I'm a guy and I got the Hot Pink/Blue bag as a gift from my wife. If this color is good enough for Ronaldo, it's good enough for me.
I see many sponsored Joola male and female pros using this color. It's an iconic tennis color/style from the 1970's and is very cool looking in this bag. The bag gets a lot of compliments at the club
This bag is the Joola Tour Elite Pro. It can hold four paddles. Two in each sleeve. It's still a good idea to use individual covers and then put them in the bag since grit surfaces can rub against each other causing wear. With covers on they fit fine.
The other smaller bag is the Joola Tour Elite. Sans the "Pro". This bag holds two paddles. One in each side insulated sleeve. And they can also be in individual covers, but that's unnecessary since they will not rub up against another paddle. Only one paddle will fit per sleeve side.
You can jam in more paddles in the middle section depending on what you carry.
I own both. I started with the small (2 paddles-- Joola Hyperion CFS16 and a Joola Hyperion C2 16mm), then moved to the Pro. I carry 4 paddles now. The larger size is better in my opinion, and is what the pros carry. The look is the same for both bags, but the side pockets are also much larger on the Pro.
I added lead tape, and tungsten tape to 3 out of 4 paddles for different power and feel. All 4 paddles serve a purpose. I prefer playing 14mm with singles, for example. And I'm not uptight about lending them to friends on the court.
For tennis I carry the big Babolat bag and you look like a boss with that setup. And carry four tennis rackets. In a similar way this pickleball bag is marginally bigger in perception than the non-pro model, but it definitely makes a statement. If you're demure, then you may prefer a drawstring bag.
I switched to the pro because I was running out of space and couldn't carry 3 or 4 paddles without my jacket and other stuff. And the side pockets were getting filled up with sports safety glasses etc. So I had to move up, and I'm glad I did. If you know you're going to get more paddles and like to carry all your equipment, or are a gadget person get the Pro bag. And if you play in tourneys and want to get serious then get the Pro.
Here's the contents of my Pro bag:
- Joola Hyperion C2 16mm
- Joola Hyperion C2 14mm
- Volair Mach 1 Forza 14mm
- Six Zero Ruby 16mm
All fitted with Hesacore grips (Size: small, anti-vibration, good for tennis elbow, a must have if you swing the Six Zero Double Black Diamond since that paddle is excellent but notorious in giving tennis elbow pain)
Side pockets:
- Contact lens solution
- Anti fog (for googles, highly recommended) spray
- 2 Paddle erasers (I usually give the other away)
- Oakley half jacket with clear oakley lenses and case
- Lensless squash goggles (as a backup) with case
- Yonex Extra grips-- "Yonex Super GRAP" * These are the best grips and Ben Johns uses them.
- Edge tape, lead tape
- Car shammy towel large for sweat (I found this works best versus cotton towels)
- 4 Franklin X-40's, 2 Gamma Chucks balls (I love the Gamma balls-- tad more bounce, consistent, slow to wear out
- 4 Nike headbands (various colors), 2 Nike narrow wristbands, 2 Nike wide wristbands
- 2 Babolat headband and wrist bands
- A generic Theragun massager($20) on Amazon. Hit the IT bands and various spots to get loose.
- Lip balm (Yes I'm a male)
- Tube of Bengay
- 2 Yeti Ramblers with Chug Cap. One with ice water, the other with Celsius or Gatorade.
- 2 knee compression bands
- 2 elbow compression bands
- Keys
- Phone
- Jacket or hoodie
The bag can be held like a duffle bag and the straps hidden away which works great or I typically backpack it and it feels like nothing.
Remninds me of my Babolat tennis bag but I like it even more. Get this bag!
