Made this a little while ago using LuDans idea and a little help from Joker. Figured I should make a thread instead of having it hidden in his.

Yeah they should've thought of it already but oh well this way I get to tinker with stuff.
Thinking about drilling a 2 1/2" hole in the shelf so it will hold a solo cup.

For sure. Instead of replacing my bag I'm going to use everyone's ideas and make shelves/bat sleeves

I need bat sleeves for a boombah beast roller. Anybody got that design down yet?

These are the ones I made for my DDs vendetta roller using Masonite, 1" seat foam from Walmart, 2 yards of costume black fabric from Walmart, and 3m spray. The same concept should work for the boombah roller.

great, we have like 3 threads in the same week taht are pretty much the exact same with different brand of turd bags that need extra engineering. while i think it is a good idea, i think the manufacturers should keep this **** in mind when designing a bag. especially a $200 demarini turd bag.

You're right they should have thought of this a long time ago. Only made the separate thread so it would get picked up by a search since it was kinda hidden in LuCan's thread.

haha. sorry to seem harsh. i just think for the price of the black ops series, they could be a little nicer/sturdier.

I agree, if I hadn't had 20% off at ****s sporting goods I wouldn't have gotten it.

Thanks Lu.

Seat foam is near the fabric/arts and crafts section in Walmart. IIRC it came in a white package. I cut it in 2" wide pieces I believe. If I was gonna do it again I would try to find some 1/4" thick foam for the bats to lay on.

Just built the PVC frame for my shelf. I used a little bit different dimensions than the OP so that the shelf will fit snugly between the wheel wells at the bottom of the Black Ops Roller. Dimensions of mine are as follows: 12 1/2" tall, 10" wide, and 8 1/2" deep.

Yeah lol I tried building one using your dimensions and when I went to wedge mine in there a piece of PVC and a fitting cracked. So I changed it up a little.

There must be slight variations on the sizing of the bags because the one I made for my brother-in-law didn't fit thr same as mine.

even the least handy person can buy pvc pipe, a pipe cutter and use a tape measure

Didn't everyone here build with K'nex or an erector set as a kid? Is it really that hard to cut something to length and piece it together. All hope for mankind has been lost if you cannot do this DIY project.
