Equipment Review:
SeeMore Putter Company m3w mSeries Putter
by Jeffrey Reed, Editor, LondonOntarioGolf.com

Zach Johnson’s 2007 Masters Tournament victory certainly catapulted the SeeMore Putter Company’s visibility to new heights. However, the quality of these high-performance, handcrafted flat sticks was already well known amongst touring pros. Remember Payne Stewart’s 1999 U.S. Open win? The late PGA Tour star had SeeMore’s original FGP putter in his bag en route to a record-setting putting performance.

SeeMore has unveiled the brand-new mSeries putters which once again prove this Franklin, Tennessee-headquartered company is amongst the leaders in putter technology. The new mSeries includes: the mFGP platinum, a milled replica of Johnson’s putter in a beautiful platinum satin finish; m1 blade belly, and m3 mallet belly, both offering heavier head weights designed specifically for belly-design putters at longer lengths of 41 in. to 45 in.; the m1, a classic heel/toe blade with centre shaft; m2, a classic heel/toe blade with heel shaft; mFGP, a milled version of the original used by Johnson and Stewart; m3, a classic mallet with centre shaft; and the m3w mid-size mallet.

We put the m3w to work, and instantly fell in love with the smooth stroke-inducing pendulum motion. In fact, allow me to state, as a blade putter aficionado, I am tempted to make the switch to a mallet, now that I’ve putted with the m3w from SeeMore Putter Company. This gorgeous putter boasts heel/toe weighting near centre shaft design, with a new offset shaft, a platinum finish, and of course SeeMore’s patented RifleScope Technology (RST).

With RST, it’s a breeze lining up a putt of any length or difficulty. Recognizable by its visible gun sight on the top line of the putter head, RST allows a golfer to set up the putter perfectly and repeatedly, simply 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. Think of this as locking radar onto a target. The two parallel white sight lines frame the shaft and serve as an indicator that you are in perfect position to make a consistent and reliable stroke.

I mentioned that the m3w mSeries putter is beautiful. That’s an understatement. It features a 100-per-cent milled 303 stainless steel head; lightweight milled 6061 aluminum back cavity insert for enhanced feel; 350 g head; and Golf Pride rifle-style grip. Available lengths range from 33 in. to 35 ½ in. Left hand and belly are available, too. And the Limited Edition mSeries headcover is nothing short of luxurious.

We tested the m3w mSeries putter at a variety of lengths, ranging from 3 ft. to 20 ft. This is without a doubt the best mallet-style putter we’ve tested to date, and quite clearly one of the best putters that has crossed our desk. Three-footers were a sure thing, and 20-footers were no longer intimidating. And here’s my favourite part of the m3w mSeries putter: feedback once the pill rolls is amongst the best we’ve ever tested. It’s “solid, crisp and silky,” just as SeeMore says. Plus, with MOI the big buzz phrase in the golf world these days, the m3w makes a lot of sense. Even miss-hits were corrected. Listen, putting is never a sure thing, but the m3w mid-size mallet almost made putting as easy as taking candy from a baby.

If you are in the market for a mid-size mallet putter, or even looking to make a change in order to putt for dough, I highly recommend the m3w mSeries putter from SeeMore Putter Company. One stroke will demonstrate the perfect arc promoted by this top-notch flat stick, which enhances the popular inside to square to inside putting style, preferred by so many of today’s top touring pros.
