Did a search and I couldn't find anything on this. Is it possible to add a notch on the top line of a putter to match the alignment line on the heel of a putter? Effect I would be trying to create would be something like you find on a Rife 2 bar.

I was goofing around with putters today and I couldn't miss with the Rife 400 mid mallet. Doubt I will make the move, but ya never know. It seems that cutting a notch on the top line of the Rife 400 would be doable as it overhangs the rear of the face. Would doing this alteration negatively impact the performance of the club? If I could pull this off I would have a lie adjustable putter...something I could benefit from for sure.

Any input is appreciated

I'm sure if you contacted a company that customizes putters they could do it for you very simply and inexpensively.

Several years ago, I had someone make a component parts putter for me. When I asked for an alignment notch, he put the head in a rubber-cushioned vice grip and sawed a notch with a hacksaw.

Line was not perfectly square, but my eye adjusted to perpendicular alignment of head, which had uniform depth from left to right. Suggestion: Take it to a machine shop that does precision grinding, etc., and the machinist could probably give you a precision "right angle" alignment line, or maybe parallel lines defining the sweet spot.

Focus, connect and follow through!

    • Day 297 6-28 Got some swings in early this morning, busy day. Worked on low point control, skills work. 
    • Day 2: played 18. Driving was decent to good. Approach play was meh. Short game meh, and putting solid. Added up to an 81. Needed more tap in pars and more birdie chances. 
    • Day 8 (28 Jun 26) - Worked with face position at address and overall setup - open/neutral/closed - and setting up for resulting shot shapes - using 8i and hard foam balls.  It was abbreviated as the thunder began to rumble. Got in about 20 swings before calling it. 
    • Tale of two swings.  Swing 1: Slightly outside takeaway (hands move outside of target line) only to allow trail elbow over collapsing at P4. Doesn't take much to overdo it for the trail elbow collapse to only further exaggerate. That's death. Swing 2: Hands stay slight in at takeaway for a much better trail elbow condition at P4. This is a hard sell from an instinct perspective. More focus on un-weighting and re-weighting of lead foot to unlock a bit more mobility of hips and torso. A major flaw that creeps up often is me swinging flat footed and becoming overly armsy-collapsy as a result. Got reminded of this the hard way during my 2nd round match for club net championship. Was cruising along 2up until I made the turn. Then lost the swing for next five holes. Andy was playing good enough to capitalize. By the time I regained my swing on 16th, it was too late. Even Andy was like "That was a gift". Obviously that stings because have played well enough lately. Should have closed him out of the game comfortably with a few holes to spare. Shoulda woulda coulda. Tough lesson. Damn. P.S. I know the swings look very similar but trust me there is a difference.
