I have a 2bar hybrid mallet (not quite the same) and absolutely love it.  The rollgroove face puts such a pure roll on the ball.  No hopping at all.  I ended up purchasing the extra weights as well.  I like being able to change the weight before the round if the greens are slow/fast.  The 2 bars definitely help on off center putts as well.  The face does not open/close on impact if you hit it off the toe/heel.  Very solid putters.

Lots of stuff written about Rife putters around the web, but they are very highly regarded putters.  I recently picked up a used Barbados heel shafted putter, and really love it.  I have some other nice putters, but the Barbados just feels "right" to me.  I recently came across a used 2 bar hybrid mallet, and a used original 2 bar straight shafted mallet, for great prices, and picked those up as well.  There are not that many Rifes out there for lefties, so I figured I should snap up what I can when I get the chance.  Love Rife putters.

    • Day 7: got out my chipping net and worked on chipping in the living room for a solid 15 minutes. Worked on mostly low shots, but mixed in a couple of high shots as well. 
    • Day 228 4-4 More hip/chest turn and wrist arching. Working on hinging wrist a bit later. Foam balls. 
    • Day 27 (4 Apr 26) - Worked with grandson on basic pitches/punches in the back yard with varied irons/wedges.  Wrapped up the day rolling some putts on the 30’ carpet I can set up in the yard to give varied terrain - and this carpet rolls almost too easy. A great way to figure a read and know that pace has to be near perfect to get in the hole.  
    • A bit of a struggle today.  Just some thoughts/musings.  For the backswing, it is like I am never going to be moving on from this. I don't know if I can ever get to the point where the backswing isn't like over 1.5 seconds in duration. Which is probably not ideal. I would like to get to the point where I can just fling the arms back and up.  I have to feel like my hands are going to hit my right thigh from P1 to P2. If not then they like to move 2-5 inches towards the ball from P1 to P2. Then it's just bad from there. This feeling is my hands not gaining much depth, just maintaining depth from set up. From the DTL view, the hands head towards the camera.  While I am doing that, hinge the crap out of the club with my wrist only. Hinge in a way that the club is pointing at the camera at P2.  From P2, lift the hands straight up. I can get here, and still roll the club inside and get it way too shallow.  With the downswing. There isn't much here. I still can't get the flow of this or the sequencing of this to line up. It doesn't help that hinging from P1 to P2 just throws off my entire timing as well.   
    • Day 550 - 2026-04-04 Practiced in the sim at a club for awhile. Did a SW ladder and practiced for awhile with my 7I.
