Further to seeing a signature of a fellow member I noticed that they used a 'Mr Beasley' Rife Putter. Kym Beasley was a prominent Australian politician who cast a fair sized shadow due to his girth. After looking up the website I noticed that the putter had a decent size to it also.

Can anyone tell me the connection with Oz? It doesn't appear to have an Australian backstory aside from the sponsorship of Ian Baker-Finch.

Email Rife and they will get back to you quick. Nice group of folks. Awesome putters too! My Scotty newport II, Ody 2 Ball, and Bettinardi are destined to closet duty. These Rife putters are the real deal. I like a traditional style, so I got the Antigua, but all Rifes have the patented "roll groove" face technology. Best putter I have ever used.

Thanks Danattherock, will do. Even tempted to try one out given all the good words around the forum!

It is more than hype I assure you. These Rife putters are the bee's knees man. I absolutely love my Rife Antigua. Just got a UST frequency matched shaft and IOMIC midsize grip in the mail for it. I am mailing it out in the morning and a guy (Kevin Colbert of www.putterplating.com ) is putting a high polish on the stainless 304 head, doing red paint fill, engraving a "V" line on the top for alignment, installing the new shaft, and putting the Iomic grip on it. I can't wait to get this baby back. Two weeks is a long time to go without it, but it should be worth it. My dealings with the company have been nothing short of spectacular. Emails answered in hours and such. Just a great group of guys. I prefer the Antigua or Aussie versions, but many folks are gaming the big boys and mallets and loving them. The "roll face" technology is what seperates these putters from others and all Rife's have this roll face groove technology. Puts the prettiest top spin on the ball you could imagine and the result is a ball that tracks just where you putt it. No skidding and bouncing before a true end over end roll is established. This ball leaves the putter face rolling with topspin. The difference it makes is staggering. I make 5 footers now the way I used to look at 3 footers. No BS.

I have a Rife 2-Bar blade and like it a lot...soft feel, smooth roll...inspires putting confidence for me...

i just bought a Mr. Beasley...I could care less about the origins of the name, all I know is it feels amazings...no longer do i suffer from pushes and pulls

in my bag:

Driver: '08 Cobra F Speed LD 10.5 w/UST Proforce V2 Tour Flight stiff

Hybrid: Nickent 3dx 3H
Irons: Nike CCI forged 4-pw Wedges: Nike Victory Red 52 56 60 Putter: Rife Mr. Beasley Balls: Bridgestone B330-RX Tees: epoch


After going through several putters, I landed on the Rife Antigua, and it has absolutely killed the putter ho virus I was dealing with. That thing looks great, and rolls the ball like nobody's business. I can't see anything knocking it out of my bag at all.

In my Costco stand bag:

A friend just bought a Rife Hybrid 2 Bar Mallet today, and I gave it a try. Very smooth feeling, beautiful roll on the ball and I just loved it. I think I will consider a Rife putter next time I buy a putter.
