RG-1

The Bloodline RG-1 arrived in 2017 as a mallet built around one idea: alignment. thegolfwire.com described a patented design allowing the player to see the club, ball, target line, and hole without tilting the head or using peripheral vision, paired with an extremely low balance point and a machined aluminum body. golfbusinessnews.com described the construction as a machined aluminum face, body, and hosel bonded to a stainless steel sole plate. The 2017 release, per thegolfwire.com, was only available on Kickstarter.

Community reaction to that first mallet was largely warm. One pluggedingolf.com reviewer wrote, I purchased the first mallet when it came on the market. I loved it. I didn't think the feel was bad, I loved the higher swingweight, and alignment was fantastic. I went from a good putter to a deadly one. Others in the record praised the alignment benefits and the feel, though there was pushback too, some preferred a center-shafted setup over the heel-shafted configuration the RG-1 shipped with.

From that mallet, the line moved to a blade. golfmagic.com quoted the maker's momentum in blade terms: after the successful release of the RG-1 mallet, we've received feedback from tour players and have made refinements to the blade that can meet the many demands of tour players. golfbusinessnews.com added that the brand was starting to gain momentum on tour and with other athletes who are enjoying the alignment benefits in addition to the great feel of the putter.

The resulting RG-1 Blade, per asiagolf.id, kept the alignment premise front and center, again described as letting the player see the club, ball, target line, and hole without having to tilt the head or use peripheral vision, now built as a 3 piece CNC milled head in CNC-milled aluminum, with a balance point around 2 inches from the base of the head. asiagolf.id also described the design as a CNC machined, multi-piece head with performance groove face technology combined with an Integrated/Oversized Grip section that morphs into the shaft section, offered in 32", 33", 34" standard, 35", 36", and custom lengths. Across both releases, the Bloodline RG-1 name stayed tied to the same premise it launched with: a putter meant to be stood behind and sighted, rather than merely stroked.
