SeeMore Putter Co. introduces new FGP and FGP2 Stainless series

Franklin, Tenn. -- The SeeMore Putter Company introduces its beautiful
new 100% made in the USA SeeMore FGP Stainless series, enhancing the design and construction of the putter that won two major championships with the FGP Stainless blade and featuring the first mallet under the FGP name, the FGP2 Stainless mallet. The FGP and FGP2 Stainless putters feature SeeMore's proprietary RifleScope Technology (RST) alignment system.

The new FGP Stainless series features the improved material of 303 stainless steel casting which then undergoes a four- part milling process for precision and beauty. The putters in the series feature a rich, durable proprietary metal fusion coating in black satin or nickel satin finish. All putters in the new series also offer an offset version with the proprietary SeeMore whistle (w) shaft, the first time offset
has ever been offered by SeeMore in an FGP style putter.

"The new FGP Stainless series is an enhancement to the design, construction and materials of the original FGP that features our proven and proprietary RST alignment system," says Jim Grundberg, Co-Owner and Managing Director of SeeMore Putter Company. "It adopts the look and feel of the putter that won two major championships.

"We are really excited about the introduction of the new mid-size FGP2 mallet, which we expect to appeal to golfers who love their FGP blade and want the similar feel and balance in a mallet," says Grundberg. "We also anticipate that many new golfers will be excited to benefit from the SeeMore RST milled technology in a mallet selling for under $200. The FGP2 mallet will appeal to all these SeeMore fans because it delivers enhanced feedback, a consistent roll and tremendous balance during the putting stroke."

The eight new putters in the FGP and FGP2 Stainless series include:

• FGP Stainless in a straight near center shaft, black satin and nickel satin finish.
• FGPw Stainless offset near center shaft, black satin and nickel satin finish.
• FGP2 Stainless mallet with straight near center shaft, black satin and nickel satin finish.
• FGP2w Stainless offset near center shaft, black satin and nickel satin finish.

The whistle (w) shaft maintains the alignment and performance integrity of the SeeMore putting system for golfers wishing to have their hands forward at address and still realize the benefits of SeeMore's patented RifleScope Technology (RST) alignment system.

The new SeeMore FGP and FGP2 Stainless putters will be available for $185 in February 2009. The series comes with the proprietary SeeMore 2 tone chrome and black shaft and the proprietary black SeeMore Feeltec grip. Like all SeeMore putters, the new FGP Stainless putters may be custom fit and custom built in any length, lie, grip, or head style and shipped in 48 hours from SeeMore's headquarters in Franklin, TN. SeeMore putters are available for purchase from fine golf shops and direct from SeeMore.

Studio Time at SeeMore Putter Company

With the start of the 2009 PGA Tour season under way, we have been very busy at the studio seeing as many players as possible.  We had a Nationwide Tour  player, Gary Christian, stop by this morning.  He is one of many players who have scheduled time in our studio.  Here at the studio we use the TOMI System.  It gives us the right amount of information without overloading the player.

"TOMI is the only personalized putting training device that captures the critical parameters of your putting stroke in real-time. From this data, TOMI can instantly tell you what you need to do to dramatically improve your putting."   

We worked with Gary for a few hours this morning from his alignment to his stroke path of the putter.  After analyzing his putting stroke with the putter that he brought and with ours, we learned that his stroke was more consistent with a m1 belly.  By using the information from the TOMI and then working on his fundamentals of putting, Gary saw how the SeeMore system can work to improve his putting.

This studio time is available to anyone.  With the growing number of participants, appointments are needed.  If you wish you can contact myself at ted@seemore.com or call 800-985-8170 to inquire more information.  The studio fee is $75.

Good Luck to Gary and feel free to track his progress on the Nationwide Tour for the 2009 year.  We wish him all the success.

PGA Tour News - Pat O'Brien and ZJ

PGA TOUR  is off and running.  WOW!!! What a start to the new year! Hoping all of you are having a great new year.  We at SeeMore are having one.  We wanted to include you in all of our TOUR news for the 2009 season.

Below is an excerpt taken from his most recent post.  

Zach Johnson

One of the most special things about working with Zach is being part of such an incredible team.  I have so much respect for Mike Bender, his swing coach, Morris Pickens, his mental coach, and Chris Noss, his trainer.  We all are on the same page with Zach and we truly enjoy spending time together.

Last fall, during Zach's hiatus from the Tour, Mike and I worked on Zach getting his shaft angle more neutral at set up both his long game and putting.  It was easier to change them both at the same time in that set up tendencies usually carry over into both parts of the game. Through looking at some video from a few years back, Zach was finally convinced that the shaft and his spine had been tilted too much to the right.

What a RUN by Zach!!!!

Post by Jim Grundberg

What a great victory and great run for Zach.  As always loved  watching the Sony on TV last night.  Love the Golf Channel  and what they have brought to golf on television.  Amazing coverage.  Great pre Game.  Great coverage of full event wire to wire.  Then full coverage of post game.  Like watching the NFL , but better.  Watched the Arizona Cardinals  for underdog story, but prime time golf kept the AFC title game out of our house entirely.  The dual between Zach Johnson, David Toms, Adam Scott, Charles Howell III, and others was great drama.  They all played great, but Zach really showed amazing composure in holding steady with a few bad breaks.  Nobody lost the tournament.  The leaders all played fantastic.  Zach simply went out and won it.  Great putting by all the guys down the stretch, but Zach was  just dialed in with only 26 putts Saturday and then again 26 putts on Sunday.  He has now won 2 events of his last 6, with 4 top 10's.  He has shot 69 under par net in his last 6 events.  And he has now won 4 events in last 22 months including a major, and a couple of  seconds to world #1 as well.  I think he is still an under rated  force in golf.

Pat O'Brien - Three Putting Myths Shot Down - www.golfdigest.com

Happy New Year.  What an incredible few years I have had working with players from Zach Johnson to Vaughn Taylor (and many others) on the PGA Tour, to so many great college players, mini tour players, and simply avid golfers who have traveled from near and far to meet with me here at Lakewood Country Club in Dallas.  And now to kick off 2009, Golf Digest has featured my simple putting theories in a 4 page article (pages 90-93 February 2009 Golf Digest, on sale now), called simply Three Putting Myths Shot Down.  A link to the Golf Digest article online follows below.  My teachings are all about bringing simple, repeatable fundamentals into the putting stroke.  I will talk a lot more about that in future blogs over the next few weeks, but for now enjoy the article from Golf Digest!  Would love to hear your comments.  And may 2009 be a great putting year for you as you chase your own personal goals.  Pat

Three Putting Myths Shot Down

by Pat O'Brien with Matthew Rudy source: Golf Digest.com 

Back in the day, golf course superintendents didn't have access to the agronomy techniques we do now. Greens were slower, so you needed to pop the ball pretty aggressively to get it up and moving.  Green conditions have changed since the 1950s, but the same putting principles are commonly taught, and they don't promote the more flowing stroke you need today.  Break the three myths shown here to take the hand action out of your stroke, and you'll make more putts.

'Grip it in the Lifeline'  - Instead: hold it in your fingers.  If you had to have surgery, would you want the surgeon to hold the scalpel in the palm or fingers?  If you follow the age-old advice about placing the putter grip along your lifeline, you not only rob yourself of feel, but you encourage a rotation of your left forearm under your right.  This affects your aim and prevents you from moving the putter on an arc. 

The fingers are where you feel is, and if you grip the putter in them, anchored under the pad at the base of your left palm, you have more leverage and control of your putter.  Your left and right thumbs should line up on the top of the putter grip.  From this position, your forearms are parallel to the target line, and your wrists are less likely to break down.
