An absolute PITA to put together, great once you are there.
Honestly I'd give this thing 3 stars overall just because of the assembly, but that's not fair. Plan on looking up a youtube video (the only one I could find covered the V2 not V3) then spending a half hour frigging with the thing before you're even close to ready to use it. That video will assume the back panel is installed and not cover that. It won't be. When you install it the narrow bit goes up not down and if you do it last because you followed the video it's going to take some gymnastics. Actually the whole thing will take gymnastics and I'm not convinced they factored humans only having two hands when they designed it. I get that shipping the thing put together would cost WAY more, especially if it was done at assembly in China because it could no longer be flat packed... but buyer beware its a HUGE PITA.Once you get the panels in all the zippered pockets (that's what they are there for one-time use) the bag will be creaky and squeaky when you put it down because the panels will rub against each other and the base. Maybe this goes away eventually, but it is what it is. This is the last of the irritating things about the bag and why it didn't rate lower, because you only have to do this once.I want to cover the bad things about the bag first, as there aren't many:The top putter storage is more of a long-term storage and not a quick access pocket. It just isn't very convenient to access and leave unzipped while playing.The front flap takes actual effort to secure behind said putter storage for access to the inside of the bag. It is fine once you velcro it to the back of the interior behind the putter storage pouch, just not as ideal of a setup as it could be.A few more hardpoints to clip things on to that didn't hit you in the back while you carry the bag would be nice. The side zippers are all up against you in the closed position so don't clip a speaker or league tag there.A dedicated mini pouch without a zipper would be nice, you either have to use a side pouch or the zip pouch on the outermost putter pocket.The good:It's absolutely amazingly comfortable to wear. One shoulder or two, it doesn't matter.The zippers are very nice, and water resistant.The big zip side pockets are expandable and well thought out. One side has a shallow pocket for pencils the other one a deeper one for pens or sharpies. The expansion space is GREAT.The umbrella storage. This cannot be overstated. You can keep yourself and your discs dry without holding ANYTHING.The outermost quick access putter storage is great for one disc. Two would be the absolute max I would want to try in there but your go-to putter fits nicely and is ready to hand.The patch velcro is nice, have to see how it comes out when I get mine in but it comes with a generic "Prodigy" patch.It holds quite a few discs, more than I expected in fact. 28 fit in there without using the side pouches comfortably. 30 shouldn't be an issue.The color is nice, I got blue and it's a decent look. The material is more tent-like and feels light and fragile but seems durable. If it doesn't rip when you put the panels in it will likely last forever.The price. It's really got the feel of a much more expensive bag (once it's built). You'll curse it the first hour you own it but after that it's smooth sailing.

Room for everything.
For all the people and even YouTube reviewers that said this bag sucks to put together, I was a little nervous about it even though the bag seems to have everything. IDK what the fuss is all about.I just got it ten minutes ago and it’s assembled and full of discs. It exceeded my expectations for how many it could fit. I have 7 putters- 2 in the front, 5 up top. 11 midranges and 13 fairway and distance drivers fill out the main compartment. That’s 31 discs for those keeping track and they’re not crammed. I could easily fit more in the expanding side pockets, but I don’t need to. I really like the retriever/umbrella sleeve because on my old bag my retriever stuck up like I was a military radio operator. Much sleeker now.Side pockets have room for minis, snacks, even a light jacket and the smaller magnet closed pockets are great for keys, wallet, Sharpies, and other small items.The water bottle pockets are ample size. i fit a large Stanley 36oz thermos with no problem. I've seen complaints that bigger bottles are difficult to get out. I did not find this to be true.There is one carabiner on the top side for towels or whatever.The straps are comfortable although i haven't had it out fully loaded on the course as of yet.Very impressed.Edit: Took out this weekend for a couple rounds. Was very comfortable to carry and performed nicely. Only (minor) drawback i found was with two full 32oz water bottles, it was a bit back heavy due to the placement of the holders and could tip over if the ground wasn't level (which it wasn't more often than not). Very happy with the purchase.

Stability, capacity, value
I played two rounds today, and the BP-1 held up great. The capacity and toughness for the price can't be beat, and there's plenty of non-disc storage for everything I need (and plenty more than I'm currently using, too). The bag gets a bad rap for ease of assembly, but if you watch the video on Prodigy's site for a sanity check, it's actually pretty quick and easy.One huge plus worth commenting on: the fabric on the straps and the back dries very quickly. I sweat a LOT, and while the right strap and back were pretty wet when I finished my first round, they were completely dry by the time I got to my second round 40 minutes later.There are only two minor annoyances to report thus far, both regarding the disc compartments. The main compartment flap has velcro that attaches to the inside back, but the inside back's patch of velcro is often semi-obstructed by the putter pocket. You have to lift the putter pocket a little bit to get the velcro to hit, and taking putters in and out of the putter pocket disconnected the velcro more than once. I rarely noticed, because the discs do a decent job of keeping the flap back, but it is something to be aware of. Similarly, the putter pocket cover kept finding its way back out, even though I tucked it in after unzipping and disconnecting the velcro. Again, taking the putters in and out seem to be the culprit.

It just rolls on it's back
I love prodigy, I throw almost entirely there brand and even wear there hat.This is my third disc golf bag, two from dynamic disc. When you fill this up it just rolls over. It has no rigidity. In the screenshot above I have 3 disc up top and it just rolls. I have 1 water bottle and my wallet, keys in the pockets.You might ask why 1 star, well it's a disc golf bag, and it's bad at really the only thing it's designed for. If I hadn't already gifted my other bags, I would have refunded it already.

Great disc gold bag!
Upgraded to this bag recently and absolutely love it! Lots of room for discs including two quick access pockets for putters and highly used discs, two cup holders, one for a drink and one for my Bluetooth speaker, extra storage on both sides as well. It also stands straight up when I set it down too which helps not get the bag wet when playing in dewy grass. My only negative is that when the bag is shipped it is flat and it comes with some plastic inserts to give the bag it’s shape, and there were no instructions and it was actually tougher to do than I thought. But once I finally got it all together loved it!
