3-Pack
If you’re an occasional tennis player who stops by the neighborhood courts a few times a month or a beginner who is just getting a feel for the game, you probably own one, maybe two, tennis racquets. If that’s the case, perhaps a 3-pack bag would be sufficient for you. In a 3-pack, you have one compartment (approx. three inches wide), which is big enough to accomodate three racquets at most. If you don't have three racquets, you'll have room to include a change of clothes and some accessories. These bags often feature an exterior zipper compartment used for keys, wallets, etc. Browse our 3-pack page today to choose from our wide selection!
6-Pack
For more advanced players who like to carry a few backup racquets, as well as additional tennis gear, the 6-pack may be the most convenient bag size. In a 6-pack, you will have one compartment (approx. three inches wide) to hold 2-3 racquets, as well as an adjacent compartment for an extra pair of shoes, change of clothes, snacks, and a few other items. If you think a 6-pack is appropiate, check out our 6-pack page today to choose from our huge selection!
8-Pack, 9-Pack, 10-Pack
Tournament players will love one of the 8, 9, or 10-pack options, which usually feature three pockets capable of holding up to nine racquets. One of the bag's compartments will usually feature ThermoGuard insulation to help protect your racquets from extreme temperatures. The other two pockets and exterior accessory compartments hold everything from an extra pair of shoes to sweaty clothes. Many come equipped with a moisture-proof pocket. Backpack straps are also a common feature. Check out our 8-pack, 9-pack, and 10-pack pages today to choose from our comprehensive selection!
12-Pack
For the most high-intensity players, the 12-pack, also known as a Supersix or Supercombi bag, is the way to go. With one compartment (approx 3-4 inches wide) large enough to hold 3-4 tennis racquets, and often equipped with ThermoGuard, this is the largest of the racquet bags. Great for tournament travel, 12-packs feature additional perks such as backpack straps, shoe compartments, and multiple-accessory pockets, making it great for a long day on the courts. Don't forget to look at our 12-pack page today to choose from our extensive selection!
15-Pack
The 15-pack option has 12-pack features with slightly more space built in to the three main compartments. Some versions even come with golf bag-style, stand-up legs! 15-pack tennis bags are usually the top of the line bags, which include the most features and the highest quality from each manufacturer. Check out our 15-pack today to choose from our amazing selection!
Bags with Wheels
Rolling tennis bags are great for players who like to take their tennis gear with them on long trips. With enough room to store in excess of 12 racquets, and as much gear as you can add, these aren't your average court bags. Usually complete with a telescopic handle and smooth-wheeling motion, these bags are easy to transport. In addition, firm carrier straps offer versatility when wheeling won't work and you need to carry or lift this bag. View our Rolling Bags today to choose from our wide selection!
Tennis Backpack
The racquet backpack is another great option for players who hit the court on an intermittent basis. Backpacks usually feature enough room to fit one or two racquets, and they can be a comfortable alternative to the longer racquet bags that hang off the shoulder. These compact carriers often feature compartments for water bottles, tennis ball cans, and accessories. Browse our Backpacks page today to choose from our extensive selection!
Shoulder Tote
Looking for a simple and stylish bag to carry your tennis gear? Tote bags provide the perfect solution. Featuring fortified shoulder straps and eye-catching designs, totes can add personality to your game while facilitating transport of your racquet, tennis gear, and personal items. If you think a shoulder tote is right for you, check out our Shoulder Tote page today to choose from our huge selection!
Tournament Bag
Tournament bags are usually the same size as a 6-pack tennis bag. Typically, these bags feature one-to-two large compartments suitable for carrying several racquets and some additional gear. They don't usually have backpack straps, but they have carrying handles or one main shoulder strap instead. View our Tournament Bag page today to choose from our amazing selection!
Duffle Bag
Duffle bags are a great way to carry your extra gear. They aren't quite long enough to carry your racquets, but if you only need some additional space to carry gear, then a duffle bag is a great option. Don't forget to look at our Duffle Bag page today to choose from our large selection!
Bump Racket Covers (Neoprene Sleeve)
Bag bumpers are a great way to protect your racquets against dings, dents, and scratches when jostled in your tennis bag or used as a lightweight way to transport your sticks! These stylish, yet simple, covers can also be used to organize your racquets if you have racquets strung at multiple tensions. Browse our BumpRacket Covers page today to choose from our extensive selection!
Shoe Bag
Ever pulled your shoes out of your bag a day after a long match and that stinky smell still lingers? These shoe bags are a great way to keep your shoes seperated from the rest of your gear. Whether you want to carry it in your main bag or carry it seperately, you'll have an effective way to keep your gear clean and smelling fresh. Check out our Shoe Bag page today to choose from our wide selection!
*In addition to various sizes, many tennis bags also come with other features such as moisture protective sacks and Thermal Guard Technology. Moisture protective sacks are used to hold wet clothes and bags keep all of your other gear dry after a demanding match. Thermal Guard technology includes an insulated lining on the inside of the tennis bag to protect your frame and strings from extreme weather and moisture that can be detrimental to your racquet.
Choosing the right tennis bag can be a little intimidating, especially if you’re not a gearhead by nature. Whether you’re shopping at a traditional sporting goods store, paralyzed by the selection from an online mega-retailer, or browsing at your local country club, it can be hard to know what all of those technical terms mean.
3 pack? 6 pack? 12 pack? Are we talking boxer briefs or racquets here, guys? And, why would I ever need 12 racquets in my bag?

In our opinion, taking a look at your own lifestyle and understanding your own needs is far more important than defining tennis bag terms. We talked to a group of players about their priorities when buying a new tennis bag, and it boiled down to three basic things.

Making it all Fit
In our opinion, taking a look at your own lifestyle and understanding your own needs is far more important than defining tennis bag terms. We talked to a group of players about their priorities when buying a new tennis bag, and it boiled down to three basic things.
The number one consideration when shopping for a tennis tote or bag is going to be its carrying capacity. How much space does it have, and how much stuff do you really need to pack? If you’re playing at a competitive level, you may opt to bring several different racquets to the court, but for most of us, one or two racquets will do.
As for the 6 pack and 12 pack tennis bags, you’re not obligated to fill all of that space with racquets. However, the cavities available for storage of water bottles, clothing, and post match essentials will generally follow the shape of the racquet compartment.
Several of the players we spoke with mentioned that size does indeed matter, but not in the way you might think. A bag designed to carry a bunch of racquets might be great courtside, but they don’t make sense for everyday life. Cyclists and public transportation commuters find some of the largest tennis bags ungainly and difficult to maneuver - you may as well have a suitcase on the train.
Weight is another factor to consider as you narrow your search for the perfect tennis bag. How heavy is the bag itself, and how well does it distribute the load you’re about to weigh it down with? Some of the largest bags are +4 lbs... empty! If you plan on biking to the club after work, or simply prefer to let both shoulders handle the load, a tennis backpack might be a good fit for you. If having a hands-free commute isn’t a priority, consider a shoulder carry or cross body bag with a comfortable strap.

Keeping It Organized
So now that you’ve narrowed down how much space you’re going to need for your stuff and how you’re going to carry it, the next step is going to be finding your gear. Organizational needs tend to vary, but most of the players we chatted with want to find and access their items with ease. The old school “black hole” bags were notorious for their huge, unstructured compartments, but thankfully for the organization obsessed among us, there are a lot of alternatives on the market.
Many of today’s modern tennis bags come equipped with pockets for cell phones, water bottles, sunglasses and more. We like a bag with varying sizes and types of pockets so items fit snugly and are easier to find. Some newer bags have interior pockets specifically designed for small stuff and outer stash pockets to keep keys, balls or hydration handy. Most will have at least one large cavity for shoes and clothes. Several of the folks we talked to suggested looking for a bag with some kind of racquet protection or separation from your other items to prevent damage.
Another consideration is how the bag handles on the sidelines. A bag’s balance and point of entry make a difference in how easy it is to access your stuff. Will the bag flop over when you set it down, or will it stand up on its own? How deeply can you see into the compartments? Do the zippers open wide enough to retrieve things with ease? Are frequently used items readily available, or will locating them require some digging?

Looking Sharp
Finally, it’s time to answer the eternal question: do you care more about form or function? Or are you an idealist in search of an ample amount of both?
If looks are your top priority, you’ll be happy to find fashion brands getting into the tennis bag game. Chic tennis totes and handbags are increasingly more common, and they’re especially popular among resort and occasional players.
Newer performance fabrics provide a comparable alternative to heavy duty vinyl bags, resist fading, and are easy to clean. Some brands are moving entirely to fashion fabrics altogether. You can find tennis bags with wild prints, and some that can even pass off as a funky diaper bag or large designer purse.
The forms of contemporary tennis bags are changing too, and newer styles are becoming more and more streamlined. Many of the tote type bags and backpacks are designed to let the racquet handle stick out - which cuts down on overall bag bulk and weight.
For those who want to look good, but are hard on their gear (or simply prefer a workhorse), lucky you. You don’t have to look like a walking billboard to find a functional tennis bag anymore. With the influx of smaller, independent tennis bag companies, there are an increasing number of bags on the market that are durable and discreet.
At the end of the day, no matter your taste, finding something that compliments your lifestyle is key. Look for a bag that gets you from point A to point B stress free, and gets you in the game.
