Posts Tagged ‘Electric Golf Trolley’

All equipment is important to golfers , but in my opinion the electric golf trolley is now one of my key pieces of kit. Some golfers may feel that they need to carry their golf bag, or pull a trolley, as some sort of macho exercise or to give them  a workout , but whoever you are , and however strong , your energy levels will be higher at the end of your round if you let the electric trolley take the strain of that heavy bag full of equipment.

So many different models are now available that everyone can find one to suit their games and their pockets. Protrolley even sell a remote controlled model for the ultimate in luxury. Also new super lightweight , lithium batteries have become available , to lighten the load even further and to power the trolley longer and all types of golf accessories can be added to the trolley such as brolley and GPS holders , drink carriers and so on , in fact everything you could possibly need during your round.

Make sure you are not using your valuable energy carting your equipment around the course instead of finishing fresh as a daisy behind your electric trolley !

Many things in our life are tiresome ,but often solutions are both simple and close to hand.

One example would be the activity of lugging a heavy bag full of clubs around the course ,complete with waterproofs,drinks,food and a supply of balls. A full bag weighs around 20 kilogrammes , putting a strain on your back, shoulders, arms and neck. So stop carrying that heavy load and let an electric trolley do the work for you. Using one of these carts is about improving your game by literally taking  the weight of your shoulders and allowing you to concentrate on your swing.

Those that have bought an electric trolley are finding it is the perfect playing partner  and more and more players are realising just how important it is to their game. There was a time when using a Protrolley was a luxury , but not anymore. Usage is now commonplace and you rarely see a group without at least one user.

An electric golf trolley, as the name suggests, is a battery operated automatic cart that could be either manual or remote control. It provides easy transportation of clubs from tee to green and allows a normal upright posture while walking. This reduces the risk of strains and injuries. This also provides added comfort and helps the golfer to concentrate on his swing.

There are many benefits of using a powered caddy over a traditional pull or push trolley. With the manual option, you are required to walk around in a bent forward and twisted position. Which after a while can in my experience cause back and shoulder pain, thus negating the benefit of a trolley? The best option is a powered caddy; an electric trolley will transport your clubs from tee to green with ease, whilst allowing you to walk behind the cart in a normal upright position, gently guiding the trolley at you own pace.

The most common of these injuries is the lower-back or spinal injury, closely followed by the left wrist and shoulder. At least three out of every five golfers experience back injuries at some point of time or another. The primary causes of such injuries are due to poor swing mechanics, poor physical fitness and sporadic play.

Owning an electric cart doesn’t have to cost the earth, they are compact, come complete with a range of accessories and cost little more than a quality traditional trolley.

Golf Trolley – Electric Trolleys – Save Your Back

If you want to save your back, an electric  golf trolley is well worth investing in – using one instead of carrying your bag can improve your health and your game.

Invest in an electric  trolley or a push trolley – not one of the pull variety.

Golf may seem like a gentle sport, but lugging a great big bag stuffed with clubs over one shoulder, then walking 18-holes with this dead weight, can in fact be brutal. If you don’t invest in a good quality electric golf trolley or push trolley, carrying your golf bag can cause terrible back pain and strain, which will affect the technique of your swing and could leave you vulnerable to injury. The most common injury in the male professional golfer is in the back, and four out of five golfers, at whatever level, will suffer low-back pain at some point in their lives.

Electric and push trolleys, save your back

All golfers are aware of the problems of back pain and how it can affect their game. Carrying your own bag instead of utilizing a specifically designed golf trolley can lead to unnecessary strain on your back. Employing an electric or push trolley could in fact improve your game – carrying your bag not only affects your back but can be exhausting. Using a golf trolley  means you can save all your physical energy for your golf swing.

A pull trolley can cause you to twist your back without realising it, even causing long term problems . Whereas a push trolley means you can maintain good posture. The addition of a front wheel to most makes, means they are much easier to use. Some roll so freely they have to have a brake fitted !!

Get fit

Improved athleticism will help protect you from damaging your back while strengthening your muscles for the game. Although you might think carrying a golf bag will make you fitter than wheeling one on a golf trolley , you’d be mistaken – the best place to get fit is in the gym using correct equipment under expert supervision. Slinging a bag over your shoulder and suffering around the course will only cause injury and take away the pleasure of the game.
Strength, flexibility and endurance all play a part with effective warm-ups, stretching and core-strengthening work essential.

Avoid back problems

How can the recreational golfer take the first step in the prevention of back injury?

• Invest in an electric golf trolley or a push model from Protrolley – this will save strain on your back
• Get fit – stronger and flexible muscles will improve and protect your golf swing
• Get professional lessons – the correct technique with your golf swing will save you from injury

The most common of these injuries is the lower-back or spinal injury, closely followed by the left wrist and shoulder. At least three out of every five golfers experience back injuries at some point of time or another. The primary causes of such injuries are due to poor swing mechanics, poor physical fitness and sporadic play.

However, Golf accessories also play an intrinsic role in the most common injuries. A fully loaded Golf bag can weigh up to nearly 20 Kilograms, thus putting a massive strain on the back, neck, shoulder and arms of a player. Even for a pull trolley, commonly used for carrying the clubs, it is necessary to walk around in a bent forward and twisted position, thus causing a potential risk of back and shoulder pain.

The injuries caused by poor physical fitness and sporadic play could be prevented by strengthening and flexing the Golf muscles through regular exercise. But what could possibly replace a Golf bag or a pull trolley and has been around for some time? Of course, I am talking about the electric Golf trolley… What are these accessories all about? Do they actually reduce the risk of back injury or are they simply a fashion accessory used by the upper classes purely for added comfort?

An electric Golf trolley, as the name suggests, is a battery operated automatic Golf trolley that could be either manual or remote control. It provides easy transportation of clubs from tee to green and allows a normal upright posture while walking. This reduces the risk of strains and injuries. This also provides added comfort and helps the golfer to concentrate on his swing.

Golf is a game of relaxation. Hence a high comfort level should always be maintained to enjoy it to the fullest. Comfort being an important factor should never be overlooked. On the other hand, the strain and pain being an inherent characteristic of the game, also makes it extremely necessary to adopt every bit of prevention and exercise to reduce the risk of injuries. Electric Golf trolleys, with all its advantages, provide both, thus making it an essential accessory for a relaxing game.
