SeeMore releases Giant FGP putter

Published

To improve on a classic, SeeMore went bigger. Much bigger.

Its new Giant FGP putter is 28 percent larger than the original FGP putter, which has been used to win two major championships and more than 20 PGA Tour events.

Zach Johnson currently uses a SeeMore FGP putter (left).

Like the original, the Giant FGP uses SeeMore’s RifleScope Alignment Technology (RST), which has a golfer “cover” the red dot on the putter head with the shaft at address to ensure proper alignment and hand position.

One of the few differences between the putters? The Giant FGP is milled from aluminum instead of steel. For that reason, it could be made larger, increasing the size of its alignment features for a better aim and making the putter more forgiving in the process.

[quote_box_center]“When putting with the Giant FGP, you are able to feel and see the putter work on the correct path with ease,” says SPi Director of Instruction and PGA Professional, Ted Gallina.[/quote_box_center]

The Giant FGP ($250) has a head weight of 365 grams and will be in stores in March 2015.

The See More FGP blade is a great putter. Unfortunately, had to take it out of the bag. Visually, it the alignment line was too distracting. Here’s why, if you look at image #4 from L to R, looking straight down at the putter you’ll notice the alignment line isn’t directly behind the shaft where the bulk of the weight is. The line is actually on top of it. When you line the putter up using the alignment line you don’t always hit it pure because the mass of the weight is 1/4 inch below the line. It drove me crazy so I contacted See More (Great people and a great company. They are very responsive to customers) and they said I was correct. They said to simply align the ball behind the shaft where the weight is (looks like a square from address) and it will putt true. It did! However, with the alignment line out of place it was too much to adjust too when playing so out the bag it came. I still have the putter and use it in my office because it is one of the best putters I own. I also decided to keep it because of loyalty to the folks at See More. They are a family business, great people and anytime I can promote or support them I do. I’m thinking of blacking out the line and trying it again. That just might do the trick.

  I have the same putter, so basically you are saying for best results use the shaft ats the sight line and not the actually sight line?

  I thought the same thing. By the way, i thought even the regular sized FGP was chunky, the Giant must be huuuuuuge.

  It is 28% larger in every dimension which gives it 2.5 times the volume.

TaylorMade goes bigger with Spider ZT Max putter

In the zero-torque putter world the TaylorMade Spider ZT has carved out a great following of golfers who love it. So TaylorMade wanted to go bigger and it did, literally. This new Spider ZT Max features a larger body that is made from aluminum to allow for heavier steel and tungsten weights to move to the perimeter. Combining the weight distribution with the larger size increases stability and the putter will reduce twisting on toe or heel impacts.

TaylorMade kept the zero-torque design the same with a shaft that inserts right near the CG location and 34mm behind the face. Placing the shaft here keeps the putter balancing with the toe up, helping keep the face pointed towards the target throughout the stroke. Each shaft is bored into the head with a 2 degree forward shaft lean to help keep that toe-up design consistent.

A unique sole design is incorporated into the putter to work with the center shaft so the putter doesn’t rock when it is soled on the green. Engineers looked at many different angles and putting strokes to make sure that the putter sits square behind the ball so alignment is easier. While you don’t see the bright white True Path alignment feature on the top of the putter, it is there in milled form. Milled lines on the top of the putter are the exact same width of a golf ball in order to help create better center face contact. The Pure Roll insert on the face is made from a combination of Surlyn and aluminum for a soft but solid feel. Forty-five degree grooves provide immediate forward roll and consistent speed on shots that don’t find the center of the putter.

Golfers can get the new Spider ZT Max in standard length, counter balanced, and in a long model. Offering the putter in these options lets players who find an alternative putting stroke better an option to get a high MOI mallet. The standard length models with get the same KBS CT 120 steel shaft as the new Spider Tour Torched putters while the CB and Long putters will get a KBS Graphite shaft that is heavier (155g & 210g). A Super Stroke Off-Axis Tour 2.0 and a Super Stroke 3.0 17″ grip are stock on these Spider ZT Max putters.

Spider ZT Max Pricing

Standard: $449.99
Counter Balanced: $499.99
Long: $549.99

TaylorMade launches Spider Tour Torched putters

TaylorMade has dominated the mallet putter market with their expansive Spider putter line over the last few years. From players on professional tours to us everyday players, you will see a lot of Spider putters in bags. For 2026 TaylorMade is updating the Spider line with the new Spider Torched series that features a new torched PVD finish and some new head shapes.

The first thing you will notice about the Spider Torched putters is the bronze color finish. This finish takes inspiration from Rory’s custom Spider that is heated with a torch to get a multi-color bronze finish. When you heat stainless steel to around 600°F to 900°F it will change to this bronze color in a process called temper color. This happens because very high temperatures cause the metal’s surface to react with oxygen in the air, creating a thin transparent layer that gradually becomes thicker over time. Instead of using the time-consuming torching process, TaylorMade went with a more durable PVD finish to get a similar look.

Rory’s TaylorMade Spider Tour X

With the new launch we get the familiar Spider Tour head shapes that we know and love with the Spider Tour and Spider Tour X. Both are offered with different hosels as well to give looks that golfers will love and influence the toe hang of the putters for fitting different putting strokes. It doesn’t stop there as TaylorMade is also giving us the new Spider Tour V and Spider Tour F shapes that offer a different look and alignment at address. All of the heads stay true to being a Spider by their high MOI design for stability and forgiveness. A sole plate with updated graphics moves weight away from the center of the club head and out to the perimeter.

“The Spider Tour putter family represents the very best of what we do at TaylorMade. Nearlytwo decades of engineering, refinement and Tour feedback have gone into building thisfamily—and this new finish brings a level of visual sophistication that matches theperformance underneath it. These are putters that belong in the hands of the best players inthe world, and they’re proving it every week.”–Andrew Oldknow, Senior DirectorProductCategory and Design

For lining up the putter we see the tried and true True Path alignment that TaylorMade has been using on Spiders for what feels like forever. This high contrast line makes it faster and easier to get the putter pointed towards your target for more accuracy. You can also see the legendary Pure Roll insert that is made from white TPU for a softer feel. Each insert contains horizontal 45 degree grooves that put more forward roll on the ball and reduce hopping and skidding. Behind the insert is a Hybrar Echo Dampener that will reduce unwanted vibrations for a softer feel and sound at impact. On the sole TaylorMade kept the TSS weights so that you can dial in the head weight in order to get the perfect feel out of your Spider Tour Torched.

All of the new Spider Torched putters are offered with a premium KBS CT 120 putter shaft that features a gloss black finish. This upgraded shaft features a stiffer feel and low toque for added stability and consistency. The stock grip is a Super Stroke Pistol 1.0 while the counter balanced models get a Super Stroke 2.0 XL grip that is longer, 13.75″, in order to grip it further down easily. A new brown head cover has a leather texture and looks really good with the brown and light blue accents on it.
