What a piece of crap!

*warning rant*

Ok so Saturday I bought an Innova starter bag, I only have 6 discs and only play once or twice a week. So I figured this bag would last me a couple months until I could afford a really nice bag. I had hoped this bag would last me 4-6 months but guess what, the strap is already broken! 4 days and it tore on me. What a waste of my money! I should of figured seeing how the zipper was sticking the day I bought it. Just figured it had been on the shelf for a while and needed to be zipped and unzipped a few times. I'll never buy a product other than discs from Innova again!

Those kids worked hard making those bags. Let's see what you can do working for one M&M a day.

Mine lasted for a couple if years but I took the strap off and put backpack straps on. Send it back to them, I bet they will replace it. On the brighter side if you never buy anything innova again, you will save a ton if money.

Trust me its not only their bags that suck. I have almost completely written Innova off because I have bought 2 star Valks and they started flipping bad after 2 rounds each because I hit a tree or 2. Innova is all about the money and not improving their product or listening to their customers/pros. If it wasn't for the Roc and Teebird I would have completely written them off by now. Maybe i'm just bitter but i'm not the richest person in the world and I won't continue throwing 15-20 bucks a pop at something that MAY last a few years or just a few rounds. And no i'm not anti-Innova....yet....but I have lost alot of love for them.

My besty has been using my old innova starter bag for the last 7 years. It's still holding up and working great.

Sounds to me like you may just have gotten a bad bag. Why not contact them and give them the chance to make it right?

i've put my Starter bag through a few hundred rounds, getting out about three or four times a week the past year, have 8-10 discs in there, have not had a problem with the bag nor the strap... Send them an email with pictures, they'd be more than likely to replace it, when my champion leopard chipped after a week and hitting a tree or two they replaced it... Don't let one bad product get you down.

I bet folks are getting confused between the starter bag and the standard bag. The starter bag is a flimsy piece of crap, the standard bag is the one I see many newer players carrying and it's actually constructed pretty well and holds up.

Starter bag:


Standard bag:
