Rife Aussie Blade Putter (Right Hand)

Product Review

Inspired by one of greatest putters in the game, Australian Ian Baker-Finch, the Aussie Blade is a traditional plumber neck, flange style putter. The Aussie Blade bears the 5-star Southern Cross constellation to represent its connection to the southern hemisphere and features Rife's patented RollGroove Technology for the quickest forward roll off the putt in golf. Constructed out of 100 percent milled 303 stainless steel, the blade is coated in a non-glare satin black tour finish. The Aussie Blade putter comes with a magnetic clasp headcover.

Rife's Patented RollGroove Technology:
Conventional putters chip the ball out of its depression with four to six degrees of loft, creating a slight backspin until the ball hits the ground and the friction of the grass causes the ball to skip or skid before it begins its true forward roll. By contrast, Rife putters feature precisely milled and spaced grooves that grip, hold, and release the ball into an immediate forward roll, eliminating the skipping and skidding created by traditional putters, for a more consistent and accurate roll on every stroke with less loft (1.5 to two degrees compared to the four to six degrees of loft on a conventional putter). Without the grooves holding the ball through the depression, the ball would slide up the face (like it does with a traditional flat face putter) losing energy and creating very inconsistent distance control. With RollGroove Technology the effects of grass grain on your ball are greatly reduced because the ball is not skipping or skidding (high friction) but rolling immediately (low friction) so your ball will hold the line better and your reads will be truer.
