Hello everyone. Another week, another 6,000 miles added to the mileage of my car as Andy and I trek up and down the country to visit manufacturers – why are they all based down south? – to talk through plans for 2020. We also completed our final custom fitting at Ping ahead of rounding out our best drivers of the year test. That one’s coming soon!
We also went to meet the folks at Powakaddy, who have some very exciting news…
PowaKaddy’s most technologically advanced family to date
PowaKaddy have revealed the 10th reimagining of their Freeway range – the FX Collection – and it’s not often I get excited about an electric trolley.
Headlined by the new FX7 GPS, the world’s first GPS electric trolley to feature touchscreen technology, you control everything from a 3.5-inch, full colour LCD screen that offers distances to the front, middle, and back of each green – as well as those pesky hazards – for more than 40,000 courses across the world. You can also use it as a scorecard, which is handy for those of us that always lose pencils.
There is also the FX7 model, with Powakaddy’s re-engineered chassis, as well as nice touches like the distance measurement function and calorie counter on a 3.5″ colour display.
The new FX5, meanwhile, is perfect if you’re looking for something in the mid-price point range. It features the distance function on a 2.8″ colour display as well as PowaKaddy’s all-new stealth wheels.
And finally in this collection is the FX3. The perfect entry-level electric trolley features a 2.3″ full colour display, height adjustability, and soft-touch handles.
The whole FX collection features the new PowaKaddy Lithium 30v Max battery that they’re calling the “Plug’n’Play”. They say it’s the thinnest, lightest and most powerful golf trolley battery on the market, and – here’s the best bit – you don’t even have to take it off to fold the trolley.

This range has been two years in the making and I think we can all agree it was worth the wait.
Thinking of picking one up? Here is how much each will set you back…
