    I hear you, but I bought this one: CaddyTrek- R2 Robotic Golf Caddy. I bought it specifically because it follows me. I have a remote I can move it around, but the cool thing is, mine follows me around the course.

  • @Caddiesense

    Three things: 1) The Zip Navigator AT (All Terrain) is the model you want. It was built with a wider front base than Zip, resulting in few tipping over accidents. 2) The tipover possibility can also be lowered by putting a 5 lb weight in the front bottom of your bag, which serves to balance the weight top to bottom much better. 3) Biggest key is to slow it down as you go up steep heels as long as you have the 5th wheel pulled out (a lot of people don't realize that's what it's for). This was the greatest purchase in my life. I was one of the "no way would I ever spend that much money!" But, with a bad back, I bit the bullet and bought one. Now, my rounds feel like a casual stroll through the course with a personal caddy.

      I have the Zip Navigator. I kind of wish the battery was forward of the wheelbase, not behind. Definitely a learning curve but I do enjoy it.
      Biggest advice I'd have is to get in the habit of always hitting the "lock" button on the remote when you stop. After a runaway or two you learn to do that.

    • @wayneadie
      @wayneadie 3 года назад +4

      It's the best !! Love the AT version, I'm thinking people also don't know that the 5th wheel can be extended out further and locked in via the release pin setting into another hole position. It allows for more stability support going up inclines.

    • @gadgetguy9984
      @gadgetguy9984 3 года назад +2

    I have used my Zip Navigator now for just over 2.5 Years (May 2019), 200+ rounds and 2100+ km. So I have got to know it pretty well. I initially bought it because I was playing multiple courses and end of round fatigue was becoming an issue on some of the tougher walking courses. And the Navigator does help with reducing this fatigue. But I am using it less now because it also has some annoying traits/faults that diminish the experience.
    Firstly, its good points;
    - The battery is very good, it charges quickly and would probably last 3 rounds easily. Though I recharge after each round, as recommended by MGI. The Remote Battery also charges quickly.
    - It is relatively compact, though I still need to take a wheel off to fit it in my boot with my Clubs.
    - It has been reliable.
    - It definitely helps to reduce Fatigue, especially towards the end of a round. Stress, often not so much!
    Now my issues;
    - It tips itself over way too easily and too often. IMO the Wheel Base and the Track are too short, and the front wheels are too small and close together to give proper stability. Add to that motors that are too powerful at times and wheels that lose traction too easily and it will kick itself over when it gets off balance. The AT has a better front wheel set up, but those wheels should also be on the Navigator (as they were on the prior Quad model).
    - The Wheels don’t have good traction. Any moisture and they will spin on the slightest inclines, even greened up grass will defeat them at times. When this happens, the brake steering goes awry and the buggy will bog and often turn in the opposite direction to the input. This does not help at all for the above-mentioned stability problem, because wheel spin is quite often the start of instability and a tip over. In addition the Wheels Squeak and Squawk whenever they get wet.
    - The Buggy wheel stands on just about any upslope. It takes only a small change in gradient for the wheel standing to start, which then causes instability (with the front wheels off the ground). The dolly wheel helps, but it is too short and by the time it catches the flip back it can be too late.
    - I find I cannot trust the Remote. The buggy has taken off so many times without any input after I thought it had been parked and locked. I have had to pull it out of bunkers too many times. Thankfully, not out of the water so far, touch wood! (I know others that have!). I now leave the remote in the cradle after I lock it, as it cannot be trusted on the belt clip, or in a pocket.
    - The Remote Belt Clip has broken 3 times. It happened about every 6 months. The design has an obvious weak point. It hasn’t broken since I stopped using the belt clip, but then what is its purpose if you can’t trust/use it?
    - The Remote Buttons wear out, which is understandable I guess, but after spending $200 on a new remote, I discovered you could just replace the skin for $15. The skin is now listed on the website but wasn’t when I needed it.
    - It went through a long period where the buggy would just stop without input. Often just in front of me as I walked behind. It may have been related to the old (original) Remote as it has not done so since I got the new Remote.
    - Despite the Gyro system I find I have to continually correct the direction. It wants to go right all the time. I reset the Gyro system regularly, but that only offers a temporary fix. The Remote left button is the first to wear out for this reason. My new one is already well worn after only a couple of months.
    - The buggy has no suspension and it shakes the bag and clubs quite violently at times. Clubs need to have Headcovers to prevent damage. It has even thrown off Headcover at times, such is the violence of the shaking. The buggy bounces about on anything less than perfectly smooth terrain and it will bounce itself off the balance if it hits a small hole, tree root, rock etc.
    - The Scorecard Holder constantly rattles, even when it is empty.
    - The option Seat is another rattler. And balls in the seat pocket end up covered in felt dust, such as the amount of shaking they endure.
    - When I first got the Navigator the battery was a loose fit and it started to wear against the plate it fits to. I ended up packing the wear area with some cloth tape and this has fixed the problem. I gather from other owners this is a common fit problem.
    Note: I have posted this review to the MGI website Product Reviews section 3 times over 3 months, and it is still to be published by them. Nor have I had any contact from them. Which explains why there are no reviews rated less than 4 out of 5 on there!

    • @billjordan1173
      @billjordan1173 2 года назад

      I reviewed an inflatable raft once with some criticisms, and the manufacturer edited the review to take the criticisms out, so I then posted the review elsewhere. I guess it's at least good that MGI didn't do that. Anyway, some of your issues might be solved by having a non-remote cart that you have to maintain a little more control over (but still makes the walk much easier). My buddy's navigator started to head off in a different direction toward the woods in our last round. Fortunately he was able to get it stopped quickly.

    I got one of these about 3 months ago and have around 50 rounds on it so far and it's awesome. It tops out at around 6-7 MPH and will conquer even the most hilly and long course you could ever play. I'm amazed at the range of the remote which is at least 200 yards. My only advice I would give someone buying one is to watch the pocket dial. When you park it and put the remote in your pocket you can hit the forward button on accident sending it taking off. Hit the lock button!

  • @joewest826
    @joewest826 3 года назад +6

    I'm not sure why it tipped over going downhill unless the speed was set too high. It's suppose to have downhill speed control to prevent that very thing from happening. I couldn't tell in the video but the rear tip over wheel extends out after you unfold it. Also the reason it acts weird when you grab the handle while you're using it in remote mode is because it has a built in patented gyroscope that keeps it going in a straight line. When you grab the handle with your hand it doesn't know and it's trying to make adjustments automatically to keep it going in a straight line. So basically when you grab the handle while using the remote you're fighting the gyro. One more thing...the second notch in the axle for free wheeling is not meant to be used to push the cart through a round of golf. It's meant to be used if your battery were to die or in close quarters like the parking lot or your garage. The wheels can be turned around or inverted then put back on and this is what reduces the width of the unit for transport. I think it's a wonderful machine that's definitely worth the money if you like to walk and don't want to constantly have your hand on the machine like the non remote electric carts. To play a round without having to push a cart or hang on to one is freedom to enjoy the walk. For those who complain about the price just put it in perspective. Between my driver, my clubs, my wedges, my putter and my bag, not to mention shoes, gloves and balls, I've got way more money tied up then what this cart costs. I hope this little bit of insight will help add some clarity to the review. Thanks for doing this review.

    I bought one of these a month ago and I'm pretty happy with it. I've walked about 10 rounds with the navigator so far. I've walked multiple rounds the same day and the batteries held up with no problem. I haven't tipped mine since the second round played. Mostly just seeing how big a slope it would traverse without a hand on it.

    I’ve got the identical cart. Actually got it for my wife because her ladies group always walks and the course is hilly. Bought this model for the built in gyro, lithium battery and the compact size. The built in gyro forces it to roll straight which cheaper carts don’t have. Without this, you’ll constantly be correcting the direction. As long as you go directly up the slope, you’ll be fine. Not saying it won’t tip over but you learn what it can and can’t do. We love it!

    Would you ever consider doing a review of the Alphard Club Booster V2 and associated accessories? It's a different concept to electric motorized pushcarts. It looks like a hoverboard and your push cart can be modified to attach to it. I know you would show fairly what potential customers of that product should know, as I did not, before buying. Their website is somewhat disingenuous in that they have over 50+ reviews and almost all of them are are 5-star and a few 4-stars, nothing else. The product for the most part is a good one but someone needs to provide an honest review of it. I think you're just the right man for the job.

    Thank you. Good timing. I just ordered one from Costco but it has 4 wheels. I now have a Novacaddy X9. If I try to turn it while on a hill or something, it will tip over. Does that back wheel extend more. I think it should. My bag tends to twist and lean to one side which cause issues. I have a cart bag instead of my stand bag that I may try. Mine will be here in two days. I'll try to update you with the 4 wheel stability.

    I own this cart and over the year have played over a hundred rounds with it. It's really a great cart and does not tip over very easily. The only time I've tipped it is when I wasn't looking very carefully where I was steering it. Very sturdy! One warning though is if you put the remote in your back pocket while putting, make sure you lock the remote! I nearly had a disaster a couple of times. I was bending down to read my putt and the start button got inadvertently pushed. The cart started to drive into the road without me knowing because I was looking the opposite way at the time. Fortunately the cart hit a telephone pole which prevented it from going into traffic. Once you get used to locking the remote when putting, it's not big deal. Great cart!

For the extra $400 for the remote has made walking a golf course much more enjoyable. I did have a L Plates on for a few months getting used to it and has preformed excellent

    I always wonder why the brands "Jucad" or "TiCad" from Germany are not bigger in the states. They make the best golf carts totally made out of titanium and carbon on the market!! Also got models with remote controls - ridiculous expensive though :-) but sexy as hell!! you might wanna check these brands out mate...

    I have seen someone use an aletrante remote to control another persons buggy. They drove it into the car park and took off with the clubs. If you buy one you need to ensure that the user code uses anti virus software to block people using magnetic field tracers to take over the remote control. Otherwise it is a great unit

    We’ve had these kind of remote control trollies in Europe for quite a few years, I’ve had a few of them they are all very similar. They do take practice. Before spending 1500 dollars bear in mind they do not tend to last long, there’s no suspension so they all crash and bang, and the tyres will wear out in no time on cart paths.

    This is a good Golf buggy and performs as the video suggests. However, one piece of advice this clip doesn’t give you and this is to avoid getting it ‘WET’.
    This is not B.S…. My new MGI Navigator Zip A.T. buggy rec’d water damage after running into a drainage ditch. MGI warranty does not cover this. My repair bill was in excess of 50% of the original purchase price! Additional insurance may help you? But be sure to read the fine print.

    • @Nick-kq2sw
      @Nick-kq2sw 3 года назад +2

      Understandable, although for me, I justified the expense because last year I didn't spend a dime renting a golf cart and used this instead. So, in a sense, it paid for itself after about 80-90 rounds. At least that's what I tell my wife.

    My buddy bought this cart at the same time I went for the basic non-remote X1. Obviously there is a learning curve with the remote, but my initial thoughts are that the X1 offers the same assistance with far less to think about (and less chance of dumping it). I've used it for three rounds on courses of varying terrain, and most of the time, I can simply walk behind or beside the cart as it motors on on its own. When I do need to guide it, some light pressure with one hand is all that's needed. And on sunny days when I'm using an umbrella for shade, I want my cart with me anyway, unless I want to be bothered carrying an umbrella around. Is it worth another $900-$1000 dollars so you can send your clubs up ahead of you as opposed to walking beside them? Not to me. My guess is that anyone who enjoys walking will find the X1 works perfectly to make the walk more enjoyable, and a remote trolly won't add any significant value over it.

    • @WilliamHemmingsen
      @WilliamHemmingsen 2 года назад +1

      Agreed, I also went the X1 route. It does the job I need it to.

    • @pam4280
      @pam4280 9 месяцев назад +1

      I also have the Zip X1 and purchased it for exactly the same reasons you outline here. Best golf purchase I have made in a while. Whisper quiet and does everything I want it to. Unlike Mr Short Game’s comment about the slight delay prior to moving after pressing the go button, I actually like that feature of the buggy……you know it’s not going to take off in a hurry. Totally agree that there should be an incremental speed such as a 4 1/2 . I find that 4 is a bit slow and 5 a touch fast. Greetings from Down Under.

    • @billjordan1173
      @billjordan1173 9 месяцев назад

      ​@@pam4280greetings. A year later, still no regrets, though I've gone with a minimalist set-up (8 clubs) and find that I use my pull cart as much or more than the zip simply because of the convenience of tossing it in the car. But on hilly courses, the x1 is fantastic.

There are some you can actually sit on for under 1,000 pounds.There is a space age one with hidden batterys called JuCad Titan 2.0 that costs just under 4,000 pounds !!!

    I bought this MGI Zip Navigator from American Golf. However when I took it on the course it fell over 14 times after only 4 holes where I called it a day. It appears to be top heavy Unfortunately for me American Golf refused to refund as I had used the Trolley even though I only played 4 holes. Unless Your golf course Is like a carpet I would strongly recommend you look elsewhere.

    I just got the quad navigator we play on a very hilly course and it works great. Is there an easy way when I leave the cart at the club and take the battery or do you always have to make the wheel adjustment . I love all of your videas, short game tips and this one as well

  • @ginge5168
    @ginge5168 3 года назад +1

    I thought you Americans all had buggies so why would you need a trolly ? Personally I like to carry my bag, fun vid the electric ones in Uk have a small 3rd wheel in the middle in the back to stop it tipping, they look more hassle than anything else

    • @richarddeutschman169
      @richarddeutschman169 3 года назад

      I have had 5 different models,the zip is good ,how ever it is very easy to turn over, the single wheel would be better, with the 2 front wheels they tend bounce back and force which causes it to tip over.

    It was hard to turn when you grabbed it because it has a gyroscope to keep it on track going forward when it hits dips and what not. This keeps you from having to constantly fiddle with the steering.
