thanks a lot guys!

2 ball tote- Columbia. Holds alot of extra stuff, balls and shoes
3 ball- haven't had one
4 ball- Storm Streamline-slime, lotta room, and rolls easy. I had a Columbia and it was waaay to bulky. The Storm is pretty easy to put in and out of a car, and store at home too.
Those have been the one's I've had the best luck with.

I am definitely a tote owner, haha.
My best tote hands down is the columbia tote+ (green black). Cant think of the name but it has the X-design on the side. Has solid rubber feet, good strap, boxed ball frame, and a cool design with the hand strap. Buy those.
Seeming cheap, my brunswick totes have always held up the best besides the one columbia design. I still use my 9 year old quantum tote to this day.
Storm totes being third, but the zippers would break and then the whole strap snapped, stupid thing was stitched on too.
My old old hammer tote was garbage.
The Ebonite totes were great except for zippers.

For totes, I never had any issues with the Track ones I had over the past 2 years when I was on staff, and since leaving and going with MoRich, I am using the Vise 2 ball totes plus that hold shoes, etc, and they are just as good but with one extra that I REALLY like...the clear top so you can see what balls are in what bag!!!!
I also have a 3 ball Vise roller, and while they are a steal from Buddies for around $50, they ONLY hold 3 balls, NO EXTRAS..NOTHING ELSE....but the clear top and a 3 ball bag for $50...pretty cheap!

Who actually manufacturer's the bags? I doubt any ball manufacturer actually makes bags. True or false?
KR is on manufacturer that makes bags and ball mfg's. have KR slap their name on them.
To me it's not Track, Storm or Vice......it's who actually made them to start with......yes????

The Storm rollers 2,3,4 are very well made and durable and more storage than all the others. I have the Roto Grip model of the 4 ball roller 4 years and counting up and down 14 stairs 2x's per week. Also have had the other 2 ball and 3 ball in Storm also great but sold them, the 3 ball rollers are too bulky to heave in and out of your car. Just purchased my wife an AMF 2 ball roller very nice lots of storage and features. Both have the 5 year warranty. As for totes like Vise and K&R I just use them to store balls though as I fill up all the storage pockets on my roller and just won't leave home with out any of it.

ROTO GRIP KING OF THEM ALL

The best totes use to be Columbia. No equal. However, I think they are not rugged as they use to be. I say Vise or Columbia now.
-
If KR is the only one that makes thier own bags, mabey that's a good thing. Personal experince from me they are poor quality.
I'd give props to both the Storm Streamline and the Columbia one.

My Vise 2 bag shoulder is tearing apart at the bottom. That lasted a whole 6 months. I hated the bag anyways, not enough space in it to put anything and the stupid divider in the middle doesn't stay up. Got it off eBay for 15 bucks, you get what you pay for I guess.
I need to find a 2 bag shoulder bag that is more durable and has a decent amount of space to put things.
