Well my first week playing in league, I was playing so terrible I was happy to get at least one birdie.
I noticed that there were all sorts of bags and wanted to see what you all would recommend. I am looking for something with good back support, as I am 6'6'' tall and already have a bad back.
Also if you know of a good place to get the item you are recommending.

Hi Joel,
I have the same Innova bag that Bill carries and recently purchased a "Fade Crunch" bag. It works very well with the straps and still holds 12-15 disc (depends on how many mid range and putters you carry since they are fatter) and it a lot lighter then the Innova bag so it would be easy on your back.
The price is also very good at $35 and it is a very durable bag with good features.

I think Fade has great bags for 10-15 disc. Revolution bags have GREAT tour bags. I have Innova's biggest bag it has room for all.... my stuff. As affordable as bags are now to get a new one each year is no big deal really.

My advice (that I don't follow, but should) is to get a smaller bag for your everyday bag so that you throw the same few discs more often. The more you throw a particular disc, the better you know it, so if you have 20 discs in your bag, chances are you'll only know a couple of them really well. Also, you don't wear yourself out as much just carrying it around.
As for your back, some people carry one of those tripod stools around and set the bag on it between throws. Then you don't have to bend down each time to pick up the bag. Just make sure it doesn't fall over while someone is throwing!
Also, having some sort of support frame in the bag around the discs is good so your plastic doesn't get "tacoed" (bent up) just being in the bag.
Hope you find something you like

I just picked up a 3 wheeled stroller on Craigs list for 35 bucks and it works awesome. I played 234 holes last weekend and have little or no fatigue on my back or shoulders. You do have to take the crap about is there a baby in that thing  . But when there done after one round than I get more course time. |

i am way too disc fashionably savvy to be carting around my discs in a jogging stroller  good idea though. my wife will just make me take the baby along and all my discs will have teeth marks. |
