Looks like another unnecessary accesory, that's targeted towards the golfer-who-has-(needs)-everything....i.e., 'younger conspicuous consumers' :rolleyes:

This one is as stupid as I've seen. At least when I lay my sticks in the back of my suv they're flat against the carpet. With this wacked out thing they're going to bounce off each other every time I hit a bump. The guy will still make a million $$$ however because there's one born every minute.

Thanks for expressing your opinions with regard to the Golf Cradle. I am the inventor and owner of the company. I would hope that Golfers would "at least" try the Golf Cradle before being critical. We are trying to solve a problem that many of us have, that being: preventing damage to the clubs while traveling to and from the golf course. I am always looking to improve our product....

Some ideas are so simple stupid that you kick yourself for not thinking of it ie that line em up putting aid that draws lines on your golf ball. The dude who invented that must have made a ton of money for a product everyone thought was useful and they were charging $10 for a 5 cent product which everyone was buying. This does not come close to that.

Well, when your bag isn't sitting in it you can always strap your head in, pull the strap tight and repeat "I will not buy stupid $#!+ off the internet." :cookoo:

Hi Richard,
congrats on your product. Don't take offense to the words of some - I'm sure you've got a market there and as your product appears to be well built, I think you'll be successful.
Myself, I would think that by having the clubs elevated at the heads, would actually increase the chances for chatter, thereby making it noisier and prone to about as much damage as walking with a bag on your back.
Again, I wish you luck with your product and hopefully we can have you here as a contributing member.

This wouldn't prevent or cause any more bag chatter than when you place your clubs/bag on the carpet. Keeping it elevated though could actually help from snapping a club head off if the bag isn't laid down properly. On a long road trip this accessory might work alright, keep the bag from rolling around unless you have luggage snugged up against the bag.

Wasn't there an invention like this on TGC Fore Inventor's Only...I remember getting a judge to drive a truck around like a maniac trying to tip the thing over...:D
Something similar, not knocking it, just an observation.

You are correct. The Golf Cradle was on "Fore Inventors Only." We were on the show and enjoyed the opportunity to be reviewed.

That's why I'm liking the BagBoy NXO Revolver Cart Bag!!! :)

I do enjoy the "chatter" from all the responces...really. Let me explain, the Golf Cradle has been tested up to 45 mile an hour turns and studden stops. The Bag does not roll. The so called "chatter" of the clubs decreases significantly as well. It also stops the clubs from sliding out of the bag when you do make turns...Thats my sales pitch....
Again, I really do enjoy the comments and the discussion.

I would agree that it's best use is likely in a van/suv or even a pickup - anything that has a large cargo area and is likely to allow the clubs to slide away from it's intended position.

nice concept Richard. I'd like to see you "expand" that so it would hold a traveling foursome.
