a Vise Triple Roller Bowling Bag, which is 4.2 pounds, and I am
taking three 15 pounders. This bag does not take shoes, which I will
be taking in a seperate bag. Question, any one use this bag and how did
it hold up, and two, did it make it under the 50 pounds. I will be weighing
all three individually, prior to trip.
Thanks,

I did use a Hammer three ball in-line bag with only two balls in it and I was asked both times I checked in, "How many balls you have in there?" When I answered "two" they said, "Good, you can't send three." I said, "Even if the total weight is under the 50 lb. limit?" and they said "only two."
So, it might be worthwhile just asking your carrier if that is something they will enforce or not. I flew with United.
Hope this helps. Scott

I just looked on Continental.com and it stated you can
have 3 in the bag, under 50 pounds, and I will definately
print it out so I can show the people at the luggage check-in
that its states this on their web site. The Vise bag is 4.2 lbs,
but my manager got a reading of under 4 lbs from the one in the
shop.
Thanks for the input !

fine. I am hoping that the bag doesn't get too beat up, but it was a
50.00 investment, and it has a strap if the wheels get messed up.

I'm flying Continental as well (this weekend as a matter of fact) and also have the Vise bag. You shouldn't have any problems as the total weight is slightly under 50 lbs.
Have a safe trip!
