...
@@PoundDiscGolf ohhhh baby... I'm gonna be a very early buyer 😀
@@HammerDG 🙌
It’s great that you share the evolution process. Can’t wait to design my Octothorpe!
I have never bought a pound bag and have always used a squatch bag but after watching each of these videos going over the bag design process it has made me want to buy one more and more. I’m ready for when the new version releases.
Glad to hear it!
All the new updates are fantastic (especially the increased structure of the disc tray and side pocket insert), except for the Rufus-style putter pocket. I love the big rectangular putter pocket at the top of my Octothorpe. The Rufus putter pocket is the main reason I didn't get one for my girlfriend and got a Squatch Lore instead.
The putter pocket is Rufus-style, but definitely not the same. The internal construction is completely different, and has a foam bottom that keeps the discs from pinching together.
@@PoundDiscGolf Thanks for the response! Will the capacity be as much as 6-8 discs in the putter pocket?
@@nofightsnecessary no, that many discs causes the pack to be too top heavy - it will fit 5 like the current Octo.
Will you sell the disc tray insert for a Rufus too or is that too much R&D... I'd buy it!
Yes! It should be relatively easy to develop now that we've got the Octo version hammered out. Stay tuned!
As a regular cart user for my Octo, that tray will solve a huge issue. I'm just hoping shipping just the tray to Australia isn't going to bankrupt me.
The casual shade look was chefs kiss
Love the series, a giveaway of the proto bags would be awesome!
we'll definitely be giving some of them away ... stay tuned!

Always love backwards compatibility
Us too!
This series alone is winning me over
🙌
I have the same set up (with an octohaul) and use a small cookie pan at the bottom of my bag to do the same thing as the disc insert to stop the disc pinching that occurs with a cart.
Yes you identified the problem with a bag that hangs on a cart exactly. I had to cut inserts for my bag to support when I carted. A quality Tray is a great idea❤
🙌
To better understand the bags, are the main compartments on the octothorpe and octohaul the same size with the defining difference being the size of the side pockets?
Yep, the main compartments are the same size, but the haul pockets are bigger with compression straps and a sleeve at the back w/a snap.
@ Thanks for clarifying!
These improvements are making me want a new bag…wife isn’t going to be happy 😅
🤣
Definitely want that bottom piece for my current octothorpe! Makes it more waterproof too for the discs !
👊
Really excited for the new Octo Levi! Forgive me if you've answered this already, but any idea when the new version will be available for purchase? Thanks!
We're hoping to release the custom builder early next month, and have stock models available in March sometime.
@levibuckingham1566 Thank you!
@@levibuckingham1566is the price expected to go up or stay where v1 is currently?
Love this series, excited to put the tray in my original Octo!
👊
Will the disc retriever system fit a carbon fiber disc retriever?
Not sure, I've never used one before. Got a link?
I have greatly increased the stability of my Rufus by folding two microfiber towels into "tubes" and putting them at the very front and the very rear of the main disc storage. This cradles the discs into the pocket so they cant rock back and forth (because they are circular). The discs being held more stable keeps the bag upright, and the towels are soft, so they dont dig into your back at all, if anything they provide padding. An integrated tube of foam built into the bag could accomplish the same thing.
Stay tuned for the next video where we show you our $800 disc golf backpack!
😂
In all seriousness though, we've worked really hard to absorb all the rising material costs over the last 5 years and will not be raising the price on stock Octos which will stay at $450. We know it's a lot, but paying people a living wage with benefits ain't cheap.
@@PoundDiscGolf $450 for a bag this well thought out with y'all's warranty is so killer. Love your bags.
Really impressive bag. You should be proud.
Thank you!
I'm loving this series!
👊
You guys should do a giveaway with all the proto bags!
man...I can't wait to see the finished product! I absolutely *love* my current Octo, but I'm def. in for one of these when it's all done. The disc retriever system is great, that had definitely been a pain point for me before. Thanks for the behind the scenes look!
Heck yeah, glad you're digging the series!
Make the next proto in pink (and then sell it to me :)
Love us some hot pink!
v3 is a beaut of a bag.
Agreed! The Bobba nod is a classic combo for us at this point.
@ I got a Bobba Jerm and a matching Carlton. One of my favorite combos for sure!
Speaking from the experience I've had with my current bag (Prodigy BP1-V3), I would hope they either go with bumpers or rails instead of a full insert in the bottom. My bag has a plastic plate in the bottom and it bruised my lower back/tailbone after the first couple rounds. I got used to it after that, but had I paid full price for that bag I'd have been pissed. BP1-V3s retail for like $240 (nowhwere close to a pound), but I got it on Whatnot for like $50. I'm glad they're testing each modification.
I live in a place so muddy that I couldn’t imagine having a bag without rails. Definitely sacrifices some upright balance though. Probably makes the bag less comfortable due to the rigidness too. Sweet series. Love what you guys do.
The rainfly is perfect for muddy rounds while still being able to access all the pockets.
Hate these videos. I can already tell I'm going to drop $500+ on a new bag I don't need thanks to your bag porn 🙂
Love these videos!!!
👍
My DD bag has a structured bottom that I don’t notice. Not sure how they went about it but it’s a taller bag that is still super stable. I’ve never had it fall over on the course. So it’s possible. I also think you need a spot for an umbrella and (not or) a retriever. You need both. Also some bungees or some other way to carrying a stool would be nice. If you nail those things you will probably be my next bag when my current bag is ready for retirement.
Heard. Umbrella AND retrievers are covered in the next video ...
Love the new strap system as well. When it comes to my V2 vs my V3, I like my v2's straps all day every day. The v3 just doesn't feel right and the snaps are.. fussy. Also, something to think about with the top putter pocket. The older versions accept superclass discs. People still throw the condor and the zephyr. I usually throw my bunker busters up in the top pocket when I throw them because they don't fit in the bottom. Side to side in the putter pocket is quite okay to have. Especially for those who still bag the superclass stuff regularly or on occasions.
Glad to hear you're digging the new straps - the snaps could indeed be a bit fussy. I have a Makani, Polecat, Sonic, and Glitch in just 1 the new haul pockets!! I've been calling it the fun pocket and now have a blanket offer for anyone I play with to pull something out and throw it whenever they feel inclined.
I don't think the bumper to keep the discs forward is really a big deal and necessary with how these bags run. I"ve never thought to myself using my pound bags that my discs needed to push towards the opening of the pocket. Half the time I'm shoving someone elses disc or a lost and found disc right there in front of my discs anyways. or a putter that might need to be cleaned before i put it back in the top to keep it from dropping water/dirt/crap on everything.
with the additional 1.5" we added to the depth of the bag to make it more stable (and therefore added to the main compartment as well), it was definitely necessary to add the bumper because the discs were very sloppy front to back.
them front pen/pencil pockets. yesssssssssss
👍
Could you shorten the front to back width of the foam? I think doing this would still provide increased structure, but not actually come into contact with the wearer's back. If it could be stitched into place, that would ensure the shortened foam doesn't eventually slide forward until it makes contact with the person. Loving the new Octothorpe and appreciate Pound's hard work!
We tried that too lol. The back ultimately just collapses to whatever point the foam terminates. Keep watching though ...
I dislike the new putter pocket
