Features

The Powakaddy FX5 range has a section of great features which make them the perfect choice for golfers who are seeking superior performance.

Widescreen Display

This range utilises the latest technology in its trolleys to make for an easier golfing experience. The models have a bright, 2.8-inch OCA mid-size full-colour widescreen display for easy access. They also use an automatic distance function. This means users can send the trolley off for 15, 30 or 45 yards, allowing it to reach up the fairway, or go towards the next tee. Another great feature of this range is the USB charging port. This allows you to charge your phone whenever, meaning you’ll never run out of power.

Motor

This range also uses a fast yet efficient motor. The 30v 230w motor is powerful yet whisper-quiet, having been awarded a Quiet Mark™ by the UK Noise Abatement Society. The trolleys are easily stored, using a simple 1-click folding system. These new models fold 20% smaller than the previous model. The Powakaddy FX5 range also contains a new speed controller system which is 30-volt. This offers improved speed control for the trolley. Furthermore, the new hall effect transducer offers improved downhill control.

Battery

The trolleys have a Plug’n’Play 30v battery system, which are the most powerful and lightest lithium batteries available. They also come with the new push power button LED, and the battery top isolator switch also makes it simple to turn off your battery when needed.

Design

The design of the Powakaddy FX5 range is both sleek and modern, perfect for any stylish golfer. The new models are finished with a metallic gunmetal paint and have premium trims. The trolleys are also fairly lightweight, coming in at around 9.6kg without the battery. Plus, the stylish black wheels are easily removable if you need more storage space. The alloy frame looks sleek but is also very strong and durable, and the handle is easily adjustable for your perfect height.

The different trolleys

The main difference between the trolleys in this range is the battery type. The Powakaddy FX5 18 Hole model offers an 18 hole lithium battery, while the other Powakaddy FX5 36 Hole offers a 36 hole lithium battery. Therefore, golfers can select which model is best for them based on their golfing needs.

Both trolleys come with a 2-year warranty in the unlikely situation that something was to break.

Verdict

At Complete Golfer, we are big fans of the new Powakaddy FX5 range. The models look sleek and stylish while offering incredible performance. The quiet motor and quick folding system are extra bonuses which make this range a must-buy for any golfer looking for the best performance.
