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.

Toulon Golf collaborates with Valhalla Golf Club for latest Small Batch putter

Published

GolfWRX Staff

Toulon Golf has today officially announced its latest Small Batch putter — the Valhalla.

Discussing the putter, Preston Toulon of Toulon Golf said: “This putter is a collaboration with the club at Valhalla and incorporates three of the many things that make the state of Kentucky great – horseracing, bourbon and championship golf. The head of the putter and headcover have several allusions to a jockey’s silk and there are thoroughbreds on the sole.”

Inspired by Toulon’s classic tri-sole Santa Monica design, the company sought to modernize the profile and design leveraging its 904 stainless steel and 6061 aircraft aluminium across the sole. Toulon describes the Valhalla’s profile as “slightly oversized blade whose proportions are meticulously balanced to maintain the look and feel of the Santa Monica, while increasing the putter’s inertia to create one of the most forgiving putters we have ever designed.”

Throughout numerous prototypes, Toulon paid particular attention to the L-neck, with its full shaft of offset, adding a bit of length for better blending with the slightly wider and longer blade.

On the rear of the putter are homages to horse racing in the form of jockey silk diamonds and Churchill Downs-inspired font.

The sole of the putter features a large cavity covered by a 6061 aircraft aluminum sole plate. According to Toulon, this allowed for the addition length to the putter and improved inertia as well as moving more mass to the perimeter for greater forgiveness.

In another nod to Valhalla, Toulon uses a milled watermarked limestone pattern, a reference to stone featured widely on the property.

As with all the Toulon Small Batch putters, the team paid particular attention to the topline thickness and radius to achieve a desired look. “Soft yet crisp was the design intent,” according to the company.
