Guerin Rife 2 Bar Blade

[gotgolf?]

Has anyone seen good results from this putter? I am a Scotty fan (own three: Newport 2 Tel3 and a couple of Studio Stainless) but ordered one of these due to:

I want a center shafter and face-balanced putter => my swing stroke is pretty much straight back and straight forward so I am looking to benefit

The Rife has weight adjustabilty options => I love the soft buttery feel and weight of the Tel3, but its not too forgiving, I like the results from the Studio stainless, but would like some more weight and feel

The face technology on the Rife allegedly offers a truer roll after impact - also there is much less loft than on traditional putters.

Putting for me is absolutely a game of feel and the most subjective in golf for me. Just wanted to hear any user opinions.

Thanks.

They

claim it offers a truer roll, and loft exists on putters (4° or so) for a reason. I'm fairly certain Scotty Cameron and his high-speed cameras know what they're doing. You wanted to hear opinions, so here's mine: you're being suckered by marketing. Stan Utley believes most people need more loft on their putters.

That may be so. But I also believe most marketing is fed to use in a time-release capsule. Manufacturers hold back on technology and slowly reap in the benefits of their R&D.;

I do like my Scotty's and have never had a problem with the impact or roll. Oh and I also like the adjustable lie factor of the 2 Bar Blade. Will let you know how it works out.
