Powakaddy twinline 3 push trolley

big_drive

Just looking for a bit of feedback on this trolley. Any users on here? What are the opinions on it in terms of quality, ease of use, etc?

Bought one a few months ago. Very easy to set up and use.

Only complaint I would have is the location of the brake. It's down on the wheel, would be easier if it was on the handle.

Other than that I've found it to be a great trolley, and it folds up pretty tidily to fit into the boot of the car

Thanks. And what is the quality of the brake like? I have a few bad slopes on my course and would need a brake that wouldn't slip or cause any issues

Also what kind of bag would fit on it? Could a stand bag fit?

Brake is fairly good, hasn't let me down on any slope yet.

I've a medium sized cart bag, and it fits fine on it. I'd imagine that a stand bag should be ok

I also was looking for a push cart recently and did a bit of research both online and in the shops. I decided to go with the Motocaddy S1 lite. Felt it was more solid than the other options and worked out cheaper. Definitely worth a look.

I've a stand bag and it's fine on it. It's height adjustable in a couple of different places, the handle height and also the section in which the top of the bag would rest where the straps are. On the previous version of the cart this was a fixed height and my stand bag was a little bit too short to fit on properly so this feature is important if you want to use it with a stand bag.

Bought the twinline 3 about 4 weeks ago and find it good, pretty effortless to push and a very solid construction. There's a small bit of lateral torsion on the extendable handle as it's height adjustable but nothing that really effects performance unless you're trying to turn alot of sharp corners fast.

I've a heavy old tour bag and it seats nicely on it and as acejeff advised the upper bag strap is height adjustable also so should take pretty much every bag size. My only gripe would be with the card & ball holder which is rather cheap looking and isn't waterproof. There's a small drawer that pulls out from under the card holder which is handy for a mobile phone or tees/pencils but again isn't waterproof in heavy rain.

Regarding the brake it locks one wheel in situ so the trolley won't go anywhere unless you're on a very severe hill where one wheel of the trolley might roll itself perpendicular to the slope. It folds down reasonably tidy (not as small as my previous two wheel pull trolley) and is very easy unfold.

In terms of price I'm not sure where you're based or looking to buy but I've seen in marked in McGuirks for €149 and similar in Halpenny, didn't try budge them on price as got it in the proshop in BlackBush GC for €110 down from the marked price of €120. That's the cheapest I've seen it for since. That was the last one they had in stock at the time (had one Twinline 1 remaining) so no harm giving them a ring before hand if thinking of making a big_drive.

Edit: I've no connection with the proshop in BlackBush but my one and only time in the shop I noticed alot of nice gear at good prices so I'll give credit where credit is due as the assistant pro selling me the trolley was also very helpful and friendly.

Got mine in McGuirks Leopardstown. Was tagged at €149 but got it for €120. Guy I was dealing with offered the discount without me asking

That's a big reduction from their marked price (>19%) which sort of makes a mockery of their list prices to begin with. I realise McGuirks often offer a discount in the region of 10% on their list price to help instill a perception of obtaining a bargain but I can't help but wonder why they can't price their produce correctly to begin with and leave it at that. A price should be a price since it's a retail store rather than a market or auction room.
