Golf Monthly Verdict

The way in which this putter was weighted makes it one of the most stable putters around. The wide milled grooves give an extremely soft feel but at the same time the ball rolls out beautifully. A lot to look down on at address but great for alignment. Where next? More On Test: - Putter reviews - Equipment reviews News: - Rife reigns supreme at the British Senior Open

This putter is a combination of Rife’s Island Series Barbados putter and the original TwoBar. The combined features include the TwoBar alignment aid and RollGroove technology which helps provide a more consistent roll. The heel-and-toe weighting combined with the two weighted bars create a high moment of inertia for added forgiveness
