How does the Follow system work?

Mounted on each of the rear motors, the two antennas work together to create two zones around the X9 Follow; a neutral zone and an active zone.

When the handset is inside the neutral zone (approximately 1m from the trolley), the X9 Follow will remain stationary. As the handset enters the active zone (1-3m away), the X9 Follow's electronics system will automatically & independently alter the speed of each rear motor to keep its pace. When the golfer (and therefore the handset) come to a stop, the X9 Follow will continue until the handset is back inside the neutral zone when it will also stop. The effect is that of digital elastic band, which stretches and contracts as you walk.

How long will the battery last?

You can order the X9 with either a standard (22Ah) or extended capacity (30Ah) battery pack.

We are not able to guarantee any battery for 36 holes for the following reasons:

18 holes of golf is not a finite measurement. A hole of golf can be anything between 100 and 700 yards long, so is not a reliable unit of measurement, especially when you take the distance between green and tee in to account too.

Terrain, ground condition, bag weight, and a number of other factors can make a big difference. Imagine running along a flat concrete road as opposed to up a steep sand dune & you'll get the idea.

The quality of the golf also affects how far you walk. A golfer shooting 65 will walk a lot less than a golfer shooting 110 and zig-zagging up the fairways! This scenario would also see the steering being used more, which also consumes more power.

Many customers have completed 36 holes with their X9 on a single charge, however if you play 36 on a regular basis we recommend that you purchase an additional battery pack.
