 Guerin Rife is best known for the line of putters that carry his last name. But he’s releasing a new line of putters called “Guerin” that he hopes will familiarize golfers with his first name.

Rife’s original putter company, Rife, was sold to Innovex, a company known for its multi-piece golf balls, in late 2011. But despite the fact that the putters still carry his last name, Rife has no association with Innovex’s Rife putter line. Rife is back in the putter game with Guerin Design Putter Co., a line of premium forged-milled putters that will be available this summer in two different models, an Anser-style blade called the GR1 and a mallet called the GR3. The third, and most intriguing feature of Guerin putters is their “Rocker Sole,” which is shaped in a way that the company says removes alignment problems caused by eye dominance. According to Rife, the Rocker Sole also accommodates different hand positions, squaring up the putter face regardless of how the putter is soled.
