Looking to splash out on an electric trolley.

 

I have narrowed it down to motocaddy S1 with a lithium battery (£399) or the powakaddy FW5 with lead acid battery (£349)

 

Basically I dont want to spend more than £400. The motocaddy has the lithium battery but less features than the Powakaddy....but the powakaddy is lead acid.Is it really that much heavier?

 

I am stuck in the middle here. Does anyone own these? any input or opinions? Would appreciate it!!

Good luck. Electric carts were a bit more popular a decade or so ago. They seem to have declined in popularity lately.

I had no idea that electric carts existed.

FWIW, I wouldn't spend that kind of money on any device with old-generation battery tech, so I'd go with the LI one.

Hmmm, not quite as expensive as I first thought, but maybe not that far off either, since I have no current Idea of the conversion rate from Pounds to Dollars. My buddy was thinking about getting one. I told him they might be the better part of a thousand buck per! That idea went out the window real fast!

My wife has this one (Caddy Trek), it's a remote control plus it has a button that makes it follow her.  Stays about 6 paces behind her.

She used to have this one, but didn't like it.

That may be true up north, but there seem to be a lot of guys using them where I play. The Kangaroo seems to be very popular. They are expensive, but the factory is about 1.5 hours away, and the guys can take their carts there for repairs.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
