Dunlop CX Performance Tennis Bag (12 Racquet)

Fits twelve racquets, seals them behind thermal-grade PU-coated 600D and 1680D polyester, and stashes your shoes in a dedicated section away from the strings. Tourists photograph the pier and miss everything. Southampton answers to those who look two streets over — same logic applies here.

Four stops before the checkout

Southampton, United Kingdom
01
clinics for cardio Fort Lauderdale — Dunlop CX Performance Tennis Bag (12 Racquet) photographed at SeaCity Museum beside the huge scale model of the Titanic in Southampton
Stop one

SeaCity Museum and its huge scale model of the Titanic

Dunlop CX Performance Tennis Bag (12 Racquet): Everyone rushes to the Titanic model, naturally, but the real point is Southampton two steps to the side: most of Titanic’s crew came from here, and SeaCity tells that story properly. Try not to stand in the doorway like you discovered it.

02
clinics for cardio Fort Lauderdale — Dunlop CX Performance Tennis Bag (12 Racquet) at the Bargate medieval stone gateway with lions guarding the arch in Southampton
Stop two

the Bargate, medieval stone gateway with lions guarding the arch

Dunlop CX Performance Tennis Bag (12 Racquet): No, it’s not a castle, it’s the Bargate—the old northern gateway in Southampton’s medieval walls, built around the late 12th century. The lions are doing more useful work than half the visitors with maps.

03
clinics for cardio Fort Lauderdale — Dunlop CX Performance Tennis Bag (12 Racquet) outside Tudor House with timber framing, jettied floors, and knot garden in Southampton
Stop three

Tudor House, timber framed with jettied floors and knot garden

Dunlop CX Performance Tennis Bag (12 Racquet): Tourists gawp at the timber front and then miss the knot garden, which is exactly why locals walk faster. Tudor House covers more than 800 years of Southampton history, so yes, it has earned the good cobbles.

04
clinics for cardio Fort Lauderdale — Dunlop CX Performance Tennis Bag (12 Racquet) at God's House Tower on the southeast corner of Southampton's walls
Stop four

God's House Tower at the southeast corner of the walls

Dunlop CX Performance Tennis Bag (12 Racquet): Don’t go looking for a chapel and then blame the street signs; God’s House Tower guarded the southeast corner of the town walls and later served as a gaol. The better view is just round the corner, but I’m not drawing you a treasure map.

The Southampton, United Kingdom track

Dunlop CX Performance Tennis Bag (12 Racquet)

Written for this world alone.

Right. Before you buy this, understand what it is, because half the people carrying one are carrying it wrong. The CX Performance 12 racquet bag is a tournament bag. Not a club bag with ambitions — an actual tournament bag, in the CX line's red and black, sized for a player who needs frames, kit and shoes in one carry and does not want to make two trips from the car.

The body is 600D polyester with a PU coating and 1680D polyester with a PU coating, which is the heavier weave used where the bag takes the abuse — corners, base, the panels that meet the ground. That PU coating is what keeps a wet boot rack from getting into your kit.

The build is the part nobody reads.

Inside there are multiple compartments so rackets, clothing and accessories are not living in the same space, a thermal-lined main section to slow down what a hot car does to a string bed, and a separate shoe compartment, which exists so that the shoes stay away from everything else and everyone is happier.

Adjustable shoulder straps carry it as a backpack when it is full, which it will be. The whole thing measures roughly 76 by 44.5 by 34 centimetres.

They come for the Titanic, they do SeaCity Museum, they see the enormous scale model, and they leave. That is not the city.

Now, Southampton, and this is where everyone goes wrong.

Two streets away is the Bargate, a medieval stone gateway with lions guarding the arch, still standing in the middle of the shopping street like nothing happened, and the old walls run on from it to God's House Tower at the southeast corner. Walk that line and you will understand the place.

You will get use out of this bag everywhere from a cold morning by the water to a summer tournament back home, and by the way, Tudor House with its jettied timber floors and knot garden is the best forty minutes in this city and there is never a queue, which tells you everything about how people visit.

"A tournament bag pretending to be luggage, and better at both than it needs to be."
