Maybe you should get your hands on a nut sac. I have only seen pictures of nut sacs, but have never held one. I have seen other people carry nut sacs and I have got to say that they look pretty small.

I've tested out the Nut Sacs for a day and they're nice for a quick casual round. It fits about 7 disc(4driver/1mid/2putters[xd]). The only problem I've had with it was it had little storage for key/phone/wallet/snacks. I was told I can sew on more pockets
I now own the Revolution Deluxe Mini. This is the best investment i've ever made on a bag+Phenix Quad Shock. It fits 10-18 disc and has 2 bottle holders

As awesome as the Revolution bags are, I'd suggest checking out the gorilla boy bags, I've only heard good things about the bags from folks who have bought them, they're also about 20-30% cheaper. If I hadn't gotten an Innova bag for Christmas two years ago, that's probably what I would've gotten.

Yay another vote for the deluxe mini. I love mine, but I agree with Ebee on the putters not fitting very well in the side pockets. I just keep my putters in the main compartments and keep drivers I don't throw as much in the side pockets. Love it though

I use this for my casual rounds:
http://everestbags.com/item--Everest-Shoulder-Bag--50.html

Fits two putters in one pocket and five drivers in the other. Inexpensive. Mass durable.

Everest makes many other great bags for various purposes. They do not market disc golf bags specifically but I have repurposed a few different models of their bags and they work very well.

Gorilla BOY hands down... My fiance has the silver back for 12-14 discs, the storage space is way better than the 3 innova bags I had before touching Gorilla Boy. I liked my fiance's bag so much I ordered the KONG and carry up to 22-24 discs in there and still ahve space for two 32 oz'ers and pockets for everything i need in a round, insane, I havent looked into a REVO bag but I think Gorilla has more storage space...

And as long as you are thinking about bags Murray, you should look at your personal e-mail, your inbox on this forum and your voice mail on your cell phone. In other words, you need to get in touch with me as I am really not humored by this situation at all any longer.

Gorilla Boy bags are quality, no doubt about it, but the Revo has more storage space. I had a Kong and a Carolina, and ended up settling on the Carolina, the main reason being for the bigger pockets. Honestly, I thought the Kong was lighter and rode better...it was really tough decision, and though I was sad to see the Kong go, I'm glad it at least went to good hands.

I've had a Revo Carolina, and a standard mini, I went to the Delux Mini and it has been my mainstay. GB bags are nice, no doubt, but I originally went with Revo and stuck with Dave and the gang.

Cindy-did you trade out your Carolina??

No I am keeping it to use in the fall and winter when I need to carry more cloths like raingear and such. I will also most likely be using the Caorlina when I play Trojan in the Rose City open, so I can carry all those extra discs.

Same for me on my Deluxe Mini. Some of the other design features of the bag have been getting on my nerves though. Plus, I've been waiting since at least February for a replacement under warranty due to the flimsy secondary quad attachment points blowing out, and the wait grows tiresome.

So I have a Phenix Streamline on order, which is about the same size, and we will see which bag ends up winning in a head to head shootout. After that the loser will probably be up for sale in the trade/sell forum.

Geezo, my memory is useless. Who sold me my red Revolution bag? It's working out great. So much better than the cheap ones I had before (constant repairs). The only bitch I have with the Revo is the huge drink holders with the narrow strap for a bottom. I drink out of glass only, and even if the bottle is big enough to not fall through (like any 12 ounce beer bottle), setting the bag down on a rock or concrete can break your glass. I got a water bottle that fits the diameter but to protect the bottle's bottom, I cut a plug of 3/4" plywood with a bandsaw and put a matching disk of mouse-pad on top of that. Works well.

Also, for the 12 ounce bottles (and cans) there is "The Fridge, the freezable drink cooler." It's a beer cozy with blue ice in it. It just fits the Revo drink holders and 12 ouncers.

The system's not broken...

That was me. Glad to hear it's working out. Good bag, just bigger than I wanted.

Yes, that is one of the little things that bugs me about my Revo bags. It would be so easy to make the bottle holders with a better bottom, too. But the 12oz cans and bottles at least do fit in the slash pockets right behind the insulated drink holder.

I have two bags that I use regularly. The revo mini is awesome for casual rounds. I never need more than 10 discs and a bottle of water. Really light and really durable.

The Revo Carolina is my tournament bag. Super awesome. Room for lots of backup discs, two putters, two water bottles, tons of storage, place for an umbrella, and very comfortable with Phenix quad shocks.
