Rife Abaco

Who's tried it

If you are gaming it please tell me how you like it. I love the Odyssey #9 but felt the Abaco with the groove technology would be more beneficial for me and my putting. Every little thing helps ya know. Please let me know how you are liking it.

I had one for a brief while...I liked looking at it more than I liked putting with it. It just didn't suit my stroke very well. I ended up going back to the Barbados.

I had one but did not like the heal shape of it and changed to the Aussie Mallet.

All Rife putters put a great roll on the ball. find one you like to look at and can line up well and you wont be disappointed

OK, I gamed a Rife tour MidMallet 400 tour for 2 years , switched to a Nike mallet by accident... been waiting for the right Rife head to replace it. I HAVE FOUND IT!!!

I FINALLY got to roll the Abaco today. I have gamed an odyssey 9 for a couple of rounds, (not the black), This Rife is Icemakr's, he added lead tape added and a 75 gram counter balance weight in the handle. I LOVE the head, and with my slightly gated stroke (think Utley) I was rolling this puppy great all day long. It is going in my back permanently.

Especially for the price you can get them for, its at least worth getting and rolling side by side to your odyssey.

good luck

Last year I purchased a TM Spider and my game improved more than it ever has. So I decided that I wanted to go to something that is a little more traditional this year. I purchased the Abaco and am absolutly loving the way it rolls. I made some really good putts with it yesterday and I beleive that is will soon take the place of my Spider as the Gamer! I play on some of the fastest greens in the Indianapolis area and can not wait to use this gem one it warms up and the greens are lightning quick again! I'd say go for it!!!!

Why did you switch away from the 400? I have gamed it for about 5 months now and nothing has been able to knock it out.
