One of Guerin Rife’s first designs in the late 90’s was the 400 MidMallet that was a no hosel “Anserâ€� style small mallet. The Abaco is inspired by that design. This is a players mallet and similar designs are seeing play on the PGA Tour.  In fact, many players have already put the Abaco in their bag as of the British Open at Royal Birkdale.  In many ways, the Abaco is the mallet version of the Bimini Blade.  On Tour we do extensive grinding to on both the heel and toe.   The putter was designed with ability to meet the varying preferences of the tour players for this particular design.
