    I’m Alex Etches, a golf professional and golf UA-camr. 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 golf reviews, golf vlogs and many other 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!

    One more club I don’t need to be curious about. Thanks! I was going to buy a paradym(pre-orders are this Friday). And yep, I watched your vid on it. But it was just killing me with a $599 price tag. So I just grabbed a like new rogue st max ls on Callaway pre-owned for under $320 shipped. Thanks again for your reviews, you made my decision a lot easier. I just don’t see a new club that’s worth $600-$750 (for me at my level) when I can just get the rogue for half the price. I’ll spend $750 when there’s some crazy tech that’s a game changer…or when I get to that play level.

      I see people spend more money buying a driver because it’s “cheaper” over the course of a few years. If you get properly fit for a driver, the cost can be offset because you’ll be set for 3+ years (most likely more).

    Out of all the reviews I’ve watched I can say Alex that you were getting the most out of the stealth 2 it sounded so powerful when you hit it that ball flight was like a missile. Players with fast ball speeds get the most out of taylormade drivers and that’s why a lot of people couldn’t hit the original stealth

    I had the stealth plus and the face started to peel or crack.
    Taylormade sent me a new stealth 2 plus head and it does seem to go more forward with less fade and lower spin. I do like it so far. Only 1 round in but drove 2 par 4s in my 1st round. Hit 2 balls on certain holes as long as i have ever hit on those 2 particular holes.
