I think the real deal here is the Prodigy Ace Line. The Model D OS Duraflex is one of my favorite drivers. Gonna try some of the Model F and M Duraflex.

Yes, those prices on Ace Line are a steal. It's great plastic. I highly recommend an F Model S in ProFlex.
$100... normally $200... for a disc golf backpack?
Dang... disc golf went and got all highfalutin since last I played...
20 years ago I was a several-times-a week player at one of the 5ish area courses we had then. I used 2 discs. Occasionally you'd see someone with 3 or 4.
Fast forward. I just recently started playing again here and there. I still use the same 2 discs. The look of distain from people toting around packs like this is real. It's like walking into a black tie event wearing a cut off shirt 😄
If you're just getting started I've seen good deals on misprint sets through dynamic discs, I've been considering pulling the trigger on one to have as a second set for friends.
This seems like a sport I can get into. Why would someone carry 20 discs? is it like different weights for different wind conditions or something? Or do people regularly lose discs in trees and lakes or something and need to carry a bunch?
I'm in my 40s and have never in my life heard of disc golf. After watching some vids, I do recall seeing those baskets before. Now I know. Thank you Slickdeals for filling in my educational gap.

You only NEED two. A driver and a putter. There is a third that comes in handy for midrange or approach shots. As you start playing more you might try some new drivers that fit your arm speed better. You still bring the old drivers so you can take a few extra practice drives off the tee box. Maybe you want one that is mid range and doesn't go terribly far, but you know it's going to go straight (looking at you trees). Then you might think about getting into rolling for a hole that has a lot of tree coverage. Next you start looking at your putter and wishing it was a little softer/harder so you could stick to those chains. It's always nice to have a couple putters so you can practice without walking back and forth to the basket. Fast forward 2 years and you're on Slickdeals looking at backpacks that can hold 20-30 discs.
I have an Axiom Discs bag. I'm not a super sweaty player but this bag is more than sufficient for most casual players I would think. Build quality is good. Only modification I made was placing a section an old election yard sign in the bottom of the big pocket to add a bit of structure.
Dynamic Discs has smaller size bags available too (see https://gottagogottathrow.com/col...-golf-bags for a variety of options). The Axiom (linked) and similar bags from other manufacturers are good first-time backpacks for relatively new players or others who don't need/want to carry more than 12-15 discs. This "Combat Ranger" deal is a great price for those who have found the need to carry 20+ discs and want the extra storage/pockets that this class of bag offers.
I'm sticking with my Grip Eq. AX5, but I'll always appreciate a good disc golf deal here.

Currently $25, normally $40ish so WAY cheaper: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0...title&th=1 [amazon.com]
