I am 14 and have been playing tour edge xcg4s but looking for something a little less bulky. I shoot around 84-88 and my best is 79. I liked ap1s more than ap2s when I hit them but the 2s felt lighter... I only took a few swings with each so I'm still not sure, so my question is are ap1s extreme game improvement and appear chunky and huge at address or are they a smaller cavity back choice for a mid handicapper.

Purchase what feels and plays best for you and don't worry about what others think.

Of course, if you care to read about others who have thought through this crucial distinction on the sandrap...well, here's a link for you... http://thesandtrap.com/t/45096/liked-ap1-better-than-ap2/0_50

Hope it helps.

One of my playing partners has AP1's vs. my AP2's.  Easier to hit?  Yes, likely so.  Prettier to look down at?  No.  Decidedly so.

Mishits don't hurt with the '1's, while toed and thin shots (especially if it is under 40* out!!) will make your wrists tingle with the '2's.  BUT-  Hit one well with the '2's and you will walk taller and more confidently for a couple holes.  You can just feel perfection when the ball is struck well.

Get the AP2's.  I predict you will love them.

ps-  We play a lot together and swing each other's clubs for the hell of it at the range or on the course, etc...  There is likely minimal performance difference at my skill level with either set of clubs, but I certainly like looking down at the AP2's more.  my $0.02 opinion.  Pay me later-

    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.
