Most pipers are playing a bag that's too big, and it has real physical costs. An oversized bag means less arm leverage, tighter hands, and can contribute to neck, jaw, shoulder, back, and wrist problems — there's no upside to sizing up.
I measured all five of my bag sizes across nine dimensions and share the numbers. From circumference behind the drone stocks to full curved length, the measurements show that "extended" sizes aren't just longer in the back, they're also wider around.
The right bag is the smallest one you can play comfortably. I myself, not a small person, play the smallest standard bag because it sits higher under my arm and gives me better leverage and control — clothing size has nothing to do with pipe bag size.
