Has anybody tried the Guerin Rife 2 bar? In theory it seems to ba a nice putter... has anyone putted with one? how is it? Any input would be appreciated.

Played one for over a year now and love them. Played the mallet and the blade and both were amazing. I have stuck with the mallet and my putting has improved so much over the past year its crazy. It may not just be the putter, as I have improved my stroke, but it puts a heck of a roll on the ball. Working on a custom Guerin Rife over the next few weeks. Expect it to be as good if not better. I will post a followup.

I had one for a short time, very recently. I practiced with it, here at home and spent a small amount of time on the practice green with it.

Roll? Very nice. The ball seems to start rolling instantly as it comes off the face. There is almost no detectible hop or bounce to the putt. Very true and nice.

Feel? There is definitely a difference in each weight package that you can choose to install. Check them all out and find which one suits you or the greens you will be playing on.

Sound? This was where it lost me. The body is aluminum and I have been rolling a Nwpt Bch SSS for the past couple of years. The difference is noticable, to say the least. Not unpleasant, at all, but noticable.

I chose to stick with the Surgical Stainless and start rolling my new Custom Tacoma Long Neck and swap the Rife to someone who was eager to give it a roll.

If I were in the putter market, I'd give one a roll, no problem. The feel is good, roll is very, very good and the sound is so much a personal thing that you have to experience it, for yourself.

Hope this doesn't confuse more than inform, but it is only one Mann's opinion.

Thanks,

Thanks guys for the input. There just seems to be so much technology in it... I find it tempting to try out. Any other opinions?

If your in the market for one of the infomercial putters you might want to also look into the Heavy Putter. Saw the infomercial for it the other day and it seemed to be just as good if not better than the Two Bar. Just a suggestion though as I have no experience with either one. Good luck with your search :)

I'll have both in my hot little mitts very soon. The Rife is solid. We'll see what the Heavy Putter is all about soon enough! :beee:
