This is the RIGHT HANDED GUERIN RIFE ISLAND SERIES BARBADOS PUTTER 35" FREE S/H. The Guerin Rife putter is one of the hottest clubs on the green today. Rife putters are very popular among players on the PGA Tour as well. This putter is one of the NEW Island Series putters just released by Guerin Rife.

Like all putters from Rife Island Series is Tour driven. Since its introduction on the PGA Tour late 2006 this oversized mallet putter has found its way into the bag of three of the top 50 players on the PGA Tour whom have enjoyed immediate success (winner of the 2006 Australian Masters). The Barbados is designed to have a pleasing shape wrapped around a three line center cavity section creating a strong alignment aid. By moving the mass to the outer edges of the putter, the Barbados is extremely stable. It also features both RollGroove and LieAline technologies. As with all Rife putters the Barbados is 100% milled and made of mild 304 stainless steel. This product includes a headcover.

The grooves are 40/1000” wide and 20/1000” apart, which decreases the overall surface area of the putter by 2/3. With 2/3 less contact surface area of a conventional putter the ball feels softer coming off the face – and this is a “real feel” not the “fake feel” created by face insert putters.

More Forgiving
When a ball is hit off-center, it will assume a slight-sidespin and takeoff on an undesired line to the hole. The immediate, no-skid roll produced by RollGrooves overrides sidespin from a miss hit and keeps the ball rolling along the target line.

Distance Control
Amateurs miss the majority of their putts below the hole because they don't understand or can't correctly read the direction of the greens grain. RollGroove Technology dramatically reduces the effects of grain by getting the ball rolling on top of the grass quicker with true forward roll, which decreases the friction with the grass. This means your ball will roll out truer and more consistently and your putts will catch the bottom lip of the cup instead of missing below the hole.

True Forward Roll
The precisely milled grooves slightly press into the cover of the ball gripping and lifting it out of its own depression. As a result, the Barbados putter only needs 1 degree of loft to simulate the same launch angle as traditional lofted putters (standard is 4 degrees) without the negative effects (backspin). The end result is a ball that launches into the air with a slight forward rotation instead of backspin. This eliminates the skipping and skidding created by traditional putters, creating a more consistent and accurate roll, every time. Conventional putter having 3 to 5 degrees of loft, hit the ball off the ground with a slight back roll. As the ball lands it skids across the putting surface before changing its back roll to forward roll. During this "skid zone" the grass grain interacts with the ball's dimpled surface and alters its direction and speed.
