Stewart Golf X9 Follow
Here are ten of our favourite electric golf trolleys on the market this season...
Stewart Golf X9 Follow
The brand new X9 Follow electric trolley from Stewart Golf features an an all-new Bluetooth powered electronics system that allows the machine to follow the golfer at just the touch of a button.
Review: Stewart Golf X9 Follow
To use the ‘follow’ feature, all the golfer needs to do is press a single button on the new rechargeable remote control handset.
Once the golfer starts to walk, the X9 Follow will stay a few paces behind them and match their walking pace exactly. It even holds its position going down hills, with the patented electronics system automatically varying and braking the twin motors to alter both speed and direction.
The user friendly design means that between the golfer stopping at their ball to walking away again, no button presses are required. The X9 Follow retains the slick look that consumers will be familiar with.
Stewart Golf’s engineers have been able to integrate two additional antennas under the distinctive X Series bodywork, so the only outward indication of change is a new badge and a blue LED that replaces the aerial.
As well as its “follow” mode, the X9 Follow also comes with full remote control functionality that existing customers will be familiar with. Golfers will now have the option of keeping the handset on the handle for manual control, using the remote control or activating the follow function.
Mark Stewart added: “Using the follow feature is undoubtedly the most relaxing way to play, but if you’re around the green or in deep rough then using the remote control to send your trolley to where you want it to be can be the most convenient option.”
As with all Stewart Golf powered products, every X9 Follow will be hand-made to order in the company’s Gloucestershire workshop, be powered by a high-quality lithium battery, and come with a full two-year warranty covering both the trolley and the battery.
X9 Follow will retail for £1,499 in the UK and is available in four colours of Pearlescent White, Metallic Black, Metallic Silver & British Racing Green. X9 Follow will be sold alongside the existing X7 Lithium, which retails for £999.
