I love rife putters. I have an Antigua and a Two-bar hybrid. I've only used the Antigua in anger so far (the two-bar hybrid I got a cracking deal on, and bought to try given that it's a favourite of many people). I putt like a dream with it (compared to how things were going before).

I don't really fancy the idea of the IMO, personally.......but you know the deal - it's all personal. Get one in your hands and see how it works for you.

I do know that you wont be dissappointed with the quality, finish, and feel of a Rife putter.

In the bag:

Driver: 975D 10.5° True Temper EI-70 Stiff (Alternate 8.5° Titleist Stiff Graphite Shaft)
Fairway Woods: 975F (2 From) 14.5°, 18.5° True Temper EI-70 Stiff, 20.5° Titleist Stiff Graphite Shaft

I purchased the Rife IMO a couple of weeks ago and have played about 4 rounds with it. I also put a winn excel avs jumbo grip on the putter. Not sure if it is the putter or the grip, but the combination is most definitely helping my putting:
- The ball gets rolling quickly and rolls true
- I rarely push or pull the ball (a big problem for me in the past).
Bottom line is that I am now making a LOT more 3-6 ft. putts and my confidence is up dramatically. I now think I have a good chance of making any put within about 15 ft.

Its a very nice club. Before i bought my cleveland putter, i got to try it out and it felt great. The way it picked off the club was amazing. Unfortunately i got a kick ass deal with my current putter so i bought that.

rife putter is seriously a sleeper brand putter.
In my Warbird Hot Stand Bag:

i have a two bar rife putter. i like it. i can live without it though. anything say 6 to 15 feet it is dead on. an occasional pull probably but that can be corrected. our course has several pin positions that require a putt that will break a foot or better on a three to four foot length. very touchy putt. with this putter i have no feel for delicate big swingers, right or left.

for me it is a putter that is very solid but with very little feel for the delicate putts.

    • Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there. 
    • Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.
