JOOLATour Elite Pro Pickleball Bag – Backpack & Duffle Bag for Paddles & Pickleball Accessories – Thermal Insulated Pockets Hold 4+ Paddles - Includes Fence Hook

First ordered the bigger one, way too big for me, ordered the smaller one which is big enough.

I'm a guy and I got the Hot Pink/Blue bag as a gift from my wife. If this color is good enough for Ronaldo, it's good enough for me.I see many sponsored Joola male and female pros using this color. It's an iconic tennis color/style from the 1970's and is very cool looking in this bag. The bag gets a lot of compliments at the clubThis bag is the Joola Tour Elite Pro. It can hold four paddles. Two in each sleeve. It's still a good idea to use individual covers and then put them in the bag since grit surfaces can rub against each other causing wear. With covers on they fit fine.The other smaller bag is the Joola Tour Elite. Sans the "Pro". This bag holds two paddles. One in each side insulated sleeve. And they can also be in individual covers, but that's unnecessary since they will not rub up against another paddle. Only one paddle will fit per sleeve side.You can jam in more paddles in the middle section depending on what you carry.I own both. I started with the small (2 paddles-- Joola Hyperion CFS16 and a Joola Hyperion C2 16mm), then moved to the Pro. I carry 4 paddles now. The larger size is better in my opinion, and is what the pros carry. The look is the same for both bags, but the side pockets are also much larger on the Pro.I added lead tape, and tungsten tape to 3 out of 4 paddles for different power and feel. All 4 paddles serve a purpose. I prefer playing 14mm with singles, for example. And I'm not uptight about lending them to friends on the court.For tennis I carry the big Babolat bag and you look like a boss with that setup. And carry four tennis rackets. In a similar way this pickleball bag is marginally bigger in perception than the non-pro model, but it definitely makes a statement. If you're demure, then you may prefer a drawstring bag.I switched to the pro because I was running out of space and couldn't carry 3 or 4 paddles without my jacket and other stuff. And the side pockets were getting filled up with sports safety glasses etc. So I had to move up, and I'm glad I did. If you know you're going to get more paddles and like to carry all your equipment, or are a gadget person get the Pro bag. And if you play in tourneys and want to get serious then get the Pro.Here's the contents of my Pro bag:- Joola Hyperion C2 16mm- Joola Hyperion C2 14mm- Volair Mach 1 Forza 14mm- Six Zero Ruby 16mmAll fitted with Hesacore grips (Size: small, anti-vibration, good for tennis elbow, a must have if you swing the Six Zero Double Black Diamond since that paddle is excellent but notorious in giving tennis elbow pain)Side pockets:- Contact lens solution- Anti fog (for googles, highly recommended) spray- 2 Paddle erasers (I usually give the other away)- Oakley half jacket with clear oakley lenses and case- Lensless squash goggles (as a backup) with case- Yonex Extra grips-- "Yonex Super GRAP" * These are the best grips and Ben Johns uses them.- Edge tape, lead tape- Car shammy towel large for sweat (I found this works best versus cotton towels)- 4 Franklin X-40's, 2 Gamma Chucks balls (I love the Gamma balls-- tad more bounce, consistent, slow to wear out- 4 Nike headbands (various colors), 2 Nike narrow wristbands, 2 Nike wide wristbands- 2 Babolat headband and wrist bands- A generic Theragun massager($20) on Amazon. Hit the IT bands and various spots to get loose.- Lip balm (Yes I'm a male)- Tube of Bengay- 2 Yeti Ramblers with Chug Cap. One with ice water, the other with Celsius or Gatorade.- 2 knee compression bands- 2 elbow compression bands- Keys- Phone- Jacket or hoodieThe bag can be held like a duffle bag and the straps hidden away which works great or I typically backpack it and it feels like nothing.Remninds me of my Babolat tennis bag but I like it even more. Get this bag!

This bag is exactly what I needed. I play pickleball usually five times per week. My previous bag/backpack was okay, but did not hold my three paddles without the handles sticking out. It only had two large pockets for everything else so I was always searching for balls, keys, towels, glasses. It made me feel unorganized, which I hate. Now all that has changed.The JOOLA Tour Elite Pro Pickleball Duffle solved all my problems with separate padded pockets for keys and phone; another padded pocket for my clear-lensed and smoke-lensed safety glasses and gloves (yes, gloves, sometimes we play in 40°F weather outdoors because we don't live in Florida or Arizona); and two large side pockets that fit my three paddles with room for more. It is super easy to put the paddles in and out even with paddle covers on. Two more zippered outside pockets can hold balls, sunscreen, and first aid supplies (which I have used on court—fortunately for other players, not myself).The main compartment holds towels, hats, more balls, complete clothing changes, and has multiple zippered mesh pockets that I use, among other things, for ID and an Apple Air Tag (in case I forget where I put the bag.) There is also enough room in the main compartment for the hooded sweatshirt that even on cold outdoor days will inevitably come off as the action heats up. A bottom-access zippered compartment holds shoes.Not only do I have everything I need when I leave from home to go to the court, but if I happen to be driving out and about and see an opportunity to play, I have everything with me in the car.The ergonomics of the bag impressed me. The backpack straps—which I use more than the carry straps—are wider and more comfortable than my previous bag. All of the zippers pull easily making ingress and egress a snap. Indoors, the bag stands upright securely on the bleachers providing easy access to everything. Outdoors, the built-in fence hook means I can use my carabiner for other things, like hooking my big drink bottle to the bag for easy transport.The main compartment has two zippers—one on each side connected together by a strap for easy opening and closing. The zippers don't completely seal the main compartment, however. That is done by two magnetic button snaps at the top. Technically, this leaves an unsealed gap at the top but I have not had anything fall out and I haven't seen that as an issue. The way I have the bag loaded, it stays upright easily on a bench or bleacher and when outdoors, it hangs upright on a fence.The bright blue color with yellow accents and lettering makes the bag stand out visually so it's easy to find among all the other bags in the gym or hanging on the fence. I zip-tied a laminated business card to the bag for identification, but I wish the bag had a covered pocket just for identification.I looked for cons but quite frankly, couldn't find any significant ones. This is a good-sized bag and some players of smaller stature might find it too large or when filled as I have it, too bulky or too heavy. But for me (5' 9") it's the right size and the weight is not a problem.

Tons of room in this bag.Use for a family of 5 that enjoys playing together.

This bag is great and has ALMOST everything you want. It has room to store 6 paddles in the insulated paddle compartments (only advertised as room for 4). The main compartment has a ton of room for dry clothes, balls, and a huge insulated water jug. There are interior pockets in the main compartment that do not serve much use for me. The shoe compartment easily holds a pair of men’s size 12 shoes. The 4 external pockets are my favorite part of this bag. I use one for glasses/keys/wallet. Another holds spare accessories (grips, tapes, etc). Another one is used for sunscreen, biofreeze, and deodorant. The last one holds small towels. I would like an external pocket to hold a water bottle; but considering the fact that there’s no place to put it because of the external pockets and the fact that the bag holds EVERYTHING, I don’t mind carrying a water bottle. This bag is basically perfect.
