Love at First Putt

NEVER COMPROMISE GM2 EXCHANGE, RIFE BARBADOS, PING REDWOOD PIPER S

NEVER COMPROMISE GM2 EXCHANGE 
The surest way to change the feel of your putter is to tinker with the weight, which is the appeal of the GM2 line. The five different models allow a player to manipulate the weight in the head from either 320 to 370 grams or 330 to 360 grams, depending on the model.
MSRP $299; clevelandgolf.com, 800-999-6263

RIFE BARBADOS 
The new Island series features Rife’s patented groove-face technology, which grips the ball and gets it rolling quicker than a smooth-faced putter, according to the company. Another trademark is a lie-angle notch that aids a player in
locking in a consistent address position.
MSRP $180; rifeputters.com, 800-496-9373

PING REDWOOD PIPER S 
The new Redwood series is Ping’s first completely milled stainless steel line (also available in Anser and Zing blade models). Slightly heavier at 340 to 355 grams, the Redwood has an opulent black chrome finish. The name pays homage to the California city where Ping founder Karsten Solheim built his first putters in his garage.
MSRP $280; pinggolf.com, 800-474-6434
