Alex also drops game-changing tips on:

sorry man, can 't watch any longer because of the image erratic and not stabilized moves…very annoying and upsetting after a while
Love the video!! The Bal.on link doesn't seem to be working though. I would've loved to see the tech in use. It appears the app is only available for iOS. No android app.
Thanks for the new chipping game. What does Alex and his caddy play for???
Dude, every time I click the link it makes me open the app and it will not send me to an Impact screen. Can you put a description of your impact screen so I can just search it? Might be happening to others too. Thank you for the video.
Trying a new series format! Who should we have on next? Let me know below.👇
