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 from 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 include 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, the 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!
Haha guys! I’m fine - was just a little unwell during shooting, which you can probably tell by the sound of me, but I wasn’t going to let that stop me!
Alex, you talk like you are a high handicapped player. But I feel you are the best utube player along with Matt!
i dont mean to be so offtopic but does anyone know of a way to get back into an instagram account?
I somehow lost my password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me.
@Lewis Cory instablaster ;)
@Brayden Luciano thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and Im in the hacking process now.
Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Brayden Luciano it worked and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thanks so much, you saved my account!
Holds 4 fingers up while stating 3 new clubs to review.... Love it
bought the g425 max 10.5 deg with reg shaft 55g. Im a 13 handicap and love it! Best driver ive had for 10yrs (replaced my 917f2)
I just had a fitting from my local driving range in Darwin in The Northern Territory Of Australia of the G425. I brought one and love it. I just need to wait until it gets delivered then I will give it a great workout.
Six seconds in and Alex is so excited his fingers don't work properly. Love it!
Big Al, what are you tryin to do to me. I need to get up @ 3.30am for a long work day. Now you going to make me stay up till 9.30 to watch this. Will be worth it but I will be cursing you out when I'm struggling tomorrow. Bring it!!!
Second that... Gilly
Between covid and having 3 kids all under 5yo I couldn't get on the golf course for 10 months so I spent 5,000$ on a skytrak and making a simulator room and have kept my handicap at +1... was +1.8 before covid
Funny thing is I took mine out on the range for the first time today and after three shots the bloke next to me asked what I was hitting because it sounded so different! Aside from the sound what a great driver all round!
Tested the G425 the other day wow.also a few hybrids and irons. Huge update for me soon. Real soon. Just ordered
Enjoyed the demonstrations on the Ping Drivers 425 Max...LST....SFT...outstanding.
My new favorite channel! Congrats on the exclusive and fantastic first impressions, keep it up Alex.
Congrats on the early access :-) Ping drivers always do what they say they will do.
I LOVE TURBULATORS! Seriously. I love looking down at my Ping with the matte finish and Batmobile wings.
The review should focus on a head to head between the 410 and the 425. This would help current 410 users and those looking to convert to Ping (as 410s will now become cheaper off the shelves).
Great swing Alex!
I was fitted last Friday for a G410 driver, Ping are telling me the 425 won't be out in the UK till next year, I can't imagine there will be a huge jump in performance..........or is there?
@@paulmilsom1346 Which G410 were you fitted for?
So the G400 Max was never replaced in the G410 series. That still had a higher MOI than the G410 Plus. The G425 Max replaces the G400 Max. It has an additional 16 yards of slice correction than the G400 Max did.
@@maxmclean6910 The G410 plus
Loved playing holes with the drivers!
Absolutely love the looks of those! Love to see you with the early access. Thanks for everything you provide to us!
I would love to hear your impression versus the previous versions of Ping drivers, G410, G400.... is it worth the upgrade versus the G400?
Still with you. The biggest endorsement for these is the fact that you had difficulty in hitting your shape shoots anything other than straight. They do look stealthy.
Awesome to see you getting new clubs to review before anyone else!! TXG should be jealous lol
Ping know where to release first...when product runs low.
Awesome.. Means the G410 will go on special at GolfBox
My thoughts exactly... seeing they just put them down to $399 tho
Great video Al - thanks. Did you play the same shaft throughout? Tensei Orange early on it seemed...?
G400 is a good looking rooster with the gold shaft but the G425 may now be the prince of the prom. I like the matt black top living in Oz where glare can be a problem..and thumbs up to the turbulators as it stands out in the crowd of plain..and offers downward pressure to prevent topping (maybe)..
What shafts came with each?? Looked like Tensi range in the MAX, but what was in the LST? They look gooooooodddd
bought the LST and absolutely love it! great video!
I agree with you Alex regarding the aesthetics pf the Ping Driver but I prefer the SFT
Love Ping Drivers the G400 Max is so easy to hit!
I hit 4 drives today on course that were 338,327,322,314 with my 2017 m1...shot 73 and went bogey bogey bogey to start back 9
Yes agreed on the looks. Way better than last years red and black.
Still with you...good drivers Ping just makes great drivers year after year.
Had a hit with one of these this afternoon (max for this golfing gumby) First ping g driver i have ever hit and i liked it alot. I suspect the treasurer is not going to ok it in the budget though 😪
I'm so looking forward to these Bad Boys being released in the UK (I'm always partial to a PING Driver)and the G425 looks damn sexy!
How do you feel the 425 LST compares to the 410 LST? I just got the 410 LST earlier this season, and I feel like improvement off of an already great driver would be hard to achieve...
Really liking the new format, playing a few holes during the reviews. Well done sir 👏🏻👏🏻
Another fun video! Loving the background music! Great taste Al!
Thanks Bob!
Another great review Al,I’ve read that these are only available in Australia and Asia for now.The sound remains me of my old Callaway FT 3 Fusion driver which by the way was a great driver but loud.
Saw these in person and they are 🔥
Man, I thought my G410+ was loud. That thing sounds like a Concord passing overhead at super sonic ...BOOM!
It's been a year since this video was made. I was so impressed with the g425 max, I bought the whole set of g425s. My handicap is going DOWN
What a looker!!! Hitting that one for sure...
This is the club I've been waiting for love my g400 but hate the brown shaft they came in cant wait to get this murdered out version
Love your videos as always, most fun golf channel out there keep it up!
Thanks so much, Sam!
Those drivers look SWEET!!
So the turbulators are still on the drivers but they dropped them from the fairways and hybrids (I think)?🤔
Best sounding driver on the market and will be top3 in ball speed.... the g410 is STILL THE NUMBER 1 ALL AROUND DRIVER ON THE MARKET ACCORDING TO ROBOT TESTING
Great video and great looking driver set, that LST looks fab.
It can't be a coincidence that every manufacturer can gain MOI on their new driver every 10 months. My guess is the R and D teams built 10 high MOI heads and chose the one with the lowest MOU and every yiiear they pick the next design in line.
I think head design and shaft design are constantly evolving. Both contribute to MOI. If a golf company could release a product that was miles ahead of their competition, they would certainly do so.
Stinger was a thing of beauty!
Love that Ping what do the head covers look like? also is it louder then the G400MAX and G410 plus or is it jus the studio. Well done! can't wait for a demo out on the course.
Still with you xD Excellent video - pretty sure I’m doing this the wrong way round as I bought the LST last week. Absolutely loving it, and getting really nice numbers. Put it in a 70g S rogue for even lower spin and it really goes on a good strike. Most importantly though, it’s still in play with reasonable distance on a Medium/poor strike. Great Club. Great video. 👌
Alex another awesome review. Love watching your stuff. Yeah this foils things are POX... but the stealth black is stunning!!!
Love the looks of that MAX!!
Hiya mate great video 👍 I’m a 7 handicap looking at the 921 tours and the P7MC, good iron player which would you recommend more 😊
Killing as I want one... any idea when they’ll reach the US. We have BBQ to visit as well! Loving your videos!! Keep them coming.
Love you videos, keep them coming.
I’m still using the G2....... love it......but the G425 looks like my next!
Congratulations on being first to premier.. looks great , sounds terrible... does it out perform the 410 ? 😉🏌️♂️⛳️🍻
Always like the bbq’s I see a lot of those. Reminder to always keep my home owners insurance up.
Wow, wish I hadn't bought the callaway epic flash in 2019 now! These ping drivers look fantastic and seem to be a pleasure to hit!
Great job Al, another entertaining video 👍 can’t wait to go have a look at one of these.
Awesome job big man!!! Some shapes some bombs what more can you ask for!!! I think we have a golfer out there!!! One semi stupid question at what point would you consider a 12 degree driver ,, not sure I understand that loft,, higher but shorter distance??? No clue ,, ty again perfect !!!
Picked up a Taylormade M5 but does anyone have information on when ping will be bringing these to market...asking for a friend...
I knew this driver was coming, but couldn’t wait so bought the 410 SFT. OH WELL! I guess the 410 will be the holiday driver from now on in..... when I say holiday, I mean the long shot chance of getting some Portugal/Spain golf in some §time soon 🙏 Still gonna buy this 425 though. Fact.
Good work Al, get well soon bud. 💪
Nice work for not felling good mate ,what shaft are you using for the review and greetings from orlando Florida
Can you please do a comparison to the G410 and then to Sim, Mavrik cheers
I like Ping but haven’t been excited by the look of their drivers since the G30 this one looks nice 🤗
Love the look of these. I WILL be upgrading when available.
Still with you brother.
Great video! And thinking I will be looking into that LST driver!
I will tell them you referred me to Ping!
Thanks brother. Always look forward to your videos my man!
I ordered a G410 about a month ago, this blow it out of the water or is it just a refresh in your opinion? Great vid as usual!
I have the 410 so forgiving and straight, great drivers I am a Ping convert
Afternoon Al, is there much difference from the G400 max and G410 +?
Got a SFT and it's great!
Still with you
Test them against the 410, I was fitted on Friday for the 410 plus, 425 not out in the UK until next year?
what shaft were you using, Al?
It was a mitsubishi tensie orange from the looks mate
Great video Al! Awesome driver set.
Thanks mate!!
Currently in the market for a shaft for my G410 but looks like I'll be waiting for these to launch
Hi Alex. Honest opinion? Is this G425 any better than the G410?
At least these 425s don’t have the word ‘Turblators’ printed on them, Al. You need to acknowledge the small victories.
What are the weights of rear tungsten replacement weights available for changing swing weight due lighter/heavier shafts and grip weights?
How's this LST compare to the G400? May have to look into that
so based on your performance. is it better for you to use 9 deg or 10.5 deg??
another tremendous video as only you can do, Al!
Thanks as always mate
what driver would you chose to compare it to a Cobra Max Speedzone? Not terribly a fan of a big club head.
Need to wait for 3 hours. Want it now💪👌😘
I am a high HC player, struggling with slicing with Driver (actually not just driver, but with fairway Wood as well but they are not as bad as Driver..) I have a huge interest on those new Ping G425 models and which one would be recommended for the player like me.
Been enjoying your content lately :)
Was actually surprised to see the 'lst' be a low spin driver even with the weight system in the back :/ testament to the club designers at Pings!
Ping wouldn't buy just because of the noise (love my F9) but wow 2020 drivers are crazy good and Ping is right there with the best!
P.s gotta love that they can offer you a low spin driver that still has such great forgiveness!
Thanks so much, George!
Hey Al, great video as always, I’m after a bit of advice. I’m a draw player as well (sometimes a blocker), I have a Callaway Rogue and I’d like to upgrade. Any ideas on a good replacement. My driver speed is more around 100 - 105 mph, wish I could bloody hit it like you mate. Doesn’t have to be Ping either.
When he says “LaSuhTuh” 😂😂
not a Ping fan but those drivers look to perform well. I bet I can still slice that SFT driver though.
went to a Ping fitting a while back to test the new drivers against my G20.
The rep looked at all the numbers and told me to save my $400 and keep hitting the G20.
@@mattbecham3094 LOL
Quick question do you know if the standard shaft sc55grams is still 1\2in longer , as I had ordered the g410 lst with it and have been told by ping that its no longer avabile so will be ordering the new 425 lst and need the shaft 1/2 longer? Cheers mate
My g400 max hosel cracked. Back at Ping. Been waiting for this driver to be released. Ping usually just replace the driver. I didn’t like the g410 so hopefully they will replace with this Max. Somehow I doubt it. Al. When is the release date? Are you getting the new irons to test as well. Hi from rainy Scotland.
My wife's G400 hosel broke, they sent a new G400 back, about 10 months ago, but the G410's were out then.
Paul Milsom received new one yesterday
@@gordon4761 G400?
Paul Milsom g400 max
I just ordered a g410 is it worth waiting for these? Do you we have a release date?
Love the look of the Drivers and fairway woods / hybrids. But slightly disappointed with the look of the G425 irons. I was so hoping that they would look like a cross between the i500 and G710 irons.
They look ok, but just not what I was hoping for...
Are there any drivers as forgiving and straight as ping that dont sound like a batting cage?
So 425LST vs 410LST? does the 425 feel any better?
Thinking on switching to mizuno. I’m a ping user but find that I’m inconsistent with them on the course.
Thanks for the explanation Alex..
Hey, I think I lost my ping g425 lst driver but it looks like you found it, I will gladly pay shipping to get it back lol. Great video. I’m highly jealous
They look awesome. It’s a shame that we probably won’t see them in the U.K. until after New Years! Booking my flight to Japan tomorrow!! 😂😂😂
Nicest looking driver I've seen. I prefer mat finish and don't like colors on the bottom.
