Thread: 3 Ball Roller

  1. #1

    Default 3 Ball Roller

    Well with Christmas around the corner I'll be getting a new ball. That's going to require a new bag. Currently I have a camo Storm 3 tote roller, works great but only enough room for balls, and I have an old double roller that's falling apart.

    So I'm kinda torn between two bags. One is the KR Hybrid X in camo, I like the looks of this one better and it has an 1" more width. The other is a Storm 3-ball streamline in camo, it would be a match to my other storm bag which would be going with it every week, but I'm really not sold on it.

    So I'm looking for y'all's opinions on these 2 bags, I'm not brand loyal to anything so name means nothing unless it's a cheap product.

    Links for both

    I have the KR Strikeforce Cruiser bag which looks like the same bag except for the pattern on it and it's a good bag. The shoe compartment is huge and it wheels fine. I prefer the bigger wheels so I would go with the Strikeforce but my actual advice would be to spend a little more and go with the 4 ball roller. With the 3 bag roller you have to lay them flat to open and actually takes more space. The 4 bag rollers stand upright and are more compact.

    Also if you ever get another ball in the future you'll have the extra space.

    I went from a 2 ball to a 3 ball then finally a 4 ball bag I would have saved a bunch of money if I had just thought ahead and bought the 4 ball bag. Just my thoughts

    I did the exact same thing.

    I gave my 2 ball roller away and I bought my kids bowling balls and I used the 3 bag roller for them.

    It would not surprise me if KR didn't make all the bags for every company. I think they had a patent on the bigger wheels or something like that.

    I like the way y'all think however the width of the 4 ball rollers is going to be hard to manage at my bowling alley and I'm worried it might be to much for the girlfriend to handle putting in and out of her trunk. Like I stated I have a 3- ball tote I will keep using in addition to the new one I usually roll both bags and she carries a bag with our shoes that hopefully she won't need to with either of these bags.

    From the sounds of it KR bags are quality bags, I'm just hoping the big wheels and longer handle will allow the girlfriend to roll the new bag.

    I'll be picking up a couple 3 ball rollers, but they will be the tote rollers. They have detachable pouches on top. Will be nice to be able to check in 2 3 ball rollers with the airlines when I go to Nationals.
