Let customers speak for us
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.
Such a great experience from the moment I put the bag in my cart. Had a personal reach out that helped me finalize my decision to purchase and loved the bag the moment I opened it. The fence clips, magnetic ball compartments and towel loops are all such amazing details that are so perfect for pickleball players. It's comfortable to wear, stands upright when I put it down, and I love that there's a spot for everything.
The feature I enjoy the most about my new Court Ranger Pickleball Backpack by Forwrd is the high quality materials used to manufacture the bag. The outer material is very thick and protective. The zippers are top of the line YKK zippers with stitched pulls. The bottom of the bag is weather/dirt/scuff proof coated nylon thick enough to hold its shape when placed on the ground.
Size wise, I find the bag quite adequate for typical pickleball outings with room for up to 3 paddles, water bottle, 3 balls, plus separate pockets for smaller accoutrements such as car keys, wallet, phone, and glasses.
Very comfortable shoulder straps that don't slide off your shoulder when just using one strap. I also like the molle loops on the front of the bag for the future expandability.
It's the perfect dedicated pickleball bag without screaming "I'm a pro wannabe". Materials are top notch.
Look no further! The design of the bag was definitely well thought out. My favorite part of the bag are the different pockets for organization, the rougher bottom texture, the fence hooks,and that my 50 oz yeti fits in the water bottle pocket, I just wished there were 2 of them!
Quality built backpack and love the reinforcement on bottom of bag as well as hide away zipper pocket. It is larger enough to hold my shoes and change of clothes
Completely lives up to the hype. Not a “big” bag, but it is described exactly as it comes and is of the highest quality!
A Great accessory that makes the bag look even better!
Love this new Ranger bag. Perfect placement for pockets and organizing. Sturdy and clean lines. Everything fits where I want it.
Has a very clean look, great quality material and super spacious. Has a way more room than I thought. Absolutely love it!!!
I have an iteration of every FORWRD Bag to date and while all of them have merits, the Court Ranger is the best balanced bag of the three.
The Court Caddy is great and packs plenty of storage for gear (with the new versions having some modularity) but imho it tries to do a bit too much for its size. The Cross Court Sling is very good but could've benefited from a better layout, as one had to make some compromises in what to pack.
The Court Ranger though is what Goldilocks would call "Just right." Enough space for three paddles (using the front sleeve). 1 Interior Ball Pocket. 1 Bottle Pocket. Two padded sleeves. It opens up wide to access everything inside. 2 large zippered pockets on the inside plus two smaller pockets for quick access to other accessories and one zippered pocket on the outside to hold phone/wallet/keys.
Minor thing but important to me is that I can make it my own a lot easier than the other two bags. The material's thin enough for enamel pins in good spaces and was able to sew a patch onto the front. I had mixed results with iron-on patches on the other two bags.
The only criticism I have of the bag is minor; the bag doesn't quite hold its shape on its own and the bag is slightly asymmetrical due to the collapsible design. But maybe it'll work itself out over time.
Moving "Forwrd" I'll be using this bag as my main pickleball bag, but use the Court Caddy in the winter months when I have to carry court shoes.
When I buy something I like to buy something nice and never have to buy again. This is the best pickleball on the market hands down. Very well built. Will be using it for traveling also so multipurpose for me. I love it so much.
