Best new 'push' buggy on market
 
I am about to purchase a new 'push' buggy, I am considering the 'Bag Boy' SMOOTHY but have been told by a few who have brought it that some of the suspension mechanisms are prone to breaking. I want a buggy that is easy to push, with 3 wheels and will take my 9 inch bag. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated,

From what I've been told and seen, the Sun Mountain Speed Cart is supposed to be the best 3 wheeler. Certainly the most popular from what I've seen on the course. Apparently the umbrella holder is the most sturdy of them all. Hope this helps.

PS. I recently bought one and awaiting delivery.

I've had the Sun Mountain for three years and I love it. No problems with it.

The SunMountain Speed Cart is a solid product. Sun Mountain's customer service is also great. When a flat occurred in one of the tires, Sun Mountain sent me 3 new inner tubes at no cost after I called to ask how much it cost to purchase an inner tube.

The need for speed
 
I sell both Bag Boy and Sun Mountain push (Speed) carts. Sun Mountain outsells all others 10:1. A great investment, especially if you have any back problems. It also is available in a motorized version. I have yet to get feedback on the motorized model.

Thanks for the advice, I checked out the one you all recommended last night on the net, looks good. Does anyone know if it is available in Australia?

I have a friend that has the Sun Mountain Speed Cart. He over loaded the cart with too many clubs and the warped the frame and now the wheels are out of alignent and it wants to turn in a circle. I brought back a Bag Boy EZ Fold to the UK (Here is one

for a friend after my visit at Canton. This is a far better cart IMO it folds up better than the Sun Mountain . The tyres are solid (The Sun Mountain has tyres that you have to put air in.) The EZ is far stronger and more simple in design and better all round. My friend with the Sun Mountain is planning to get the Bag Boy .

I've used a Sun Mountain for a couple of years as do many of the guys I play with. Never heard of any structural issues. Excellent ease of movement - the closest thing to having a caddy. Outstanding customer service.

I always thought BagBoy missed the boat on the 3-wheeler. For a company that dominated the pull cart market for as long as I can remember they were a day late and a dollar short in the push cart arena. Their push carts look more and more like a Sun Mountain every year.
