Tom54 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I'm in the market for a new push cart. I'm using the Sun Mountain V1 speed cart and let's say it's lived down to its bottom of the rankings spot in the 2015 Most Wanted Push Carts. Does anyone have a push cart they think highly of? That's durable and doesn't take up too much space folded up in the car? And also works well in uneven terrain and sandy/dirt areas? Thanks! Driver: Callaway Epic Max LS 9.0*.

hckymeyer Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Sounds like you already found the Most Wanted testing, that's a great place to start. I'd also read through the Big Max Autofold forum member reviews. One of the guys was using your same cart before he got the Big Max for review. https://forum.mygolfspy.com/topic/16994-official-forum-member-review-big-max-autofold-ff/ Personally I have a Clickgear and it works fine. I only walk one round a year (before they let carts out) so it's only been used a handful of times. I have no complaints about it though.

sixcat Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I have a Clicgear 3.0 and my daughter has a 3.5. I can't say enough good things about mine. After suffering through a portion of a season with another brand that ultimately collapsed on the 16th hole of my home course, I bought the Clicgear in 2011 and haven't looked back. I walk 18 holes approximately 3 times per week from March through early November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GolfSpy Barbajo Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Been using the Big Maxx Blade for the past two seasons - awesome cart, folds up flat for easy storage, VERY easy to fold up and comes with a carrying bag so you don't get grass and crap in your trunk.

McaseyM Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I was lucky enough to be chosen to review the Big Max Auto Fold and it is badass, especially coming from an older Sun Mountain V1. In our review thread, there's some great insight from someone that's used other Big Max carts too. If you're a regular walker, definitely worth investing a quality new one. With the PGA Show coming up, there may be some previous models getting closed out for great prices, or something new worth waiting for. Great time to be in the market.

Philly Golf Guy Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Another vote for the Big Max. I have a smaller run and it fits in very easily. It's easy to fold/unfold and seems to float on the course. A very solid pushcart that does everything I wanted in one very well.

PlaidJacket Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 There's also one sold at Costco that's similar to the Clicgear that looks good too.

Kenny B Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 The Bag Boy Quad XL is intriguing. I have the Sun Mountain MicroCart and while it's OK, I do have a few issues with it. However, I have to have a cart that folds up so that I can get TWO of them and TWO cart bags in my trunk. The SM does that. If the BB Quad XL folds up to a similar size then I might consider a change. The Clicgear and I think the Big Max would take up too much space, even by folding flat. “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPY VIP GolfSpy Dave Posted December 29, 2016 SPY VIP Share Posted December 29, 2016 I've used more than my share of carts over the years and the one currently in the garage in the Clicgear 3.5+ Durable, folds small, great accessories, and you can catch them at a discount if you look for the % off coupons at dicks and such. They even have a parts shop online if you should need a replacement/repair. Hoping to see a 4.0 model in 2017.

I'm kind of down on Sun Mountain right now. I had the previous Speed Cart with the tires, but it got old having to inflate them. And the newer Speed Cart, as I said, lived down to the bottom of the rankings of the Most Wanted test. Right now my front wheel won't lock when folded anymore. Not an issue with my wife and I. We both have SM bags that fit the Microcart triangular base. The bag locks in and doesn't move. I like having no straps to hold the bag. If I ever change carts, I would first have to check whether the bag moves around on the cart. I hate that. Kenny: The BB Quad XL is not the smallest package when folded...

Thanks for the measurements. I'm not sure what they are for the SM Micro; I'll check tomorrow. I'don't think the height and width would be an issue; the length is the critical one for my trunk space. “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Approx dimensions: 19" across at the front wheels 25" overall length 16" height at the pushbar handle IMG_20161229_220825340.jpg I just checked my SM MicroCart dimensions. 15.5" across the back wheels (widest) 25" overall length 13" height at the pusher handle The BagBoy Quad XL measurements would also fit my trunk, even though it is 3 inches wider and higher. The critical dimension for me is the length and they are the same. However, I have the original SM MicroCart that I bought 8-9 years ago. The newer model has bigger rear wheels and the dimensions may be different than mine. I may put the BB Quad XL on my wish list.
