The Record
Written from the sources it cites · machine-drafted for the Community to correctThe RX Series arc begins in 2014 with the RX2, a mallet Chicago Golf Report attributed to designer Deane Beman and described as built around what the publication called Triangulation Alignment, with two discs at heel and toe and an adjustable lie angle it said could be custom fit in about 2 minutes. Chicago Golf Report called the RX2's craftsmanship and flexibility a great investment for all players, and the head size it recorded, 5.5 inches, would prove to be a number the line kept returning to.
By 2015 the line had split into the RX3f, and Into the Grain's account of a week with it stressed touch over adjustability: I rolled the ball beautifully all week, most putts I rolled that week had perfect speed and most of them had a chance to go in. That emphasis on roll gave way in 2016 to a wider spread across the RX3, RX4, and RX6, each carrying its own weight and face-width figures as reported by Into the Grain, and each leaning harder into customization. Colorado Golf Blog called the 2016 RX3 easily the most customizeable putters that have ever come through the CGB headquarters, pointing to a shaft-housing adjustment it described as loosening with a 1/4 turn, while Into the Grain, weighing the same putter at over 500 grams, wrote that you can hit it anywhere on the face and still make putts. The RX6 that year pushed the face width to 6 inches per Into the Grain and added color options, and the RX4 was noted by the same outlet as looking more compact compared to the RX5 and RX6 despite its own 5.5 inch face.
The 2017 Cure RX4 carried the name into a redesign that Hackers Paradise described in terms of a higher center of gravity, lower loft, deeper face, a Spiral Milled face, and an SS Aircraft Grade Aluminum T-6061 head, still built around the T-Bar alignment and weight and lie adjustability the earlier RX models had established. Hackers Paradise summed up the family's throughline directly: it is a very customizable, forgiving putter, which aims to deliver a much more consistent putting experience than one gets with a traditional blade. That is the case reviewers made across three years and several head shapes, RX2 through the 2017 RX4, even as they diverged on whether that consistency came at the cost of feel, with the 2017 RX4 review noting less feedback than traditional blade putters against the RX2 review's praise for a smoother, more consistent stroke.
Cure's own materials describe the RX Series as the highest performing series we offer, built on an aluminum head, Precision Milled in the USA, and offered across head sizes of 5.25, 5.5, and 6 inches at a listed 259.95 USD, per cureputters.com. Across seven releases the line's identity settled around that same pitch: a mallet built to be adjusted rather than replaced, tested by outlets who largely agreed on its forgiveness and split, at times, on how much of the traditional putter it left behind in the process.

What the Community says
“There are many things to discuss when trying to describe the RX line, with the main points being that it is a very customizable, forgiving putter, which aims to deliver a much more consistent putting experience than one gets with a traditional blade.”
“At over 500 grams this putter can be a sledge hammer, but you can hit it anywhere on the face and still make putts.”
