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.

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.

    • That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭
    • I've been Playing Golf for: 40 yrs My current handicap index or average score is: 4.0 factor My typical ball flight is: Straight however sometimes slight draw. The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: squirt to the right due to to much arm not enough turn.

    • The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
