Chip Strokes Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 i've got a push cart on my christmas wish list for the wife. i'm bouncing back and forth between a refurbished clic gear 3.5+ at around $209 and one of the costco caddytek carts which is about half of that price right now on sale. all other things being equal - the big difference here is that the clicgear has a hand brake(which i believe i'd prefer) and the caddytek a foot brake. my question - is the convenience of a hand brake worth the extra cost of the clicgear cart? or is the clicgear built that much better than caddytek that the cost is well worth it? thanks in advance Nolan220, Micah T, BNewton51 and 3 others 6 Quote SIM2 8º | KuroKage XD 70TX SIM 3W 14º | Fujikura Atmos Black Tour Spec 9TX SIM2 5W 18º | Fujikura Ventus Black 10X U500 2i | Fujikura Ventus HB Black 10TX T100 4-PW | Dynamic Gold X7 SM6 52* SM8 56* SM8 60* | Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 DW | BGT Stability Tour Link to comment
Tom the Golf Nut Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I can tell you that I hardly have to use a brake at all and I live and play in a mountainous area. I have a three wheel bag boy with foot brakes. If I'm on a steep hill I just turn the cart perpendicular to the hill. I know the courses you play and they are far less hilly than the ones I play now. I wouldn't let the brake type be the deciding factor. I don't have any experience with clicgear but I know they reviewed well.

LeftyRM7 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Personally I couldn’t stomach spending that chunk of money on a cart. It’s really personal preference, depending on if you’re looking for something that does the job or if you really want the extra bells and whistles. I bought a $35 bag cart off of Amazon a year and a half ago, it lives in the bed of my truck and I have no complaints.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk josmi15, MattF, GregGarner and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk i can see that perspective for sure. but after shelling out for lessons, clubs, balls, greens fees, etc...spending 100-200 on something that's going to help me enjoy my rounds more doesn't seem like a huge price to pay. plus i full expect any cart i buy to last 3+ seasons. i think that's money well spent, especially when you consider how many people go out and drop $500 on a new driver each and every year. 49 minutes ago, Golf Dawg said: Check fleabay with a recurring search on cliq gear carts.

Silverhorn43 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I had both of those carts in my radar a few weeks back when I was looking myself, and the foot brake/hand brake was something that was a factor. I had rented push carts for a couple rounds and one cart I had did have the foot brake, which seemed awkward at the time having to bend and step under the cart to set/release. That said, my 3rd option was a Bag Boy Nitron, and that's what I'm pushing now, and can't be happier. It DOES have the hand brake and I like it SO much better, just easier to manipulate. That would be my two-cents on the subject. The reason I chose the Bag Boy was for the one handed (basically) open/close one it. Just lift up, and it pretty much opens itself. This falls into your $200 price range of the Clic-gear. Good luck with your search!

rkj427 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Another Clicgear user here, although I have the 3.0 model, it has served it's purpose very well over the time I have owned it. I saw the posts about the cart at Costco and thought if I get to the store this weekend, I could check them out, as that is a very good price for them, although I am unsure about how sturdy or durable they are compared to the Clicgear. I personally would recommend a Clicgear to anyone, more due to the fact that they could be considered the "King of the Hill" that the other's are trying to imitate or catch-up too for what they offer. Just my opinion.................................

My bag doesn't have a cart strap thing, but if it did, I don't believe it could reach. The 4.0 has "new" rubber straps on them, but they're not very long. I have a Nike stand bag that seems to be the same size as every other stand bag I've used, so I don't think it's an issue with having a fat bag. All of that said, I don't think it needs to go through a cart strap slot, the rubber straps hold really well. If I remember, I'll take some pictures tomorrow to show you how much slack I have. I can't seem to find any closeup photos online with a bag hooked to the cart.

edingc Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Caddytek makes a nice cart, though I've never used the umbrella or drink holder. The foot brake is OK. Kind of annoying, but it's functional. I don't use the brake that often as it usually is pretty good about staying in place on it's own. I personally wouldn't have spent more at the time (or now) just because of the handbrake. I now have two full seasons on it and well over 500 miles walking. Everything is still in great shape minus a few loose stitches on the cooler pocket. My Sun Mountain bag has a better cooler, so the cart's cooler is rarely used anyway.

HardcoreLooper Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 We have one ClicGear 3.5 in my household that's about 5 years old and has several hundred rounds on it. It's been used at various times by me and both of my daughters. I bought my youngest daughter her own ClicGear last fall. And when both girls were playing quite a bit with me in the Spring and I got tired of carrying a half set, I got a Rovic (another brand from ClicGear) with Alphard eWheels. So we're a three ClicGear family now. They are absolutely indestructible. I just finally replaced the bungee cords on the old one a few months ago. yungkory, edingc, MattF and 1 other 4 Quote What's in the bag: Driver - F8 - Aldila NV Blue 60 ( S ) 3 Wood (13.5*) - 980F 4 Wood (18*) - F8 - Aldila NV Blue 60 ( S ) 3 Hybrid (19*) - RBZ 4i - PW - D7 Forged - Recoil 760 ( S ) 52* - CBX 58* - CBX Full Face 2 Putter - Craz-e Bag - 2.5 (Blue) Ball - AVX Instagram - @hardcorelooper Twitter - @meovino Facebook - mike.eovino Link to comment

Frankly it's just too much as you get older. I haven't yet invested in a pushcart, but definitely have been eyeing up the Clic Gear and a few other brands. I wasn't aware that Costco had one. I definitely will be looking into that today. Just kills me to think I'm spending $200+ on a good bag with legs and then putting out another $200 for a push cart. Just seems like overkill, but you can't really argue with the convenience and functional pieces it brings to walking the course. I'll definitely have to do some more research and see what other MyGolfSpy'ers have to say for input. Play Well!! MattF 1 Quote BNewt51 Golf Addict.... Father of 4.

Firebird Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) My old buggy has a foot brake and swivel front wheel and I found being able to lock the front wheel was more important that having a brake particularly on a hilly course. My wife now uses it and she finds the foot brake better than the hand brake she had on her old buggy. I also find that I have know issues with not having a brake on my GolfKart electric buggy, as mentioned all you need to do is turn it sideways on a hill as the front wheel is fixed, just do not do this with the Caddyteck if the wheel is not locked as it will take off down the hill. One last thing to the umbrella holder on the Clicgear have an issue with the retainer rubber band thingy. They do not work very well.

As promised: My bag isn't necessarily large IMO, but it is almost on the last notch. Not sure if I had a passthrough that it would fit, but I'm super pleased with these new straps. It's so easy to secure my bag down compared to the Caddytek, I wasn't a fan of their drawstring things.
