GREETINGS golfers. Another month means another review and this month we have the brilliant Tri Lite Golf Buggy and the Pro FX Leather golf glove exclusively found in Golf Clearance Outlet stores around the country.
Golfers, I can assure you these two products need to be considered for your next buggy or glove purchase because both products are brilliant.
Let’s get started with the buggy. I am always intrigued by what golf manufacturers can design and improve on their previous products but it should come as no surprise that they keep exceeding expectations and that’s what I found when using the Tri Lite Golf Buggy.
Firstly, when I went to collect the product, I was taken aback at how lightweight the buggy was, but then even more so at its ability to make the walk even more enjoyable.
Unboxing the buggy was a breeze – a simple pull out from the box with no complications just adds to the experience in using the buggy but the way the buggy folds up and down is clearly one of the main features.
I love simple and easy when it comes to buggies. The buggy’s patented glide mechanism is the reason for this and makes the transition from the carpark to the course effortless.
Speaking of easy and simple, the dimensions of the three-wheel push buggy have been designed so that it fits perfectly in the boot of the car which I can vouch for. I drive a smaller car and I can get both the clubs and buggy in the boot which is brilliant. The exact dimensions of the buggy are 25” x 16.8” x 12.8”.
It must be said, the first day I used the buggy it was really windy, so my thinking was that because the buggy was so light it may have blown over, however this was not the case.
I was actually astounded at how sturdy and lightweight it was at the same time. The top and bottom adjustable flaps with the elastic cord straps allowed my stand bag to stay securely in place for the whole round which again can sometimes be an issue for a smaller bag but not this buggy.
Some of the other useful features were the storage compartments just underneath the handle. Due to my work, I do check my phone whilst playing but I hate carrying it in my pocket so being able to have access to it in a very convenient spot is handy.
Without a doubt, in my mind, this buggy is the best in its class. From its strategic design to affordable price point it ticks every category. The Tri Lite Deluxe buggy needs to be on your hit list when it comes to push buggies.
Now to the Pro FX Cabretta Leather Glove.
Again, what a winner we have here! Like all leather products, the smell of a new glove or leather shoes will never get old.
When trying on the glove before the round there was a seamless feel to it. Now here’s a tip from a pro golfer; never pull the glove on from the cuff, always carefully slide your fingers into the glove. Pulling from the cuff stretches an already full cabretta leather glove and won’t make for optimal use.
The glove itself is great. It’s very simple when it comes to gloves in my opinion. You want it to feel great and fit great.
Another tip for finding the right glove size, when you have pulled the velcro over you ideally want to have a little bit of velcro visible after tightening.
This is because the glove will stretch thanks to the leather. About an inch is the right amount – this allows for the most usage possible without the glove getting a hole in it and the glove wearing too quickly.
Back to the Pro FX Cabretta Leather Glove. The glove has three key features; the actual leather used in the glove is a Cabretta Leather for enhanced grip and control.
The lycra inserts on the knuckles provide exceptional fit and feel and towards the outer side of the wrist it includes a ball marker button.
All in all, both products are winners. Golfers, when looking to purchase a new push buggy or glove don’t look any further than the Tri Lite Deluxe Golf Buggy and the pro FX Cabretta Leather Glove.
