   Let me start out by writing why I bought a push cart in the first place. I’m a rider and I wanted to play for cheaper rates, carts are so expensive.My theory was that this would pay for itself cart=17.00 per round play 12 rounds and this baby is paid for. I read many reviews and couldn’t find how easy or hard this was to push. Which I really wanted to know because my old 2 wheel pull cart was complete torture to use I would rather walk in agony than to deal with that hunk of junk. Anyways I’m skinny and have no muscle (haha) and this push cart is SICK easy to push. 90% of the time I have one hand in my pocket and ONE finger on the cart. If you are going down a slight incline or a big one just let this bad boy go (I’ve had it up to 10-12 mph myself). Where’s it going to go? it’s certainly not going to flop over or anything it’s way too solid & nice and wide for that not to mention it’s kind of blast to watch your clubs go flying down the fairway. When I go up hills it’s 3 times easier than carrying. This cart is the nicest part of my golf game and certainly looks better than it too. I can’t think of anything I would change for the good on this unit. If your hesitant in purchasing this cart I just don’t see how you would be disappointed, this thing is great. The only thing I would add is a yard counter on one of wheels. So since I was feeling very cool about about my cart I got a GPS unit (igolf neo $137.oo w/shipping). The Clicgear cart comes with a bunch of extras that are included and others that you buy. You have to buy the GPS holder($15.00) but man am I hooked up this cart and a GPS right on the handlebars for very easy viewing. This is the nicest thing I have purchased in a while. I have to say I don’t review many items but felt a need to with this, I hope this helps.

   UPDATE 10/20/09
   
   I have now used this cart for a full season and it still works and looks like new. The paint hasn’t faded and the wheels still roll true. I have saved $510.00 on cart fees so it has more than paid for itself. Also everyone I play with (strangers) really like it and ask me a bunch of questions, of course “how much does something like that cost” is one of the first questions they ask. I think because it looks super slick on the course haha.

   I have been using my ClicGear for about 2 months now. Had been using a Sun Mountain speed cart, but just got tired of pumping and repairing flat tires. I love this cart. Quality and convenience throughout. Pushes easily, rolls true, feels and looks substantial, yet it easily folds to a neat little package that’s only 13″ x 15″ wide and 24″ high. I used to hate cleaning cart wheels every time I put the Sun Mountain in the van. With this little baby, it’s totally unnecessary. I bought a little plastic pan that’s about 14″ x 20″. Now the cart and the shoes just sit right in the pan and any debris is contained. This is really a neat little package. The only small complaint I have is that the brakes do not engage as smoothly as the Sun Mountain did. I consider this a small price to pay for the other overwhelming advantages.

   This is arguably the Cadillac of non-motorized push carts. I did a lot of internet research on carts: reading of claims, counter-claims, and reviews, and this is the one I decided on. I’m very glad of my decision. I had it out of the box and unfolded in a snap; the folding and unfolding are extremely easy to manage–just make sure you trip the side latch as well as the pull one before you try to open it up, and you’re golden. It fits easily in my trunk, and takes up about the same space as the medium gym bag I carry my shoes and hat in. I took it out for its maiden round on a hilly, winding course while it rained for the first several holes. The cart was a dream to push: almost no rolling resistance at all, even over thick wet grass. It handled easily over cart path curbs, crushed gravel paths, normal fairways–you name it, it handled it just fine. The hand brake is very reliable, allowing me to park on some fairly steep hillsides with confidence. The console isn’t waterproof, but in a light rain it might as well be. I kept three spare balls, my cell phone, and some other odds and ends in mine and everything stayed dry. There is an umbrella holder (for when it’s folded up, for storage) that’s much easier to access than the one on the bag, as well as two towel clips. There is also a small Velcro spot above each towel clip that is perfect for holding your golf glove when you’re not wearing it. My only two nits to pick: the driver and fairway wood(s) extend far enough to interfere with getting to the console easily. I lowered the adjustable handle one click and that improved access tremendously. Also, my golf umbrella has a rubber “pistol grip” that doesn’t fit into the provided tube for mounting it to the cart’s handle. That handle mount would have been very handy yesterday. Oh, well. Just make sure your umbrella has a fairly small-diameter handle. Seriously, if you’re in the market for a well-made and very comfortable-to-use cart, you should spend the money and get one you’re going to love for a long time.

   I was impressed by the clicgearusa website presentation of this cart but skeptical. After purchasing one I am happy to say that it has proven my inital skepticism completely unfounded. It literally takes me no more than 5 to 7 seconds to unfold or fold this cart. One note, the very first time you are looking to unfold it (right out of the box) remember to unlock the main folding clip. I forgot about the clip (the very first time) and couldn’t figure out why I was feeling resistance to pulling it open…and then I realized I was retarded and didn’t flip the clip open (even though the instructional manuals tells you to open the clip first).

   The cart moves wonderfully across all sorts of terrain, has held my large cart bag, as well as my smaller stand bag. The pedal on my stand bag makes it sit a little odd on the cart but with no issue beyond the way it looks a little to the side. Functions fine, looks off-kilter.

   My only issue with the cart is two-fold and related to the beverage holder. One, if you have a beverage that is around half-full or more, you will spill it while pushing this cart (but that is probably the case with most cart beverage holders)…except, there is a tendency for the spillage to end up on your scorecard if you are keeping it in the top holder. This is easily avoidable if you hold your beer (err…I mean soda pop can) in your hand while pushing the cart (which is easily pushed and steered with one hand). The other issue is again, if you have your scorecard kept in the top holder and you have a “soda pop” in the beverage holder, depending on the size of the card, it will interfere a smidge when opening the magnetic lid…very minor issue. However, if they push the handle bar a little further back and place the beverage holder in the center of the bar (like I have seen on other carts) it would eliminate both of the above issues. This might not be an issue with a half-full water bottle but I haven’t used bottles, just cans.

   These issues are so minor though that I feel bad it costing the cart a star in my review…but, 5 stars would equal perfect and this cart is NEARLY perfect. If I could, I would have rated it 4.8 stars.

   In the spirit of full disclosure: I did NOT purchase this cart from Amazon so I cannot make any representation as to how it arrives from them. I would, however, recommend checking with some of your local “mom & pop” golf shops because I purchased the brand new 2.0 for $180 ($20 less than anywhere else on the web including amazon) from a local small store. Even with the tax that I paid (in NY) it came out to $5 cheaper than online even before you get hit with any tax or shipping fees.

   As you can probably tell, I highly recommend this cart…as a matter of fact, a friend of mine bought his at the same time with me and he loves it as well (and disagrees with me on the beverage holder being a legitimate issue) and another friend, after seeing it in action the past two weeks has declared he MUST have one and is going to go buy one in the next week or so.

   I bought this a month ago from my local pro shop, who has always steered me right and again this time. The cart is very-high quality materials and the design is very innovative.

   Pros:

   -Once you learn the three easy levers to fold/unfold it is ready to go in less than 30 seconds
   
   -Easy to push, large maintenance-free wheels
   
   -the design is very cool. The structure is very solid. At the handle, under the magnetic door holds my cell, balls and keys, etc and on the top, securly holds score card and pencil. Very nice. Drink holder is very convenient.
   
   -very-high quality materials throughout, it is worth every penny.

   Cons:

   -the way it folds and unfolds you can pinch your fingers. Be careful (if not, it only takes one time to learn ) This is not a big deal
   
   -the way it folds it is always takes about 15″ in height, no matter how you turn it. If you trunk has the vertical room, then you are OK. Mine, it takes just a little arrangement to get it the vertical room it needs in the trunk.
   
   -hate to mention this, but, the drink holder, though very convenient, is far away from the wheels (center of gravity) and the net result of this is that it shakes my beverage just a little too much! I am having to drink a little faster once I pop the top. . . which may be helping my golf game, not sure!

   Bottom line: It is well worth it, the quality will last for many years. The convenience is amazing.
