I have an AMF 4-ball bag and it's great. It's an upright 2x2 bag, not one of the new style inline bags. Before that I had a 3-ball Storm Streamline and it held up very well for several years before I sold it to a teammate.

Your right pnj1967. KR bags are the best on the market. The special edition series has a five year warranty. KR makes all of Brunswick bags as well as thier own bags.

Ebonite tour IV is the best bag on the market, it may cost more but has the best balance of any inline bag I have purchased. I like the Hammer inline if you can't afford the Ebonite. The Ebonite even comes with a lock to keep people out if want to use it, very durable.

Along with pnj, I like my option 3-4-5. KR Strikeforce makes a version for Visionary and Brunswick, I believe.

Hi Shane, I also have the Storm thunder. I bought it 7 years ago and it is still going strong. Up and down many stairs, been dragged through airports, took the best beatings from airport baggage handlers, boxed and shipped UPS a couple times and my many nights of throwing my bags into the trunk after lots of bad nights of bowling. The bag is just indestructable. Three big wheels Hard molded plastic side handles, very good telescoping handle and more pockets than you will need for any stuff you want to drag along.

I totally agree with T-Bone here. I have had a Storm Rolling Thunder for approx 6 years subject to many of the same conditions he describes and have not had a single problem with it to date.

I wouldn't make any quick decisions until you check out the TourIV by Ebonite, not everyone can afford it but it is the best made bag.

I would check out Bags made by Elite. You can check a 3 ball bag out on Bowlersparadise.com.

Worst advice ever. I have 2 Elite triple platinum bags & 2 of their deuce 2 ball rollers sitting broken in my garage right now. I bought them from Elite with one of my discount cards & sold them on Ebay. they were all back within 2 weeks. Both of the deuce rollers had one of the axles snap. Sent them back to Elite & they did send me new ones. Sent the lady her replacement & she was sending it back within 2 days. SAME PROBLEM. Not worth the time & effort to keep sending these things back & forth so, I just gave up.

Both of the triple platinum bags have very weak zippers, one I sold on ebay... it came back & i had to refund the guy. The other one I kept, & it was broken within 3 mos. Horrible build quality on these bags... I learned my lesson the hard way.

Man, and I was just thinking about getting one of those 2-ball Elite Platinum bags in 2 months. Didn't think they were made that poor.

I have a KR Strikeforce 3-ball bag that I've had for almost 2 years and it's still going strong. It's a little difficult to steer going up and down stairs but it's very durable and alot of pockets to put equipment in. I like mine enough to keep for another year or so and just use it as my tounament bag.

This is the bag I use and I really like it. Also, I had an older model that had the handle break off (my fault lifting the bag up over a curb by the retractable handle). I brought the bag into K&K here in Vegas and they gave me the newest model and took care of returning the old one under warranty.

So, the warranty was good (and props to K&K for great customer service). And.... I have had no problems with the replacement and am very happy with the way it handles.
