I was sold a guerin rife Barbados mallet putter center shafted 34' for $50 from a doctor friend. I haven't read alot of reviews besides a few positives on the putter. I was wondering if anyone in this forums has this putter and I would appreciate your review and thoughts.

Whats in the Four 5?

I play the Rife Antigua and love it. I'm not generally a fan of mallet putters, but I tried out the Barbados in in the center shafted and heel shafted versions when I was looking at putters. I loved the center shafted Barbados. It really felt well balanced and smooth. It rolled the ball incredibly well, just like all the Island series putters. I didn't like the heel shafted version as much. It just didn't feel as good to me. I still prefer my Antigua putter, but if I was going to play a mallet style, it would hands down be the center shafted Barbados. They also make it in black, and that one is just dead sexy to look at too.

All that said though, putters are super subjective, and only you can say what's going to work best for you.

    • Day 211: putting work today on my mat. Worked on some feels to get my head to move less. Contact was improving.
    • Day 9: 2/15/2025 Spent several 5-10 minutes sessions today working on what I learned from Yoda yesterday. Pretty much a new priority piece. 
    • Day 25 (15 Feb 25) - A little background on today’s drill session.  On the way to band rehearsal this morning I was listening to the guys on PGA Tour radio in the golf school segment and they got to talking about short game practice.  As I love working that part of the game, my ears perked up.  They were talking taking multiple clubs and doing pitches/chips from the same distance and learning how each flies the ball.  So today was the start of the 8P54 drill (8i - Pw - 54°).   Set it up to hit two balls with each club from the same lie to a set distance.  It really helps envision what I should see in each club.  A sweet new twist to a fave drill.

    • I will most likely buy the TSR1 klineka mentioned, though they didn't respond when I asked the seller if they had the +6 weight. They only said the weight was the standard 9g. I contacted a couple of local pro shops, one said they would call Titleist on Tuesday (as Monday is a holiday) for me to order a +6 weight, but the one said Titleist wouldn't have it anymore since it's an older model. Anyway, I will probably buy an aftermarket weight from eBay. Any concerns around aftermarket weight on eBay? They are not cheap, like around $15.
