So after much debate on whether to get a Grip bag or a Flak, I decided on the Flak because it has more disc capacity and more storage capacity. For me, it was also more comfortable on my back than a Grip. And actually didn't get to try on the Flak before purchase, but after trying on a Grip and fiddling around with it, I knew I would prefer the storage of the Flak, and was pleasantly surprised that it was much more comfortable. It seems to be a bit wider at the base which hugs my back better, and also provides better support when setting your bag down. Doesn't always fall over like the Grips.
I also cant say enough about Hyzerbombs customer service. I requested a "special order" in sense as I didn't want the "Millenium" logo across the front of the bag. I wanted the Hyzerbomb logo instead. They first said it should only be a couple week wait, about a week in they said they weren't sure how long it would be and could be up to 4 more weeks, but that they have the regular Millenium bag ready to ship. I had already decided to wait, and chose to stick to my original decision and wait for what I wanted. They offered to send me a loaner bag (brand new) that I could use until mine was ready at which time we could do a switch out. That was very kind of them but I declined as I had a perfectly good bag at the time, and didn't need to use up one of their bags which would lower its value when they went to resell. It did end up being about another 4 weeks, but let me reiterate that the wait was my choice, I could've had a bag shipped out the day after I placed my order. Even though the wait was my choice, they still HOOKED it up and included with my bag 3 dri-fit Hyzerbomb shirts and 2 Hyzerbomb discs!!! I was stoked to say the least!!
Once I received the bag, I was instantly impressed with the build quality and the features of the bag. The storage up top is HUGE, and they have zippered in the bottom with a hard plate to address the 'sag' issue from the earlier run Flaks. And it WORKS. In just the top compartment alone, I can and have fit the following AT ONCE with no issue of retrieving discs or causing any other cramming issues in other areas of the bag:
-XL Hoody
-XL Long Sleeve Thermal Shirt
-Beanie
-Thick Neck Gaiter
-Pair of Gloves
-Full Bag of Bigs Sunflower Seeds
-Pair of Sunglasses
-2 Pens, 1 Sharpie
-Extra Mini Marker
-Pdga Rule Book
-Cliff Bar
Might even be forgetting something, but man can you fit some stuff up there! It also has two small side zipper pockets in which I stuff a large 24"x12" towel in one side, and usually put my car keys and smokes in the other side. Next to the zipper pockets, is a small 'slip' pocket on each side for a scorecard or pens or whatever. Also on the sides is a pocket for discs in which I fit two discs on each side. Add the main compartment and the top putter pocket, and I am comfortably carrying 26 discs, with plenty of wiggle room to easily grab and replace your discs. I could squeeze a couple more in the main (21 now with 7 of those being Mids), but it would make it a tight fit and you would have to put more effort in retrieving your discs. It does also have the slip pocket on the front panel, but like the Grip, if you use it, it makes disc entry/exit a bit difficult. So I use that pocket for scratch paper, or my thin gloves sometimes which doesn't effect the main compartment. And there is another putter pocket on the inside of the top flap. But in order to use that, you would have to have your top compartment half unzipped which is not my preference as I want all my stuff up there to be protected from the elements.
There are two ways to carry your stool or umbrella, or use both ways to carry both! You could use one cup holder to hold your stool/umbrella vertically, and use the D ring on the bag to run your stools strap through and hold it tight. There is also two clips on the bottom front of bag which can also be used to hold your stool/umbrella horizontally.
The bag, like the Grip, also comes with a rain cover, which stores nicely under the hard plate in top compartment.
The straps are durable and comfy, with the entire back of bag a mesh material to allow it to breath between your back. Havent played in high heat yet with it, so cant speak to if that works as planned or not.
And now on to some pics to illustrate some of the things I spoke to above.
This is just the bag, fully loaded and ready to go, with front pocket closed. And top compartment is JAMMED FULL but you cant tell.
Same thing but with front opened showing main compartment.
