    Hey Guys, I’m Alex Etches and I’m a golf professional and product reviewer. If you don’t know me, I started playing golf at 10 years old, turned professional at 22 in the UK, and have been creating entertaining and informative golf content on different platforms for the last 10 years. My home is now AUSTRALIA and I hope to take you around some of the best golf courses from down under.
    On this channel, you can expect many fun reviews and videos. From testing out some crazy golf clubs to the latest product releases which includes TaylorMade, Callaway, Cobra, Mizuno, Titleist, and many more...
    I also do lots of traveling and will bring you along the journey with me. With Golf Vlogs from the UK, US, and many other locations it never gets boring on tour with #TEAMAL!
    Anyway, enough about me - If you’re new to the channel, or have been with #TEAMAL for a while, write a message down in the comment section and say Hi!

    Tested and ordered. Never tested a driver that gives me the length, direction and dispersion like this one. Ordered immediately. Loved the feeling and sound of it too, which is not to be forgotten

    Brooooo.. this driver has changed my golf life LOL. I was skeptical of changing, but was long overdue to change my driver. I bought a used STG that was hiding on the rack. Hit some practice swings and felt it was the one. I did have to tinker with the weights to get it to perform the way I want. I also changed the shaft to grafalloy stiff, and BOOOM it goes! Its def redifined LONG and Forgiving drivers! My last tourney I hit 70% of fairways in the middle, the fairways I did miss were all in play and just slightly off the "technical" boundaries of the fairway. Love it!

    Just got one and the thing that stands out for me with this driver (and doesn’t get mentioned in any reviews I’ve seen in CZcams land) is the roll you get with it, it’s not as easy to hit as the Sim2 or the Epic Speed or the G425 but WOW is goes so well when hit properly, as Al said “Strike is Everything!”

  • @ssmith954

    Mizuno woods are far too overlooked. I've hit the JPX 900 with a graffaloy rocket prototype and the ST & GT180's and they're absolute monsters. Almost put one in the bag till I switched to the Callaway XR Speed in 2018 because the latter was so long and really stable. Great stuff! I do slightly miss the papa smurf blue since I do like a good helping of cheese with my stuff 🤣

  • @toonlad4091

    This really does seem like a driver for everyone providing you like the shape and sound.....
    Adjustability for all shapes and abilities, with the right shaft and loft this could be my next driver......perhaps!

    @Simplycomfortfood Před 2 lety

    Thank you Alex. Great information and I chuckle several times during the video. Your channel is definitely not a cookie cutter of the other golf channels. Please don't change a thing. I love the simulator but an occasional on the course reviews would be great. I really need new irons this year and I have never been fitted before so just a little about me before I ask to have you recommend some game improvement irons to hit when being fitted. I am 65 years old, 19 handicap. My biggest complaint is that don't hit my irons very far. 7 Iron = 135 to140 yds 22 degree hybrid 185 yds. My current irons - 2008 Callaway Big Bertha irons. I went into a golf hitting bay at our local golf store just before my total knee replacement surgery last December and tested a Taylormade P790 7 Iron. First swing.......177 yards. Second swing 179 yards. Technology is a wonderful thing. Thanks for any suggestions that you can offer. Again, love the channel.
