Testers Wanted!

Motocaddy has long been considered a leader in the electric push cart industry, offering a wide variety of options at various price ranges, including the new M1 DHC and M5 GPS DHC. For this Testers Wanted opportunity, Motocaddy has offered several different models to put to the test!

About Motocaddy

Motocaddy is a British company founded in 2004, aiming to bring reliable and affordable electric caddies to all golfers. They have won several awards and introduced a variety of different technologies and accessories to their lineup.

The electric cart range consists of six different models, with the base model being the M1 DHC, the most simple to use but still including downhill control. With more features added, the M3 DHC and M5 DHC include integrated GPS with a touchscreen and further game-enhancing features. Finally, the M7 has two different REMOTE models with or without GPS technology.

The electric caddies also include Motocaddy’s EASILOCK technology and a host of other details such as an anti-tip rear wheel and a simple, compact folding design.

What Is Being Tested

For this testing opportunity, we will be selecting three golfers to test, review and keep one of three Motocaddy electric caddies.

Normally we cover a variety of topics in AskMyGolfSpy. However, today we are focusing on Most Wanted Testing. Specifically, our Most Wanted Drivers 2024. Let’s dive into some of your questions.

Q. Why didn’t you test PXG 0311 Black OPS or 0311 Black OPS Tour drivers?

We did everything we could to include them in testing. However, PXG declined to submit samples in time for testing so we opted to include the PXG 0311 and 0311 XF GEN6 drivers. Neither was tested in 2023 and each one is available at retail. Both were exceptional and the best PXG drivers we have tested to date. We are encouraged and excited about how the Black OPS lineup will perform in our next Most Wanted Test.

Q. Will you be releasing swing speed articles this year?

Yes! We are thrilled with the new additions to our scoring methodologies and with these changes we will be able to execute swing speed articles for Most Wanted Driver 2024. These articles will be broken down by low, mid and high swing speeds. Stay tuned for these because they are more applicable to golfers.

Just six months ago, I was swinging my driver at around 93 mph. Now I’m around 108, sometimes 110. 

What did I do to make such a big jump? What made the biggest difference? 

(Spoiler: The answer isn’t speed training.)

Really. I did absolutely no speed training. No special speed sticks, no special training aids. Here’s how I gained 15 mph clubhead speed in a matter of months. 

My Speed Journey

Let’s start with this. I’m 6’2” and have a pretty large frame. I’ve always been pretty strong. While I’m still fairly new to golf, it’s easy to take one look at me and ask, “Why does that guy swing so slowly?”

I’ve seen Wyndham Clark’s putting routine one too many times. 

Apologies for singling out a player who has emerged as one of the top golfers in the world over the past year—he isn’t alone in this—but the way he operates on the greens goes too far for me. 

If you haven’t seen it, the gist is pretty simple: Clark relies heavily on his caddie, John Ellis, who spends ample time lining up his player. Ellis also regularly takes a wedge out to address the ball and “simulate” hitting the putt himself. 

In my eyes, the whole process goes beyond being tedious—it’s against the spirit of what the rules should be. 

It has me thinking that there should be an amendment to the current rule that limits the role of caddies when it comes to the alignment of golfers, particularly in the professional game. 

Maude-Aimee Leblanc shot a 7-under 64 and had the lone bogey-free round Thursday to take the first-round lead in the Fir Hills Seri Pak Championship.

Kevin Streelman has a new ball marker to help with alignment that required USGA approval before he teed off Thursday in the Valspar Championship. He had 10 consecutive one-putt greens on his way to a 7-under 64 and a one-shot lead.

There's a Kevin in first place. There's a Kevin in last place. And there are Kevins everywhere in between on the PGA Tour this week.
