Title: vise 3 ball roller tote?
Post by: chitown on February 17, 2007, 12:20:50 PM
Anyone have this tote roller?  If so how do you like it?  The thing I hate the most about 4 and 6 ball rollers is there too big and bulky.  So i'm considering buying one of these 3 ball totes to go along with my 2 ball ones.

get the brunswick 3 4 or 5 ball option.  Nice bag with a lot of room, and still skinny like a 3 ball roller.

It's great if you dont need a pocket for accessories,
and allstarbowling.com has them for less than $50 shipped.

You might consider getting a Roto Grip bag. Comes with a 5 year warranty. And the Roto Grip/Storm 4 ball stackers are really rather short. A lot different and shorter, with plenty of pockets, than my Track four bagger. As is I use a four bagger and a two ball tote every league. Just like to have options I guess. Rarely use more than three bowling balls, including spare ball, usually only two total...one for the game and my spare ball. But you never know!

I just received my 3 ball tote roller made by VISE.  I bought it from Buddies pro shop for 50 bucks.  This is the best ball bag I have ever seen.  It's very compact and fits 3 balls perfectly.  Plus it's actually easier to carry than the 2 ball tote I have that's made by brunswick even though it has 1 xtra ball.  The handle is spread out more and close to the bag.  My 2 ball tote straps and handle hang a lot lower so it feels heavier.  Now to top it all off the 3 ball tote has wheels.

This is a lot better than I expected.  I'm going to purchase another one right now.

I also don't have to worry about my shoes and what not because I put them in a back pack.  This is perfect for tourney's.

Say you only carried two balls, could you fit shoes in the place of the 3rd ball on this Vise 3 Tote Roller?  Columbia made a nice 2-tote with shoe flap that pulled on wheels like that, but I can't find another one like it.  The one now is yuck.


Yes you could do that with this Vise Roller.  

I'm surprised at how nice this tote roller is.  I have another on the way.  This is going to be really nice having these at the HOINKE next month.

This tote idea might be a great idea, since I need something small for my car.  What are the exact dimensions of it?

This bag is compact!  It's fits 3 ball perfectly.  This is the best bag I have owned yet.  I'm waiting for my 2nd one to come in the mail.  I also have a back pack that I put my shoes and accessories in so these bags are perfect.

Amen to that! I can roll this skinny thing behind me with a nice double tote  for storage on my shoulder and work my way between concourse traffic with ease.  Just don't get too crazy with the maneuvers, as these are a little tippy when compared with other inline rollers.

If only it was for four balls that would be perfect.  I have a spare ball that I wanted to add to my arsenal maybe I will just carry that one.

Wouldn't you still need something for shoes and other bowling related tidbits?  Get a roomy single ball tote and the 3 ball rolling tote and viola!  4 ball capacity...

I use a back pack for my shoes and accesories.  So far the wheels seem pretty durable.  I know the entire bag seems to be great quality.

wheels are 2". The spindle and housing is pretty solid.

I think the bag is good quality, as long as you don't let it bang down stairs, etc.

i talked to the two reps for kr bags today when they called on the pro shop i trade with( ams bowling supply in independence, mo ). they admitted they missed the boat on this bag and said it's biggest asset is the light weight even when full as it's very reasonablely priced to stow on board when flying to nationals.
