WARNING: Putting Addiction Forming
When on the green and desiring a true roll, the Rife Putters Limited Edition Aussie blade putter delivers. If you’re lucky enough to get your hands on one of the 200 Aussies that were made, you’ll discover that the CNC-milled putter features Rife’s patented RollGroove face technology. The RollGroove face, consisting of tightly spaced horizontal grooves, grips and lifts the ball at impact. This eliminates the “knuckleball” produced by smooth-faced putters that cause the ball to skip and skid before finally making a true roll.

Take An Inside Approach
Inside Approach is a simple training device that features a cylindrical-shaped cushion attached to a stand that is positioned directly over the ball along the intended target line. Golfers practice swinging a club under the cushion to correct their swing path mistakes. An instructional DVD or VHS featuring legend Jack Nicklaus comes with the training aid.

Tee It Up With Rip Tips
Golfers seeking more distance off the tee may find what they’ve been looking for with Rip Tips. With a three-point bristle design, Rip Tips slides onto any wooden tee and allows the golf ball to float above the tee’s concave surface, ensuring zero friction and zero spin. Independent tests showed wooden tees with Rip Tips produced drives 27.3 yards longer than the same wooden tee without Rip Tips. Endorsed by world-renowned long driver John Daly, Rip Tips is also credited by 2005 ReMax World Long Drive champion Steve Griffith for his win at last year’s finals.

Heavy Lifting
The new Matte Series from Heavy Putter offers the same patented weight technology that has been the buzz in golf lately. While conventional putterheads weigh between 330 to 350 grams, Heavy Putter heads weigh between 450 and 500 grams. This increase in weight forces the large stabilizing shoulder muscles to play a more active role in the putting stroke, lessening pressure on small wrist muscles to perform. The design also promotes a pendulum stroke, leading to a more consistent swing path. Heavy Putter
