Disc Golf BackPack: Grip Alternative kids with Disc Golf BackPacks, but I didn't want to shell out $200 for a Grip Bag, so I went shopping! Having played rounds w/those carrying backpacks, I've seen some of the shortfalls of the grip bag. So far this bag is everything I could hope for. For me I like that the discs are at the top of the bag vs. the Grip bag where they are at the bottom.



Also, I read some of the other "homemade disc golf bag" threads and so far I have not been impressed b/c mostly I don't see myself involved in a PVC project. However, to achieve a true DG Utopian Experience, I might have to do a little engineering. But, when you are this close, it gets easy.



Let me start by saying, I am in no way related to this company nor endorse this product. BUT I'm willing to give it a shot and for $45 bucks vs $200 for a Grip, I can live with it.



First, it's made by Okuma and it's a Fishing Tackle Backpack.







To give you size perspective, here it is next to my Fade Tourney Bag.







All I did was fold down the flap and my discs fit perfectly, no frames, anything. I've got 14 discs in there, but I fit almost 20. Also, There's a zipper divider beneath the discs. Also, I plan to take it to the mall and get my name and PDGA # engraved on it.



Since it's a tackle box, you get 4 free plastic tackle boxes with it. I left them in there to support the discs....however, my utopia involves a cooler pack of sorts to hide beneath my discs. Which an average size lunch cooler fits perfectly.
