I’m a pro player and this backpack has absolutely everything !! They have thought about everything it takes to have ONE bag for your everyday stuff AND pickleball! Highly recommend this product.

With the hundreds of backpacks on the market, I was a little suspect as to what just another backpack with pockets would be like and especially for the price. But after using the backpack for a couple of weeks, it is everything and more. It is so well engineered and thought out there is little left that needs to be addressed. Just think of this...we replace our $200 paddles every year and don't think twice about it. Here's a backpack that will last your years.
OKTŌ™ PICKLEBALL BAG
Pickleball bags are no longer “just bags”—they’re evolving into full-featured gear hubs. The latest entry, the oktō™ bag, checks nearly every box for storage, accessibility, and thoughtful design.
Paddle Storage
Right up front: this bag holds up to four paddles on the outside, where they’re visible and easy to grab. Many bags—including my Six Zero—bury paddles inside zipped pockets, forcing you to dig around to find the one you want. The KTCHN Court Caddy also displays paddles, but requires removing the paddle holder from the bag to see them. The oktō™ design solves both problems elegantly.
Quick-Access Pocket
A clever magnetic pocket (that also zips for security) keeps essentials like your phone, wallet, or keys handy without having to unzip the main compartment. It’s small details like this that separate a great bag from a good one.
Ball Storage
The dedicated ball pocket is inside, but positioned where balls are visible and within quick reach—no rummaging required. By comparison, the KTCHN Court Caddy’s external ball storage tends to collapse inward, leaving balls scattered inside.
Hooks, Not Tabs
Fence hooks may seem minor, but they’re a huge upgrade over the interlocking tabs most bags use. They make hanging your bag at the courts simple and reliable.
Insulated Compartment
One of my favorite features—an insulated storage area. Perfect for lunch, snacks, or keeping drinks cold, but just as useful for valuables like keys or cash when you don’t want them mixed in with sweaty gear.
Shoe (or Towel) Compartment
At the bottom is a dedicated shoe pocket. I use it for an oversized towel, but it’s versatile enough for either purpose.
Expandable Sides
Need more room? Both sides unzip to provide extra storage space—a smart touch when you’re carrying more than usual.
Final Verdict
The oktō™ bag isn’t just thoughtfully designed—it’s the most complete pickleball bag I’ve used. For players who want more than “just a bag,” it’s hard to beat.
I love all the pockets where I can store the items I take to the courts. I also love that I don't have to lay it down to access items so they won't fall out. This shoe compartment is actually usable in this bag and I carry either my court shoes or street shoes to the court now. Great bag! The insulated food container carries our protein drinks for after play.
I love my bag. It has a pocket for everything I use. Great size and fit!
