RIFE’s Tour Rep hand delivered a new Island Series Barbados putter to him on Monday morning and after rolling it a few times on the practice green at TPC Sawgrass, Kuchar decided to immediately put it into play.

“We made Matt a brand new Barbados with a special bend and bore angle that would fit his putting style better, said Jim Barfield, V.P. of Tour Operations for RIFE Putters, “It has 5 degrees of loft and a 70 degree lie angle. I joked with Matt’s dad on Monday and said it was a “magic putter” that we put together for him. Little did I know I was right! What a thrilling victory. We’re just proud to be a part of it.”

Kuchar ranked 2nd in Strokes Gained/Putting, 5^th in Putts Per Round (27.5 avg.) and 5^th in Putts Per GIR (1.642 avg.). “I’ve never seen Matt so confident standing over his putts,” said Barfield, “it was like he was stuck on automatic.”

Matt has had a number of Top Ten finishes already this season and captured a 3^rd Place Finish at The Masters earlier this year using his old RIFE Barbados putter, but the new bend and bore angle seem to have made all the difference in the world.

Kuchar earned a check for $1.7 Million for his Players Championship victory and moved up to 6^th Place on the Fed Ex Cup Points List.

RIFE’s new line of putters for 2012 include its award winning Island Series models like the Abaco, Aruba, Barbados, Cayman Brac and Trinidad, all of which are recent recipients of a 2012 Golf Digest Hot List Award.

All of these Island Series putters are available in either a Standard Silver Finish or in RIFE’s brand new Tropical Finish. This Tropical Finish is created by using a vacuum “Ti” plating process” on the head of the putter. A broad spectrum of colors emanate from this deep rich gunmetal like finish creating a “rainbow effect” depending upon how the light hits it. The new finish has other benefits aside from its eye-catching appearance. The finish prevents oxidization, increases hardness and makes the putter very wear-resistant.

About RIFE Putters
RIFE Putters, LLC is the true innovator behind horizontal grooved face putter technology with a patent on specifically sized grooves since 1997. These precisely spaced grooves allow the putter to gently press into the cover of the ball and grip and lift it into an instant forward roll. RIFE Putters states, “just as grooves in irons help control spin so do grooves in a putter face.” Other companies are now trying to imitate this patented technology but the spacing of the grooves is the true key to the gripping and lifting effect of grooved face putter technology. Horizontal RollGroove^TM faced putters create the truest “no skid” roll in golf no matter where you hit the ball on the putter face.

This time, it was a RIFE Island Series Barbados Belly putter that caught all the attention and earned the 3^rd Place Finisher a paycheck for $384,000.00.

“To say the greens at Augusta were challenging again this year would be a bit of an understatement,” said Robby Hipp, Director of Development for RIFE Putters. “Speed and distance control can be the difference between making a birdie or a double bogey. Based on the number of Top Ten Finishes we’ve had at The Masters over the years, it appears that our RollGroove^TM Technology has them pretty well figured out.”

The Golf Digest Hot List is derived from in-depth club testing that is administered by a Hot List Panel consisting of 38 Players, Scientists, Retailers, and Judges, who this year reviewed hundreds of products and came up with what they refer to as the equipment that is most intriguing, and most significant for 2012.

Each product was rated and given points in several different categories including, Performance, Innovation, Look/Sound/Feel, and Demand. RIFE’s Island Series putters received high marks in all categories tested including 4 out of 5 stars for Performance, Innovation and Demand. According to Golf Digest Magazine, “Center-shafted blades are not usually for the masses. This one (the Trinidad) drew unanimous raves for its roll from our testers.”

All of these Island Series putters will be available in either a Standard Silver Finish or in RIFE’s brand new Tropical Finish for 2012. This Tropical Finish is created by using a vacuum “Ti” plating process” on the head of the putter.

The new finish has other benefits aside from its eye-catching appearance. The finish prevents oxidization, increases hardness and makes the putter very wear-resistant.

“It’s a huge honor to have our putters make the Hot List,” said Robby Hipp, Director of Development for RIFE Putters. “This year we integrated our patented RollGroove^TM Technology Face and Alignment Notch System into some more traditional putter designs like the Trinidad, the Aruba and the Cayman Brac. Receiving six Golf Digest Hot List Awards in seven years is a pretty good indication that we’re on the right track.”

This acquisition signals the resurrection of Rife Putters, who for the past year has struggled to manufacture and distribute product due to a lack of funding.  With an influx of capital and a new management team in place, Rife Putters is determined to regain its market share and reclaim its spot as the #1 Putter on the Champions Tour.

“Innovex Golf and Rife Putters share the vision of providing Tour quality performance and playability to its customers at an exceptional value,” said Robby Hipp, Director of Development.  “Rife’s reputation in the golf industry is second to none. That coupled with the recent success of the E-Motion and V-Motion golf balls from Innovex is the combination that we feel will take this company to the next level.”

The Innovex Golf and Rife Putter brands will continue to be marketed independently but cross-promotional opportunities will be offered at both the wholesale and retail levels.  The company plans to operate bicoastal offices located in Medina, WA and Sanford, FL.  The Rife Putter Fitting Studio will remain open at the Sanford location.

Former Chairman of Rife Putters, Jim Barfield, will be staying on with the company as the Head of Tour Operations.
