Mobile phones have only recently become accepted for on-course use over the past couple of years, they are now so functional when it comes to use when on the golf course. Whether it’s through live-scoring apps, acting as a GPS device or to tell your significant other you only have a few holes left when you’ve just made the turn, having easy access to your mobile has become so important and that’s why I wanted to get my hands on the Stripebird Golf magnetic phone holder.
I’ve tested a couple of golf mounts in the past as well as some of the best golf gadgets and have found they don’t tend to be overly sturdy and dislodge fairly easily when taking your buggy over rough terrain. However, this very practical, yet extremely simple in design phone holder from Stripebird is designed with the help of dual Neodymium N52 magnet plates which are known as some of the strongest rare-earth magnets and to my delight, didn’t budge at all when taken along on a bumpy ride. In fact, the magnets are so strong it was a little challenging to take the holder off from my buggy once it had a good hold.
One thing worth noting is that golf carts aren’t used as often in the UK as in the US and there was no way of actually attaching this device to my electric trolley without purchasing the additional ‘golf hub’ from the brands website which is a plate that slides onto your golf bag and then will attract the magnet on the phone holder. The phone holder itself will attach to your irons if you really wanted your phone on display when using a golf trolley, but I feel it looked messy and was fearful of what damage the metal block could do to my other irons while rattling around.
That said, even if you didn’t require your phone to be accessible at all times, the Stripebird phone holder was handy for attaching to an iron in my bag when on the driving range and wanting to record my swing. One screw simply opens the clamp and allows any model of phone to slot inside to then be tightened up again. The Stripebird magnetic phone clamp is also available in eight different colors, so you can add a personal touch to your newest golf accessory.
