Altamonte Springs, FL – Rife’s new Island Series Barbados putter had a 3rd Place Finish this past weekend on the PGA Tour at The Bob Hope Chrysler Classic. Firing 16 under par earned the Tour Player a solo 3rd Place Finish for the tournament as he had another great week with Rife’s Barbados putter in his hands. The Tour Player averaged only 1.629 putts per green in regulation, which placed him 3rd in putting for the tournament and earned him a paycheck for $340,000 and 1,700 FedEx Cup points for the PGA Tour’s West Coast Swing.
Rife will officially be introducing their new Island Series putter line at the 2007 PGA Merchandise Show this week in Orlando, FL. The Island Series putter line will consist of the Barbados, Antigua, Cayman, and the Martinique. Visit the Rife Putters website at www.rifeputters.com to view the new 2007 lineup.
Rife 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, GR6 Series, and new Island Series putters, are high-end fully CNC milled putters that offer the same 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.
