Do most people stuff their bags full of paddles? I carry 2 paddles with me to the court. The rest of my bag is usually filled with spare clothes, towels, balls, snacks, and other miscellaneous items. I know paddle reps carry a bunch.
Thank you for this review, it's super helpful! Since this video, Gearbox has updated their court backpack - wondering if you've got your hands on it and if it seems as well-made and versatile as the older version.
I just messaged the CEO, and he said, "Yes, it's definitely durable! Changes include new handle, flip down base for stability, web inside front pocket to keep items secure, and added a zipper to open the side pocket both ways."
Ideally, I have two of my primary paddle. Then I often carry paddles I am currently reviewing or those I recently reviewed for folks to try on the court.
I have had the Onix bag for over a year. I don't like it at all. The main reason. No water bottle pouch. Between games I don't want to dig into the main compartment. There are lots of outside pockets but they are all too small. The insulated one can barely hold any snacks and the upper ones will not fit my sunglasses or even my phone. It can't zip up if you do use it anyway then when you fling it on your shoulder your stuff flys out. Yup I cracked my phone screen once and lost my sunglasses. Because the shoe compartment is on the bottom when your bag is sitting up stuff gets lost deep around the edges around the shoes. I lost my watch for a week not realizing. And the shoes are annoying to take in and out. I really tried to like this bag because of all the great reviews but in the end it was just too annoying for me.
Thanks for your review. I'm looking for a bag that could hold a small (six-pack) cooler, measuring 9.5"x7.5"x7". Do you think the Gearbox bag's main compartment is big enough for that? The TMPR bag looks like it would do the job.
This is a really good review on Pickleball Backpacks. Thanks for reviewing the bags. This has been very helpful.

Since I review paddles, I bring extra apples to share with others.
Great video. What is that clip holding your sneakers together? I need that! Thanks

Is there a link where I could purchase? They now have a newer model that doesn’t have a weather protective area to put paddles.
I’m referring to the Gearbox
@@mgtennis00 I only know what you can purchase the newer ones: www.gearboxsports.com/pickleball_en/bags.html
Dude! Why you carrying so many paddles?? You're not an octopus!

@@PickleballLibrarian That’s exactly what an octopus would say…

I think a water bottle pouch should be a standard item!

Yes, I think both of those bags can do that.
