Rife Two Bar Hybrid

Watching Golf Channel Today

Watching the GC today and ran across an infomercial that was preaching on the Rife Two Bar Hybrid. Looked really legit and I was tempted to call and try one. Anybody swinging this right now? Hit some practice puts with a Bimini and you gotta love that Roll Groove Technology! The adjustabliity and everything else going for the putter looks awesome. Anybody else see this today? (My only grind was every time somebody hit the ball it made the same sound from no matter what the distance was, or if it was a reshowing of a previous broadcast and when the ball fell in the hole it made the same generic ball in hole sound, over and over and over hahaha not much to complain about)

They seem to be popular on the Champions Tour.

just do a search for rife on this site, plenty of reviews. The only thing you have to get used to is the pure roll out on your putts. i am convinced the roll groove technology helps us amatuers more, because we don't have repeating swings or contact like the pros, so it helps us be more consistent with our misses.

I have the 2 bar hybrid and the ball rolls pretty good out of the face. I prefer the feel of the IBF series or the others without an insert but I think it is because my gamer is a SC fastback so I'm used to that type of feeling.

I ended up with the Barbados. My Pro Shop didn't have a Lefty 2 bar to try out.

My Scotty got knocked so hard in to the Closet I don't know if I'll ever see it again.

I've swapped an SC pro platinum newport for a Rife 2 Bar Hybrid Mallet-taken a good 3-4 strokes off my putting average since I bagged it. Fits my putting stroke better than the SC did (I've shifted over time from an arc to an SBST). Rolls the ball well and lines up better than the SC.

I've got a Barbados, not a 2-Bar, but I am very pleased with the weight of the putter and the roll that it gives.

Rife makes good equipment, they're just not one of the "big boys".

2 bar hybrid is awesome

I have been looking at all different putters and everytime I try out at the PGA store, Rife wins my vote

Only reason I didn't buy it was I already spent some money on two sets of new irons last month and

my wife will have hard time to understand why I am such a ho

Solid putter IMHO

I play the Hybrid 2 bar.

Knocked out a Scotty and the Barbados.

Love the alignment, love that you can change weights and I really like the look of it.

The "Roll Groove" is amazing, I love it

I bought one a couple months ago and used it on the putting green a few times and played one round with it. Really liked the putter, especially the roll grooves. Without a doubt the grooves get the ball rolling quicker and better. I then decided to get a Scotty C Squareback and I like it a little more. I have my very slightly used 2 bar hybrid mallet (tour/blac version) for sale on BST.

I own one...putted great with it for about 4 months. Then for some reason I started watching the Bars and line on the back swing and I lost the ability to hit it. I keep trying it, but I'm pretty much ready to throw it as far as humanly possible.

I find it a little busy but It's 100% my fault that i'm no longer hitting it. I just keep trying it hoping it'll come back.
