The BSI bags were ok, mine lasted me 3 yrs,my son used it for another year till the handle broke, but for the price, guess it wasn't too bad..

As for the gloves, all the ones I've used would wear out too fast.. Only one that lasted the longest for me was called the claw ? think thats what it was..Only place I've ever seen it before was on E-bay.. is where I picked it up at for under 20 bux..

good luck

I have the first 3 ball bag - $60 shipped.  Just received it yesterday, so I don't know about the longevity.  The "shoe" compartment requires the shoes to sit partially in the 3rd ball compartment - the shoe compartment bag will extend into the third ball if you are not carrying a 3rd ball.  My shoes (size 9) sit behind the 3rd ball.

For the price I guess you can't go wrong.  I have a feeling that I will have some issues with it once I start using it.  I rarely take 3 balls, but this bag will make it easier for the few times that I decide to take 3.  

If you are constantly taking 3 balls I would suggest the 3 ball caddy.

I also have the same glove.  I've been using it for about 2 years.  The stitching will eventually start to come apart.  I still use it and it doesn't bother me.

I went with the three ball caddy. Due to the car I have the deck lid will not allow the tall bag to slide under it. Plus I question how firm the top pocket is. So for 5.00 more I went with the caddy. Will be here next week.

stay away from the fast break 3. that bag will tip over everytime you set it up. the pocket in the front made mine tip over every time so i returned it and got a vise. vise makes the greatest bags. although i moved down to a 2 ball roller after 3, they also make a 3 ball roller. anything but the fast break and elite series. my elite handle broke within 2 weeks.

I have a BSI three ball roller.  It works
just fine.  The only problem with it, is
the buckles for the balls broke (I think
I dropped the balls on them though) and the
plastic ball cup scratched my balls.  So, I
bought some ball slings to put my balls in
when I go to bowling.

I bought the 3 ball caddy for $65 (used the Xmas15 code). Does anybody have this bag? What do you think of it?
