I have two Sun Mountain push carts, the Micro and The Reflex, which I reviewed for The Sand Trap.  Both are great carts. My wife uses the Reflex because she likes the looks better.  My friends liked t

Another screenshot for my FB post. Not sure why it's giving me so many issues.

The Speed cart rolls better over rough terrain than the Micro.  But the Micro folds smaller and will fit better in your trunk if space is an issue. Keep this in mind when choosing.  And good luck!

Which one keeps the bag secure better?  My current cart (not Sun Mountain brand) has an issue where my bag seems to roll 90 degrees to one side or the other during the round.  It's annoying and I have to stop and reset it.  

(I'm aware this post is not an entry;  I will post my entry before too long)

Both of these look awesome by the way.

I think both have a bottom that pairs up with some Sun Mountain bags to hold them securely.

I can't say which holds the bag straighter. Can anyone shed some light on this?

I've only played one round with the review unit of the Speed Cart GT I got, but my bag didn't budge an inch. It used to move all over the place with my old cart.

Thank you!  That sort of information helps me very much.

I'm hoping to win a Gunmetal and Red Speed Cart GT from @SunMountainGolf and @the_sand_trap:

https://shop.sunmountain.com/Speed-Cart-GT-20119-detail.html

It looks just like this one:
https://shop.sunmountain.com/images/stories/virtuemart/product/resized/speed_cart_gt_gunmetal_red_450x350.jpg

I currently use a Bag Boy Express 120 cart.  It's fine and gets the job done, but there are things I'd like that the Sun Mountain Speed Cart GT improves on.  With my current cart, I spend some effort keeping it balanced as I move about my course.  There's only so much attention I can pay to things during a round of golf, and having one less thing to pay attention to will allow me to focus on the things that matter, like my approach shots.  I understand that the Speed Cart has better balance and would obviate this somewhat. 

You know what annoys me about my current cart?  My bag moves on it.  I try to secure it, but sure enough, it's going to rock side to side during the round.  Eventually it's at 90 degrees, great weather to play in but not great for the bag to be.  I understand this is less of an issue with the Sun Mountain Speed Cart.

And while we're at it, I look forward to customizing this cart.  I drink plenty of water during a round, and when walking, it's vital to have a way to carry it.  Carrying water was why I got a cart in the first place -- carrying with 64+ ounces of water on one's back wasn't a great plan for an underweight kid.   The oversized cup holder accessory will hold an insulated cup and I can either get a cooler pouch to keep my other bottles insulated or wrap my current pouch around the cart.  Tack on a seat and I have even less to worry about during the six hour rounds I have gotten used to in L.A. City courses.  And with the handy mesh basket accessory, I don't have to worry about where my head covers go (I lost one during a round recently).

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.

      Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings.

      IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
