Staff WriterWe golfers love our toys, and the Stewart Golf Q Follow has always been one of the shiniest, fun, and most wanted. Billed as the “world’s best follow trolley,” it’s the kind of gadget that makes your playing partners mutter, “Well, that’s a bit fancy, isn’t it?” But with its latest makeover, the Q Follow has gone from impressive to downright irresistible.
So what’s new in this edition, and is it really worth the upgrade? Let’s take a stroll.
Performance: Your Clubs’ Personal Chauffeur
The big story is the 8th Generation Follow technology. Stewart claims it’s more responsive and intuitive, and after putting it through its paces, I’d have to agree. The trolley sticks to you like a caddie who knows their tip depends on it, gliding smoothly across fairways and rough without complaint.
Remote control range now extends to nearly 100 yards, so you can wander ahead while your clubs obediently trundle along behind. It’s a strange sort of freedom—like walking the dog, except the dog is a $4,000 piece of British engineering.
The Battery: Small But Mighty
Stewart has introduced a 2nd generation SmartPower battery, and it’s a clever little thing. It weighs less, runs more efficiently, and even switches itself off when idle.
The integration with Stewart’s revamped app is a highlight—real-time diagnostics, performance stats, and battery health all in your pocket. Golfers who love a bit of data will lap it up.
Style: Golf’s New Catwalk Star
Here’s where Stewart Golf has decided to turn heads. The Design Series adds six new colours—copper, champagne, amethyst, aqua, red, and yellow—alongside the classic black options. Subtle? Not really. Fun? Absolutely.
There’s also a new magnetic mounting plate, which means you can snap on your rangefinder, a Bluetooth speaker, or even your lucky headcover. It’s small touches like this that make the trolley feel like it’s been designed by golfers, for golfers.
Verdict: The Most Refined Q Follow Yet
Mark Stewart, CEO of Stewart Golf, summed it up: “The Q Follow has always represented the best of what we do: innovation, performance, and design excellence. The new edition is a meaningful evolution, with smarter technology and expanded customisation. It’s our most refined product yet.”
And he’s right. This isn’t a revolution—it’s an evolution. But it’s the sort of upgrade that feels noticeable in every round: smoother performance, smarter energy use, and a sharper look.
The Stewart Golf Q Follow isn’t cheap, and it isn’t trying to be. But if you’re the kind of golfer who likes to walk the course without lugging a bag—or if you just enjoy being the envy of your fourball—it’s hard to imagine a better companion.
