^{I bought my first push cart last year and use it about half the time I play (other half is in riding cart).  I spent a lot of time looking at the options and selected the BB Quad over the clicgear and sun mtn.  I don't think you can go wrong with any of them.  I like the BB Quad better because of ease of folding up, and slightly different profile (a bit more upright than the clicgear).  The sun mtn model I looked at had slightly smaller wheels, which concerned me.}

I have a ClicGear 3.0, and have about a year and a half on it.  It's a great cart, very durable and well built.  It also folds up smaller than most others as well.  Can't go wrong with the ClicGear.

Curious, guys.  I've seen (online) a cart called a RASR.  This cart holds the bag in an upright position so it is easier to grab a club.  I never heard of the cart until a couple of days ago, but have since seen it offered through multiple online stores.  There's also a youtube video.

Has anyone here bought one of these?  And are you happy with it?

Do you guys have Stewart carts available in USA?

I see very few mentions of Stewart gear here and as they are a UK company they might not be available in the USA, a real shame if its not.

Still have and use my SM SC V1 on specific occations. Bought a Z3 last year b/c of the no-wheel maintenance and fold down/size/weight (if that justifies $250).

Here's my biggest peeve: It doesn't have an umbrella carrier and, the holder on the handle is cheap and fragile (it has broken off on my two buddies' Z3. They had to replace it with a universal aftermarket holder) ! If the weather channel predicts a greater than 70% chance of rain, the SunMountain comes out! For THAT reason, not worth the expense IMO. If and when, the next one will be an ULTIMAXX U4-GT from www.oneworldgolf.com (10 year warranty) or a CG unless SM comes out with something worth e-v-e-r-y single penny!


EDIT: It may be a UK company but, it's still made in CHINA! (Like all others, I believe.)

I wasn't aware it's so expensive compared the the clicgear, both the Z3 and the clicgear are the same price in UK, I can see why the clicgear is so popular now. It's interesting about the umbrella holder, mine seems pretty stable but its not that old so time will tell, I shall definitely keep an eye on it.
Stewart trolleys are made in England BTW, not china, not that it really matters.

Love my Stewart Z3. Can't beat the quality of it. I get the point about the brolly holder - mines not broken but it does look very fragile. I just wish they made more accessories like Clicgear.

Hello, my apologies then mine didn't say made in china and they have a factory in the Cotswolds in England so I presumed they were made there, it still doesn't really matter where they are made.

I think they are manufactured in China (isn't everything?) but assembled in Gloucestershire.

[Moor]

That explains the factory in England, thanks for clearing that up Herbert.

amateur pro, on 22 March 2012 - 11:30 PM, said:

I recently purchased the bb quad as well. Looked hard at SM and CG. Why I chose the BB:

Easiest by FAR to fold and unfold. It is literally 2 very simple steps and takes 5 seconds. Best design in that regard.
Folds smaller or as small as the CG. SM isn't even close (if space is an issue for you)
Sturdy construction, aluminum tubing is not as thick as CG, but still very high quality
No maintenance wheels like all other models you are thinking about
Cheaper by at least 35 - 40%

The only gripes I have is I wish the area on top (in front of the handle where the scorecard clips in) was a bit larger. There is a nice zip compartment under, which serves
to hold balls, tees, etc. And if it was about 3 inches or so wider. The front tires roll about 1" from the sides of my bag at the bottom. But this is minor as my normal cart bag is fairly large. The other improvement would be to the bag strap. While it is stable and again very simple (velcro and tighten) it gets in the way of my very top pocket on my cart bag. Again, minor since other carts do this as well.

Went throughout this same search at the end of last year.  I was a die hard for carrying and never wanted a push cart.   Hurt my back exercising and tried one to take some strain off of it.   I looked at all the carts and landed with the BB quad.   Wasn't even on the radar initially...had my mind set on Clic Gear.   The BB was way easier to fold/unfold plus the clubs sit just a little more upright.   Great purchase.   The SM Micro was ok but the Quad is way better with the larger wheels.

I bought a CG 2.0 a couple of years ago - it was very popular and very sturdy. Wife wanted a pushcart, we ended up with a BB (3-wheel) cart.  The BB is much simpler to open and stabilize, just about as sturdy -- and you can leave your clubs on the cart in storage if you want.  It is also a whole lot cheaper.  I never even tried out a Sun Mountain - I felt like the SM brand was costing a lot more money than necessary.

The only real advantage of the CG imho is the folded height - that is, you can toss it into a subcompact trunk easier than the Bagboy.  But I don't need to worry about that, so I like the BB better.

So I have both, but use the BB  way more often.

[Shiram]

If space is a premium - go with the ClicGear. It definitely folds up smaller but I find the Sun Mountain is easier to setup and push. I own both and use both fairly regularly. One for me and one for my wife.

Technically the ClicGear is easy to setup but I am always scrapping the neoprene covered bag rest on the ground when I set it up and put it away.

As far as pushing goes, the wheels on the Sun Mountain seem to push easier to me through grass. That said, the Sun Mountain takes up an enormous amount of trunk space.

Just my 2cents, your mileage may vary.

I did a lot of comparison shopping, and asking current pushcart users at my course for their opinions, and the Clicgear 3.0 was the hands down winner. I then searched around for the best deal, and ordered one Monday from Discount Dans, for $169.00, with no tax, and free shipping.

Nice !!

[theonlybfc]

Very nice grab on the $169! Trying to find one for around that price point.

[inpresX]

I'm using this one because it was $60 shipped.

http://www.rockbotto...-push-cart.html

I opened the box and quickly realized the bracket that keeps the bag bottom from touching the wheel was broken. It was made of plastic. I thought of returning it but didn't want to go through the hassle so I took 2 plastic zip ties and tied the broken bracket together. Been working great since. Tubing is tough and it rolls straight. My only other gripe is that the ball holders keep hitting my knuckles and its annoying. I may cut the ball holders off.

[chasemyaccord]

You can get a Clicgear 3.0 for $150 on SportsAuthority if you wait for a friends and family coupon, which comes out quite often. Or they'll have random sales such as the one they had right after the friends and family coupon expired. I got 30% off online and combined with my bank's 10% offer so I got the Clicgear 3.0 for $135 after tax and shipping. Definitely worth the money.

[ESONEULB]

I looked at the Clicgear 3.0 and the Stewart Golf Push trolleys and went for the Z3 as it was better made and easer to use.. I have had zero problems with any part of the trolley or the cart bag ... but only time will tell i guess..

I have converted some of the Clicgear 3.0 users to the Stewart Golf Z3 because of the above...

I have a drink holder, umbrella holder and a iPhone holder.. don't think i need anything else..

The only comment i have had is when I used the winter hedgehog wheels.. and that was just someone commenting on the fact it made them think of S&M... but each to there own i guess... lol

anyway this is what i have

Hmm...didnt' hear about this one. What are the dimensions when folded?  Is it smaller than the Clicgear?

[atlanta golfer]

Commenting again ... I think you can't go wrong with most of these choices ... but last Friday afternoon I was playing with a buddy ... he had the clicgear and I had the BB quad.  On the last 6 holes we ran into a light rain but decided to finish anyway.  We both put umbrellas up in the holders.  The clicgear is so horizontal that the umbrella doesn't cover the clubs and his grips got all wet which meant he had problems.  On the BB quad, since it is more vertical, everything stayed dry.  Not a reason by itself to choose one or the other, but just sharing what I saw.

Z-Series weights and measurements:

Folded (without wheels):  27cm x 27cm x 66.5cm (10.5" x 10.5" x 26.2").

Folded (with wheels): 40cm x 40.8cm x 73cm (15.7" x 16" x 28.7").

Weight: 6kg (13lbs) without wheels, 8kg (17lbs) with wheels attached.

[WhiZ]

So with wheels on, the Clicgear is a touch smaller... Interesting!

Anyway, a reminder to the OP (if he's still interested ) that the new Clicgear 3.5 is coming out soon. Might be able to get good pricing on the 3.0 soon!
