The Prodigy Disc BP-2 V3 comes in new color to go along with its excellent features. The tear and water resistant Nylon Ripstop Fabric keeps the bag lightweight and long lasting, while the improved zippers are equipped with better pulls and are waterproofed and taped for added resistance to the elements.
The BP-2 V3 has an excellent amount of space for a mid-sized bag, holding approximately 28 discs while offering large side pockets. You’ll also find improved insulated bottle holders to better keep the temperature of your drink. Prodigy has also increased padding on the back and shoulder straps for more comfort. With the umbrella holder, this bag tops it off to ensure you can carry everything you need for all conditions with ease.

Great second bag. In the main compartment I carry 18 discs (6 putters/mids, 12 drivers), with room for 1-2 more discs if you don't mind it getting tight. I carry 4 approach discs in the top, with a bit of room for another one if I want. I carry my two putters in the front pocket and can fit another in if I really want. The flap is pretty tight, but I can carry a small driver in there. The side pockets are tight as well. I saw reviews saying you could fit 2-3 discs in there but they have to be super thin discs because I can only fit one in each while still being able to zip the pocket, two if I leave it unzipped. I typically carry 25 discs total (2 putting putters, 2 throwing putters, 4 approach discs, 4 mids, 7 fairways, 6 distance drivers), but there is room for about 30 if you don't mind things being super tight.
Since I don't use the side pockets, I can stuff a small jacket in one and my keys, wallet, phone, snacks, and other accessories in the other. There's room for two 32oz bottles, but the fit is pretty tight for those. I usually just carry one 24oz bottle for casual rounds and it fits great. There's a deep side pocket for a retriever if you carry one. The chest strap is an underrated bonus. Overall, it's a great bag. I paid $56 for it which makes it a steal, but I think even at $75-80 it's great value for money.

I bought the Prodigy BP 2 v3 in April of 2022. It has held up wonderfully. I have not seen anything break or tear on it yet despite playing 3-5 times per week. I carry about 28 discs in total. 3 in the top pouch, 2-3 in the front pouch then about 20 in the main bag. If I try to force more discs in it gets pretty tight. If you carry more drivers and few putters/mids you might be able to fit 30 in it. It is very comfortable to carry and has plenty of padding on the back and shoulder straps. Only negative is that the water bottle holders are not big enough for bigger water bottles such as hydroflasks. However, I have gotten around this because the side pockets are so big that I can fit it in there and zip up both zippers so only the top is sticking out. The side pockets are quite big, in the other side pocket I easily fit my phone, lanyard and keys, wallet, mini, whale sack, and marker.
Overall, this is a great bag for the price especially for non-pro players. I feel like I can carry everything I need and more as an intermediate/advanced level player
I love the bag, but it just is missing something, maybe another pocket or having it be a little sturdier would be nice.
The fabric is quality and water resistant.
This bag holds for me 18 discs plus two putters, but the putter pouch is tight for two Banger GTs.
There is not enough storage space for accessories and snacks/drinks - need a little more, but then you could upgrade to the biggest bag.
It fits well, and holds discs. It is quality and has not ripped on me. Worth the money.
Really enjoyed this bag while it was working. Held tons of discs and plenty of storage for other stuff. Also very comfortable and light. Unfortunately, within a couple weeks and only a few rounds the buckle on the right shoulder strap broke and the strap will no longer cinch. Makes this bag nearly useless as I can now only carry it on my left shoulder.
I wanted to love this bag, but one of the plastic pieces on the shoulder strap broke after 2 rounds (not even sure how). Back to my DD Trooper for now. And out $65.
Loving this bag for the price! This bag is competing with bags that are double the cost. It probably isn't the most durable and probably doesn't do EVERYTHING the best, but for the weekend warrior who plays 2 rounds a week, this bag will serve you super well and will last a long time for a really small investment.
Comfort: I cannot say I feel anything uncomfortable while carrying this. It honestly feels fantastic and balanced. the pads are beefy and the straps are very comfy. Carries the weight well (and this can carry a lot for its price point).
Capacity: I have it packed full but with nothing squeezed or forced in tight. 22 discs fit perfectly without needing to squeeze anything in. 7 putters/mids and 12 drivers in the main compartment, and 3 putters in the putter pouch. 2 putters fits a little better, but I reckon with more time to break in, the putter pouch will fit the third and probably a fourth a bit better. It's not really an issue of holding them, so much as pulling them out quickly. That may be the only design flaw for me - it would have made a lot of sense to make the opening just a hair wider to more easily pull out all 3-4 putters at the same time. I'm using the bag dividers as well and wow they fit great and make it a lot easier to store midranges so they don't eat your smaller discs.
Features: for this price point, I can't imagine better features. Two insulated beverage holders (hellllloooo course beers), two medium-large sized water resistant zipper pockets for a wind layer, hat, cellphone, keys, towels, snacks, etc. Umbrella holder. Mini holder (no idea why other reviewers aren't counting the front pocket as a mini holder I use a 6" mini and it fits super great).
Durability: will have to update review later as this becomes more apparent.
Again, 19 discs in main compartment (including 7 putters/mids) and 2-4 additional putters in the putter pouch for a COMFORTABLE 21-23 discs. If you've outgrown your old shoulder sling/school backpack and want something a lot bigger with quality features at a great price, you'd be a fool to not check this one out.
The Prodigy BP-2 V3 disc golf basket is an awesome midsize bag. It is made of durable Nylon ripstop fabric, insulated water bottle holders, reinforced straps and padding. The main compartment holds about 26 discs including easy to access discs out of the top compartment.
For the most part, I do like this bag, but there is one major flaw. The good things are that it looks great and seems well built, stands up with ease, has plenty of storage, etc., all the things you should expect from a bag...
BUT, the structural part of the bottom of the bag digs into your back pretty badly. I usually could overlook shortcomings on the design (another on this bag being the lack of a pouch for your mini marker), but sharp plastic digging into your back is a bit much to overlook.
