A released latch lets the Bag Boy Nitron's spring-powered frame unfold in seconds.
Brittany Olizarowicz started using the push cart this year so her kids would walk more and she could join them. After using it for most of the summer, she found it folds compactly for storage. The three-wheel cart weighs about 16.7 pounds (7.6 kg) and folds to 19 × 13.5 × 22 inches, or roughly 48 × 34 × 56 cm. The mechanism is not motorized.
A handle-mounted brake and low-resistance wheels round out the design. Its Top-Lok attachment is made for compatible Bag Boy bags with the matching lower channel, not every golf bag. The Nitron specifications match the compact, quick-opening design Olizarowicz appreciated. Its storage layout and color appealed to her, too.
For years, she carried her bag whenever she walked. Her previous push cart, which she used as a child, was metal and rusty. Folding it was difficult, so carrying seemed like less trouble. The Nitron changed her mind.
Her blade putter, in the bag for about 20 years, is now out of the rotation.
Olizarowicz is switching between the Technologist RP1 Pro and the Odyssey Ai-Dual Square 2 Square #7. Both use a zero-torque design intended to reduce the head's tendency to rotate during the stroke. The Technologist allows more face rotation than the Odyssey, which she prefers.
The Odyssey Ai-Dual Square 2 Square #7 has 5 degrees of loft. Its lie angle is 72 degrees. It comes in 33- or 34-inch lengths. Less head rotation does not eliminate errors in direction or pace, and Olizarowicz has not settled on a permanent replacement. She is getting the results she wants and feels little urgency to return to a blade. An overview of zero-torque putter design explains the same distinction between the technology's design aim and the wider range of putting variables.
The TaylorMade Stealth 2 3-wood has also held its place. Olizarowicz paid $150 for the used club after noticing older TaylorMade fairway woods in PGA Tour players' bags. Fairway woods are generally used for longer shots from the tee or turf. Their lofts commonly range from about 13 to 22 degrees. A Tour equipment report also documented players using older equipment, in that case Mizuno JPX-900 Tour irons.
For Olizarowicz, the Stealth 2 became a dependable option from the tee or turf. It filled a gap in a bag she had been carrying with 13 clubs, gave her an alternative to driver and made going for par-5s more realistic. Its performance has her considering whether to remove her hybrid. She may look for another used Stealth fairway wood with more loft. The hybrid remains in the bag for now.
