V2 user here, I backed the bag on Kickstarter when it launched and have no regrets at all. I stuff my bag to the fullest and have always used the hooks to latch them onto the wires. Initially I was worried the bag might tear, but it is holding up great. I do agree with you on the colour though, the black looks the best. Apart from the hefty price , it is an all around great bag, better than other branded tennis bags.

The 254 Euro starting price (207 for the backpack !!!) becomes 307,50 with your 10% discount and shipping (to Italy). I don't doubt the bag's quality at all, but it just makes no sense TO ME to spend this much on a tennis bag, considering I'm neither a coach or an athlete, so MY needs - as far tennis bags go - can be easily covered with any 90ish€ standard 6x tennis racket brand bag. It's as if I bought a Prada tux just to go to the farmers' market. Thanks for sharing your review, though, it looks pretty honest and certainly informed and competent. (btw, I quite like the stone-grey/lava color)

Fantastic bag and review Ashley! Very well thought out in design, and love the drinks/ sausage roll cooler!!😂 The hanging clips are a simple but great idea, along with the split racket compartments. Alas a little pricey to justify a purchase at the moment! I’ll have to pimp up my black Wilson bag with some hanging clips, and my sausage rolls will remain crushed! 😒😬

Hey, yes, you’ll see it at the end of the video… I love it! And for the Saber, yes it does but some of my players still love the challenge that the pointer brings (definitely doesn’t feel as good as the Saber though!)

While it does make more sense to have the flat part of the bag against your back, it gets your clothes dirty as it’s the bottom of the bag. Question about size: is it the same size as traditional x9 bags?
@TheTennisMentor3 ай бұрын
You’re right, if you lay it on the floor (I don’t) but if you do you can switch the straps to the other side (I saw Jonas from TennisNerd does that. The dimensions are 30” x 14” x 12” (very similar in size to the Babolat Pure Aero Rafa 6pk)

@TheTennisMentor exactly! The thing is, I just changed my old Youtek Head bag after 10 years, and I was looking at this bag too till I found the 2022 Djokovic 12R Monstercombi Speed bag for £80. I still think this is the better bag but not 2,5 times better than a limited edition Head bag that also have some great features!
