I will say the taylormade q10 3w I picked up is fairly reliable.

Hit the Smoke and Q10
Q10 is lighter and felt whippy
The smoke felt a little heavier which I liked.
Wasn't much between them. The smoke felt more forgiving and did try to smack all parts of the face :lol:
Gets its first run tomorrow arvo

Got the forged tec irons loft and lie checked out and a couple of grips done on a wedge and old putter.

The 6i was supposed to be 26° but was actually 22.7° :lol:

That was the biggest discrepancy. Couple were out by 3° :shock:

Going to feel like a different set of clubs.

Garage2green - based at flagstaff hill.
Quick turnaround.

All up was $100.

I have been using 1 for 4 years and it is fantastic.
Even better technology now, mine doesn't have the course being played in the screen but still a great investment.
Great when you're close to the green, grab the putter have 3 putts :D :D and then get the buggy to come to you as you move off to the next tee block.
Definitely worth the $'s.

Ive seen a few disasters with them.... people accidentally hitting the remote and off it goes :lol: without them knowing.

Ive got one without the remote and love it. Need to go up a hill, set speed to the highest setting and hold on!

Yeah a mate of mine back in SA was an early adopter of the electric buggy. Putting out on the 4th at Mt Barker (Aston Hills) and he had the remote in his pocket....meanwhile his buggy was doing "donuts" on the bank at the rear of the green.

Will take a bit of trial & error I guess. I will probably get it all set up, then do a few laps of our street, a court and very quiet, see if I can get the hang of it before I run the whole lot into a dam on course!

I am in the habit (now) of "locking" it when I put it in my back pocket when putting, although 2 weeks ago when going up a hill at our Course (Waikerie) the bloody thing got sideways as I wasn't paying attention and it went arse up. The other 3 in the group thought it was bloody hilarious.

No, but the battery weighs a tonne. One of the older lads at the club got one. And forgot to charge his remote...
