That's a pound octo something. Looks like the thorpe but could be the haul?
I take it any bag would work with it? I have a shoulder bag that I have attached backpack straps to.

Not really, but there are some considerations to be aware of...Does the Quad Boy XL require any adjustments or changes to use a Disc bag over a club bag?
Not really, but there are some considerations to be aware of...
The mounting arms/straps on the XL are slightly angular (meant to wrap around a golf club bag), so there's potential for accelerated wear and tear on the shoulder straps of your disc golf bag. This looks to be something that could be modified fairly easily though, using something like pipe insulation foam or a pool noodle to give some padding to the mounting arms.
As someone mentioned, you're going to need a fairly weighty bag for this cart to really provide an optimal experience. Because it's designed to carry a golf club bag, part of the design is to shift the weight distribution to a more neutral position once the bag is attached. When a bag isn't attached, the majority of the weight is in the cart handle, causing the cart to tip over. For the weight distribution issue alone, I can't see this cart being very functional with your standard shoulder bag/quad straps, as there just wouldn't be enough weight to offset the counterbalance needed to give the cart its advertised agility. Conversely, this is why the cart is a great compliment to an Octothorpe/haul, because when the bag is loaded up it provides great counterbalance for the cart, especially if you're going to be making use of the handle-based storage options that come on the XL.
Honestly, there's no way I would recommend this cart unless you've got a fairly heavy backpack style bag, Anything less almost certainly wouldn't work to provide the necessary stability and the cart would be a squirrely mess, making it more hassle than it would be worth.

Absolutely correct, as acknowledged earlier in the thread.It seems to me your assumptions were just based on looks but not actual ownership.
