I have a new golf push cart (excuse me… “trolley” for our friends in the UK) in play, from the Canadian golf company Axglo. The Axglo V3 cart is their V3 “Smooth Handling Model.” I’ll vouch for that. I’ll comment on all the major features and how they’ve worked out for me in the last few weeks.
Smooth Handling
The 3-wheel base is large. The larger/wider the base, the more smooth the ride and more stable the cart is.
Above: the front wheel can rotate 360 degrees, or it can be locked in place.
This solid base also means the cart is much less likely to fall over. When push carts fall over, things fall out. Keys, balls, gear. Perhaps worst of all, drinks get spilled. Can’t have wasted frosty beverages! Check.
The large wheels and base along with excellent balance also make the cart easy to navigate over varying types of terrain, hills, bumps, and so forth. Despite the size of the cart it feels light on it’s feet, er..a.. wheels.
Storage O’ Plenty
The Axglo V3 trolley (“push cart” for our friends in the USA) features a huge storage space in the handle area. The storage space has two separate doors and spaces for all the extra stuff you need on the course, from sunscreen to extra tees to GPS units to a few extra frosty beverages.
Below is the first compartment in the storage area. In there I have snacks, cigar accessories, Altoids (in case Paige Spirinac shows up at the course)… You can never be too… “prepared.”
In the larger compartment (below) I can easily fit lots of stuff like sunglasses, golf balls, car keys, hats, tees, cigars, snacks, tools.
Underneath the storage area are a couple of slots for thin items (photo below). Great use of space.
Make it Rain
Below is the umbrella holder attached to the handle. I live in a desert so I don’t often golf in the rain. It feels very solid but I haven’t tested it in a real-deal situation yet.
Folding and Storage Bag
Below you can see the storage bag in the back of my car. I swear the cart is in there! The cart does fold up but if you’re looking for the absolute smallest folded cart, this isn’t your solution. While the cart folds and fits in this bag, it is not super small folded. I have several carts that fold into smaller footprints. That said, those other carts don’t have the size and base of the Axglo V3 and are definitely not as sturdy and stable. You can’t change the laws of physics!
Final Thoughts
I’m thoroughly digging the Axgo V3. It’s super solid, dependable, holds a ton of gear, and drives like a luxury car. Accessing all my clubs and putting them back is easy.
I don’t see myself going to any of my smaller carts for the time being. I don’t think all my stuff would fit in it!
