Remote Controlled Golf Trolleys – Next Generation of Golf Equipment

Golf is no longer a game of just hitting the ball. The game of golf has evolved into a more serious and competitive game in present times. With the increase in competitiveness, technologies have been introduced to help a golfer understand and analyse several aspects of the game like wind strength to make accurate judgments of distance. Several products and equipments have also been introduced lately to help a golfer overcome the stress and fatigues and focus more on the game than on the injuries. In fact, golf is a game of techniques. Mastering the proper techniques, from body postures to crucial judgments to reduction of tiredness will lead a golfer to perform better. And the high-tech equipment introduced to help a golfer achieve his best have actually taken the game of golf to the next level.

The most notable of all these pieces of equipment in recent times is probably remote controlled golf trolleys. These items help a golfer reduce his stress and concentrate on the game. One of the intrinsic parts of the game of golf is carrying around the golf bag with all the necessary clubs and other accessories. After every swing, which itself causes a lot of strain specially on the lower back, shoulder, neck and arms, a golfer needs to carry the golf bag which often weighs about thirty to forty pounds across the course to the next point. A long walk of four to five hours, along with the weight of the bag takes a massive toll on the golfer’s body. It causes problems on the stress prone areas and results in fatigue long before the game is over. As a result, their performance is often hindered.

To remove this unnecessary fatigue, the push pull cart was introduced. This was a plain manually driven wheeled cart to carry the heavy bag across a golf course. However, though it did minimise fatigue to a certain extent, it didn’t prove to be very effective as it still needed the golfer to bend down a bit and push or pull the heavy cart around. It still affected the lower back and shoulders. Later on, it was modified into an electric trolley that would run on battery. This improved the conditions but required quite a bit of manual intervention.

Keeping all this in mind, remote controlled golf trolleys were introduced. Now this proved to be the real next generation golf equipment. These remote controlled golf trolleys, as the name suggests, are further improvisation of the electric trolleys as they can be operated buy using a remote control only with a push of a button. These items are lightweight, foldable, easy to use and if maintained properly, are long lasting. It doesn’t require much manual intervention. As a result the stress and strains on the lower back and shoulders due to carrying of the heavy bag is completely negated. It has a very powerful engine that carries the remote controlled golf trolley well through the 18 holes of a game. Most importantly it takes care of the golfer’s worries of fatigued muscles and injuries leaving him free to focus on the game and master the perfect swing. With all these benefits, remote controlled golf trolleys have definitely taken the game of golf to the next generation, making it better than ever.

Getting an electric trolley is of great benefit to your game , simple as that.

Why ?  Well everybody in sport knows that fitness is important , and just because golf is considered a sedentary game , it does not mean that fitness does not count. The fresher you are at the end of the round , the more likely you are to finish off that good round with a strong finish  rather than wondering why it was another one that “got away”.

Fully laden a carry bag can weigh-in anywhere between 20-30lbs; an enormous contributor to the build up of fatigue. Think of carrying this weight over 4 hours and 5 miles and you can begin to appreciate the exceptional stamina and concentration levels required if you’re to give your best performance from the first tee through to the 18^th green.

Many golfers fail to appreciate just how much time their golf clubs spend , NOT in their hands, but in their golf bag, slung across the shoulders, while they are walking between shots , and therefore sapping their strength. With a Protrolley electric trolley you can just walk along , saving that energy , just as the pro’s do with their caddies.

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.

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 !!
