owaKaddy has launched a seriously stylish new model for 2016, featuring an innovative technology that allows the
trolley to move at the same speed as the golfer by just touching the handle whilst walking.
and abilities will love how simple and intuitive the Touch is – it simplifies controlling the trolley’s speed and allows them to concentrate fully on their game. Crucially, all the technology is out of sight and out of mind, so it really is as simple as Touch and walk at the speed you want to travel at. “It’s an extremely intelligent technology and a significant amount of work has been undertaken by our R&D team to make sure it performs intuitively across all sorts of terrain. That’s crucial – you can have a lot of innovation and exciting features, but the trolley needs to perform perfectly,” added Thompson. Meanwhile, PowaKaddy CEO David Catford
Based on its Touch and Go Technology, the
PowaKaddy Touch model only requires the golfer to rest his or her hand on the comfortable, ambidextrous grip and start walking for the highly-intelligent trolley to begin moving at the speed the user desires. The Touch – which comes in a striking Polar White or Classic Black frame with yellow trims – continues to travel at the same speed even when the user’s hand has been taken off the handle. A new Kinetic LED Power Display turns
green when the trolley is moving and then goes red once it has stopped. A red activator button beneath the handle provides a discreet way to switch the trolley into standby mode. Its appearance is backed by stylish new
Deluxe Sporty 11” quick-release low-profile wheels with yellow trim, while the crisp Polar White or Classic Black frame combines perfectly with eye-catching yellow finishes on the front and a stylish rear diffuser on the back of the trolley’s PowaFrame, plus handle. “The Touch takes trolley technology onto a
whole new level and provides golfers with one of the easiest control functions ever seen,” commented PowaKaddy Engineering Manager Andy Thompson. “Golfers of all ages

be backed by a really effective marketing campaign supported by some really exciting Point of Sale in 2016,” added Catford. PowaKaddy’s sleek and compact Plug’n’Play
Lithium batteries perfectly compliment the Touch, and golfers who opt for the 18-hole Lithium option to power their trolley will benefit from the thinnest and highest energy battery in its class.

commented: “We see Touch as being one of the biggest profit growth opportunities for the Golf Pro in 2016. To the consumer it offers a simple proposition that is very easy to sell and to the dealer it offers great margins. It’s a trolley that has incredible shelf appeal and one that really stands out as soon as you see it.
The new Touch model has gone through
robust and extensive testing over the past two years to ensure its technology can handle a wide range of terrains in the most extreme weather conditions. A number of PowaKaddy features that have
proved particularly popular with trolley users in recent years continue with the brand’s latest addition – notably the Plug’n’Play Battery System that eliminates fiddly connectors and exposed wires, a USB Charging Port for powering smartphones and a sleek PowaFrame chassis with sealed underside. Bungee bag straps with integrated anti-pinch handles help secure the cart bag firmly to the trolley, while there is also the PowaKaddy Key Lock base that ensures greater stability on varying terrains.
