dealer account. |
|
|
CHOOSING PUTTER LENGTH |
| As a
general rule, we recommend for people who are 5'10"
or taller get a 35" putter, 5'5" - 5'9" get a 34"
putter, and 5'4" or shorter get a 33" putter. |
|
|
CHOOSING BETWEEN PUTTERS |
| Both
Blade and Mallet styles work for open and close
putting, as well as straight back, straight through
putting. They are also designed to be exactly the
same on weight and have the same great feel. If you
are used to the visual effects of a blade style
putter, then you would more than likely prefer the
blade. However, the mallet style frames up the bars
and gives you a longer sight line behind the ball. |
|
| RETURN INFO FOR

| We will be happy
to examine the putter for possible repair. There may
be a small shipping fee to return the repaired

|
| OFFSET
PUTTER AVAILABILTY |
| Thank you for your
interest in Guerin Rife putters. We are now offering
right-handed offset putters in both blade and mallet
styles. They are available in 33, 34, and 35 inch
lengths. |
|
| OFFSET VS.
NON OFFSET |
| Sometimes, it is
personal preference as far as the look of the putter
is set up. For alignment purposes and for proper set
up, the idea is to get the person's eyes to be
directly over the ball, particularly the player's
dominant eye. For a right-handed player who has a
dominant left eye, the eye closest to the hole, we
would typically fit them with a straight shafted
putter because that puts their dominant eye over the
ball. For a person who is right eye dominant, the
eye furthest from the hole, we would give them an
offset shaft. Putting the ball under the dominant
eye helps the player line up the putt with more
accuracy . Offset putters typically help golfers
keep their hands in front of the ball at impact and
promotes less break down in the wrists.

|
| WHEN
PUTTING WITH A SLIGHT PRESS DOES THE OFFSET HELP OR
MAKES IT WORSE? |
| The length of the
putter and being offset does not have much to do
with the forward press. It does naturally set your
hands forward of the ball so you will not need to
forward press as much as normal to get your hands
ahead of the ball. If you are worried about your
forward press affecting your putting because of
delofting , simply add loft to the putter by bending
the shaft forward towards the ball using the bending
tool. This ensures that when the putter is pressed
forward, the putter's loft will be returned to its
original optimal position of 2 degrees. |
