Quads- are they worth it?

[EL-KABONG]

DGA Gelz are great, very comfortable and durable. If you have more than 12-15 discs they take a load off your back/shoulder /legs.

LOL, at least in Phoenix it's not humid too. I thought about bringing a small cooler but the less crap the better. I have my G/F's son wear a Camelbak but he usually tires of it and takes it off.

Yeah, I will probably order them. Like I read on the forum, forgot the OP's name "If I was worried about looking cool, I wouldn't play DG."

That quote came from the great mind of Giles.

Quads have made life easier for me. I carry a Revo Carolina, not a ton of discs, maybe 12 but when I add waters and all the other crap it starts getting heavy. They're comfy weather on one shoulder or both. Obviously great for the longer hikes that some courses may have. I don't find them getting in my way either. Great investment.

I love my quads. They are a year old plus and look like I just took them out of the package. They should last for years so I do not feel bad about the cost.

CHEERS - Koffee

Quads for long tournaments, strap for fun rounds.

Much rather have the Innova Strap for $24 and spend the extra $20 on discs! I have the Innova Straps and they work GREAT!

Same here..

 

[woodstock]

You could try these...

I've got one of these And if you look, there's a release buckle at the bottom of each shoulder strap. Looks like all I need is about 2 feet of webbing, 2 tri-glides, and 4 mini-biners and I could easily turn this into a quad strap / hydration pack. It should cost me...well, two bucks for the tri glides. I've got everything else lying around. I've even got foam that I could slap on there to give me extra padding... I'll give it a shot when I get my new bag for xmas and let you know how it works. I'll bet AZ gets scorching...

yes, i've had my quads almost a year and they're awesome. i carry a bag of 24 which fit nicely, with pockets for other necessities. makes em feel much lighter.

I have the Innova Competition Bag. In it I carry, 16 discs, 3-4 bottles of water, or Gatorade, two towels, baseball, golden Retriever, first aid kit, pain medicine, muscle cream, sun block, markers, mini, pens, and score cards. My bag gets pretty heavy. The quads are the only way to go.

Oh hell yeah.

I'm sure I posted in here at some point before it was necro-ed, but quads are great. Sure I only use one strap when I'm going a short distance, but it makes the bag much more comfortable for longer walks.

You would be amazed at how much better your back feels after playing a long course with quad straps instead of the single strap. I was surprised.

 

[dgdave]

I don't feel like reading the 10 pages of this, but here is the place to get quads

http://www.chainreactiondiscgolf.com/BAGSTRAPS/bagstraps.htm

and yes, they are worth every penny

 

[j0atz]

good luck figuring out how to actually order anything from that site heh.

 

[billnchristy]

Do you like back pain?

Yes-->don't buy quads
No-->buy quads

 

[sgamerp]

they are nice. I enjoy having them, you can get them at a hardware shop for kind of cheap and they are normally pretty nice.

 

[j0atz]

Quads are for winners. It feels weird for me to NOT have my quads on....so nice.

Million times better than a shoulder strap..

 

[Triflusal]

I'm gonna buy quads for the seven discs I carry in my innova standard bag

Especially when you play multiple long courses in a day.
