Made of aircraft-grade aluminum tubing, which keeps its weight at an almost lighter-than-air 14.7 pounds, it can be easily lifted in and out of your trunk, and won’t strain your muscles to push around the course. The patented rear-wheel folding system, too, helps it fit easily into either your trunk or your garage closet, while the ball, tee- and drink-holders in the console — not to mention the magnetically-sealing cell-phone compartment and built-in umbrella holder — put everything you might need right at your fingertips, while keeping your actual fingertips free. Our favorite feature, however, isn’t any of the above — it’s the fact that the entire handle can be adjusted up or down to whatever height feels most comfortable. About the only place the Cadywell won’t help you is in the sand — but then, given the relieved stress on your back and arms, you won’t be hitting it in the sand anyway, right?]]> http://www.cascadegolfer.com/gear/cadywell-ciii/feed/ 0 http://www.cascadegolfer.com/gear/sun-mountain-micro-cart/ http://www.cascadegolfer.com/gear/sun-mountain-micro-cart/#comments Wed, 13 May 2009 19:43:53 +0000 Heather Flyte http://www.cascadegolfer.com/?p=807 Few companies do the golf bag better than Sun Mountain … whether the Four 5, the Swift X or the Superlight 3.5, the Missoula, Mont.-based manufacturer has taken over the golf bag market with its many ultra-light, versatile and eye-catching models. Of course, we know that despite our frequent praise, not all of you have been able to put one in your trunk — yet. For those of you still carting around heavier, traditional bags, or for Sun Mountain owners who simply want or need to give it a rest some days, the company has turned its trademark inventiveness to push carts. At January’s PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando (which we previewed in the December issue of CG), Sun Mountain rolled out its new Micro Cart, an update of its previous Speed Cart, which promises to be the lightest and most economical push cart on the market. Of course, at 13 pounds, you’d be hard-pressed to find one lighter — indeed, some of you using older bags, or giant PGA Tour-style cart bags, may already be hauling that much weight in and out of your trunk every time you hit the links. Just two latches need to be pushed to collapse the cart to a size that will easily fit to one side of your trunk, while the wheels are still large enough to navigate even the soggiest of springtime tracks without bogging down.]]> http://www.cascadegolfer.com/gear/sun-mountain-micro-cart/feed/ 0
