SeeMore Mini Giant HTx Review

For a company that is so intrinsically tied to a single piece of technology, SeeMore Putters has steadily grown their catalog of options over the years. Of course, the technology we mention is called Rifle Scope Technology (RST). By now, most of us should be very familiar with RST and “Hide the Red Dot”, a system that encourages consistency in aiming, setup, and the putting stroke. The original SeeMore putter, the FGP, is impossible not to recognize. It’s a Tour proven design, and it did inspire an offshoot or two, but golfers have varying tastes and needs. The company had to find a way to incorporate RST into different head shapes, hosel designs, and eventually into high MOI putters.

The Mini Giant series is an example of how SeeMore is approaching the challenge of building high MOI putters. The line’s initial offerings were both based off the FGP design, but in early 2024 the company bolstered the line with three new head shapes. One of them, The Mini Giant HTX, is based on the very familiar and popular fanged mallet, and it’s been the source of much excitement on the THP forums. Can the HTX blend what we love about this head shape with all the benefits we’ve come to expect from SeeMore? Read on to find out.

Like the rest of the Mini Giant line, the HTX is made from 100% milled aluminum. That may raise an eyebrow or two, as we are much more familiar with milled putters being made of stainless steel, but there’s a good reason for this choice. First, using a lighter metal like aluminum allows the HTX to come in at a comfortable 360g head weight (with an additional 10g allocated to the internal hosel). Stainless steel mallets often require the inclusion of a secondary material like aluminum to reduce weight. The Mini Giant HTX actually uses this concept in the inverse. The lightweight aluminum is coupled with milled copper inserts in key locations, allowing SeeMore to place mass in strategic places that increase both stability and MOI. Copper is over three times denser than the aluminum it replaces, so the copper inserts have an immediate and tangible effect on weight distribution.

RELEASE - 3 NEW SeeMore mini Giant models in Mini Giant Series

2024 - 3 NEW mini Giants models

For 2024, SeeMore is expanding upon its most successful new product launch of the past decade, adding 3 new models to the Mini Giant line up.  The Mini Giant is SeeMore’s flagship game improvement series, using the optimal combination of materials in a 100 percent USA Milled head to provide greater stability, improved feel, a larger sweet spot, and consistent roll and distance control. Mini Giant putters also feature a proprietary .460 tip shaft designed by True Temper in combination with SeeMore to provide best in class stability and enhanced RSTThe new models introduced for 2024 are the Mini Giant HTX, the Mini Giant Curve Back, and the Mini Giant MDX. 
 
SeeMore Putter Company has been an industry leader for 25 years when it comes to innovation and improvement in putting through use of its proprietary RifleScope Technology (RST) alignment system. By hiding the red dot behind the shaft at address, golfers of all skill levels improve the consistency of their aim, setup, and stroke, leading to saved strokes on the greens, lower scores, and more fun.  The New Mini Giant models all feature enhanced RifleScope Technology.
 
SeeMore’s signature straight, center shaft putter designs all have the game changing benefit of RST’s perfect alignment assistance.  
 
"For 25 years, SeeMore has been the clear market leader in straight, center shaft design putters, as well as the market leader in simple, repeatable alignment, and each of these trends are now finally enjoying a strong resurgence in the market and on tour," stated Jim Grundberg, SeeMore CEO. "SeeMore is the gold standard for center shaft putting!"
 
Jim Grundberg, SeeMore CEO, said that “SeeMore is thrilled to introduce these 3 new models in 2024, offering golfers of all skill levels the best combination of feel, forgiveness, and precision alignment in SeeMore’s range.” 
 
Grundberg adds that “the new Mini Giant models, along with the already proven Mini Giant Deep Flange and Mini Giant FGP, have the ability to take every player’s putting game to the next level. The slightly oversize designs with an oversize shaft tip are created to be significantly more stable through the stroke and at impact, while also featuring SeeMore’s proprietary alignment system to keep the face square to the target line at all times.”
 
They are 100 percent milled in the USA of high grade aluminum, with heavier copper weights strategically placed around the perimeter for optimal size, feel, forgiveness, balance, and roll. The Mini Giant series putters retail for $400.
 
Ted Gallina, SeeMore PGA Instructor, says that top instructors and fitters for years have found that SeeMore putters help their students and clients eliminate variables such as an inconsistent forward press, bad posture at address, and a poor set up and alignment to the ball.  Gallina states that "SeeMore’s RifleScope technology is simple and intuitive, like liking radar on a target.  Or like shooting a free throw in basketball.”  Simplifying the putting stroke leads to more made putts. 
 
Brandon Choate, SeeMore’s Director of Fitting & Coaching, says that “Almost every single golfer could benefit immediately from a properly fit SeeMore putter, because every golfer can improve their setup, stroke, and aim using SeeMore’s RifleScope Technology.” Choate adds that "the Mini Giants feel as if they are swinging themself.  The high moment of inertia (MOI = forgiveness) created by having heavier weight copper on the perimeter of a lighter weight aluminum body keeps them more stable and square at all times during the stroke, leading to better putting."
 
The new Mini Giant HTX is the ultimate combination of feel and forgiveness in a shape that many golfers believe gives them extra confidence.  The Mini Giant HTX features extreme heel and toe and back end weighting for incredible stability in a back rail mallet design, with 6 heavier milled copper weights embedded into a 100% milled body of pure 6061 aircraft aluminum.  
 
The new Mini Giant HTX is very stable and smooth, and sits behind the ball in a very confident, inspiring way, with great feel and balance. The putter feels like it literally swings itself on the perfect plane, staying square to the target line throughout the stroke.
 
The Mini Giant MDX brings SeeMore’s popular squared off mid mallet shape (inspired by SeeMore’s original FGP mallet design) to the oversize game improvement Mini Giant series, in a fresh and exciting look that will appeal to golfers who love the simple and forgiving look and alignment of a mid to full mallet design.  
 
The Mini Giant Curve Back incorporates all of the benefits of the Mini Giant technology, in a shape and design that has already been recognized as best in class for its tremendous performance by players who have tested it pre market launch.  The Mini Giant Curve Back is the perfect blend of the precise look that those golfers who typically prefer blades enjoy, along with enhanced heel and toe weighting and alignment features that make it much more than just a blade.  The Mini Giant Curve Back is closely inspired by SeeMore’s best selling Mini Giant Deep Flange model.
 
There is now a Mini Giant shape that will appeal to all golfers.
 
Background on the evolution of the Mini Giant putters:
In 2015, SeeMore started the Giant series, in which the flagship putter head, the Original FGP, was dramatically enlarged to give it more stability while keeping the characteristics of SeeMore's RifleScope Technology.  Since the inception of the Original Giant FGP, SeeMore has taken feedback from TOUR players, top global instructors and insiders to improve upon the Giant FGP.  While the Giant FGP was incredibly stable and forgiving, the extra large size was overwhelming to most players. Hence the mini Giant series was born. By incorporating more and more copper into the milled aluminum frame, SeeMore’s engineers were able to find the perfect size, with the perfect balance, and the perfect feel.  
 
SeeMore Facts
