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. RIFE is introducing three new models to its Island Series of putters in Booth #1303 at the PGA Merchandise Show. The Abaco, Bimini and Cayman have been shipped and are already available at RIFE retailers.
About The Putting Game
The Putting Game, a new system that provides fun and excitement as well precision to a golfer’s putting, will debut nationally during the PGA Merchandise Show. Offering numerous games and putting challenges, The Putting Game is designed to be used indoors on a carpeted floor. It is different because it uses a “virtual cup” (not a physical cup) and is “stimp aware” to provide feedback on putt distance. The Putting Game is a product of NE1Golf, which is dedicated to furtherance of the game. The company’s first product, the HotRod Putter was introduced at the 2008 PGA Merchandise Show and received rave reviews. To learn more visit booth # 2273 at the PGA Merchandise Show.
