​Bluetooth Technology The X9 Follow uses the very latest in Bluetooth technology as built into billions of products all over the world. Bluetooth provides an extremely stable platform from which to send and receive signals from the trolley to the handset. Each X9 Follow comes with a handset already 'paired' to one another meaning that you only have to turn them both on and they will connect automatically. Once the connection is made it remains connected for the duration of your round. This means that signals are sent instantly and reliably you won't be waiting for a connection every time.Rechargeable Lithium Handset Another convenient feature of the X9 Follow is the new rechargeable handset.Our engineers have kept the same compact handset case but integrated a large lithium battery. This is charged via anew port on the right hand side (a charger is supplied). Whilst we recommend that the handset is charged after every round the lithium battery means that you won't have to replace the handset battery for many years. Complete Remote FunctionalityThe X9 Follow also has complete remote control functionality similar to previous X Series models. This is ideal for when you find yourself in the rough or when you reach the green and want to send your X9 Follow to the next tee. From up to 50m you can speed the machine up and down steer it left or right and stop it using either the orange 'glide stop' or red 'emergency stop' buttons. If you prefer to have the machine in front of you sometimes you have the option of setting two 'cruise control' speeds to suit your walking pace.Downhill BrakingThe X9 Follow will automatically apply a braking force if you slow your pace when going down a hill.Integrated StabiliserThe X Series chassis has been proven to be the most stable on the market after more than a decade of use since the original X1. As well as a wide rear wheelbase and twin front wheels the chassis also contains an integrated stabiliser. Should the X9 Follow tip backwards when travelling up hill it will 'bounce' on thestabiliser until it makes it back on to all 4 wheels. If the ground is damp or wet the rear wheels may lose traction and you may need to assist from the handle. V3 Wheel SetThe X9 Follow is supplied as standard with the V3 wheel set. These wheels were created with the X9 Follow in mind; the lateral tread pattern generating excellent levels of grip that allow the X9 Follow's electronics system to make very fine steering adjustments. When compared to the previous alloy wheel design the V3 rear wheels have a flatter profile which increase stability dramatically. Additionally as a set of 4 wheels weight has been reduced by 30% which increases efficiency and therefore battery life. How it worksThe Follow System:In addition to the bluetooth electronics system there are two further antennas that power the X9 Follow. Mounted on each of the rear motors the two antennas work together to create two zones; a neutral zone and an active zone. When the handset is inside the neutral zone the X9 Follow will remain stationary. As the handset enters the active zone 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. Practically the system is designed to be as user friendly as possible so use is as simple as: Press the green 'follow' button and walk in front of the X9 Follow. The machine will fall in behind you and keep your walking pace. When you reach your ball & stop the X9 Follow will also stop. Put the handset on the cradle select your club and take your shot. Replace your club put the handset back on your back pocket/belt and resume walking. The X9 Follow will again pick up your pace.If you stop for any reason (such as to let another player take a shot) the X9 Follow will stop behind you automatically. When you are ready just start walking again and the X9 Follow will start again automatically. Remote ControlWhen you are approaching the tee or finding your ball in the long grass you may want to switch your X9 Follow into remote mode so you can send it off in your desired direction. To switch to remote mode all you have to do is press any of the directional buttons on the handset and full remote control functionality will be available. From up to 50m you can speed the machine up and down steer it left or right and stop it using either the orange 'glide stop' or red 'emergency stop' buttons. If you prefer to have the machine in front of you sometimes you have the option of setting two 'cruise control' speeds to suit your walking pace. Once you are back in the Active Zone you can switch back to Follow mode by pressing the green Follow button.Manual ControlIn car parks or on paths place the remote control onto the cradle and set the trolley to travel at a constant speed by pressing either the forward button or one of the programmable cruise control buttons. Using this method of steering over Remote or Follow will give you greater control over the trolley ensuring you avoid any accidental collisionsOther FeaturesThe X9 Follow comes complete with the whole host of other features including: Towel Clip Scorecard Holder & Pencil Clip Three golf ball holders Four tee holders Unique serial number plaque Adjustable handset cradle Integrated rear stabiliser Lithium Battery & Charger Anti rotation bag straps Quick release strap handles Specifications: Electronics EU Made 12V microprocessor control H bridge technology Bluetooth Class 1 LED on rear cover Battery & Charger 12v Lithium 22amp/hour 2 year warranty Size: 185 x 180 x 80mm Weight: 3kg Motor British Made Power: 2 x 190 watts Speed: 1500 1800 rpm Ferrite Magnets Single piece steel body Aluminium end casings Replaceable carbon brushes Gearbox British Made 25:1 Ratio Sealed for life Steel worm shaft CNC machined aluminium housing Cushioned 3 piece coupling Steel output shaft with 2 ball bearings 4 way drive Dimensions with Rear wheels Height: 32 cm Width: 66cm Length: 82cm Without Rear Wheels Height: 31cm Width: 63cm Length:82 cm Note: *The manufacturer's warranty covers purchases within the UK and Ireland only.
