Delta Cart

[Casey 1988]

If you were to get a used one at a good price I get it. They look built to last.

I'd really like MVP to make a Delta-like cart. Something in the box style that you can sit on. They've got the basic one now that you can put a bag into.

This would be a good time for somebody else to step up and MVP already has the cart they make now and no seat carts unlike Zuca or Ridge Roller. I say why not MVP/Axiom? All MVP would need to do is attach a box like the Delta to the no seat cart they already make.

I really think MVP could make a big splash with a more affordable 'Delta style' cart. Something in the $300-$350 range.

Or only as high as the Zuca regular Backpack cart at the $300 range. I mean the MVP Rover cart at $120 is $20-$30 lower then the EZ Cart by Zuca. So then adding a box to the cart is just a wild guess, an extra $75 in parts so that means $150, so for the consumer $275 for the cart making it the lowest option for a solid side disc golf cart that has a seat and is not something modified from a cube shaped wheeled cooler with the extendable handle.

I have seen the MVP Rover carts are now $150 still $5-$10 less then the EZ Cart by Zuca. so that is $225 for the cart with about $75 in parts for MVP to make the cube that gets attached to the MVP Rover cart and so $300-$325 for the consumer price. Still lower then the other 2 brands that make a fully solid non fabric sided cart.

Bummer to hear about Delta. My 11s been in service for 2 years now.

If someone could get Delta's tooling, they could rework these to be a much better cart.

- The axle needs more support and protection (because it can be bent by hand). Don't drop it!
- Ditch the cooler for interior cup holders.
- Does anyone actually use the rainfly? Mine sits on the floorboard of my Jeep taking up space.

Otherwise I love the design.

The Crosslap Cubus is a really good comparable option to the Delta with what appear to be really good reviews too!

When it comes time for me to upgrade to that style of cart, a Cubus will likely be where i'm looking, and they're right near that $300 price point if i'm not mistaken

I've had mine for about 6 months now. I've had to make some modifications to the lid but other than that it's been solid. It took me a bit to figure it out on the course & how to organize the inside of it but once I did I've been happy about the purchase.

I'm 36 & it's really noticeable how much better I feel after a round of not carrying a bag. Let me know if you have questions about the Cubus.

I bought a zuca backpack cart and modified it. You can build it fairly inexpensive. Make it as bulletproof as you want.

Then the company has had a bad business model from the get go.

Agreed. Decent idea for a cart, just not the investment capital needed to mass produce at a consumer friendly price so they thought they could sustain at a higher price due to the niche market. I always thought that milk crate on a stick design was fugly. But..I did check out a few in person and they were definitely built like a tank. Cheaper Zuca, DD carts, etc, solidified their doom ultimately imop.

Bold I agree having seen the Zuca/Zuca made Dynamic Disc Carts with both the odd backpack design and the true carts Zuca make being lower cost. Though the Zuca is not a tank, very very durable from the one Zuca true cart I sat on in a store. The others out now like the MVP and Dynamic Disc no seat backpack carts have really made a dent into the market that Delta could not reverse, Even the 3 wheel Rovac was probably taking away business.

And of course the original designer of the Zuca AT that brought the ridge roller to the market as well. The r3 has only been around for a bout a year, but the cart itself was already pretty popular for its versatility, durability, and of course the attentiveness of the owner of the company. When he decided to make the r3 I like to think that had a pretty big impact on delta as well, as not only were they similar products but ridge roller had a pretty well established customer base.

At about $550. So basically not any cheaper.

Yeah but a lot of people already had the roller. it was only an additional 200 for the r3. For people new to the brand they could buy the roller first then the r3 whenever. 2-300 in two orders is a bit easier to secure than 550 all at once.

That's a great looking setup. Is Ricky really getting that sponsorship or you just joking because of the black & yellow?

Not joking, it's fully loaded out which is rare to see on an order that joe posts about, I don't think it's a sponsorship, I feel like Joe would have posted about it unless he's waiting for Ricky to post about it. I could see Ricky paying for the cart. But joe was dropping hints on the post and with delta gone I can't say I'm surprised.

Yep though I see difficulty putting the Innova logos on the non fabric parts, but more Fabric to put the small Innova logos on the cart then the Delta he currently uses.

The ridge roller has a much higher weight limit (450 lbs) than other carts. So it's on my radar. I recently took my GGGT cart out of mothballs and repaired the tires. If it breaks on me again, I think an unpainted ridge roller R3 ($430) is in my future.

But to more older players you could sell the GGGT cart easier for about 1/2 to 3/4 price. They like the fact this cart has an actual back to it.

The back on the gggt carts is nice, but I also like the the RR has solid fills available for tires on the website. I found some solid fills I hoped would fit the gggt tires (they did not) and emailed gggt to ask if they would fit or if they have alternatives, and they just sent me a link to buy replacement air filled tires. Like they didn't understand my question? Not impressed.
