I really like the look of the 2 bar cs mallet. Unfortunately I am not sure where to go to try one out. Looks like they might be mailorder only. Anyone have a problem with returning one of these during the try and buy period. I also noticed that they do the 4 "easy" payments.

not sure any payment is ever "easy", but it does make it easier to budget.

Golfsmith stocks them, if you are close to one, go try them out. I got a Rife Mr. Beasley last week, I like smaller, mallet style putters, and after 3 rounds, it is a great putter. I was not sure the groove technology on the face really worked, but it puts the smoothest roll on the ball you can imagine. The black finish Beasley was not in the Raleigh, NC store, so I ordered online, as it was marked down to 59.95, unreal deal. The 2 bars wre in stock here, along with several other models.

Rife putters are top shelf. I am working on Nantucket, Mass and found them in stock at a nearby Edwin Watts. I recommend this putter to anyone. I have the Rife Antigua and love it. Best putter I have ever used. My Scotty and 2 ball are in the closet:)

Aside from custom fitting, nothing has helped my game more. These putters are the real deal man.

Thanks. They apparently have them over at GolfGalaxy. Need to get over there and give them a go.

I have a Bimini Blade... The best roll on a ball bar none... however there is something screwy with the way it stares at me during setup so I had to shelve it. I have thought about buying a different style but I cant tell if they are all like this or just the model I had so I went back to my Bettinardi.

I own one of the original 2 bar putters. I bought it because I thought the ability to change the weights would help. Turns out I never changed the weights that came in it. I tell peole it is the only putter I ever owned where I wasn't looking for another one. Just to make me a liar I recently bought the Antigua because I wanted to try a blade style. I haven't used the mallet since. Very smooth feeling.

Loyalty above all else, except honor.

Only reason I'm considering moving away from my Mr. Beasley is because leo3 posted that Golfsmith is selling the Beasley in black for $60.... Great putter. Good weight. Very solid on pure strokes and the occasional mishit. Rolls very true.

This thread got me missing the true roll i would get on my rife... so I bought the aussie black yesterday... should be here in a few days... hopefully it sets up to my liking.

I am sure you will love this putter. Best golf money I have spent. Been through some nice putters, Scotty, 2 ball, Bettinardi, etc.. , but this Rife Antigua is just a different breed. Can't really explain it, you will soon find out

I posted this in another thread as well- my Rife Barbados is the best putter I've ever used. Lining up putts is super easy and the roll grooves give a great feel at contact. I love it

    • Day 4, 1/2/26.  Played 18 today;  didn't get a chance to warm up (had I known the range was closed, I'd have hit balls at home first).  Played okay, 92 with three balls in the water.  It was raining for more than half the round and I didn't quite appreciate before today just how much I benefit from roll on both drives and approach shots.  I did not adapt well to this change until about hole 15, which is something I have to figure out.  
    • Day 143 1-2 Arch wrist in downswing. Having a SLIGHT cup in the lead wrist at the top now. Only paused swings with some rehearsals before swinging at ball.  Used foam ball. 
    • Day 459 - 2026-01-02 Had two guys on GEARS Hybrid, so I hopped on afterward (I'm going to do this a lot more often now). So… I've signed myself up for another month of backswing work in two ways: A little more extension of the trail elbow (got into the upper 90s) Less pelvis turn (low 50s).
    • Day 31 (2 Jan 26) - Usual Friday men’s group shootout - good day of shot making  as most shots were right on line to the target point.  Putter and green reads were solid with some great par saves and a really tricky birdie.  
    • Day 13 - 2026-01-02 One hour short game work. Chipping balls to different targets, compass putting drill with 2-3% slope.
