Product Review: Clicgear Model 3.5 Plus Push Cart

How many times have you thought, “If I only knew then, what I know now”? As a kid, I used to think push carts were for old people. Now that I’m old(er), I wish I had been more openminded in my youth.

Consider the strain of lifting your bag after each shot. Or the wear and tear carrying a 25-30 lb. bag has on your core muscles, regardless of the tote system you implement. Pushing/pulling a cart is much easier on the body. Heck, some of the top NCAA golf teams have already started taking advantage of push carts in competition.

With that in mind, we looked into today’s push carts and came across one intriguing brand - Clicgear. More specifically, the Model 3.5 Plus caught our eye.

Let’s be clear ... This is not your father’s push cart! First, there’s a brake. An easy flip of the switch engages the brake and eliminates the worry of your clubs rolling away from you between shots.

Also featured is ample storage - both covered and uncovered. Inside the covered storage you’ll find a spot to secure three golf balls and other items - cell phone, rangefinder, money, etc. Depending on the weather, you can stick a score card inside or hold it with a bungee on the outside. For exposed storage, there’s a cargo net, which was increased by 80 percent over the previous model.

Securing your bag to the cart - once a tedious task or one that wasn’t even an option - is simple with the Clicgear Model 3.5 Plus, thanks to the Easy-Clip Bag Strap System. It could not be easier to adjust and fit your bag on the cart, no matter the size or type of bag.

Airless tires, and removable umbrella holder, lightweight can/bottle holder and clips to attach a towel, brush or other accessory are also standard.

Beyond that and available for all models are a mitt for cold-weather play, a GPS holder, an attachable shoe brush to keep your cleats clean, and much, much more.
