Rife Cayman Island Series Putter
Rife Island Series Cayman Putter
The Rife Island Series Cayman Putter is a classic cavity style blade that offers a traditional look and feel. With Rife's patented high-performance RollGroove Technology, the Cayman offers the quickest forward roll available with a minimal two degrees of head loft for precision play. The Cayman features a raised top line toward the toe. A mid-slant hosel produces a toe-ward weight bias, promoting an open to close swing path. Like all Rife putters, the Cayman is made out of 100 percent milled 304 stainless steel. The Cayman putter comes with a magnetic clasp headcover.Rife's Patented RollGroove Technology:
Conventional putters chip the ball out of its depression with four to six degrees of loft, creating a slight backspin until the ball hits the ground and the friction of the grass causes the ball to skip or skid before it begins its true forward roll. By contrast, Rife putters feature precisely milled and spaced grooves that grip, hold, and release the ball into an immediate forward roll, eliminating the skipping and skidding created by traditional putters, for a more consistent and accurate roll on every stroke with less loft (1.5 to two degrees compared to the four to six degrees of loft on a conventional putter). Without the grooves holding the ball through the depression, the ball would slide up the face (like it does with a traditional flat face putter) losing energy and creating very inconsistent distance control. With RollGroove Technology the effects of grass grain on your ball are greatly reduced because the ball is not skipping or skidding (high friction) but rolling immediately (low friction) so your ball will hold the line better and your reads will be truer.
