The ifrothgolf review
A microfibre golf towel with two embedded neodymium magnets and a clip-on carabiner, so you can slap it on a metal cart frame, a club shaft or your bag rail and grab it one-handed instead of fishing for a knotted towel.
What's great
The convenience is real: the magnet means you can plant the towel anywhere ferrous and rip it off without untying anything, which is genuinely handy mid-round. Most decent ones use waffle-weave microfibre that actually scrubs mud out of grooves rather than just smearing it. The dual setup is smart too, the carabiner gives you a fallback when there's nothing metal to stick to, and good versions hold firm even on bumpy cart paths.
Worth knowing
Magnetic strength is where the cheap ones fall over, literally. Towels rarely fail on straight pull, they shear off sideways from cart vibration, bumps and the extra weight when soaked, and weak magnets walk loose and vanish mid-round (plenty of folk lose one inside a few rounds). The bigger catch nobody mentions on the listing: magnets only grip ferrous metal, so they will not stick to aluminium carts or trolleys at all, leaving you reliant on the clip. The clip itself is often the flimsiest part.
The verdict
I rate it as a proper convenience upgrade if the magnet is strong and your cart is steel, just go in knowing a weak one will desert you and an aluminium trolley kills the magnet trick entirely. Buy on magnet quality, not the print on the towel.
What reviewers say
Reviewers praise the thick quality towel and the genuinely strong magnet plus the backup carabiner. The noted limitation is that the magnet needs a ferrous surface, so it won't hold on aluminium carts.
