SEEMORE INTRODUCES FIRST OFFSET MSERIES PUTTERS WITH WHISTLE SHAFT
Proprietary Offset Shaft Delivers Putting
System to Players With
Hands Forward Address
(Franklin, TN -) The SeeMore Putter Company;
capitalizing on the exciting 2007 re-launch of the brand, a
dramatic Masters victory and successful introduction of its new
100% milled mSeries; now introduces its first offset
models of the
mSeries, featuring the new, proprietary
"Whistle" shaft precisely
designed and engineered to perform with its proprietary putting
system for the growing group of golfers who prefer their hands
forward at address.
The Whistle is a new shaft with a simple bend that maintains the
alignment and performance integrity of the SeeMore
putting system
-- its patented RifleScope Technology (RST) alignment
system on the
putter head and the black bottom portion of the shaft - for a hands
slightly forward address. The original straight shaft versions of
the mSeries putters, as well as the original FGP
putters, are
designed to have a golfer place his hands in line with the eyes and
with the putter head.
As a result of the Whistle design, golfers will still enjoy the
multiple proprietary benefits of RST: the guarantee that the hands
will be in the same place each and every time, the confidence that
the putter head will be perfectly square to the intended target
line at address and at impact, and the ability to groove a perfect
pendulum putting stroke modeled after most of the best players in
the world.
"We spent a significant amount of research, design and engineering
time and resources consulting with the world's best golfers to
develop a proprietary shaft and design that would satisfy them and
preserve the benefits of the proven and proprietary SeeMore
putting
system," says Jim Grundberg, managing partner
and co-owner of the
SeeMore Putter Company. "We expect that the new mSeries putters,
with the offset "Whistle" shaft, will grow our brand with the
increasing number of golfers, tour players and avid amateurs alike,
who value SeeMore's RST but prefer to have their
hands slightly
ahead of the ball."
This new mSeries features the beauty, precision,
accuracy, and feel
of 100% milled heads with distinctive hand craftsmanship. The
putters appeal to players' personal putting preferences and styles
and include these new models:
m1w - slightly back of center shaft blade with offset shaft and RST
alignment system
m2w - heel shaft blade with offset shaft and RST system
m3w - between center and heel shaft mid size mallet with offset
shaft and RST alignment system
m5w - between center and heel shaft full size mallet with offset
shaft and RST alignment system
The patented RST, known by a visible gun sight on the top line,
allows the golfer to set up the putter perfectly each and every
time in relation to the intended target line. This is accomplished
by lining up the black bottom portion of the shaft between two
white lines and covering a signature red dot on the heel of the top
line. The process is like locking radar onto a target. The two
parallel white sight lines frame the shaft and serve as an
indicator that the golfer is in perfect position to make a
consistent and reliable stroke.
SeeMore originally became recognized when Payne
Stewart won the
1999 U.S. Open playing a SeeMore putter. Stewart
one-putted the
last three holes to win the championship by one stroke. He sunk
what's considered to be the longest putt in Open history on the
18th hole to win the tournament. Stewart also won the overall
putting title for fewest putts per round over the entire 1999
season.
The brand was re-launched with the new mSeries of
putters in
January, and immediately regained worldwide prominence as Zach
Johnson used a SeeMore FGP to win the 2007 Masters.
The company's
other breakthrough 2007 accomplishments including wins at the
Scandinavian Masters, the AT&T Classic, a course record 60 at the
Tour Championship, and two victories on the Duramed
Futures Tour.
SeeMore also is the putter of choice for the tour's
best putter
among the top 50 on the 2006 money list and Ryder Cup player --
Vaughn Taylor.
Deadly Precise Putters, Perfectly Promotes Pendulum Style Putting
"In our re-launched season, we regularly and consistently heard
from golfers of all skill levels that they have improved their
putting performance by using our deadly precise putters. Most
importantly, they like that a SeeMore putter provides
a continuous
feedback system to monitor the progress of their putting
performance," says Grundberg. "We're proud
that our new offset
design with Whistle shaft offers this benefit to golfers who have
their hands slightly forward at address."
With every SeeMore model, the putting stroke follows
a perfect arc
backward and forward where the putter releases perfectly as the
putter 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.
The mSeries putters with RST also perfectly promote
and enhance the
popular pendulum-style (inside to square to inside) putting stroke
favored by many of the best players in the world. In this stroke,
the golfer places his hands and the putter head directly below his
eyes at set up and turns his shoulders, holding a triangle through
the stroke.
"The mSeries putters also provide valuable
feedback during practice
sessions that enables a golfer to establish his own system for
continuous improvement. This is accomplished when the golfer steps
away from a putt and takes a practice stroke," says Grundberg.
"In
a perfect pendulum stroke, the red dot will be covered at all times
and the shaft will be lined up between the two white lines."
The mSeries in addition to the new Whistle shaft
line, includes the
m1, a classic heel/toe blade with near center shaft; the m2, a
classic heel/toe blade with heel shaft, the m3, a classic mid size
mallet with between center and heel shaft, and the m5, a classic
full size mallet with between and center and heel shaft. Also the
mFGP black and platinum milled tribute versions of
the original FGP
putter used by Zach Johnson to win the Masters and by Payne Stewart
to win the U.S. Open. And the m1, m3, and m5 are available in
belly versions.
