Though solid putters, I felt like the newer Rifes did not hold up as well compared to the old Rife putters. I contacted Rife to see if I could get a mid-size or large pistol Rife grip but they stated that they do not have any, only larger Super Stroke grips. Bill plays Scott Readman Concepts putters and accessories. I went back and they found the correct cover with the 20 gram weight.However, my second question still stands and would like your thoughts. The PGA Superstore did not know why. When I balance it on my finger, the toe does not point downward at all, so it seems not.I would appreciate your thoughts and comments. Rife offers two other weights (red: 10g, charcoal: 15g) for purchase, but I would like to see one more set included with the putter to cover the gap between 350 grams and 380 grams.
By day, Bill is a technology manager living in the Chicago suburbs with his wife and kids. With this putter over just 2 rounds, it feels more natural, better rolling and the distances have been much better.The only part I do not like is the standard sized shaft on the putter. Personally, if I’m looking for toe hang, I’m going to go with a putter designed to have toe hang.Bill, an update……after looking at the putter covers in your article, it was obvious that the PGA Superstore gave me the wrong cover that included a 30 gram weight. So, I thought I would try to put the heavier 30 gram weight on the toe of the putter with the 5 gram on the heel. The stability of the putter is slightly decreased, but there is certainly an increase in the feel and response.
The sound at impact is very muted and the feel is very responsive.
I’ll discuss the direct effect in the next section, but just note, the feel does change with the weights.The biggest appeal to me in Rife putters over the years has been their ability to perform above all else. Bill is a true golf gear nerd by definition who loves making custom club creations in his garage with tools like sledge hammers, blow torches, and his bare hands. Ultimately, I wanted to affirm your comments and recommend this putter to anyone who like its’ looks and encourage them to try it.Unfortunately I can’t answer that question. With the silver weights installed the putter becomes extremely easy to put a smooth stroke on, but there is a little loss in feel.
Misses have been due to my mis-read rather than being surprised by a mis-direction from the putter.
Your best bet in finding an answer is to contact Rife through their website.I don’t know. Thanks much.Unfortunately, I can’t speak to why/how you ended up with silver 30g weights. Previous articles on this website will tell you that I have been a As mentioned, the bumpers of the Switchback putters are actually completely replaceable. I have putted very well with it.

When I got it home, I started to play around with the weights in it and have some questions.First, the silver weights have a “30” on it so I assume that these are the standard issue but they say 30 rather than the 20 reported by you (and Rife). Though the loss is not massive, it’s notable. The weights we got were 20g and that’s what Rife has listed.As far as the toe hang issue, I will say the hang is usually based on neck positions and significant weight distributions. Previously, I had been playing with a 380 gram putter and the Rife felt just fine with those 5 gram weights.
Obviously the appearance changes quite a bit with the blue weights where you get an interesting pop of color. I have been playing with the lighter blue weights. Copyright © 2020 Plugged In Golf.
The putter itself comes with a set of 5 gram blue weights and a set of 20 gram silver weights. It did not need to be heavier. When I reviewed the newer Going back to the adjustable weights on this putter, you’d expect they would have a significant impact on the feel…and they do. Anyway, what I’m trying to say is that I now hold Rife putters to a very high standard. I would assume a 25g weight difference isn’t enough.
The heavier silver weights bring the putter up to 380 grams and the blue weights bring the putter to 350 grams. Secondly, I usually like to putt with a bit of a toe hang putter but I believe this is face balanced.

Am I right that it would accomplish that same effect? Thanks.Bill, thanks much for your comments on the Switchback XL putter.One final comment as I have now played 2 (18 hole) rounds with the Switchback XL and it will be staying in the bag for a while. I have not sunk everything (I did sink some good ones) but it has been very stable and smooth rolling. The weights and the flange line appear to flow seamlessly.My favorite aspects of my old Rife blades are how soft they sound and feel.
