Walking cart recommendations

I've got a Clicgear 4.0 that's been pretty good.. Has extra attachments like seat and a small cooler .. easy to fold up and rolls well

I think $150-$175 is about my max.

then check out the Caddytek.. that was the first one i bought and still have as a backup. Pretty sure I spend 149 on it..

And personally I prefer the 3 wheel one.. Not a fan of the 4wheel

I have an Amazon special and a Clicgear. Both roll your clubs down the course pretty similarly. Only thing the Clicgear has that I'm a huge fan of is a hand brake. The Amazon brake is down by the back wheel so it's mildly more annoying to operate than the hand brake.

And yes, 3 wheel is better than 4 wheel for turning purposes.

How important is hand brake vs. foot?

lol I haven't thought about it. The last one I had years ago was a walmart special. didn't have any bells or whistles, just two wheels and a frame with straps. lol.

I guess I'd prefer the hand break.

I'll chime in that after going with a cheap one when I first started walking, I realized 2 things.

1. Hand brake is such a big benefit
2. The drink holder needs to be accessible while you're walking. I didn't really think about this when purchasing my first one, but it really helps to stay hydrated when you can get to your water while walking

Another item that is not a necessity, but I think it's helpful is an attachment for holding sand. I bought an add on after the fact for this. I felt like I was doing the right thing by walking more, but I kept realizing I was leaving divots and had no way to fix them. So, I bought a bottle and clip so that I could fill it up with the course sand.

The man said he has a $175 budget and you’re recommending an upgrade of $900

Ive had a three wheel caddytek I got off Amazon for about $100 and it’s 4 years strong, if I had to guess close to 100 rounds. I broke the umbrella holder but another one that clamps on the handle.

I have a Caddytek, and it is nice overall and fits in your price range. My one caveat is that I have an Ask Echo bag which has quite a large base. The front wheel on the Caddytek ends up rubbing the base quite a bit and has even taken a small chunk out. I'm sure it's not an issue on most bags, but wanted to throw out to be aware of if you have an AE.

I end up sitting the base of the bags on top of the lower arm guards. It gets the job done, but is still a little frustrating considering the money I spent on both the cart and the bag itself....

Yes - wheel arm is fully outward/extended. If the arm was an inch or so longer, it wouldn't be an issue. As I said, likely not an issue with most bags. Just something to be aware of for Ask Echo users.

Look on eBay for a Clicgear. You can find a good one for $175. It does not have to be a 4.0, but you should get a used Clicgear with that budget range.
