Upright Caddy RASR four wheel push cart improves on its RACR predecessor

Supplemental Review

Back on February 8th, 2009 I posted my review of the Upright Caddy RACR. The Upright Caddy RACR is a four wheeled golf push cart or trolley (UK) which holds the golf bag in an upright position. I also sat down and talked with Andy De Carlo about the unit and gave him a face to face honest assessment of the product and what I would change if I could.

Since then Andy has come up with a newer and better model. The new unit for 2011 is called the RASR and not the RACR. Honestly I don’t get either name as neither is actually a word. In this review I’ll discuss what the strengths of the new RASR are, and also highlight the features which have been improved over the RACR. I’m fairly sure that I’ll get my RACR’s and RASR’s mixed up at some point, so I apologize in advance for that.

Strengths

Just like the RACR, the RASR holds the golf bag and clubs in a vertical position. This is MUCH better than any other golf push cart on the market, no matter if they’re two, three, four or 84 wheels. Club access and bag access are all far better than carts which hold the bag at an angle. Even using a club towel is easier.

The RASR is light. The frame is made from aluminum tubes, not steel. The RASR’s wheels are a very light plastic.

The cart is easy to push because of the light frame and wheels, and the solid wheelbase.

I sense the latest fad in golf drivers developing. Last week I started testing a new Bridgestone J40 driver which isn’t the max 460cc’s. It is 445. And today Nike announced the new VR PRO Limited Edition Forged Driver which comes in a 300cc’s, pictured below.

HOG YouTube channel tops 4,000,000 views

Nice little golf blog milestone this week. The Hooked On Golf Blog YouTube channel just topped the 4,000,000 view mark. Yes I realize that is probably as many views as a Britney Spears crotch shot or Lady Gaga gets in one day, but hey man this is a golf blog.

Speaking of Lady Gaga, the world gaga is a family/Greek slang word for poo. So every time I hear the the phrase “Lady Gaga” I interpret “Lady Poo.” Not terribly pleasant.

Anyway, I’ll just pat myself on the back for a second and suggest that you check out one of my over 300 golf videos on the HOG/TGS YouTube channel. I’m no Francis Ford Coppola, but here are some of my favorites:

I see a lot of golf clubs and seldom do I react like I did when the Maruman Shuttle i4000X 3-Wood arrived. This club is quite a sight to behold.

Would the performance of the club match its aesthetics?
