UK-based golf trolley manufacturer Stewart Golf has received its first shipment of its new VERTX Remote, more than half of which have been pre-sold.
The VERTX features a number of industry firsts, including Active Terrain Control (ATC, which automatically redistributes power independently between twin motors depending on elevation grades. Unlike basic downhill braking, ATC keeps the VERTX travelling at a desired speed and direction – uphill, downhill, and on side slopes.
The innovative ATC system is powered by the new AP1 Cortex Microchip, which monitors power requirements from each motor up to 1,000 times per second. This new system also adjusts to different golf bags, allowing smoother response when holding a lightweight bag.
The VERTX also features Stewart Golf’s innovative integrated stabilizer, which automatically deploys and retracts when the trolley is opened or closed. As it approaches a gradient, the stabilizer tilts back and continues driving up that hill.
The VERTX is also longest range trolley in the market, with its second-generation SmartPower Lithium battery now providing enough power for 27 or 45 holes. The plug-and-play battery offers users the ability to monitor usage and capacity in real time using the free Stewart Golf smartphone app.
Other features include ultra-compact folding for easy storage and transport. A built-in handle allows for one-handed lifting. New 5S wheels provide increased traction for improved handling, while giving the VERTX an eye-catching new look.
The VERTX Remote will sell alongside the Q Follow and the X10 trolleys in the range, offering customers a choice between three models.
At launch, the trolley will retail from $1,899 for either the Black or Carbon Edition. Every new VERTX Remote comes with Stewart’s 100-hole money-back guarantee.
“Our development team has worked tirelessly to provide golfers with a distinctive, innovative remote trolley that truly enhances their game and helps us reach our goal to change how the world plays golf,” says Mark Stewart, CEO of Stewart Golf. “With the forward-thinking technology applied to the VERTX, we believe we have a machine that not only looks fantastic but performs at a level that sets itself apart from anything else out there.”
