@@Wolfchaser69 yea all of them have side pockets that can hold a smaller jacket or hoodie

@@JustDisc definitely a lot of similarities, but don't think a direct copy. Lots of disc golf bags share similarities. Thanks for checking the video out.

Glad I could help!

Thanks for the kind words!

I've tried it, just doesn't seem to hold it as well as some of the others. I wish they made the hip pouches a little bit larger for phones.

I did purchase both, however I already sent one to a friend. It would be very difficult to compare 2 bags if I didn't have possession of both. Hope you found the video informative

@@codywaldron86 I'm not watching for any reason to buy a bag I just watch what I can when I can't play it .. I don't even carry a bag no more just a anax and putter the star colt is a great hybrid

@@codywaldron86 i only bought the troopers when they cost 60$ max . Not used . I took have many 180 to my count but not on walls in cheep bags and lightweight. The plastic wins games not the bag

@@codywaldron86 for entertainment and wow 😲 people have spent a lot into this game. .I trade found discs for new ones at the local shop . I'm not playing daddy on the course finders keepers.. I have spent about 600 on the eagle envy pitch and jawbreaker zflx molds.. I feel I spent a lot in 10 yrs like 2 k. But most of that was on water food and gas . I've probably spent 1500 in 10 yrs and then watch these videos like holy hell

@@codywaldron86 are you a pro . Do you need that certain disc to assure your money win. Or just toss a driver around 11 speed and a go to putter that can flex a mid flick as well . Your have more fun then having the same flights in different manufacturers. You don't need a D2 when your realm. Or Zeus , raider or time lapse

The lore straps also sit up of the ground as well. Yes being made in the USA is a big benefit.

Glad to help and thanks for the kind words!

This Rufus is the double convertible. I've had the regular runs of Rufus and was not a fan.

The pockets are pretty big. I think it could fit a hoodie along with a 32 oz. Might be tight, however there are also pockets on both sides, so could do drinks on one side and hoodie on the other.

My buddy loves his Berg bag, much it's too big for me. I wish the lore had a dedicated cellphone pocket like the berg or the legend.

I have owned many Pound bags, the double convertible Rufus is the best

Same here, i tried a buddies lore 2 and it just didnt sit well on my back felt kind of awkward fully loaded… I have a thorpe and its the comfiest bag i own so going off of that ill probably pick the rufus as well

I noticed the main might hold 1 or maybe 2 more, big difference is up top though.

Have a Link based on these reviews and it’s been great! They have sales from time to time so keep an eye out!

Just picked up a lore 2.0, been loving it so far.

it comes with a drink divider? Didn't see that when I just ordered it. Came here to find a divider for it. Lol

@@martinferenc1854 in the side pocket it has a little divider you can use to split the pocket in two. The insulated drink divider I have in the video is from a Pound bag.

@@codywaldron86 thanks for responding. I'm hyped for a new bag.

I will say I have always loved the pounds, especially the Rufus, but man the lore has me second guessing. If they made the Rufus with zip up full pockets, but with side storage, I would be in love. I know that sounds like the Thorpe, but the lore definitely gets that part right.

is the rufus noticeably more comfortable?@@codywaldron86

I was super shocked by the lore. I'm quite happy with it. I have a lore 2.0 on the way so I'll be reviewing it soon!

@@codywaldron86 That's good to hear! 😁

Have not had any problems with sagging. My buddy uses a berg bag and they hold so many discs! That's way too many for me, but great for people who carry a lot.

I will definitely never throw all these! Help me!

@@codywaldron86 🙏🧔 Lmao just slow dowwnn .. I know the discs are cool and they will non stop keep making prints . Only grab the ones that will never come around again like a 2022 esp full color foil grateful Dead ledgestone buzzzz Or 20yr old stuff that has a patent # on it.. Prototypes .. If you like a certain disc color do what I did .. Make full set bags of all matching plastic and put the first runs in them the top discs. Use them.. only wall the " one of a kinds" Humans and dogs love the disc I've been playing 10 yrs.. Once you have a set bag with not over lapping flight numbers you have a tacky and premium plastic putter. My bags all have a envy /Luna Or roach / pure Overstable to stable.. Then once your bags you make can take on any course it's just what color you feeling that day.. I have 7 bags fully made. All troopers ..with slight mods I made myself to hold a mini and extra disc in the front.. no tip over as well... Then after you read all this get your bags in check..you can then start to trade them off for better or one of a kinds .. your empire won't fall it will get better and the discs you collect will be worth more then you haveing 26 destroyers ..🏋️🧑‍🎤 you got this Find the BEEF flight number zone money stamp .. that is the diamond in the rough..

Mine is still looking perfect. I'm very happy with it. Sorry it is leaning. Levi is a great owner and will continue to take care of you.

I love it. Definitely my favorite bag so far. I've used Thorpe's and Legends and both were too much for what I needed. This is the perfect of discs and storage for what I need. Comfortable and light, but durable. Definitely worth the price.

I don't have them both anymore, but would gladly give you my rundown on both.

Not really unless it's an extreme angle or if I don't put the bag down straight.

Squatch Lore is basically a clone of this

​@@KhufuhKI haven't tried one yet, be seen very similar

@neonnight123 Surprisingly it's one of the cheapest Pound bags. Was even cheaper than the Rufus Deluxe. Definitely worth the price!

@@KhufuhK Its not even close to the Rufus. The only similarity is that they are around the same size, which is a shit agument since tons of bags are that size. Its a smaller Squatch Legend, thats literally the goal when they designed it. Also, it was designed before the Rufus even came out...

@@ludvig7473 what was designed before the Rufus came out?

Where do you put your phone? That's my problem!

@@codywaldron86 the two zip pocket. I honestly have a small bag attached to the ring in the side for utilities and sunglasses.

@@JayDeeTee do you have the new version or older ones? I heard the new ones have bigger zipper pockets

@@codywaldron86 bought it like 3 months ago. It fits an iPhone 14 Pro and my whale sack

I'm 6'5 and use a Rufus. Fits just fine. Yes it is a smaller bag, but definitely usable.

Yes unfortunately with the many benefits of soft bottoms, the major drawbacks I see are ground stability and moisture. I definitely think the negatives are worth it, but it is annoying to have it topple over. Keep playing with the weight shift and see if you can find that sweet spot. As for chest straps, I never use them and also find them highly annoying on disc golf bags. I remove them as well since they serve no purpose for me. Thanks for the kind words and enjoy your new bag!

I have it and hate it falls over all the time. The top pockets are also too slick to hold them in there and the foam siding “boards” are super thin and dont support an upright direction and stability very well. For a $200 bag kinda disappointing.

Same. The Pound Rufus has ended up being the bag for me. I love everything about it so far.

Thanks so much for the kind words and sub! As far as which quiver system I like, that's a toss up because I love the ease of the rebel/link type system that faces you and slides in and out. However, the Rufus has the top load when seems more stable, just doesn't hold as much. If I was making an investment in a good bag that would last for a while, it would be the Rufus Deluxe. The quiver system is still super well made, the inside can hold 15ish discs, the side pockets are fantastic, and it's so durable. I love the Upper Park Rebel and Squatch Link, but I think the Rufus is just a slightly superior bag. The ballistics materials are awesome, but even the regular material is top-notch. Let me know what you decide to get and please let me know if you have any other questions, I would love to help.

@@codywaldron86 Thanks for the reply! That totally makes sense. Still weighing my options and thinking about how I would be using these bags day to day. A Rufus would basically be an amazing upgrade in every way to what I currently have while the Link is completely new case. I checked out your other videos as well, they are good! Keep up the good work :) When I finally make a decision I'll let you know!

I have had both. If I had to pick one, it would be the Rufus. Like you said, love the open concept of the Link, but the usability and durability of the Rufus is bar none. There are things I like about both bags (Link- ease of disc availability, interior pockets, look; and Rufus- comfortably, durability, and form factor), but if it comes down to one, I'd pick the Rufus 9/10 times.

@@codywaldron86 thanks! Does the Rufus actually seem more durable? I’m assuming it probably is but I can’t tell by how much since I’m assuming the link is still very durable. Did you find the Rufus quite a bit more comfortable? And is the link noticeably larger? It seems minimally larger based on the specs. I guess I’m trying to figure out if the Rufus deluxe is really worth an extra $100+ bucks haha.

@@sealteamz6 link seems durable from the limited time I've had it, but I have never had a single problem from any pound I've owned. Pounds are so comfortable, best in the business as far as I'm concerned. My next bag will be a deluxe Rufus. The extra pocket, Velcro, and colors seem easily worth it.

​@@codywaldron86hey I appreciated your thoughts on these two bags and now the Rufus as well. I was wondering what you think about the lore? Are you going to borrow or buy one for testing?

I'm 6'5 and 240 lbs and I don't think it looks out of place at all. It's not a small bag that will look out of place, just a tad more compact than the Legend. I think it would fit you well!

I thought the pinch was the smallest bag they offered. I know their new pinch bag seems significantly larger than older runs, but haven't had a chance to see the new ones.

@@codywaldron86 The pinch will hold around 30 discs depending on how many are thicker putters/approach discs, and more like 25 comfortably. (3 in putter pouch, 4 on each side, 2 in the front flap, and 20ish in the center depending on how much room is wanted for a drink/misc.). The shift does well with around 13ish (2-2-2-2 in the sides, and 3-1-1 in in the putter pouches, with plenty of center room for storage and the big drink holder.)

I have the link and I love it. Since I don't carry a ton of discs, I actually just use the top disc pocket for my towel (so I don't have to constantly attach/dethatch it) which actually helps with the tipping over as this makes it a lot less top heavy.
