What you need to consider to choose the golf push cart.

Hey there in this article we will show you what you need to consider to choose the golf pushcart.

Once you have read it, you can see this article about top golf push carts reviews.

Consider the Weight:

It is important to also make sure the golf cart is not too heavy for you to pick up and place in your car or store on wall in your garage. Carts range in weight depending on the material and the accessories added to the frame.  I’ve include Weights (without Accessories) in the comparison table below.

Stability:

3 wheels a push cart are much less likely to tip over on uneven terrain, especially while the cart is in motion. With a 2 wheel pull cart, one slight move in either direction can send your cart, bag, and clubs crashing to the ground, sometimes causing damage to your equipment.  You’re looking for a low center of gravity.   All of the three wheel carts listed below have very good stability.

Golf Cart Accessories:

Accessories are much more prominent on 3 and 4 wheel push carts than 2 wheel pull carts.   Three and four wheel carts have plenty of storage space for wallet, keys, golf balls, tees, drink holder, umbrella, raincoats,  GPS holder, seats and much more.  2 wheel pull carts generally have limited space for most of these accessories.  Adding these accessories will make your golf game much more enjoyable, and reduces the chances of misplacing your essentials items, especially your car keys, while playing a round of golf.  The below comparison chart indicates the available accessories for each of these models.

Folding:

One of the most important features in a golf cart is how the cart folds up. There are numerous carts that fold to a very small compact. Keep in mind the space you have in your car when selecting a golf bag cart.

Tires:

Most carts used to be made out of air filled rubber tires with solid aluminum rims and spokes similar to a bike. The cost of the these tires are quite expensive to manufacture so most vendors quickly improved the quality and consistency of eva/polymer/foam wheels so that the performance is the same if not superior to air filled wheels without the maintenance issues.

Brackets:

You should also think about the brackets when buying golf push carts. These brackets are designed to secure your golf bag while using the cart. It is usually best to buy golf push carts that allow you to adjust them. You should easily be able to switch to different heights.

Braking System:

Brakes are designed in 2 manners: a foot brake or hand brake.  A brake is nice to have but it is not essential to use on flat golf courses.  However, Its very important to golfers on hilly courses, especially when going downhill to keep cart from pulling you.  I think hand brakes are better for hilly regions because foot brakes are more difficult to use when walking.  The table below compares the type of brake each model has.

Adjustable Handle:

Ability to adjust the angle of the cart handle so it can be positioned properly for tall or short golfers when pushing the cart. This is a nice feature if you are very short or very tall otherwise it should not be a critical factor in your purchase.

That’s pretty much everything you need to consider.
