I decided to switch away from using BBE this year since my wife is checking her luggage, and I get a free bag anyway. I may hate myself later, but it saves $150 and pays for my lesson...
I used to take balls in checked baggage years ago, and know that they can be manhandled. Looking for current packing suggestions and wondering if there are any really good options for travel bags, which always seemed to be lacking in the past. I plan on taking three balls (3x15) plus bag = close, but safe on 50lbs...
All input appreciated.
