    Hi there all 730 or 524 owners, was wondering anyone have got 730 or 524. I have to choose either one of these as my gift, and i'm not sure which is better since i've not seen any of the both.

    I need it for 3 rackets but will have more soon. I need to have my shoes in, clothes, bottle and so on.

    My choice would be depending on the durability and how spacy it is. Also, if possible the style of the bag. Bcos i cant really get a better view on them.

    Please share your views.

    Well, 730 is a really oversize bag while 524 is certainly big enough for most of the users here.

    It will really depends on how many stuff you have :)

    The 730 is not a common bag, it's a rectangular team/duffle bag for carrying lots of stuff. The dimensions are approximately: 30"x14"x14. If you are looking for a racket bag, based on your needs, I'd suggest you get the 524 or even better the 724 which is Yonex most popular bag and readily available.

    Well there actually the same size its just the design of the bag thats the major difference. They both mesure 75 x 22 x 32cm and both have 2 compartments. Personally I own a 724 6 racquet bag and well i liek it cause it has 2 shoulder straps so it can be wron liek a backpack but the 524 has a single shoulder strap so it cannot be worn like a backpack. I know the 724 has an internal compartment for shoes and so does the 524 i believe, its just the design which can be seen in the pictures.

    Well I hope that helps you, anything I missed and im sure I missed something somebody ealse will fill you in with.

    Edit: 724 on Left and 524 on Right

    The 724 is a first-rate bag. I just wish they made it in a 3 compartment for the U.S.

    it's called teh 2424( or 2424-9)

    only in blue, three compartments, 2 shoulder straps, 3 short handles

    edit:
    2424 is 2 compart. 2424-9 (mine) is three:

    [​IMG] great bag...everyting fits so far..
    shoes, rackets(6 at one time, in 1 compartment) 3 tubes of feathers, shitload of clothes, towel, etc...great bag, perhaps overkill...

    Sorry, nope. I have the 2424-9 as well as had the 2424. Though similar, they're not the same bag. The features are a bit different and the material too. The 724 nylon is a bit thicker. The 2424s are more malleable.

    The idea is the same but the straps are different. The 724 has plastic buckles that are non adjustable/fixed while the 2424s have aluminum ones and you can adjust them, two positions.

    When did I say I stuck with the 724? I did not. I said I would it if was bigger, had 3 compartments. :p Three compartment is only available in Europe (maybe Asia too).

    I'm working on getting a 724-9 right now...from Europe. :)

    :p No worries. :) The 2424-9 is probably the best bag available after testing/buying so many bags. The only reason why I want a 724-9 is because no one here has one. I told so many people locally the 2424-9 was the best, many went out and bought one so it gets confusing at times. :p

    That's all. If I had it my way, I'd stick with the 2424-9...maybe in a different color. Hint...hint...hint...Yonex, you here me? :D
