This seems like a nifty little putter but I've never seen anyone use them to my knowledge. Why is that? If anyone has APX knowledge, drop it here.

AP stands for "approach & putt." X stands for "we are going to put an 'X' on it so it will sound cool."What does APX stand for? What do the rims of these things look like?
Hmmm...I'm no expert, I just pretend to be one on the Internet, BUT...to me the APX and Magnet were a lot different in flight. The Magnet is one of those freaky discs that you can get to turn easily but still has a ton of fade, so it acts understable AND overstable. The Cyclone and Eagle are like that as well. As I recall the APX had very little fade and a bunch of glide as compared to the Magnet. I preferred the Magnet because, well, because I suck and the Magnet will fade and drop when you miss. The APX just keeps going, and going, and going...The difference between the apx and magnet is essentially moot.
This is exactly why my friend uses the APX. But then again, he also throws Comets very well, so I guess saying he's a finesse player is a bit of an understatement.As I recall the APX had very little fade and a bunch of glide as compared to the Magnet...The APX just keeps going, and going, and going...That being said, the guys that I remember putting with the APX used to drain hellaciously long putts with them. You have to finesse it a bit, it will flip if you torque-monkey it. But if you have the skills, it can be a deadly long-range putter. It's long and straight.
I think it was just a different type of plastic that made them a bit softer and/or tackier and has now gone OOP, so the people that liked it back then are now having a hard time finding them. Kind of like how some people swear by the older KC and CE plastics.Anyone know why the swirls are so special?

Actually, almost that whole generation of Discraft discs had X's in the title...X2, XL, MRX, APX, Xtra, Xtreme, XS, Xpress...it was Discraft's Generation X. I'm not sure how they slipped the MRV in there.
It's been a long time since I saw one, but as I recall it looked like a Magnet with a bead.
I live just a couple miles from Detroit. Bet we play the same courses.

Also, what's up Michigan? :hfive:
sleepy
I was going to get some, then i got gateway putters because i couldent find any. Then my brother lost his magnet so we went to a liquor store by the course that sells discs, and they had 2 soft APX's :|
Will do. I actually live in Berkley, but figured I'd put Detroit in the location box since nobody outside of MI knows where Berkley is. Hell, most people inside of Michigan don't know where Berkley is...when meeting new people I get asked all the time how I like California.I live just a couple miles from Detroit.
