Ultimate Pro Style Umpire Ball Bag
The new Ultimate Pro Style Umpire Ball Bag from Ump-Attire.
Next time I need to get new bags I will get these. I loved my old Ultimate Ball Bag, but stopped using it because some of the older and influential guys didn't like them...

I will not use on my right side because it takes too long to get the ball out.

It is a fabulous bag with quality and workmanship features that are top shelf. But, like LMSANS and others have said, it is difficult to plunge your hand into and come out with a ball. I also have to pull it out and purposely bunch the loops so that I can fit my hand inside easily. I know its slender profile will change, but it needs to be offered in a wider size (11.5-to-12 inches?), so that three baseballs and a human hand can all fit nicely. The gold standard used to be the Honig's, which is really put together, and has a forgiving fabric that makes retrieving a ball much easier. Otherwise, this new Ultimate bag is the gold standard. |

I have used this bag for dozens of games now, and have machine washed it several times.
It's the best umpire's ball bag in existence. If mine ever wear out, or if Jim makes one in a 11.5 inch size, I am going to buy only the Ultimate Ball Bag in the future.

Honestly, Im planning on ONLY buying from Jim for these in the future. However, as of course stated, there needs to be more room for baseballs (I like to have three on each side and I like them to lay flat as I rotate... one ball in, one ball out as much as I can).
If he ever brings out the larger size (Jim, can you hear us?) then I am first in line to buy 2 if not 4 of them. |

Pro-Style Ultimate Umpire Ball Bag
I've used the standard ultimate ball bag with the elastic top for years and thought it was a great product, well constructed, efficient and useful. This fall season I switched to the pro-style bag, it took a little bit of getting use-to but overall I like it and would recommend it.
I did have a small problem with the pen/pencil pocket in that it came unstitched on both bags in the same spot. It was easily repaired.

Pro Bag
the only problem I have with the bag is that it is hard to get your hand in the bag to get the baseballs out

I like the bags as well. They look great, but I have a hard time getting my hand in the bag as well. I think it is a combination of the opening size and the way the loops are constructed.
I also purchased some Dry-Lo bags this season. I purchased two black ones to go along with two Navy Ultimate Ball Bags. After using them for a couple of weeks, I decided to order two Dry-Los in Navy.
I just like them better.

To solve the problem of getting in to the bags, just give them a little tug in the middle, once you have them on. After you do this, you can reach in just fine... I've got two and no complaints yet, once I figured out this trick.

I enjoy these bags thoroughly. I have gray and black and love them for baseball. Hopefully they will come with a better opening/loop consturction. They don't work as well with softball either, I'm lucky to get a softball in it at all. But I can fit 4-5 baseballs easily. I do need to tug it a tad to get my hand in and out. I'm going to try them with a different belt and see how that goes.
