FEATURES THAT MATTER
Bag Security
When it comes to push carts and golf bag combinations, you never want to compromise bag security. The push cart needs longer arms to help “hug” the bag no matter what size the bag may be. Some push carts have technology built into the neckvwhich allows the bag stand to lock in.
The best push cart for golfers who have a stand bag is any of the Bag Boy push carts.
Wide Push Cart Bag Base
Push carts with a wide base keep the bag from twisting. Yes, having arms also helps prevent with bag twisting but the width of the base where your bag sits makes a huge difference.
Push carts that have a wide base are ClicGear and Sun Mountain. Bag Boy is also a good contender.
More Tips
- For the best results, choose a golf bag and golf cart from the same company. Motocaddy and Bag Boy are good options.
- Stand bags on push carts tend to slide around and twist. For the best results, you should consider a cart bag.
- Golf carts with a wide wheelbase are stable on side hills. ClicGear is a great example.
- Some electric push carts work well with cart bags. MotoCaddy and MGI do well at keeping your bag stable. Most have a built-in brake to prevent your cart from running away on hills.
- If you are taller or shorter than average, look for a golf push cart with adjustable handles.
The Best Golf Bag/Cart Combo 2022 – FAQ
Q: Does it matter how many wheels a push cart has?
A: Most of the best golf push carts of 2022 are three-wheeled models with a 360-degree front wheel. They tend to be easier to maneuver. Golfers who play on uneven terrain may want to consider a four-wheeled cart as they tend to be more stable.
Q: Do push carts work with golf stand bags?
A: While just about any cart can handle a stand bag, the frequent twisting can be frustrating. Features like Bag Boy’s Top-Lok were designed to eliminate the frustration many stand bag owners experience when using a push cart. Motocaddy also has a bag and cart combo that locks together with ease.
Q: How does an electric cart work?
A: Electric carts are powered by small batteries. The batteries need to be charged after every round through a power outlet. Depending on the battery type, you should get two to five seasons out of the battery depending on how many rounds you play.

Big Max. Unless your cart is electric, a Big Max is better. They make bags too.

Ryan, I agree! I have a Big Max FF push cart and I love it. I’m 6’6″ and all I do is walk, and this cart is the only one that is ergonomically friendly for me! It’s a bit unstable if one side of your bag is too heavy, and may cause it to fall over, but it is a workhorse
