GoKart Electric trolley - Discuss

[Gogs Guy]

Ok, this post might be a wee bit redundant, considering TM are on the verge of releasing a new range of balls, but I got bought a dozen TP Blacks and TP Reds for Xmas, and I took the opportunity to try out the Reds today over 10 holes.

Not a big test for the balls, I'll give them another few tries on the next few weeks, but first impressions are very good, I really do like this ball.

I'd previously tried the TP Blacks, and found them the longest ball I'd ever hit. Well, these are a kick in the arse off them. Seem to hold their line really well in the wind, come off the driver like a rocket, and stop pretty quick in the greens. Our greens are fairly soft, but one of the holes is better than the rest, as its elevated and only used during the winter, so its harder than the others. The Red really sat down pretty good on this green, and on short chips seemed to check up pretty good. Felt nice off the putter as well.

These balls get a definite from me, and at £23 a dozen in our pro shop, I'll be buying more before he sells out. Will be interesting to try the new balls when they come out. A definite 10/10 from me, especially at that price.

I agree with Georgiemac, I've had mine since the beginning of December 2007 and its been great. The noise issue is a slight problem especially when going up a steep slope but it wouldn't stop me buying one again if I had the choice. The only other negative issue is that the bar above the front wheel is very close to the wheel and on a muddy day can get clogged resulting in the wheel not going round very well.

I played at the South Essex on sunday and had a problem with the front wheel before I set off. I removed as much as I could with a pitch mark repairer but it was still clogged. The wheel was fine all way round the course but the battery was flat as I walked off the eighteenth which it has never done before. Funnily enough about the 14th I was walking with Stu when the noise from the motor increased so much Stu pointed it out so I'm wondering if that coincided with the wheel getting completely logged?

When I got it home I realised I could remove the front wheell, the whole of the mud guard was clogged with compressed mud no wonder it was having problems going round.

I have had mine for over 6 months and have recommended it to anyone who asks.  It has been very wet at The Shire recently, and the trolley is very muddy, but I've never cleaned it.  I haven't had any problems yet, but will take note of your problems and give it a good clean before I go out again!

The main problem with the trolley is the Lime Green trim    Hideous.  What's wrong with baby pink?

The compacted mud could have been acting as a brake & draining the battery by having to run the motor faster

My thought too!
