Guerin Rife 2 Bar Putter Review

I am new here and don't know how to post a poll, but I wanted to review this putter. It has replaced my 2 ball white hot putter. I like my old putter but got sucked in by the infomercial on the golf channel. I have read positive reviews at other sites before purchasing. I don't play early enough to do the dew test on the greens to see to see how the roll is off the face. But this putter does feel like it rolls the ball nicely. I have not had any 3 putts since using this putter. I find it is pretty equal to the 2 balls for short putts. Both perform well in that category as easy to line up. However, I have seen much better touch with the lag putts using this putter. If anyone is not happy with their putter, I would recommend giving this one a shot. It has helped my putting. Now if I could only get the same touch with my wedges on less than full swings.

I walked in my favorite pro shop yesterday and they had just taken in a 2-bar Blade with most of the original accesories in excellent shape. Although I love my Cameron this putter has intrigued me and the price was too good to pass up ($99). We will see if it can displace the Mid-Slant from my bag.

I LOVE this putter. Has great roll and I have found like the first guy said, my lag putts and longer ones are way better with this putter. Not had one 3 putt.

I like the 2 Bar Blade due to my putting method (arc) and I feel better putting a blade from longer distances - For me, it is easier to set up and 'lag' with a blade over a mallet.

I already have a mallet which is good when I was within 10 feet but that wasn't occurring that often due to horrendous chipping.

I am considering getting the 2 Bar Mallet since my proshop has them on a hefty sale.

I found them in a pro-shop clearing out the stock for the incoming stuff. In Ebay they are pretty cheap but this shop has it cheaper.

I think it would nice to have both types of putters.

None of the golf shops I have gone to carry the 2 bar mallet. I want to try it out on the little concrete putting green all those shops have :) I wonder where I can find it!

I had the same problem finding a Yes! putter in a store - otherwise I would have gotten one of those if I could try one out. I read those Yes! putters are great.

Yeah, the Yes! putters are great too from the reviews I have read. I guess the only way to try out one of the 2 bar mallets is to buy one. :(

I have the two bar blade and I love it, but that wasn't the case when I first used it. It took some time to get the proper weights for my swing, after that I love it now.

I just demoed the Rife 2 Bar Blade 35 inch and could not miss with it in the Golf Galaxy practice area. It really has a rather unique feel on the take back and follow through. The visual railroad track effect produced by the two bars on the forward stroke is a good que to help keep your head down until after impact. Now off to try it on real grass. More later.

I love my 2-Bar Mallet! I've always had a straight-back-and-through putting stroke, so I should have gone to a center-shafted putter sooner. I've played only 9-hole "rounds" so far, and I have yet to 3-putt. I can see the line so much better than I could with my old 2-ball, so I'm much more confident.

I just switched to the 2 Bar Blade putter in my last round and had 3 birdies in the round and 3 putted just once from just off the green. I don't give all credit or failure to the clubs, but I was really pleased with the look and feel of this putter.

I putt cross handed and putt much like Bernhard Langer used to putt, but this club just feels good to me and my aim seems improved with the visuals of this putter.

I never had a putter with such an angle of the shaft, but maybe my success was also due to my eyes not directly over the ball. I believe my head was a bit inside of the ball. Whatever works and works consistently is my goal. This club may have helped that.
