Title: 3 ball bags
Post by: hallofamer on December 07, 2016, 04:42:07 PM
Which company makes the best quality 3 ball bag with shoe/accessory pouch or room for those built in? Either with retractable handle or not. Thanks.

I would say to look at either Storm's rolling thunder line or KR Strikeforce  triple bag line. Both have 5 year warranties, one in K/R has a 7 year warranty. I have 2 Roto Grip bags that I have had now for over 5 years, and am still currently using both. The only issue I have had is I needed  new wheel bearings, which were covered by warranty.

With KR taking over bag and other accessory production for the EBI brands there isn't a whole lot of difference on the market right now. It looks like Brunswick is using largely the same designs they did before the KR switch too. I think you can go with whatever one you think looks the best and pretty much have the same quality/pocket space as any other option.

For what it's worth Motiv is offering a $10-25 mail-in rebate on bags bought in December right not. The amount depends on which model you buy (3-ball tote, 2-ball roller, or 3-ball roller). Here's the link to it on their page:

With storm bags, they are built tough. But, the ball cups some times tend to wear out or have sharp edges that can scratch your ball.

The good thing about storm is their customer service. I had ordered ball cups to replace the ones in my four ball bag and 3 ball bag (separate occasions) without charge.

Also, as far as the wheel bearings, I have bearings from my RC hobby and used them for the wheels on these bags. I change them out when they start getting loud.

And with KR making majority of the bags now for most companies, just pick any design or color. I'm liking the KR bags right now over Storm.

I have the 3 ball bag from VISE. Two of them actually. Black and blue.
That bag is great. Just wish the wheels was slightly bigger.

I really lik the VISE 3 ball tote rollers, very compact, and lasts a long time.  Lots of colors and if you buy the shoe pouches separately, you can mix and match and make your own unique color combinations.  I also have the Storm 3 ball roller tote as well, and it comes with separate shoe nd accessory pouches.  Very well made as well.

Heavy duty material.
Dual(4) ball bearing wheels (5") for the most stable bag on the market.
