Big Hyzer Bags Approach Cart

[Stevo]

Haven't seen a thread on this yet...

Looks pretty solid and he does custom colors. Not a fan of the dual handle set up at first glance.

$289.95

Doesn't look awful, but I agree about the dual handles.

I also wonder how those "10" flat free" wheels will hold up. Are they plastic? How long before they split down the middle like the oldschool 'BigWheels' we had as kids.

Only has 45+ disc capacity.

Only has 45+ disc capacity.

Yeah and where does the 6pk fit?!

PS hi there!

I'll admit, I was thinking "That's an insane amount of discs." to have with you. Maybe if you were carting them around to sell.

Sup

be back in a few months

Yea definitely not a fan of the dual handle. I don't even see how that makes sense. Big Hyzer seems like a company that takes other companies designs, tweeks it a little bit, uses cheaper materials and puts out a less quality product that looks similar.

As someone who owns a first gen Ergo, I completely disagree. Their quality is high, and John even stopped overseas production on his bags because he was unhappy with the product they returned. They are the company that produces unique products instead of starting with an existing idea and tweaking it slightly to play it safe. Some of the ideas work and some don't. At least they're thinking outside the box.

I'm not a fan of the double handle either, but it does leave the back of the cart (not the easiest to access in the Ridge Roller) open to have easily accessible storage.

I owned a first gen Ergo as well and it was higher quality than many top-of-the-market bags. And I cant agree that John tweaks others' ideas either - that original Ergo was completely outside the box at the time.

I had an Ergo2, and my experience with it and working with John in general has me intrigued in this cart. Also not a fan of the dual handles- seems like it would push/pull unevenly. I think it would work just as well with a handle similar to the GoCart and still leave the back open. I imagine the wheels would be rough/bouncy on rough terrain, but I like the overall design of the bag. Interested in seeing more pics and reviews once someone has it in hand.

It's impossible to tell what the cart looks like when they shoot video in such poor lighting. Looks like they put more thought into the music selection than showing off the features of the bag.

 

[tbird888]

Guess you didn't click the link in the post and look at the pictures.

 

[Mr. Butlertron]

Yeah, I looked at the pictures. My comment was about video.

I have zero experience with Big Hyzer Bags, but the I don't like the look of this cart compared to the Zuca or Delta carts. The storage options on this cart look great though, and Big Hyzer Bags are the first company that started with disc golf bags to get in on the cart market. Do you think Grip or Voodoo, or even Innova will follow suit?

Um, yeah. I wager they will.

Yes. Pull/push carts sell well in ball golf, and most people don't even walk. As opposed to disc golf where everyone walks except perhaps a small percentage who are handicapped. Granted, golf clubs are heavier, but carts are the future for disc carrying (at least for the hardcore player). There will always be casual players that don't want to make that kind of investment, but for people who are already spending $300 on a bag, why not spend a little more for the exceptionally better cart over a backpack. Mark my words, in ten years, disc golf backpacks will no longer exist. It will be casual bags, older single strap style bags, then carts, and nothing in between.

Not out west. You definitely won't ever be seeing a predominance of carts at places like Whistler's Bend or Diamond X, although I'd love to see someone drag their carts up those cliffs. And I would question whether some of these carts are "exceptionally" or even marginally better than some of the better bags out there (specifically, thinking of the various bags out of Montana).

I definitely think we will see more carts. Like bags though, there will be good and bad, expensive and cheaper. And there will be pros and cons and tradeoffs as between the two options.

I will bet you a fancy cart that there will still be more bags than carts on the course, at least where I live, in ten years. And I bet you I will have both, and use them for different types of outings.

Carts are very terrain dependent. When I played a tournament in Florida this year 95%ish of the players had carts, and I was super jealous. The terrain was perfectly suited for a cart. Taking a cart to a lot of the events I play in this region would be idiotic.

I understand the argument for or against the cart being feasible or not. But take Barry Schultz for example, he tours everywhere and I haven't seen him need a bag, for years?

But, on the other hand, I have played courses where it would be completely impossible...

That's true. But there is a difference between possible and a good idea.

It didn't look like he was a big fan of lugging his cart around the IDGC at the HoFC this year, for example.
