Seriously, paint adding weight?? No sir. The red paint weighs exactly the same as the white paint which was removed when the putterhead was polished....

Not paint....but new finishes...you clearly are not affected being that you polished yours, but i'm reffering to the nickel / gold / silver / etc coated putters. I agree that painting a previously painted groove is not going to affect the putters.....

It's the indian, not the arrow! But it sure is nice to have good arrows!!!!!

I do too - especially since I threw on an oversized Winn AVS grip. Great combo. Doesn't feel the best -- and sounds awful -- but the putts go where they're supposed to.

this thread is exactly what i was looking for. tried out the Abaco last night and absolutely loved it. Came down to Scotty Cameron California Del Mar vs Rife Abaco...and both amazing putters, don't get me wrong. but for the price, the Abaco takes the cake any day.

Will be putting my Bettinardi BC1 on the sidelines for now...possibly even sell it.

My new Rife Bimini just came in. I love the way it lines up and feels. Already order a new grip and Im going to do some custom paint fill this weekend.

I play the Rife Hybrid 2 bar and really weighted it down. It rolls the ball awesome and I think I got much better feel after adding all the weight. By far the best putter I have ever laid my hands on!

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
