Though not in hand yet, there's no better time than the present to get the ball rolling. Coming into Oklahoma for review is the Bloodline RG-1 Mallet Putter.
Now, some of you are going "What's a Bloodline?", while others recognize the name because of the PGA Tour use they have gotten from the likes of the Big Easy himself. A key factor here, this isn't a brand started up by flash in the pan entrepreneurs, there is some serious industry history and clout behind Bloodline. The company was founded by Brad Adams and Larry Bischmann, Adams is the former Sr. VP at Odyssey Golf (credited for being in on the development of the famous Odyssey insert material design) and his father actually founded TaylorMade Golf, while Bischmann played a major role in the marketing team that brought TM to the #1 Driver in Golf status as well as spearheading the launch of the Diamana shaft brand. Like I said, these aren't rookies, these are heavy hitters.
The putters themselves stand out because of the bright red finish, hence the Bloodline name, that is contrasted by the unique hosel/neck design. The putters are made of CNC Anodized aluminum with a stainless steel sole insert along with the companies grooved face technology. The hosels/necks are machined aluminum as well and actually are interchangable allowing for quick changes and fitting tweaks. The real design difference though starts with the shaft and grip, in which the ultra light carbon fiber shaft and less than 50 gram oversized grip essentially meld into one another allowing the heavier 395 (in the case of the mallet) head weight to move the balance point much lower improving stability and giving it that oh so wild ability to stand up...on its own.
Different is the name of the game here, and it should be fun to get in for review. The following will be the information on the RG-1 Mallet model (they also have an RJ-1 Blade) from the company as well as some stock images until I get the putter in hand, and in the photo booth.
Bloodline on the RG-1 Mallet Putter:
Revolutionary technology in a familiar head shape
Bloodline's RG-1 Mallet features the potent performance benefit of being able to stand on its own behind the ball on the putting green. Select between:
32", 33", 34" (standard), 35", 36" and custom lengths
69.5°· (standard), 71.5° (upright), and 67.5° (flat) lie
This functionality allows a player to stand on the target line and more accurately line up the face behind the ball. Better alignment combined with improved confidence can free up players to make a more committed and constant stroke.
