My name is Gaz and I'm a Guerin Rife fan.

[gazgolf1]

I've owned a couple of Rife's now and I really think they are the best of the grooved face face putters on the market today. I know this will probably have Yes fans up in arms but IMO the quality finish of the Rife's shits all over Yes.
I'm currently gaming a Black heel shafted Barbados that I love and would easily put the 2bar hybrid in the bag after rolling Perci's recently. The big surprise that I have found is Rife's latest putter the 460 Tour Blade, seen here.

I rolled one of these at HOG the other day and came away impressed with the soft feel, nice balance and impressive finish of this putter, at around $150 the price was right too.
If you are looking for this shape putter check one of these out before shelling out the big bucks for a Scotty.

Damn cheap, that guy has some good prices, I bought my Bridgeys off him too 8)

[Jarro]

What about the Detour ?

[zacdullard]

I see Poulter used a Rife when he won on the weekend.

I like the look of this (http://cgi.ebay.com/Rife-2Bar-BIMINI-Blade-2009-Island-Series-Putter-34-NEW_W0QQitemZ180406576879QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGolf_C lubs?hash=item2a0111e6ef) one.

What do the grooves do?

Make it harder to clean and shorten the life of the putter.

[Hux]

Rife are exceptional value as putters.
I have two...an Aussie which is an Anser with the plumbers neck, and a centre shaft Barbados. The Barbados is my current gamer and works a treat. I find it great to align and have been putting well (for me) since I changed to it...that well I have had only had one 3 putt in two rounds!!!

If I find a IMO cheap enough I will buy one and game it.

I like this one:

I was trying to remember who gamed one that I had played with recently. After tomorrows game Hux, you may be a Lajosi fan.:)

[Hux]

Yeah I have been toying with the idea of a custom Scotty squareback but in a centre shaft........

Has Kari brought something special for me to play with?

Sold it ;), only joking I'm carving some grooves in the face.

Yes mate, pretty sure it was $150.

[BrisVegas]

that 460 Tour Blade looks alright. Mind you, all Anser style putters look pretty good IMO.

[Tongueboy]

like the bimini blade. very tasty

I set the sniper on one before the champs and got it cheap, then putted well on Sunday with the Rife Aussie and the need is no longer as urgent.

[gazgolf1]

I got this one,

hmmm, IMO 8)

[jd_FRANK]

I've got the Aussie and absolutely love it...I get such a good roll compared to anything else I have used and for some reason I can like it up nicely. It's not going anywhere for awhile (but perhaps ask me again in a couple of weeks just to make sure :) )

[Lucasto23]

Lucas did you grab one of these?
not yet, have to much gear that i need to off load first ;)

That looks sweet, what does it feel like

Softer than a Scotty, nice weight and balance. I'm quite impressed.

[Lucasto23]

we have to have a game soon so i can try it out ;)

[MegaWatty]

Still a lover Gaz?

[gazgolf1]

Nah I'm married......oh you mean the putter ;). I'm loving a TM Corza Ghost at the minute but still have a softspot for Rife, I'd happily still use a Barbados.

[simmsy]

used the Barbados today for the first time, 27 putts nuff said.

still love the Antigua.

i really should pay for the Barbados now. money on it's way.
