The ifrothgolf review

A three-wheel manual push trolley built around Big Max's flat-fold system. The whole frame collapses in a single movement into a slim, suitcase-sized slab that slides into even a small boot. It is light at around 8 kg, runs on wide-tread tyres, and carries an organiser console up top with a covered storage tray, a footbrake, and a height-adjustable handle. The base adjusts to take most bag sizes.

What's great

The folding is the headline and it lives up to it. One pull and the thing drops genuinely flat, no faffing with removing wheels or wrestling locks, and it stands up again just as fast. For the boot-space-conscious it is hard to beat. On the course it pushes smoothly and tracks straight on flat or gently rolling ground, the wide wheelbase keeps it stable, and the console is actually useful rather than a token gimmick. Build quality is solid for the money, with a two-axle frame that feels more rigid than a lot of flat-fold rivals.

Worth knowing

The compact footprint is a trade-off. On steep hills and rough, uneven ground it can feel a touch tippy and takes more managing than a longer-wheelbase cart. It is not the cheapest push trolley out there either, and the official price tends to sit around 200 pounds rather than the bargain end. Stock comes and goes, so colours can be hit and miss, and a few owners find the handle height adjustment a little stiff when new.

The verdict

If your main gripe with push trolleys is that they eat your boot, this is about as good as flat-folding gets without dropping to a flimsy budget frame. Pay the money for the fold and the build, accept it would rather you played somewhere flat-ish, and you will get on with it for years.
