I received this bag for christmas hoping I could use it for rec play & tournaments. I was attracted to the white color, material, and shape (since there are too many black bags on the market). The pictures didn't show the inside or any of compartments for that matter and marketing didn't do a good job showing the full range of this backpack but I took a chance anyways.
I was disappointed that when unzipping the main compartment, there were no inner pockets to hold smaller items. The small zipper on the front of the bag is difficult to access because it gives access to the left and the right, instead of one side, which makes it very difficult to get what I want in that pocket (and I have small hands).
I had to buy a third party backpack organizer to put inside, but I'm still not happy with it since it collides with the shoe compartment at the bottom which I now don't use for shoes, but for balls because of that reason. I just put the shoes inside along with the backpack organizer for my extra grip tape, wallet, keys, etc.
As someone who needs to bring plenty of things to a tournament with me, I also need a bag big enough to fit a small cliq chair, clothes, water bottles, and quick access to snacks but it's very difficult to rustle through the main compartment.
Overall, if you're somewhat a serious pickleball player or tend to carry a lot of items, this is not the bag for you. I would recommend a backpack from Volk or Mozi which has plenty of pockets and space. This backpack is made well and has some nice features, but all the other backpacks on the market also have them now. Nice looking, but not functional or convenient to use.
