The Galaxy Grip Bag by Humes & Berg is able to stand freely because of the weighted molded plastic base which provides protection as well as balance. The entire upper third of the bag comes off via the double zipper giving you full access to all of your sticks and mallets. The top part of the bag can also be used to store a towel for trap tables or for your sweaty clammy hands. Comfortably holds 15-25 pairs of mallets. The entire bag is protected from the elements because of its high-denier polyester exterior which is also reinforced to keep anything from hurting your expensive mallets.
