The ifrothgolf review
PowaKaddy's flagship compact electric trolley with a built-in 5-inch touchscreen GPS, the first of its kind on the market.
What's great
The screen is the headline and it delivers, with proper full-hole mapping and green views that rival a dedicated handheld GPS. Golf Monthly's review called it probably the best overall model for usability and features, and Golfalot highlighted that it stays remarkably compact and easy to fold despite the bigger display. Course detection is automatic, scoring is built in, and there are no sneaky annual fees. The drivetrain is 20% more powerful than before and whisper quiet, and the battery shrugs off a 36-hole day. The 5-year battery warranty is class-leading.
Worth knowing
The price. £1,199 to £1,249 buys a very nice holiday. If you already own a GPS watch you are paying for duplication. The touchscreen, like all of them, is harder to read in low winter sun and needs careful drying after a soaking. And there is no Amazon route here in practice, so you are buying through golf retailers where deals vary a lot, so shop around.
The verdict
An extraordinary piece of kit that makes financial sense only if it replaces a GPS purchase too. If it does, it's brilliant.
