I just started using my Q-Follow and have to say it’s been spot on perfect right out of the box. No component issues, battery power excellent, follow mode perfect less one time out outpaced the but signal. Did I just get lucky and get a good one? I really have no complaints. Considered the new Axglo I will admit but couldn’t find enough info on it to feel great about it. Been looking at Stewart for over 3 yrs and decided to pull the trigger - no regrets.
@@MarkCrossfieldGreat, points I'd like to check: are gestures really convenient? Camera tracking robustness to sun and more. I will test it realy August, but it would be great to have your take on that one 👍 Thank you Mark
My Q Follow has fallen apart after 3 years of use. I have already had the handle replaced under warranty, which I have heard is a common problem. They are great bit of of kit but they have serious durability issues.
You should review the Law Kie 2000 for carrying your clubs. It's lightweight, made in England, quiet, and oh it's actually just Coach Lockey. #CheersBruh
I think there are definite pros and cons, I had the Previous follow model and it is a fantastic concept and was an amazing bit of kit that did make golf easier and more fun however I ended up sending mine back as the build quality was awful.. anything slightly rough in terrain and the slight jolting ended up with the trolley either stopping, or getting a kind of it’s own and you turn around and it’s going in total opposite direction.. had it sent back a couple of times, but problems were always there.. to be fair Stewart gave full refund with no arguments.. only thing they didn’t refund was the extra remote and accessories I had bought to go with the trolley.. saying all this if money was no object I would probably still consider one again..
I have the Q follow (not carbon). For the price the quality is ridiculous unfortunately. The cart is really heavy but most of the construction is plastic and it can't really handle the weight. After less than a year the handle was completely broken. Got a new one but now after a bit more than two years the wheels are starting to tilt out and the plastic body has cracks that are growing larger as the wheel tilts more. Also, the steering is very basic. It essentially steers by breaking a wheel which makes the steering very choppy (I know I can put it in a mode where it is less like that but it is more work to do it and while in that mode the steering is veeeery slow) I would expect so much more from a trolley costing that much :( Really fun to drive around though and it is soo much more convenient than having a push trolley! Looks like they have improved the band that goes around the bag on the top side which is good because in my version of it it feels fairly flimsy
The price and expected lifetime of the cart are the potential issues, I would love to have one. For me, where I play most people play with caddies as there are no carts, caddies are relatively cheap spending about $120/month so in 2.5 years the cart would be paid off. The question remains what is the lifespan of the battery and the cart?
Our carts are built to last, and we often see some of our original carts (15+ years old!) coming back into our HQ for their regular servicing. Like most things, if you continue to look after it, it'll serve you well. All new carts also include a two year warranty as standard, plus an additional third year as an optional extra.
I got my Q follow (not the carbon one which is IMHO overpriced) about a month ago and I am loving it. However mine is sometimes (about 4 times in a round) just stopping in follow mode on a flat fairway without me walking too fast. Anyone else seeing this?
Always enjoy your videos Mark....buyer beware with the Stewart trolley....OVERPRICED and serious reliability issues....numerous golfers I play with got lured in by the sleek look and follow features...every single of one of them have dealt with battery/component issues...if you're a regular golfer - 3x a week - the remote lasts 8-10 months before it fails....customer service is terrible as is warranty for a trolley of this price...there's cheaper and better options out there.
I’ve had mine for over a year now and like it but had a problem with the handset it was repaired under warranty the guy told me the problem was caused by using a rapid wall charger it should only be plugged in to a 1amp charger nowhere does it state this in the manual. Also the battery connection failed I was told it was because the battery had been dropped into the slot to which I refuted this was also repaired under warranty. No further issues as yet. Very overpriced but I just love gadgets
I owned a Q follow for about 2 years and have had numberoud problems. Initially it has been the part problems: plastic parts broke multiple times , wheel broke, etc that required repair and replacement multiple times. After a year that remote control failed to connect with the cart. I sent it back to the repair center in Texas just to know that they have suddenly moved the office without prior notice. I wasted almost a month waiting for the shipment to reach the reissue facility. There’s no customer service phone, as I can only wait for them to reply email as they wish. I have told my golfer friends these are not worth 3000$.
This is so overpriced for what it is. No screen, so if you forget your remote you have to use your phone, the remote only lasts a couple of rounds at best and if you lose it expect to pay circa £125 to replace it. Also a couple of friends have bought these and could not get winter wheels for it as they were out of stock at Stewart - very poor for what is marketed as the best electric trolley on the market. Would you love to see you test it against the Motocaddy M7 remote or M7 GPS remote, still very expensive but way better than the Stewart in my opinion.
I just don’t get these trolleys. Maybe one day when I’m so weak and feeble that it’s one of these or give the game up. But for anyone physically fit and able, this is just a bit pathetic and sad. If we can’t be bothered to carry our clubs, why not get an electric wheelchair and wheel yourself from shot to shot….oh yeah, golf carts …
The Q follow doesn’t have downhill breaking like the VERTEX one (which doesn’t have the follow mode). So downhill you have to hold on to it otherwise it will race down
I just bought a follow (I play a hilly course) and I assumed it had all the vertex features plus follow. I happened to play with someone with a vertex on a round and whilst I had to hold mine manually downhill (destroys the hands free benefits), the vertex player didn’t need to. After a few rounds I have used the 90 day return (fantastic customer service) to replaced with the vertex for the terrain control
@@_Blunt I am still in my 90 day period but the follow is the main selling feature for me. I play a hilly course as well but we only have two holes with a sever downslope (two downhill par 3) so I think I will stick with the Q follow. But yes I was very annoyed as well that the Q didn’t have the vertex features but I knew that before I ordered (I had hoped that the ‘big’ announcement about a month ago was to introduce the VERTEX follow instead they just added an overpriced carbon option. Who pays £500 more just to have it in blue or red?

Great design and features! Can’t wait till these kinds of things get way cheaper though…
Great review Mark!
I've got the Alphard V2, a well priced, excellent piece of kit.
Would be great to see a comparison with the Axglo E5. Same features, better remote at 1/2 or 2/3 the price.
Hope you can test the Caddytrek R3X that has all of that plus it can stay in front of you thanks to its camera.
I want to test that one
@@MarkCrossfieldGreat, points I'd like to check: are gestures really convenient? Camera tracking robustness to sun and more. I will test it realy August, but it would be great to have your take on that one 👍 Thank you Mark
no beverage holder, umbrella holder or a bid to put stuff on?
They sell them separately. Beverage, umbrella, phone and ball holders. Even a cooler and divot repair sand bottle
It's a lovely looking trolley, especially the black carbon 😍.. but any discount codes on those Srixon performance bags Mark?
Have you used the Axglo e5?

I have the Motocaddy M7 Remote with GPS, cheaper than the Stewart, yes it doesnt have follow me but quite like driving it around with the remote.

mgi is the king of electric trollys
Great trolley BUT!!! Leave your control at home or it breaks your left with a very expensive paper weight 😮
JUST put a button on it Stewart

That would be a good compare.

Big disclaimer: use this trolley only in a flat course. Trust me.

People who can afford this already use human caddies at their clubs
Haha
Lost control of the Trolley!
Ridiculously expensive, and follow mode is daft, need it in front of you so you can see where exactly it is going.
