How To Choose The Tennis Racket Bag?

As tennis is loved by more and more people, office workers participate and gradually take up a certain proportion in tennis, compared to professional tennis racket bags, there is a kind of daily multi-purpose tennis bag and women’s special tennis bag. Daily multi-purpose tennis bag, in addition to carrying one or two rackets, can also be very convenient to carry a laptop and other office, compact size, low profile and practical. The women’s bag is characterized by the small size of the female user, including the different angles of the shoulder straps and the narrow back panel design.

Most consumers can be divided into three categories, one is the price type, another category is the appearance of the product, for their favorite color and appearance; The third is the brand type, out of a tennis player or brand preference, Yonex, Victor, Wilson, Head, Li-Ning, Peak ect., In fact, a good tennis racket bag, not only need to look beautiful, but also have wear-resistant fabrics, a comfortable back system, reliable fasteners, reasonable internal structure design, etc., but these can not be seen at a glance. Here we will analyze the purchase skills of tennis racket bags.

一、 Bag capacity

Capacity is the primary reference factor when buying a bag: too small a capacity is not enough, hanging items outside is both cumbersome and easy to lose; while too large a capacity, the equipment inside the bag will affect the balance with movement. To choose the right bag capacity, first of all, we must refer to the amount of personal equipment.

Racket bags can be roughly divided into shoulder bags and multi-ball bags. Shoulder bags are not much different from a normal school bag. Usually you can carry one or two tennis rackets. The multi-ball bag can be divided into 3 pack racket bags, 6 pack , 9 pack, 12-pack racket bags according to the number of rackets you can carry.

二、 Fabric selection

Most tennis racket bag fabrics are made of nylon, but nylon is also divided into several kinds. The common ones on the market are 420D.840D.1680D. D (denier) is a unit of measurement of fiber fineness. The larger the number, the thicker the yarn or fiber, the heavier the fabric in the same area! Backpack fabrics generally use 600D more outdoor backpack with 1000D more, the greater the value of the more wear-resistant, the greater the density of waterproof performance is also better, of course, the cost is also higher. 1680D and 840D nylon can be called ballistic nylon, while 420D can only be called normal nylon. The higher the density of the nylon material, the more wear-resistant, feel smoother, waterproof and dustproof performance is also better. General tennis bags using PU coated nylon fabric (for example: PU coated, 450D polyester, 210D nylon) with waterproof, anti-dry knot, wear-resistant, anti-tear and other effects. A ball bag durability or not, the fabric is the main determinant.

三、 Carrying system

The core concept of the ergonomic design of the back system is to allow the user to have the best carrying condition during the use of the bag, so that it conforms to people’s user behavior, so that the back of the muscles and bones more comfortable. This is the soul of the bag, no matter how good the quality of a bag, if the design does not allow the user to be in the most comfortable state, then the bag can be said to be a failure!

Typically, the back system of a duffel bag consists of a backplate, shoulder straps, and sternum straps. The back panel is used to support the whole bag, while the shoulder straps and sternum strap play a fixed role. The inner part of the shoulder straps and waist belt should be soft and flexible, which can effectively change the up and down friction of the shoulder straps or waist belt to flexible vibration, while avoiding damage to clothing due to friction. The sternum strap can connect the two shoulder straps in front of the chest to fix and play the effect of stabilizing the bag, while the height and length can be easily adjusted to a personal comfortable position. A bag with a good carrying system can make the weight naturally distributed evenly. This greatly reduces our burden when hiking to the court and reduces our fatigue. When buying a bag, you should also look at the thickness of the shoulder straps, a good bag shoulder straps will be added with a sponge shock absorption device. In order to fit different people, the shoulder straps will also be designed to be adjusted at will, which is not the case with many cheap bags.

四、 Wicking system

Tennis rackets bags need to have ventilation, moisture absorption, breathability and perspiration design. Wicking system is the latest term introduced, many newcomers may be unfamiliar with this, because we usually contact to this aspect of knowledge is relatively small, many tennis bags also do not design professional wicking system. But with the improvement of people’s living standards, many tennis enthusiasts’ requirements are gradually improving, and the sweat system is slowly being mentioned by people. The bag is the whole buckle on the back, in the process of carrying, if the back is not ventilated, sticky wet sweat covered in the back will be very uncomfortable.

The sweat wicking system currently has two main constructions, one is the air permeable type and one is the air leakage type. The air permeability construction is mainly through some mesh grid and back contact, when walking, sweat will evaporate with the wind; the air leakage construction is mainly in the back of the bag coated with a breathable foam coating, so as to ensure the dryness of the athlete’s back. Some ball bags are designed with 3D breathable mesh on the inside of the shoulder straps and lumbar pads to give the air a space to flow and effectively keep the body contact parts dry.

五、 Package structure design and functional differentiation

The biggest difference between tennis bags and other bags is the design of the bag structure. Multi-stick tennis bags are generally narrow and long in order to fully accommodate longer rackets. Shoulder bags are usually designed with an inverted tapered shape, large at the bottom and small at the top, so that the racket head can be easily accommodated, while the handle is exposed outside the bag.

The role of a tennis bag is not only to store and protect the racket, but also to be able to conveniently store most of the supplies needed for daily tennis play and even matches. Usually 2 to 4 tennis rackets, clean clothes, sports towels, shoes, spare socks, tennis accessories, sports drinks; and personal items, such as cell phones, watches, keys; even shower gel, shampoo …… all the things you need to play tennis, a tennis bag all done. Therefore, it is especially important to have a good internal structure design, common equipment is placed in an orderly manner, different items have their own storage area. It can be divided into

1、Independent shoe bag.

 2、Dry and wet clothes partition.

 3、Multifunctional compartment.

 4. Protective compartment.

 5、Professional insulation layer: 6. Functional front pocket

六、 Accessory part 

Then look at the details of the design to see if a tennis bag is designed properly.

1. Shoulder Strap

Whether it is a shoulder tennis bag or a multi-pack tennis bag, the straps are the key, and strong, durable and comfortable straps will make your trip more comfortable and light. Therefore, in order to ensure the sturdiness, the first-class manufacturers will use the same pure nylon material as the car seat belt, smooth surface, soft texture, astringent slip moderate, strong load-bearing capacity, and supplemented with all kinds of breathable, cushioning materials, in the strong at the same time let the carrier feel as comfortable as possible.

2. Zipper

Zippers are also very important for a tennis bag, poor quality zippers are not only easy to break, such as broken chains, can not be pulled on, etc., and once the problem occurs, the tennis bag will be naturally scrapped. Nowadays, the market has gradually appeared the original waterproof zipper design used in outdoor sports bags.

3. Fasteners

A good quality buckle not only allows you to easily complete the loading and unloading action, but also is an important part of the weight-bearing safety of the tennis bag. In the industry, the color of the buckle is considered to be a measure of the brand’s strengths and weaknesses, international brand-name tennis bags will mostly use the buckle of well-known brands. Fasteners are thicker, flexible, effortless operation, a card will hear a “click” sound, indicating that the card has been good. General fasteners stuck more hesitant, not secure. There is the possibility of natural detachment or fracture.

4. Heat insulation for rackets

The racket’s life span can be affected by a cold or hot environment, and it can also affect the ball striking effect of the string. Therefore, some of the multi-pack tennis bags come with insulated compartment bags to reduce the impact of environmental factors on the racket.

5. bag 

Whether it’s a shoulder, or multi-pack tennis bag there are now separate compartment bags that can carry your sneakers, and the good ones will also have a breathable design.

6. Bottom of the tennis bag
