New to disc golf (about a month). I've been using a Mountainsmith Daylight lumbar pack which is cool because I can just keep it on while I play and reach back for a disk. Not much room for anything else though. Plus my drinks sometimes fall out of the side pocket when I throw. I started looking for another bag, and being a hiker / backpacker started checking out backpack style bags. Didn't want something huge and wanted easy access to my frequently used disks. The Shift seems to fit the bill. Love the profile and layout. When I saw the special pricing I couldn't resist and ordered last night. Just received a notice that it shipped! Might have it in time for the weekend and I'm off next week. Hope I get the mini, couldn't get the code to work.
I can't recall...does the Shift hold a water bladder?
Thanks for your order! I think you'll really love what the Shift has to offer. I underestimated the number of people who would use the code so sadly we blew through our stock of minis pretty quick and had to disable the coupon code. We have another order on the way. If you (or anyone else on this forum) still wants a mini, we will be listing them on our site as an individual product (likely with free shipping) and as an optional add-on when purchasing. Sorry to all those who did not get their mini :\
There is no dedicated pocket for the reservoir but with the amount of space on the inside it can hold one in the bottom or in one of the disc pockets. Then the hose can be routed through the top handle and attached to the shoulder with the Quantum Clip (magnetic clip included with our reservoirs). You could also put the reservoir into one of the outer mesh pockets but it would make the bag weight slightly uneven.
We are working on a few designs to bring a reservoir to the Shift in the future, but it would add some costs to the final selling price and we like where the price is now. :thmbup:
New one comin out looks sick
Any link to said sickness?
For those of you who made the transition, how is a disc golf backpack superior to a regular pack, sling bag, etc.?
For those of you who use the Shift, is there any way to attach your stool to it? Has anybody done any mods to add a stool/umbrella holder of any kind? That's the only thing keeping me from pulling the trigger on this bag!
Thanks for the quick response! The lack of two water bottle holders is the only drawback for me with this bag, so I will keep my eyes open for any changes in future runs.
I'm tempted to pick up a dedicated disc golf backpack, but at the moment I'm finding it really hard to justify the $100-150 cost. For the number of discs and accessories I bring to courses, the Shift would be ideal.

I currently stuff everything into an old Timbuk2 messenger bag that I no longer use for its original purpose. It holds about 15 discs, or 7-8 with a water bottle and warm layers.
I recently switched to the Shift from a traditional style bag and I prefer the backpack so much I will never use a regular bag again. The main thing for me (as I am old and wussy) is that it is so much easier on my body than my old bag - it picks up and slips on so easily, and even when fully loaded with discs and gear it feels so comfortable and lightweight. Everything about it just works, it is well designed and makes playing a round much more enjoyable.
It has surprised me how much of a difference it has made as far as my enjoyment of the game is concerned. I suspected it would be an upgrade for me but I did not think I would be as completely satisfied as I am. If I had it to do all over again I would get the Shift bag again no question about it.
