Vault 002 General

The Rife Vault 002 General sits within the Vault 002 edition, and what we hold on it comes entirely from golfalot.com's reporting rather than from Rife's own materials or a hands-on review of ours. According to golfalot.com, the General was designed for enhanced forgiveness and alignment, a mission statement borne out in its shape: the publication describes two long wings stretching back from the toe and heel to help increase MOI and stability, paired with Roll Groove faces for the strike itself.

On alignment, golfalot.com notes three white lines working in tandem with Rife's "T" alignment aid, which tracks with the forgiveness and alignment brief the publication assigns to the head. The loft is reported at 2 degrees, and golfalot.com places the price under £100, positioning the General as an accessible entry within the Vault 002 line rather than a premium piece.

Set against whatever else the Vault 002 edition contains, the General reads as the forgiveness-forward option, built wide and aided rather than compact or blade-like. That positioning comes from a single outlet's account, not from Rife directly, so it should be weighed as one publication's read on the putter rather than a settled fact about it.
