Guerin Rife vs. YES!

[dispatch096]

Which would you choose?

I need a putter so badly right now, it isnt even funny. i am using an old Ray Cook Classic and the shaft is bent. its sad. i am considering the Guerin Rife Aussie or the Yes! Callie. Which do you guys like better. Which one feels better. Which is heavier. any help would be greatly appreciated! thank you in advance.

Look at the golf channel ads for the guerin rife and you'll be impressed.

It has to be heavier

I like the c-groove technology of the yes putters, but the Callie just felt dead to me.

I like a soft putter and if you are in the same boat you may want to try a Callie-f.

No experience w/ Guerin Rife, but it's cool that you can adjust your own lie angle.

I am would go with the Guerin Rife. I like the feel of the Rife and the ability to change the weighting of the putter. I also like the fact that you can bend the putter to better fit your game.

I have used the Rife Aussie and Yes! putters. The Callie I believe is 360 grams vs. 345 for the Aussie.

Both are good. I liked the Callie better for the added weight and more solid overall feel. However, I like the Grooves on the Rife putters better. They seem to put a good roll on the ball more consistantly.

I have the Two Bar now, as the weighting is adjustable and I like the Rife grooves best.

[bambooluv]

Yes! All the way.

[ifixclubs]

id go for the guerin rife because of the straight grooves...

[RICKOSOH]

I'd go for the Guerin Rife, cause I won the most money with it. :(

[choeppner]

I'd go with the Guerin Rife Aussie myself. Heard some great things about it.

Guerin Rife Aussie Limited Edition is the best feeling putter I have ever used.

[MCCA]

Having owned both a Current Callie & Guerin Rife Mr. Beasley i'd say interms of feel the Guerin Rife is tops But since i like a heavy putter the Yes wins hands down. Fit & Finish the Rife has the edge. You can't go wrong with either.

I have the callie and a 2-bar. Between the two, I like the 2-bar, but the callie is a great putter as well.

[Hungsolo]

I say Yes! Either way you will have a great putter. Why don't you demo them?

[Golfchicago]

The Rife rolls the ball better than the other two for me.

[Golfwolf]

I have owned both Yes and Guerin Rife putters, the grooves I prefer are on the Rife putters. I was not a fan of the 2 bar but the Mr Beasley putter is firmly in my bag.

[dispatch096]

thank you guys for all the feedback and advice. i tested out both of these and i have decided to go with the YES! it feels very solid. nice heft to it. thanks for all your help.

[MCCA]

You've have made the right choice. The weight of the Yes makes the difference.

 

Good Luck
