McEwen Reviews It: The Big Max Blade IP Push Cart

McEwen Reviews It (in Two Minutes!): The Big Max Blade IP

No Description

Call it a golf awakening. Call it a golf maturity. Or just call it an effort to be just a little more active. But, this golf season I really wanted to start walking more courses. I don’t really know why. I just did.

However, I wasn’t very interested in carrying for 18 holes. I basically wanted to exercise, but not that much. I also enjoy a few of the things that come along with riding. I like to play music on the course, for example. I don’t really want anything in my pockets while playing, including my phone, which I use occasionally for scoring and course GPS.

All of that basically means I was in the market for a push cart. That’s right, I’m signing up to be a member of the notorious push cart mafia.

But owning a push cart comes with some challenges for me, as well. Specifically, I have very limited storage space. I live in a condo, which means no basement or garage. I also don’t own a car, so I can’t even “store” a push cart in the trunk.

Besides the litany of awards the push cart has won, including a Golf Digest Editors Choice Award for two years running and a MyGolfSpy Most Wanted award, my lack of space is what initially drew me to the Big Max Blade IP push cart.

While all of their carts fold-up really well, the three-wheeled Blade IP folds-up so flat you can store it nearly anywhere. Currently, when mine isn’t in use, it lives in between my couch and the wall in my second bedroom. It’s roughly an 8-inch space.

Seriously.

That being said, the push cart’s fold flat technology doesn’t mean it sacrifices many push cart creature comforts. The brilliance in design extends to its storage capabilities, as well.

When unfolded, it has spaces for two golf balls, two tees, and a very accommodating cup holder. It also comes with a ball marker magnet and ball marker, scorecard and pencil holder, and a flip-open storage area. All of this before you get to all of the additional add-ons available on their website.

From an umbrella holder, to a GPS or phone holder, a large cooler bag that attaches to the back of the cart, or even a large basket that easily attaches on the bottom of the cart, Big Max has thought of about everything.

They even have a storage hook for the Blade IP, because yes, it is flat enough that you can even hang it on a wall.

When you hang it on the wall, just tell your significant other that the push cart is a work of art.

You wouldn’t be wrong.
