Smarter than your average bear
Remember when golf carts were just … carts? Those days are gone.
Stewart Golf’s new V10 Remote packs a processor they’re calling the “Cortex” microchip—a name that suggests this thing is one AI implementation away from offering swing tips. According to Stewart, this silicon brain assesses the environment 1,000 times per second, approximately 999 more times per second than most golfers assess their lie.
The chip powers what Stewart calls “Active Terrain Control” (ATC), a technology that provides consistent speed control whether you’re going uphill, downhill or across terrain that looks like it was designed by a drunk gopher. Where other electric trolleys might make a break for the nearest water hazard on a steep downslope, according to Stewart the V10 stays locked in like it’s on a mission.
As someone who’s watched his unattended push cart roll into a bunker, I can appreciate this level of intelligence (artificial or otherwise).
But where do I put my stuff?
The V10 includes built-in scorecard, ball and tee holders but, like most electric trolleys, console space remains at a premium. If you’re like me and carry enough accessories to open a small pro shop—two rangefinders (one for backup), three gloves, a weather station and enough tees to build a small fence, you may find space lacking.
But, again, that’s a common problem with electric trolleys.
The bottom line
At $1,499 (with upgrade options that can push costs higher), the V10 Remote isn’t cheap. But when you consider it’ll handle terrain that would make a mountain goat nervous while you stroll along with minimal effort, it starts to make sense.
The V10 Remote represents the continuing evolution of electric trolleys from novelty items to sophisticated pieces of golf technology. With its terrain-sensing capabilities, it solves one of the biggest pain points of remote trolleys: keeping them under control on hilly courses.
For the uninitiated looking to enter the electric trolley market with something cutting-edge or for current electric trolley users tired of chasing their runaway equipment, the Stewart Golf V10 Remote makes a compelling case as your next golf investment.
Options and availability
The V10 Remote builds on Stewart’s X Series chassis with a sleek, five-layer Senosan® composite finish that comes in either Pearlescent White or Metallic Silver.
