I find that it always exciting to be among the first to use new racquets, new balls, new gloves, and new bags. 🙂
Over the time that I’ve been posting on this website, I have done a series of posts about “What’s In My Bag”. There was a series of videos in 2017 from the pros taking stuff out of their bags that inspired the first post. I don’t want to see how much stuff it holds, I need to see how well it can organize that stuff and keep it accessible. My posts have therefore always focused on that aspect of the bag.
Gearbox has just released their newest Go Backpack to their sponsored athletes across all of the sports that Gearbox supports [Racquetball, Pickleball, Paddleball, and Squash], in a new white based color scheme that is completely different from everything I’ve seen from them before. It will be released to the general racquetball playing public in October 2026. There are two additional bag styles that will hold racquetball racquets, the Ready Backpack and the Championship Bag. There is also a Gameday Bag coming at the same time, but it will only hold pickleball paddles (and perhaps paddleball paddles).
The photos below will demonstrate what I’ve put in the bag, and where it fits.

I’ve grabbed some of the text from the Gearbox site to ensure that I cover all the bases with this new bag.
