Bag prices!
« on: July 17, 2008, 06:56:13 AM »
How is it that a three ball rolling tote can cost 45-69 dollars when i can get a softball bag at Dick's Sporting goods for under 30 dollars that has a million accessory pockets!???? What is the deal!?

No way a softball bag will be heavy enough material to carry bowling balls in it. IMO, just spend a few extra $$ and get a bowling bag..

It's the construction of the bowling bag.  The bowling bag is designed for the equipment.  A softball bag will work but is just designed for stuff to be tossed into.  Sure you can buy a bag cheaper and if it works great.  If not it's a pain in the neck.

Just try throwing you bowling balls into your softball bag. I don't think it would hold 45lbs.

Does the softball bag have a way to keep the balls from rolling around inside?  Are the accessory pouches large enough to hold a pair of shoes?  Will it keep your balls from crushing whatever's in the accessory pockets?  Is the handle sturdy enough to support carrying 50+ pounds of stuff?

Manufacturers making obscene profits on poorly made goods?

How can this be?

I am going to purchase one of these softball bags and give it a try. I think what I am going to do is take some of the packaging foam from out computer boxes at work and cut it up and make some dividers for the bag. I will take some pictures and post them once I am done!

This was a joke. Maybe not a good one. But the point was you get what you pay for.
