About The Rife Island Series Barbados
Like all putters from Rife, the Barbados is Tour driven. Since its introduction two months ago this oversized mallet putter has found its way into the bag of two of the top 100 players on the PGA Tour whom have enjoyed immediate success. Guerin Rife has designed the Barbados to have a pleasing shape wrapped around a three line center cavity section creating a strong alignment aid. By moving the mass to the outer edges of the putter, the Barbados is extremely stable.
All of Rife’s Putters, the 2 Bar line, the GR6 Series, and the new Island Series, are high-end fully CNC milled putters that offer the patented RollGrooveTM Technology and patent pending Lie-Aline system.
About Rife Putters
Rife Putters, LLC is the true innovator behind horizontal grooved face putter technology with a patent on specifically sized grooves since 1997. These precisely spaced grooves allow the putter to gently press into the cover of the ball and grip and lift it into an instant forward roll. Guerin Rife states, "just as grooves in irons help control spin so do grooves in a putter face." Other companies are now trying to imitate this patented technology but the spacing of the grooves is the true key to the gripping and lifting effect of grooved face putter technology. Horizontal RollGroove faced putters create the truest "no skid" roll in golf no matter where you hit the ball on the putter face.
