My experience with the grips is that there is little notable difference in the multicompound grips, while the Z-grips are noticeably worse than those that came with my clubs and have less cord incorporated in them. That said, the Z-grips are perfectly playeable and last well given the price.
Enjoying these videos Gary but please put the links in the description for the items you are reviewing as it will help people go straight to the item - Cheers
I like these videos where you can get things cheaper than from a store. If they work well then why not, maybe you should buy a driver and a set of irons 2nds) and try them next to a real set that Robbos got in his garage, would be interesting. Keep up the good work.
Apparently the golf irons or some of them are supposed to be not too bad 🤔..🎊🌟🤩🥳 Actually,a friend of mine got a complete carbon frame bike with top class ancillaries for a third of what he would have paid in UK and after 18 mths he says he still loves it and everything is bearing up as expected!!!!... must admit for some products it gets you thinking 🤔🤔
I've bought the grips Golf Pride various models and all are perfect, my local prices are very very expensive, it cost me 25% of the cost and was delivered to my door in under 2 weeks. I've bought Jumbo putter grips and they are perfect. Also a range finder for a fraction of local costs, works great for cost, not as good as a top brand but its also 20% of price and works well. Point shoot the range in 2 seconds easy, rechargeable battery lasts ages.... I read the reviews make sure I buy from sellers who have volumes and good feedback. Not sure I would spring for golf clubs yet, but I sense in time I will find a good seller and I'll be in for sure.
@@richarddevey2449 I checked the store is now closed, I've bought from a previous store it also closed a year latter. I just search for a current store and make sure it has some good reviews and has sold a fair quantity. I've purchased maybe 3 or times all been A+. 1 Grip here in NZ is $30 I bought 13 for $64 landed at my door in 10 days...... same same ! in every way.
I love how you're blatantly promoting counterfeit products and don't give a flying f*. Lol. Other content creators (especially in the world of golf) would be inclined to frown upon this sort of thing. Also, I appreciate your honesty in the videos comparing the counterfeits to the genuine ones. I know not to buy irons / wedges, but headcovers and grips are good.
I have been buying of Aliexpress for years, gets to spain in about 6 -10 days, quality sometimes rubbish but mostly good, because it comes from the same factory that the OEM uses...
I sense that you guys are using subjective terms with your inner bias. Personally, I don't like the idea of sending my money to China. But then again, the stuff I buy from local golf store mostly have 'made in china' so is my guilt genuine? I mean, I can either buy the exact same product directly from AliExpress, Temu or other chinese companies or I can pay local golf stores with their mark up. The putter cover I bought from AliExpress was under $8 + delivery of ~$4. That exact same putter cover is listed for $44.99. I consider myself as a patriot, but I also don't like over paying for anything.
I just don't feel good about buying stuff that's likely to be fake Personally, ordering direct is my preference, just because stuff like this exists. Can't trust eBay or the second hand market even. I remember even James fell for a fake Scotty putter, and he's been in golf as long as you
I personally have never purposely bought fakes, but I just thought it was a good opportunity to give people an unbiased unboxing, as I know first hand, temu and Ali express are paying people to give bias reviews.
Interested in the ball balancing machine that finds the balance of golf balls. I have tried these machines from Amazon but found the ball never returned to its previous balance point. Also the lines are not always easy to get a perfect line on the ball its depends on how much or little pressure when using the pen to draw a line.
I would definitely give the Scotty matador grip a go and some of the training aids from Ali express and Temu, shame the drivers are a bit too much in price because it would be interesting to see how they perform and last. Great series this Gaz
Would that wedge work on the left for chipping? My missus keeps playing off the back foot. I bought a great watch from Ali express. Made of quality parts.
You mean, she keeps hitting the ball with all her weight on her back leg? If so, yes, I’m sure this would help her get a feeling of not putting pressure through her back foot / leg
@@garymartingolf yes exactly that. She needs some chipping lessons. Whenever I talk her through it, she tries it once and expects it to work first time. Plus she doesn’t bother with a practice swing, never mind any proper practice 😱😱
Gaz love these videos, keep them comin. Would love to see a golf ball review on what you can get. The Supur NEWNING balls on Ali express look just like your reponse stripe😂
Ali Express is Ali Barber and is Jack Mar the Chinese Billionaires company and is much older than TEMU. I've just come back from 5 years in China. Gaz your videos kept me sane when I was in China . Thanks Johnny Australia
@garymartingolf can you do a review on the shaft adapter tips, i have used a few on aftermarket shafts and would love to know if the settings are the same as a real one?
The big rip off is from the golf industry that charges too much for .... rubber and stuff. I bought a set of Calong blade golf clubs and I love them. If you want to try and get something that isn't branded with a Big name. Excellent clubs, and I'd like to see what you guys can figure out about them.
I had a massive sway when I first started out. I made a foot wedge out of wood. Wish there was something like that way back then. As you say great for teaching
It’s not so much how cheap this stuff is, it is how ridiculously and obscenely expensive the real stuff is. A real Scotty headcover £70+ ? £40 for a Scotty putter grip ?
I gamed them for a time and noticed the spin to be ok but I think I lost some distance. Anyway hope you can test them, I don't think there's a video of them anywhere.
@@garymartingolf, not a UK recident. But have used plowing stakes as alignment sticks. They cost like 10 €/5 and I can sell the rest for 10 € each to fellow golfers… Instead of having all you need bought from a golfstore 150% over prized, using your brain is allowed.
I was introduced to Ali Express by a mate in Spain. Since then, I've bought loads of stuff from them and never been disappointed. They do a gigantic number of clubs at silly prices. I was looking at the Scotty Cameron Phantom X12 putters, which they sell for less than £140 and look amazing. I was thinking of trying one to see how it feels compared to the real thing.
I saw some of this stuff first hand with Gaz today... The quality of the Circle T cover was very good...actually it was all (that I saw/felt) decent, not the tack that we used to see coming from the Far East. Shafts and club heads may differ but that putter cover is a fifth of what I paid for a handmade one...I'm willing to bet five of them will see out my one bespoke item, so which is the best value 🤔🤔🤔
Would love to see what state they are like after 15 rounds of winter golf. To see if they are starting to fall apart, but as they say, if its looks too cheap, it's normally is.

Always spending on dodgy sites lol
It’s for a good cause 😅

ALI EXPRESS VS TAYLORMADE 😂
That would be great, but me and the wife have a saying "buy cheap buy twice" but it would be great if Ali express came out on top.😁

They have flash offers, as soon as any fake hardware becomes available at a silly price, I’ll get some to test ⛳️
Stuff looks reasonable quality, cheap price.
I’ve played with a few who have a different kind of “foot wedge” 😂
Ahahah 🤣😂

I’ve never used one before at all, I’d heard of them, but it was only due to the price I thought, well why not? People can afford this if it works.

What was it like ? Was it crap or does it look okay ?

Thanks for pointing out great deals on accessories. Don’t think I would purchase clubs from these sites but he fake 425 max does look interesting.
Don’t buy any clubs without a unbiased review. You won’t have to wait much longer 🤟🏼
Funny the Scotty Cameron Putter cover says made in the USA😅🤣😂
Lol 😆
Yea, they put out all the stops on making sure you get "real" thing. LOL
Now this is going to get interesting 😶
Won’t be long before Mrs Martin arrives via post lol
Ahahah 🤣😂 They have a great range of items 😉
What do you suppose packaging and postage is on something like that?
Gary, do you have to pay import duty or VAT on stuff from AliExpress?
I’ve not had too any any orders so far, from what I’ve read, Ali express charge us tax and they pay it.
Ali Express is Ali Barber and is Jack Mar the Chinese Billionaires company and is much older than TEMU. I've just come back from 5 years in China. Gaz your videos kept me sane when I was in China .
Thanks Johnny Australia
Cheers Johnny. Thanks for watching. Sounds like you’re happy to be back 🤟🏼
@garymartingolf can you do a review on the shaft adapter tips, i have used a few on aftermarket shafts and would love to know if the settings are the same as a real one?
Do you mean compare driver tips off Ali express Vs real?
@@garymartingolf yes mate, I have bought a few adapters to fit on real heads and shafts but I'm not convinced the settings are the same?

Hi Gaz will u buy any clubs from either site to see the quality and performance of said clubs ?
The first video is coming next week 🤟🏼
It’s not so much how cheap this stuff is, it is how ridiculously and obscenely expensive the real stuff is. A real Scotty headcover £70+ ? £40 for a Scotty putter grip ?
People questioning why I’m exploring the fake market, your answers there.
Cheap golf! Now this is what I like! Please test PGM 3pc golf balls next.
I gamed them for a time and noticed the spin to be ok but I think I lost some distance. Anyway hope you can test them, I don't think there's a video of them anywhere.
Tent stakes would serve as alinment sticks really well.
Are you from Lancashire by any chance 😅

I think If they ever had a flash offer I might get some to test, but it’s still abit strap at £140
£140 for a fake putter is ludicrous. Probably worth £10 haha.

Overmakes ?
I’m not going to lie, being in the industry, I’m 99% sure this isn’t the case, I’m 99% sure they’re fakes.
Would love to see what state they are like after 15 rounds of winter golf. To see if they are starting to fall apart, but as they say, if its looks too cheap, it's normally is.
Funny you say this… next Fridays video 👍🏼
A lot of these golf products are made in China so probably are 2nds
We assume they’re fake but it’s not something we know about to be honest.
Disappointing to see a golf professional showcasing fake or knock-off gear.
I think you’ve made a quick conclusion, maybe your opinion might change if you’re to watch the full series of videos which follow.
