The 2010 version of the titliest AP1 has grooves conforming to the new USGA rule. Has anyone demoed these on the course or even bought them? If so do you notice a significant difference in the spin?

No offense to anyone but unless you're good enough to really know how to hit with spin and can control it you won't notice. The only difference you might notice is if your swing creates a lot of spin you probably won't see as much action.

There is somewhat of a difference in the regular irons. Like flyers. I never knew what a flyer truly was until i hit an 7 iron 190 yards last year when i started using the AP2's. It was ridiculous, i barley swung at the ball. The ball will also realese more for me out of the rough. So playing forced carry iron shots out of the rough is a little more tricky than they used to be. You just have to be a little more careful in reading your lies in the rough. From clean lies i havent noticed much of a difference at all in the what the ball does when it lands.

Last years AP1's ive seen being sold as low as 300 bucks. If you can get your hands on a new set around that price i would start digging through my couch or something, lol. They're really good clubs.

But last year's ap1 suck! I hit both the 2009 and 2010 side by side tonite at the course and there was no comparison. I will honestly wait and save up for the 2010.

      7 Wood

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      I tried hybrids way back when TaylorMade introduced the copper orange Firesole Rescue, the clubhead having been made of titanium which was still relatively new even in drivers back then. I couldn't hit it well at all, and while the success of hybrids suggests that the modern ones must be quite good,  I'm perfectly happy with the 5, 7, and 9-woods.  Early ones of mine were Top Flite Intimidator 400s made by Spalding... and also made of titanium, now that I think of it.  I still have them in my basement. I do bag a driving iron, but it's a one-trick-pony that never sees fairway use.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      The last time I played Maxfli balls, Dunlop was still making them. How long ago was that? Mostly, though, I used to play Top Flites (original 336 dimple model) when Spalding was still making them. Now I play the Pro V1x. Last time that I ordered some, Titleist was still making them. Let's see how long that lasts.

      My Favorite Putts

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      Once, on a course in Middleton, Massachusetts that I used to love but has since closed down,  I hit the wrong half of a huge, UK style double green.  Then I made the hundred foot putt.  Tough to  forget that one.

      Are you a Better Golfer than a Year Ago?

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      No. But if I can still play next year, I'll almost certainly be even worse. That's the reality of not being young.🙁
