@@alexetchesgolf I got that as I watched the video to the end like a warrior. I thought it was more complicated than that lol. Keep up the good work bud.
This may have been your best intro. Thanks for not being a golf snob. I know you don't like it, but it should still go on the wall. Just for the intro alone. I think I would pick the glass driver, although I wouldn't be able to hit it very far.
I find it amazing that Alex is able to keep the drives from these weird clubs in bounds, in a reasonable area of disperssion; and he has the endurance and strenght to hit so many stikes over and over under control. Fun channel and my thanks to Alex for posting.
This video made me subscribed to you channel! I love the idea of showing neat different things even if they make no sense. I love it!!! Please keep doing more and I will be sure to watch all the other ones.
Not even going to lie... That was the funniest video I've seen in a long time 😂 The intro and the part about your fiancee 😂 Had to rewind and rewatch both those parts like 4 times each 👌 Love it!
I'm surprised there were no Rod Stewart hits on the video playlist... But the intro was top notch. Also I have a feeling a different shaft will share the same sentiments as the glove...GET ME OUT OF THIS HEAD! Great start to the morning Al... And Happy New Year!
Pow. I did some homework on the hammer because I got one from a friend and apparently for best results you have to tee it up high. Still i think you probably maxed out the clubs potential. Best intro ever.
Hilarious, as an engineering student on golf team member we did a video similar to this one time. We thought the shaft was the dumbest thing ever cause you rotate it in your swing essentially creating more drag if it isn't at neutral degrees to "cut the wind!!!!!" lol
I have never stepped foot on a golf course, but I really enjoy your videos with these odd & crazy infomercial drivers. It is a really entertaining series. I can't wait to see what the Hammer 🔨 can do with a good modern shaft, I sincerely hope it ends up out driving whatever is currently in your bag, that would be hilarious with as much disdain as you seem to have for the 🔨! The 🔨 is a great name lol!!!
Love it! HAMMER TIME! I was hoping you would review this club. I remember watching those commercials and curious how good this driver really was. There is another driver that had holes that went thru the driver head to help with air flow. Would love to see that reviewed. POW!
What do you attribute your crazy swing speed to? I mean obviously you’re and athletic strong dude, but is there anything you do in particular to hit 125?
Happy New Year man, loved the vid. I remember when those came out and how corny the advert was for them. Never hit one tho and to be honest looking at the head shape would probably give me vertigo. Salute from south Gaaawgia USA. Oh yea and POW
BEST INTRO EVER! Thanks for bring your brand of humor to the site and reviews. Makes it the the most anticipated videos of the day! Well done Lad.. #SOYOURETELLINGMETHERESSTILLACHANCE
Boooooom! Pooooooow! Honestly though that hammer is old tech compared to what we are using now. Can you pick up a driver from the same time it initially came out and do a compare? Take an old driver from 2000s and compare
Alex.......... I remember a Hammer Driver that wasn't USGA approved. It had 5 holes in the face that fed into 1 exhaust hole. Kind of like a jet engine. I thought, what a great idea. Maybe you can find one and review it for grins. It might even whistle, depending on swing speed. Just curious. Trying to feed your nut case.
LMAO. The Intro was BRILLIANT! However; As a child of the late 70's, this brought back so many suppressed memories that i'm now going to have to spend this years membership coin on a therapist to work on re-suppressing the re-surfaced memories. In the voice of Peggy Bundy - "Thanks Aaaaaaaallllll"!
Funny stuff! The fact that you were able to hit it so far seems to suggest that strike is still king, regardless of tech and marketing. I'd love to see you hit one of the old killer bee drivers they used to advertise on tv. I think they had one that was 48" long.
POW. That wig reminds me of me back in the 80's. I bet you and missus have some very intellectual conversations at the dinner table. You are a laugh a minute. Great stuff.
Ok first POW ( may as well put you through another shameless hammer video lol !! After that intro I looked up the Hammer info commercial ! Hmm golf science it said , aerospace shaft it said . I need a refund on that part of my life lol. On a serious note you are helping a lot of people with a major problem ! These gimmick drivers are just that !! Love the light hearted way you have addressed it and always look forward to your videos . Cant wait to see you have to use your shaft on the Hammer X !!!
BigAl at his Crazy Best!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣 PS you should do some more of your vids wearing that wig, it really enhances the stature and gravitas of your channel.......honest lol
Go back and look up George Bayer, the PGA professional who drove pin high (downwind) on a par 5 in a tournament on tour. Read that somewhere.... Wish I could have seen that myself actually
Should test it vs top of the line drivers from when it was introduced since that’s what the +50y claim was against. Will it gain 50 over those? Probably not lol, but it would be a more accurate comparison for their claim
The real world record drive is STILL held by Mike Austin...hit 515 yards in an actual sanctioned event and recognized by pretty much everyone! He did this with 70’s era tech. BTW...”BOOM BABY” is PXG. 😂. Jack Hamm is POW!!! What a marketing genius he was.
Amazing video. Seeing you jump is a bit confusing. Given the power in your golf swing I was honestly expecting more verticals. Thanks for another fantastic video!
Big Al, i dont think its a "quirky driver" but your first minute reminds me of the adverts on QVC " slazenger K1 Speed driver" would be a good to see if it was ever any good
As has been pointed out, at impact, shouting the word "POW" at over 80 decibels creates the sympathetic resonance on the club face that activates extra spring-effect. Simple science. ;)
Hilarious video Al! Loved it, laughed along with it, and had my own Hammer-roid back in the day! Probably still in the pond where I left it, maybe I'll go fishing :-)
We're all laughing and joking but did anyone actually realise what happened at the end?! I know, I still can't believe it either!
I need you to take back that apology now. I can't accept it. You did nothing wrong
Apart from changing gloves and finding 10 yards I'm struggling Al. What you talkin' bout Willis?
Is it the fact you got over 300m with it? If so it definitely deserves a spot on the wall of wierd lol!
Paul Brown the fact that it made it?! On the wall

Al you are a legend! Definitely my favourite golf TH-cam channel along with golf vlogs UK. Keep it up mate.
Thanks mate 🙏 appreciate that
I own that club. Yelling boom is the most enjoyable thing about playing it.
This commercial was so hilarious when it came out and still is... your edited version was the icing
Pow. I did some homework on the hammer because I got one from a friend and apparently for best results you have to tee it up high. Still i think you probably maxed out the clubs potential. Best intro ever.
I have tried one it definatly goes further when you tee the ball high over the face for some strange reason
Love it your best yet well done Al
Just an unreal video ! One of the best I've seen for a while
Thank you sir, awesome and hilarious video. I can see myself drinking a beer with you after 18 rounds.
Just found your channel and has to watch this! You are one committed dude to continue that pain! You deserve a beer! Well done!

Thanks so much, Jonathan. It means ever so much! And I’ll certainly do that!
I found your channel yesterday and I can already tell it’s gonna blow up, you’re hilarious
This is the golf content I am here for! That is going to be tough to beat in 2020. Team ALLLLLLLLLL!
Al, that was the best minute intro of golf I have ever seen. Ever. Well done!!
Played a Power Pod back in the day. Was effective taking away a slice. Saw parts of courses I had not experienced before.
And I thought the original infomercial was hilarious. Excellent job Al!😂

By the way, great 4am start to my workday, thanks Alex.
HAHA! You're welcome mate

Hahahaha that toppy @ 0.23 with the ‘WHOA BABYYYY!’
We've got a winner! Best golf segment currently on TH-cam!!
Very kind!

Well done Lad..
#SOYOURETELLINGMETHERESSTILLACHANCE
Pow
I watched the first minute about 8 times already, best intro ever
Haha! Thanks mate
I laughed way too much at this video 🤣🤣
I'm sorry! haha
I waited patiently since you announced this video yesterday. The intro is hilarious.
Boooooom! Pooooooow!
Honestly though that hammer is old tech compared to what we are using now. Can you pick up a driver from the same time it initially came out and do a compare? Take an old driver from 2000s and compare
I think I'd take the POD as you created with the upgraded shaft. (SuperPod? PodZilla?) Are any of them legal?
Haha! I don't think many are to be honest. Think the POD is

Question? Your comparing this driver against your driver which is the newest technology so what year did the Hammer driver come out?
You’re missing the point to this video
Curious to see what would happen if you put a good shaft on it, I thought that shaft created drag when I first saw the club way back when.
Good job AL that video is hilarious! Horrific golf club but hilarious job.
Hahaha that is by far the funniest vid you have done in ages lad 🤣🤣🤣
Only 1?
Gotta be the POD! Nothing like hitting the ball with a cow hoof.
You should try to find the old 1995 Wilson firestick drive John Daly made famous. Both regular and graphite insert head.
Alex: wu baby!
Ball: tops it and it only goes 10 yards
Just looked up the original infomercial on TH-cam. It is hilarious as is Alex's take-off of it.
Chris Lewis hahaha!
POW. That wig reminds me of me back in the 80's. I bet you and missus have some very intellectual conversations at the dinner table. You are a laugh a minute. Great stuff.
That into was hilarious 😂
Haha! Thanks mate
Every video should have to start with that kind of retro video montage. 😂🦘
Best one yet, you are a legend!!!
Alex, could you please see if you can get the Cleveland VAS irons.
Best video on TH-cam! 2020 completed haha
Pow, I was waiting for the Batman, pow , wham , to flash up . Love these. So much fun.
POW!!!!! I think I'm going to start screaming BOOM after all my drives, it might really help my game. Great intro btw. POOOOWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok first POW ( may as well put you through another shameless hammer video lol !! After that intro I looked up the Hammer info commercial ! Hmm golf science it said , aerospace shaft it said .

Always want the POW! But only if you're wearing that topper. I think Liam did the other Hammer a few days ago, but he was not doing REAL testing.
Dude I I love your content! You make me laugh. Love this stuff
golf equipment videos just don't get better than this
BigAl at his Crazy Best!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
PS you should do some more of your vids wearing that wig, it really enhances the stature and gravitas of your channel.......honest lol
Dude this was the funniest video I seen all year .....
He almost looked a like a mix of rick flair and John daily haha 😂
I was feeling down this morning till I watched this video.🤣🤣🤣
Al......clearly you DON'T have enough clubhead speed for this club to reach its potential! Haha! Thanks for all the laughs.
yeah, maybe the best golf review vid ever. You inspire me sir
This was a riot, and your best one yet! That intro man, that intro. :)
Go back and look up George Bayer, the PGA professional who drove pin high (downwind) on a par 5 in a tournament on tour. Read that somewhere....
Wish I could have seen that myself actually
When did Laura Davies start doing cameos on your channel? Great video, couldn’t stop laughing. Keep it up Alex.
Should test it vs top of the line drivers from when it was introduced since that’s what the +50y claim was against.
Will it gain 50 over those? Probably not lol, but it would be a more accurate comparison for their claim
Greatest Golf Intro ever
dude ur insane im bout to watch all ur vids in one day lol
Yessssss! Thor's Hammer baby..POW awesome job Alex!
Absolutely brilliant Al 👍
Yup. This is a perfect video.
Very kind!
The real world record drive is STILL held by Mike Austin...hit 515 yards in an actual sanctioned event and recognized by pretty much everyone! He did this with 70’s era tech.

Amazing video. Seeing you jump is a bit confusing. Given the power in your golf swing I was honestly expecting more verticals. Thanks for another fantastic video!
I have about as much spring as the UK does!
I can’t jump either. But if I swung a golf club as fast as you do my back would disintegrate and my hip would explode.
Big Al, i dont think its a "quirky driver" but your first minute reminds me of the adverts on QVC " slazenger K1 Speed driver" would be a good to see if it was ever any good
Sonnycheese hahaha! I’ll find it
As has been pointed out, at impact, shouting the word "POW" at over 80 decibels creates the sympathetic resonance on the club face that activates extra spring-effect. Simple science. ;)
This club forever will be a legend
Had a good laugh! Really enjoyed watching this video!!
I laughed so hard, had to watch the intro again.
dude...lmao! you verified that this driver is as much of cartoon as the television commercial ad.
Can you do a course vlog with all these outer bounds clubs? See how you fair with the odd clubs
Absolutely!
love the vids! the set is incredible!!
Hilarious video Al! Loved it, laughed along with it, and had my own Hammer-roid back in the day! Probably still in the pond where I left it, maybe I'll go fishing :-)
hahahahahaha that intro is priceless. Love it mate!! Top video too!
Haha thanks legend 🙏
This was the funniest review I've ever seen. That Rupaul line had me laughing for a while.
looks like a putter had a 1 night stand with an old driver
Insane vid mate, cannot believe you got that thing over 300m !
Pal,you just have become a legend!
love the intro!, is that at the quarry at joondalup?
It’s the Lakes haha
@@alexetchesgolf Dam it !!,I thought I guessed it, Anyway great Vid, keep it up!
I had the hybrid in my bag very briefly. It's out now. A wood at that angle works better for me
I can't count the number of times I laughed my butt off watching that infomercial behind the pro shop counter when I was a kid...
Glass for sure. I love that head cover!
HAHA! yesssssss
Definitely want to see it re-shafted with your shaft!
You, Sir, are a Dude amongst Men🤣🤣👏
Should have got the line "you cant touch this" in there somewhere..
POW!!!
I think this is know as suffering for your sport! and we are suffering!! great video as always Al
HAHA!
#TeamAl!!! You’ve outdone yourself!
LMFAO!!! You looked like a well dressed Guy Fieri!!
He needs to put hair gel on the wig so the hair will stand straight up...then he'll look like Guy Fieri!😂😂😂😂😂
Whatever you do the rest of 2020 don't lose the wig. Laughed my pants off!
Awesome video!!!! Maybe u should try liquidmetal driver next👍
Fantastic. You should apply for an infomercial job.
Did you top that shot at 0:23?🤭
That was the whole idea HAHA!
