followup observation - one of the things i notice with having a remote control buggy is i spend a lot of time worrying where the thing is going and i don't take in where i am...this would fix that completely!
Yes I really liked the Zip navigator, but that was the one thing holding me back.With this one, as long as I don’t walk Thru too hairy of spots, I don’t even have to think about it.
Great review, I'm buying one! I'm not kidding here, I bought my first Stewart Golf buggy 15 years ago and I am still using the original battery. After all those years of work on tough Aussie tracks my buggy needs to be replaced: the joints have got a little tired!
Upgrade options for the next version would be: distance numbers, wind speed and direction at the ball, club suggestions and a score tracker would be nice. But what an cool idea, and it seems to work pretty good too.
Nice to see a British product featured! I recently rented a Powakaddy on a hilly course and it freed me up to really just concentrate on golf, which is what I loved about it versus a push cart. One of these just takes that to the next level, and would be awesome!
One must constantly move the fob back and forth in follow mode. They need a button on the cart that will suspend follow vs uncliping and recliping the fob for every shot. Leave it clipped to your back so you can eliminate possibility of dropping the fob. An "on-in-off" button on the cart elinates and extra step. Otherwise a cool device.
Very cool indeed! Wonder if it will ever come up with a version of that that looks like R2-D2 that would get lots of attention on the course! If they ever do… Count me in. Great videos Gabe, Love this channel keep them coming!
Don’t be fooled, the trolly is ok as a remote controlled trolly but the follow feature isn’t as good as advertised. If you walk really slowly it’s ok but it doesn’t keep up with you when walking at normal pace!
@@LetsPlayThru the battery life has been nice. I have the upgraded battery and I charge as soon as I get home. Although last Saturday it stopped on the 17th green for the first time since I got it. Maybe I need to replace the battery now after six years of use.
t is unfortunate that he is either biased or too excited owning one as it is new in his experience and has not tried other brands. Although my comments below are about x9 i have tested too and is on same technology so allow the slack. here is my honest review after owning a x9 for 2 years: the follow function is indeed unique but you end up using it a fraction of time. noisy when in function. very heavy and bulky compared to competitors. front wheel does not rotate resulting to jerky turns and fast wear and tear of front wheels.. umbrella holder that you have to buy separately mounts in one of the ball holder holes, it is flimsy with a little wind under your umbrella, the hole handle and holder will break apart, hence i never dare to use it. plastic used on the overall machine looks and feels cheap while you pay premium price. movements are jerky. don't expect finesse. remote control is bulky big and looks like a 90's cellphone. the buttons will wear off fast and you will end up feeling your thumb after your round. around greens , if there are small heels ( usually are) the connection will be lost. Motors are bare on left and right side behind rear wheels with a none reenforced connection to gearbox resulting to vulnerability. in my case, the right side motor broke and fell during trip to the course in the car. repair took 7 months. Customer service is lagging behind. Paying 2.2k euro, and fetching the most expensive one in the market, one expect more quality. I guess i fell victim of the same marketing as here. My point, go and check it out and play a round with one before you pay top dollar for it. I already know which one will be my next purchase and it is not SG. ali
Does it have a trailer hitch so I can tow a cooler?😅 I would consider this but hav a knee that is not so good so I would be afraid of that a little but more walking could also be good medicine 👍
It would be nicer if the cart itself had a pause/stop button so you can leave the remote attached to your belt while in follow mode. Clipping and unclipping each time becomes a pain. Maybe ver 2.0 🙂
Of all the toys you get to play with, this is the one that I WANT!! How heavy is it? Regardless of the battery life, I’m sure it will die on me sometime. Probably when I’m furthest from the clubhouse. Pushing a heavy cart might be a problem. Also, wonder if flat terrain extends the playable battery life as opposed to hilly conditions. This is now on my Wish List!
The beauty of the Q Follow is its SmartPower battery, which you can connect up to our smartphone app and always keep track of your battery percentage! Hilly terrain will use slightly more battery power, but you'll still get 36 holes out of it no problem! ⛳
Always enjoy your reviews of all the great tech. If I should ever hit the lottery, I'll be going through all of your reviews to make my list of items to get. I just need to hit that big lottery. 😆
YIKES they are expensive. Thanks for the review but WAY too much for my blood. I use a push cart I bought at Big 5 for $40 and it goes wherever I want it to go! :)
This cart is awesome! Looks a bit creepy when it follows you though. Seems like it folds down to a pretty small size which would come into handy. That thing was even popping wheelies out there! Enjoyed the video Gabe!
A cart bag is definitely preferred as the legs on a walking bag give me problems. Lighter definitely better so not a tour bag, but just a nice regular cart bag should be great.
Nice review! Do you have to put the remote on the cart when you’re on the tee box or can you push stop on the remote and press follow when you walk off the tee box? Thanks.
Had a Stewart Follower for 3 YEARS - didn’t make it on follow mode without breaking Due to fattige plastic. Had technical Highschool in Stockholm to examine it and came back - weak construction💩🕳🎯 The handle fell down broken in Follow mode, tried to Claire, with HK service rejected, went up to CEO aldo rejected… Had to buy new handle,,went to service and had it replaced! The CEO claimed me using too much power handling it, so saker service an I the only one replacing broken handle… he laughed me no you are the fight in short Time🤮🕳🎯🥊 Also the battery didn’t even make it 18 holes in spring /autumn - Claim rejected 🤬 Its not a Rolls Royce handling just the Price, not worth it.
Hi, Mark from NJ here I'm looking at getting either this or the Axlgo... love the videos.... I have a question ... is it possible to keep the remote on the back of your pants in follow mode, grab a club and hit your shot? Is the cart within striking distance of the club? ... this is in fairway situations... im thinking it stays several feet away from you so perhaps there is room to swing.. thanks in advance, best wishes.. I
Gabe i been telling you that you need this exact thing. Mine doesn't follow me but i can push a button to make it. By the way i need a golf watch, i need your best advice on buying one. Bang 4 buck!? Im not trying to spend alot. (If i can) spent enough on my clubs and mgi zip navigator. Speaking of which. My MGI ZIP NAVIGATOR A/T would never get stuck like that sub par product did. 😆 🤣 im just kidding. (But seriously, it wouldn't) thats where the A/T comes from. (ALL TERRAIN) Keep up the great content my friend!
@@LetsPlayThru i was hoping 200$ but if i get the best for 300$ more i feel like i should just bite. Especially if its as good as he makes it sound. No?
Nice cart but definitely looks like the rear support “wheelie” wheels should be out a little farther or the bag needs to sit a touch more forward because the front wheels were routinely lifting off the ground which tells me going uphill is gonna be sketchy.
@@Lawsurf1 have you found a course where the hills were a problem? Also what’s the difference between the Q follow and the X10? Did you consider one or the other?
@@AsadKhan-lm6yr Q follow is the new version, X10 follow is the first version and that’s what I have. I haven’t found any hill it did not climb, sometimes you have to hold the handle as a guide but the motor still goes on without any problem.
Had to come back and watch this one since in all your vlogs you are using it. I usually ride but I have been walking more cause I like having my clubs nearby, it''s good exercise and usually just do nine anyway. It's not a must have product, but one I could see myself getting at some point. Very thorough and fair review man. I hope you at least gave it a name.
That is a cool caddy, my wonder is, how is the clip on the back of that remote, is there a chance of it breaking then you don’t have a choice but to keep it in your pocket, I also noticed if you start and stop constantly it looks like it wants to tip backwards glad there is the anti-tip tire . I do love the follow though, and it looks really nice.
@@LetsPlayThru I bet I would love to have one of those so I wouldn't need a cart and have to pay the cart fee cause I don't mind walking I just don't wanna push one around
Fell into some decent problems and need to sell my zip navigator AT. I need help selling it gabe. I know your not in business of solicitation. Im not trying too. I sware. I just need money for my girls.
This review is fantasy. I bought a Stewart Golf Q Follow cart after watching this review and am very disappointed in the quality of build, stability, and software. Quality: the electric connection from the charger to the cart's main battery is cheap and flimsy, reminiscent of my first Heath Kit back in the 1970s and I had to dismantle the brand new hand held controller to glue down it's battery because it was loose and rattled inside of the controller (cheap and no quality control here). Stability: my cart frequently tips over scattering my golf bag and clubs onto the fairway. Also, the cart tips backward and falls over when climbing moderately steep hills. It tips sideways and falls over when it encounters moderate deviations in the ground's surface like a root or transitioning from fairway to cart path . Software: sometimes pressing a button on the hand controller results in the cart surging forward violently often crashing into something or someone (I nicknamed my cart "Ankle Biter" because of this). And there is no way to slow down the cart once it starts down a slope, it just takes off letting gravity accelerate it and, when careening down a hill, the cart ignores the hand controller signals to slow down. The cart isn't exactly crap but it's not "The rolls Royce of Electric Golf Carts", it's more like "An Overpriced 1970 MG".
I had the X9 and bought the Q and am honestly disappointed. Feels like a downgrade. Not as stable, follow function is unreliable. Probably going to sell it and get an Alphard eWheels now they have the follow functionality.
I have old version. And build quality is so terrible, that i will never dare to buy this one. As even from video i can recognise and smell some cheap plactic. It also stopped being stabile in following, so you never know if it will keep following for sure, or if it will stop.
Anyone out there have problems with the follow mode stopping ever 30 feet. I don’t use mine anymore. To me it’s just a q remote from here on. The fucking losers from JPSM golf in Canada won’t help.

£1700 here in the UK. Same price as a second hand 2-seater golf buggy. But it looks like an awesome piece of kit.
But how many golf buggies will you take from course to course
@@AsadKhan-lm6yr I watch many here in Wales taking buggies with them; many are single seaters than fit in the back of a 4x4
Actually £1500 with an 18 hole battery. £1700 with 36.
I use that same 66 Sacks Parente putter, and love it! But presently I use a Batcaddy x8r. It is light years behind.
It would be nicer if the cart itself had a pause/stop button so you can leave the remote attached to your belt while in follow mode. Clipping and unclipping each time becomes a pain. Maybe ver 2.0 🙂
you can just press stop on the remote and keep the remote on you. after your shot press follow me again.
Right...i'm getting one...please tell me they have them down here!

It’s about 20 pounds I’d guess. It’s as easy as any push cart in manual mode too.

Great Gabe...now if you get another one to hold your camera and put it in front of you....Hands free.. Have Fun
That things is freaking awesome!
Have you tried any Caddytrek units? If you have how would you rate the comparison. Loved this video.
That cart is awesome just what us older guys need !!
Not only for older guys 😂

I’m rooting for you John
YIKES they are expensive. Thanks for the review but WAY too much for my blood. I use a push cart I bought at Big 5 for $40 and it goes wherever I want it to go! :)
That's an amazing cart. If I actually walked course I would 100% have one! Great review!
Thanks Joel, I’m excited to use it this year
This cart is awesome! Looks a bit creepy when it follows you though. Seems like it folds down to a pretty small size which would come into handy. That thing was even popping wheelies out there! Enjoyed the video Gabe!
It’s very compact when folded down. Easy to carry as well. Maybe a bit too much for air travel but in and out of a car works great.
Great looking cart, solid review
So what is the weight capacity? And maximum speed MPH?
One question Gabe - what bag do you recommend with this cart? I assume your bag can't be to lite or to heavy
A cart bag is definitely preferred as the legs on a walking bag give me problems. Lighter definitely better so not a tour bag, but just a nice regular cart bag should be great.
Nice review! Do you have to put the remote on the cart when you’re on the tee box or can you push stop on the remote and press follow when you walk off the tee box? Thanks.
You can do both! Leaving the handset on the cart just minimizes how often you need to press the handset buttons as it's still in 'Follow' mode

Great question! It get serviced in your home state in fact! The US service center is in Michigan.

Does anyone have information or experience with the Axlgo follow me trolley? ... just asking....

Hi Gabe,
Will the follow-mode work if your shirt is untucked and draped over the remote?
it's def not recommended
