GoKart: The latest powered trolley

GoKart folds up neatly

A Canterbury-based company has taken a fresh approach to powered golf trolley design with the introduction of the appropriately-named GoKart (why did no one think of that name before?).

Stylish GoKart

Made almost entirely from thermoplastic polymers, Go Kart claims strength with low weight - only 7.6 kg with the 18-hole battery - and patented new drive system. It's easy and compact to fold away in seconds.

An on/off switch and roller controls the speed and it takes only eight hours to re-charge. A unique service is the loan of a GoKart, free of charge, if yours needs repair, whether in or out of warranty.

Prices range from £199 with a standard battery to £229 with a 24Ah battery, capable of 36 holes (Prices include battery charger).

The new Bettinardi C05 mallet

Based on prototypes tested on the PGA Tour, the putters have been heavily influenced by Billy Andrade  already using the C-05 and Luke Donald, who famously putted with a Mizuno Bettinardi tohelp retain the 2006 Ryder Cup. Both new models are precision milled from soft carbon steel and feature Bettinardi's honeycomb face.

Says Andrade: "The C-06 reminds me of a putter I used when I was in college. I prefer the putting motion of a face balanced putters and love its look at address and the superb feel. The C-05's lower profile is something we find useful to aid alignment, without losing the precision and feel."

Both putters will be available in May with 34 and 35-inch shaft options.

Hippo Hiptec set

The set also includes a new generation, face-balanced putter with polymer insert face and H200 stand bag or G200 cart bag in red/black or blue/black colour scheme. Price is either £199.99 with steel shafts in the irons and woods or £249.99 in graphite.
