I've been playing long enough to know exactly what I want in a bag.
First, I need handles, nice soft padded ones. This rules out all the disc golf bags right away.
I like to stay as light as possible when I disc golf, I'm not ever gonna drag one of those wheeled things around on a disc golf course, ever.
Shoulder straps are useless to me, I never shoulder my bag, I just always prefer to carry it with my non throwing hand.
Backpacks are for hiking, I have plenty, but taking it on and off every few minutes is a serious waste of time when disc golfing.
I only drink diet coke, and only from a bottle with a cap, so I dont need a fancy drink holder.
I carry a maximum of maybe 18 discs if I'm trying out new stuff, but usually I carry 12 or 13.
Like a doctor, I never bring my cell phone on the course, so I just need a small zip pocket for keys, a couple of paper towels, and some moleskin.
Thats it, my whole bag.
So I've always preferred simple duffel bags with nice cushioned handles.
Here is the latest, before I get it covered in spring mud this weekend, even though I already have some splashes on it from a practice round yesterday in the rain.
Its a Nike Extra Small Duffel, it weighs next to nothing when its empty, but I can easily carry my 13 discs, 2 liters of diet coke, a couple of towels, and my golf shoes in it.
XD sits in the solo pocket at one end, Aviar-X lives in the pocket at the other end.
Capacity is really not a problem if I wanted to push it, here's the bag with just under 40 discs in it.
15 bucks.
