NEW GENERATION WITH THIRD WHEEL

In 2020, Kaddey surprised the golfing world with the Switch: a compact trolley with two large wheels that you could both pull and push, excelling in maneuverability. It was equipped with handy features like an integrated pencil sharpener, a toolbox for accessories, and a 'selfie' stand to film your swing, yet the approach remained minimalist. 'Less is more,' according to the designers. So the third wheel on the new Switch+ came as a bit of a surprise to us.

On the other hand, the step taken by the Dutch manufacturer makes sense. There is always a group of golfers who swear by three wheels, and you'd be crazy not to cater to that audience. The third wheel is so discreetly designed and cleverly folds into the frame that it doesn't compromise the principles of the original Switch. The trolley remains just as compact, with hardly any loss in maneuverability. In fact, we often find ourselves driving with the front wheel in the air – maneuvering around the green and tee is quite easy. For 'long stretches' on the fairway, the third wheel definitely offers more luxury. Give the Switch+ a push and it smoothly and convincingly rolls a few meters on its own path, freeing your hands for a moment.

With three wheels and a wider wheelbase, stability is also improved, which you especially notice when you park the trolley on a slope or need the umbrella when it's windy. The new generation is equipped with simple but effective brakes on both wheels, so you can lock the trolley from both sides and with both feet. This has been well thought out. Softer material is used for the handle, which increases comfort. You can also use the Switch+ as a two-wheeler by not unfolding the third wheel and removing the extensions of the wheel axles, resulting in a narrower base and a fraction more maneuverability. However, for us, this does not outweigh the convenience of the three wheels.

Does the newcomer win on all fronts? Not quite. The frame of the Switch+ is about a kilo heavier than its predecessor (5.2 instead of 4 kilos), which you notice when you leave it attached to your bag. Yet, this last feature remains a brilliant option if you don't have to carry it much – click the wheels on and within half a minute you're rolling. Ideal. And by making the wheels half a kilo lighter, the total weight has only increased by 700 grams (7.5 instead of 6.8 kilos). You won't notice this on the course.
