I was lucky enough to recieve a pair of these new wheels from the GM team to try.
I used them on Saturday and Sunday on a course that was very wet and muddy.
I can happily report they were excellent
Powakaddy have changed the lever to release the wheels to a simple push button. This is a great improvement as the old lever was a bit fiddley.
The wheels themselves are very good in the mud and hardly leave a mark.There was no sliping and sliding on hills and the grip was superb.
More importantly I feel, the mud doesn't stick to them like it did to the old wheels.
However, I do have several issues.
1. The size. They are considerably wider than the old wheels so if space is a problem in your car, this is something to check before you buy.
2. Price. If you do decide to buy these new wheels, you won't get much change out of £65.
I have spoken to several people at my club and they would have been happier paying £30-£40. They all thought £65 was a bit pricey.
3. Will all clubs allow them instead of the familiar hedgehogs?
Overall, a very good product if you play alot of golf in the winter on muddy courses, but may be a bit difficult to justify the cost to HID.
