Putting is can be one of the most rewarding part of the game and can be the most disappointing part of the game. Players are realizing that one of the most important investments is in a putter because they will get the biggest return for the dollar. Why you ask? Because approximately 2/3 's of your score is on the flat plush surface we call the green. So the old saying, "Drive for Show and Putt for Dough" really means something. We can smash it down the middle of the fairway, hit all the greens in regulation, but if we can't sink even a three footer, there is no chance we will see our index drop at all. They don't give you a great handicap because you have split every fairway. You get handicaps based upon the score you post and the last, and arguably the most important, is the putt that drops in the hole. The Putter is your means to an end. Zach_Johnson_SeeMore There are so many putters to choose from when you step into a golf shop. Offset this, two-ball that, long, short, grooved, smooth....but in the end what really matters is how it feels in your hands and most importantly is that it sets up squarely to your intended target. This is a marriage and you want something you can live with and be kind to. This is where the SeeMore Putter comes in. We had the chance at Bunkers Paradise to give the SeeMore FGP USA Special Tour Putter a real run for the money. The testing was grueling on the course, in a tournament and at the practice putting green and it kicked the 'putter butt' of all others. Let's take a closer look at what makes the SeeMore Putter stand out and give you a true internal smile.   SeeMore FGP USA Special Tour Putter Technology [caption id="attachment_27562" align="aligncenter" width="740"]'Hide the Red Dot' 'Hide the Red Dot'[/caption] Rifle Scope Technology (RST) 'Hide the Red Dot' All SeeMore putters have a very unique and unprecedented technology that will allow the putter to 'Lock On' to his/her line. Each putter had a red dot just behind the bottom shaft of the putter and between two lines on the putter head. If the player 'Hides the Red Dot' by simply lining up the black bottom portion of the shaft between the two white lines and cover the signature red do on the heel of the top line, the golfer will set up more consistently every time in relation to the intended target. FGP Series Putters feature 'Face Balance' at impact: No matter the arc style you have in your putting stroke, you will see more square-to-square at impact.
With every SeeMore model, the putting stroke follows a perfect arc backward and forward where the putter releases perfectly as the it squares to the target line and on a slight upstroke, promoting a consistently perfect roll. The SeeMore RST helps the golfer stay on the perfect path throughout the stroke.
100% Milled in USA with Carbon Steel  and Stainless Steel and cast 303 stainless steel heads with precision milled faces. Center Shafted with black shaded lower portion to assist player in target alignment, squareness at address and confident stroke from start to finish.

SeeMore Putter Close

LOOK/FEEL Placing the SeeMore Putter in my hands was like finding a long lost friend. It has been a long time since I have had a putter in my hand that really feels good in my hands and good in my mind. Before my first putt, I took a long hard look at the design and how it really felt lining up a putt. It felt like a true extension of my arms and hands -- the putter felt as one with my grip and set up. What I was impressed with is the 'Rifle Scope Technology'. You see, I am not one to research any products before I get my hands on them so that I am not swayed any one way or another or have too much information so that it may take me away from how it truly looks, feels and performs. I noticed the 'Red Dot' and bold white lines perfectly positioned in relation to the shaft and it felt natural standing up and addressing the ball. I found myself  'hiding the red dot' naturally before I really knew why. Overall the look and feel was perfectly matched...like adding a new family member who you enjoy the company of. I especially like the black head and the black painted lower part of the shaft--really made me feel strong and confident over the putt. PERFORMANCE http://youtu.be/hObf9PaX1H8 Without a doubt the SeeMore FGP USA Special Tour Putter sets up squarely as they promise and I found that my overall stroke and arc improved in just a few putts. The "Refile Scope Technology' is hands down one of the best I have ever seen or had the opportunity to play with. The golf ball just rolls off the milled face without any jumping. I think that result is in part associated with a more squared-up face to the intended target from the 'Rifle Scope Technology. I was a little hesitant at first after examining the putter and seeing that it was what I call toe-weighted (balancing putter shaft on one finger and the toe of the putter head turns down). I am known for looking around for a 'face balanced' putter (one where balancing as mentioned earlier and the face is pointed to the sky). I stand corrected now as I have had great success with the SeeMore FGP USA Special Tour Putter. I played one competitive round and only had 30 putts total in 18 holes. The sound off the putter is solid and the feel in the hands is compact and effortless. The result is one of confidence building as putt after putt either dropped or just rimmed the edge. I tried all various lengths and still found the putter to react similarly and with consistent near sweet spot impact. PROS Their are a number of pros associated with the SeeMore Putter: 'Rifle Scope Technolgy'; grooved hitting area for more consistent control; solid weighted putter head; and easy to address all around from head to grip. Nicely Priced. CONS If you really are set on an off-set head, then this would not be the putter for you, but I would give it a try...it changed me. Final Thoughts This really truly is an amazing putter and I can see how SeeMore is making waves in the golf world in amateur golf and professional golf. It is so easy to set up and give you the sense that you are spot on with your target. With that kind of feeling, you can truly give the putter a nice stroke with the ball just rolling off the face and down your intended target line.   'keep smiling and always believe'
