FAQ: Everything You Need to Know About Pickleball Bags
What should I look for in a pickleball bag?
When choosing a pickleball bag, prioritize functionality, durability, and organization. Look for features like:
- Dedicated paddle sleeves for secure fit
- Ventilated compartments for clothes or shoes
- Insulated water bottle holders
- Interior organization for balls, keys, and personal items
- Comfortable straps and back padding for all-day wear
Choose a bag that fits your gear and playing style—whether you're a casual player or tournament regular.

FORWRD bags are designed by real players and built with premium materials, ensuring they stand up to tough conditions. Every detail—from modular paddle storage to durable zippers—is tested on the court. Plus, we back every bag with a lifetime warranty, something most competitors don’t offer.
How many paddles fit in a pickleball bag?
It depends on the bag. FORWRD’sCourt Caddy fits up to 5 paddles (modular sleeves allow for custom setups). Our smaller bags fit 1–2 paddles securely. We design each layout to balance paddle storage with space for other gear.
Are FORWRD bags unisex?
Yes. Every FORWRD bag is designed to be sleek, neutral, and adaptable for both men and women. Whether you're heading to a tournament or your local rec center, the style is versatile and modern.
How do I clean my pickleball bag?
Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use mild soap and cold water. Avoid machine washing or drying to preserve the materials and structure. FORWRD bags are made with durable, easy-to-clean fabrics for long-term use.
Do your bags work for travel or flights?
Absolutely. Our bags are carry-on compatible and include compartments for everything you need on the go. Some even feature luggage pass-throughs for easy airport transport.

Let customers speak for us
Love my new bag! So roomy and the right amount of compartments to keep gear in place. Such a nice looking bag too!
When I want to travel light, this is the bag I grab. The FORWRD Cross Court Sling only fits two paddles, but it honestly has everything you need for a solid pickleball session. There’s a dedicated pocket for a water bottle, another for pickleballs, and inside you’ll find a slick, secure space for your phone, an extra shirt and keys.
The build quality really stands out — the bag is sturdy, holds its shape, and doesn’t collapse or deform. I also love the multiple loops on the front and back, which make it easy to clip a towel or accessories with a carabiner. The thick rubberized bottom is a nice touch too, especially when you need to set it down on the court.
One of my favorite features is the built-in chain link hooks, letting you hang the bag vertically or horizontally — super convenient during play. At its price point, it’s absolutely justified. These are easily some of the best-looking pickleball bags out there, and they perform just as good as they look.
Been playing 5–6x a week and the FORWRD Premium D3 Dry Overgrip is easily one of the best I’ve used. Tacky, perfectly cushioned, and the quality is next-level.
Normally I’m swapping overgrips every few days—but after multiple sessions, this one still looks and feels brand new. Solid moisture control, great feel on power paddles, and zero slippage during fast rallies.
If you play often and want a grip that actually keeps up, this one’s a game-changer. 🔥
This is the best bag I've ever seen or used ,definitely worth the price. Ive used this bag for everything and actually used it for my honeymoon, and can say that it is the perfect bag for any scenario. The bag is so sleek and futuristic yet simple that when you walk around with it it draws attention by just how professional it looks, whether your on the work or using it for lifestyle, it just works. I love what the team at Forwrd is doing and just keep doing it!
Quality is TOP NOTCH! Have so many comments on mine!
This bag is the perfect size for 2-3 paddles shoes and balls. Nice hooks to hang on fence anddurable bottom should you need to place on the ground.
Perfect fit with my court caddy ! The shoe cube and court caddy , together , are by far the best bag combo I’ve owned. Just enough room so I carry everything I need and nothing that I don’t !
I’ve had many bags over the years starting tournament tennis at the age of 6. This bag , along with the shoe caddy ,is the most versatile , compact bag I’ve owned
Really like the quality of the bag and love how the bag design is very casual, you cannot tell if it’s a pickleball bag at all. I am able to put 4 paddles in there along with balls and accessories.
I have been using the LT Pro 48 pickleballs starting this summer in Maine and now in Florida since October. I have introduced many of our rec players to the advantages of the LT ball. Bounces truer, slightly higher, more pop and stays rounder longer than other balls. Many were sceptical but after playing with it awhile but they concluded that the ball is great and got use to the predictably and true bounce. Even the slight greenish color didn’t bother them! Now we just need USAPA approval!
I have the Ranger and it is perfect!!
I currently own 3 Forwrd bags and enjoy each one. The best bags I've ever purchased
I've been searching for a new pickleball bag for quite some time...my previous bag was 'cute' but lacked some basic functionality and organization that made it frustrating to use - after lots of research, I ended up with the court ranger - and I love it- superior quality - great organization and features - an all-around great bag! I'll add that customer service is very responsive! Thank you FORWRD! A worthwhile investment!
Great bag. Well built and versatile. It’s the perfect size for an everyday bag. I play every day and this bag is perfect.
Love my Forwrd Ranger bag! Affordable, quality bag that exceeds my expectations. It’s not bulky at all and very practical for daily use.
