Bag Boy Golf Umbrella Holder

I wasn't sure I was going to have to buy a new hand cart for the golf bag. I had to walk off the course because the umbrella older kept sliding and the sun has been pretty strong in NJ lately. The new holder works great and saved me from having to buy a new cart.

Installed onto Nitron cart in under 10 mins based on main pic on the box. hesitant at first since the holder which came wit the cart isn’t all that bad, just not tall enough for 62” umbrella at full vertical position. I’m 5’9. Tilting the umbrella forward made headroom from the rear, but resulted in loss of front visibility when pushing cart， which was irritating when trying to look forward to find ball.This unit clearly is 4” taller (see pic where I positioned the factory one where it would sit on the mount point), and allows me to walk under without having to duck. It does wobble a bit without the golf bag but so did the factory unit. It is well built and I’m looking forward to next outting to test! Great product from Bagboy!

I love this umbrella holder the only thing is that the umbrella is way to high up because the holder is to tall but that isn't that big of a deal. It still work well.

I am impressed with this product. I used it to attach an umbrella to a chair on a small balcony and it works very well. I like that it moves side to side and backward and forward to follow the sun. I read a couple of reviews where people said the holder slips and doesn't stay in place. But the "gears" are racheted so I don't know how they can slip. Maybe these people mean the mounting piece slips on whatever they have it attached to. But I tightened up the screws as far as I could and it seems to fit very securely.I AM ADDING TO THE PREVIOUS REVIEW, ABOVE. NOW THAT I HAVE USED THIS FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS I AGREE WITH THE OTHERS WHO SAID THE PRODUCT SLIPS...THE WEIGHT OF THE UMBRELLA CAUSES THE HOLDER TO SLIP ON WHATEVER IT IS MOUNTED TO (IN MY CASE A CHAIR, BUT SAME CIRCUMFERENCE AS A GOLF CART) WHEN THE UMBRELLA IS IN A DIAGONAL POSITION (NOT STRAIGHT UP AND DOWN). THE COMPANY TRIED TO DEAL WITH THIS BY ADDING SOME STICKY PATCHES TO THE MOUNTING PIECE, BUT IT IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO PREVENT SLIPPAGE.

Although the holder is of good quality materials, there is a serious design flaw. I used this once in light to moderate wind gusts and the 'pusher' or umbrella clamp failed (the part that applies pressure to the base of the umbrella. In the accompanying photo, the critical piece IMO, is only 3/4" in length. That small length is supposed to apply pressure to the umbrella grip when adjusted.The butt end of the screw can rather easily come out of the umbrella clamp IMO due to the clamp's small 3/4" size. I'm not an engineer, but the load/movement of the umbrella in any kind of moderate wind, needs to be distributed over a larger area sic. a larger clamp.If one tightens the clamp too hard, you run the risk of the clamp popping off the screw.I was able to reattach the clamp to the screw, so we'll see how things work in the future.

I mounted the holder but have not had the chance to actually use it yet. I gave the 3 stars because there were no directions included with it. I used the picture on the box and trial and error to put it together. There is an extra piece that I have no idea about. It appears to be an "if needed" part, one that you might have to use to mount to an unusual cart. But with no directions and it is not pictured I just threw it under the back seat of my truck just in case. Otherwise, it appears to be of solid construction and even with my complaint of no directions it wasn't hard or time consuming to mount it to my cart handle.

Excellent fit well constructed.OEM Bagboy accessory.So Much better than the cheaper universal knock-off umbrella holders that aren’t sturdy or stabile.Fits my son’s bagboy cart perfectly. Very happy with this one.

The BB umbrella holder that came with my Quad XL did not raise the umbrella high enough for me to see more than a few feet in front of me when the cart handle was angled up for this 5'10" golfer. There were no adjustments possible. Additionally, the cup diameter was much too large for the BB Sun umbrella handle to sit snugly without wedging something else in there. The umbrella was useless I could find a different cart attachment. This attachment I am reviewing arrived within 48 hours and is fantastic. The design is well thought out and the plastic is very sturdy. I can adjust it quickly in 2 different ways and make it exactly right for me. It came with an adapter that fits the square indentation on my cart made for the umbrella holder, (as well as a clamp if you want to put it on a tubular handle). The 3rd adjustment knob should hold any umbrella handle snugly. This adapter is a WINNER!
