I have just ordered a Dynamis with remote control, based on using
one of my buddies Lectronic Caddy. I think they are great, plus
your back is not twisted around pulling a pull cart. I even ordered
the folding seat option...for those long 5 hour rounds.
Make sure to get the hill tamer wheel if you play on any hilly
courses.

The alternative to the USGA
I believe if courses rented these instead of carts, then the pace of play
would improve considerably. Apart of course for the time spend dragging the
pond for those who just couldn't get the hang of the rmote control option!!

Ball Marks: Fix yours and one more
But, basically the remote is important because it is convienient and
well worth the money. We are not talking toys here - kind of like a
car - you don't need AC but it sure is nice to have. Plus the resale
is higher.
With most things, purchase the best I can find (and afford) - that
way if I no longer need or want it - I stand a better chance of
reselling it and at least getting something back - rather than letting
it sit someplace in the house because nobody wants it.
Just my opinion.

Anyhow I purchased a Dynamis (from golfsellersdirect.com in TN). I paid
$899 delivered and am very happy with the product. After carrying my
bag forever, it was time for a switch and I didn't want to be attached
to a pull cart. It's really quite fun to just walk down the fairway.
That doesn't mean you can just mindlessly wander along. It's quite
possible to run into yourself, someone else or a tree with the Dynamis.
(It's very quiet). Plus if you're not familiar with a course, you may
encounter rough terrain or swampy areas that will require a bit more
attention.
What sold me on the Dynamis?
1) remote control (left/right, speed up/down, on/off),
2) range (they say it's 100 yds. I won't argue.) If the remote loses
touch with the cart, the cart stops until contact is re-establish
(automatically). This could happen due to distance or low batteries.
3) very compact storage and takes just a moment for set up and put away,
4) price,
5) brand (OK, I like their golf bags. This wasn't very important,
obviously).
It's really a lot of fun. I've learned to just keep the remote in my
back pocket and press the buttons through the pocket. Folks don't even
see it. It's very simple.
I rarely play with a scheduled group of golfers and it seems that folks
have one of 2 attitudes about the Dynamis. 1) Gee, that's really great,
tell me about it, or 2) they barely acknowledge it's presence. I'm just
guessing, but maybe the latter think it's too gimmicky. It's probably
similar to when golf carts were 1st available.
If you can justify the expense, I recommend the remote variety of
powered cart. And if you're interested in the Dynamis, don't be
concerned about where you buy it online. My dealer was close by, but
he'll never see it, any repairs would be done by me or a regional
service center.
