The different colored bumpers actually a different weight, or is it just colors?

Dear Rife,

Please bring that new colored Winn grip and the new black putter covers to retail!

PLEASE!

I like the the looks of the switchbacks and the Iconic two. Hope they come to retail.

Switchback looks pretty cool.

I'm not sure about the little notch/line thing they're doing though. Won't that only work if you have your eyes directly over the line? ...What if you just don't line up that way?

[scratchswinger]

Switchback reminds me of Machine Converter. I don't know why but I like The Maven.

[Agent Jim]

I own a Rife Aruba, so I bought into the face milling, but I would also like to see them do some traditional face milling.

[m_schroeds]

I wish the weights weren't colored.

[Masse1369]

Looks like a Machine, a modern day Zebra and a weld neck Anser 2 with a notch in it.

I actually kind of like the colors on the Switchback. Something a little different at the retail level. Looks like a total ripoff of Machine though...

I just dug up my old zebra mallet I used when I was on the highschool team. So ugly but was the only putter I could pretend to putt with back then. Maybe I'll buy a maven as kind of a before and after display.

That Maven looks pretty sweet

In my experience the notch thing really helps with getting the putter to the same position every time. I line up with my eyes inside the line, and it works fine for me. For me it makes it instantly apparent when I'm set up toe down or too close.
