First Full-Size, Tour-Inspired Mallet Features Tour-Proven RST Alignment System
(Franklin, TN – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE) The SeeMore Putter Company, whose putters’ performance has become legendary with the world’s best players, introduces the new tour-inspired m5 mallet putter, the first full-sized mallet putter in its new mSeries of 100% milled putters featuring the company’s patented and proven RifleScope Technology (RST) alignment system.
"The m5 is another SeeMore tour-inspired design that addresses the growing demand and requests from PGA Tour, Nationwide Tour, European Tour, PGA club professionals and top amateurs, who have been seeking a classic, full-size mallet from us,” says managing partner Jim Grundberg. “Now there is an mSeries putter featuring RST in a variety of designs to match every golfer’s personal taste in head shape and size. Each of them features SeeMore’s patented, proprietary and proven RST alignment system.”
The new m5 combines the beauty, precision, accuracy, and feel of 100% milled heads with the proprietary, patented and proven alignment benefits of SeeMore’s RifleScope Technology (RST).
The new m5, distinctively and finely handcrafted, is available in traditional and belly versions as well as left handed models.
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.
Golfers will 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.
Locking Radar On Target
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 and the AT&T Classic, a course record 60 at the season-ending Tour Championship, an undefeated run in the Walker Cup, PGA Tour leadership in birdies, 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.
“This season, we regularly and consistently hear 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.
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 SeeMore 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.”
Valuable Feedback; Continuous Improvement
“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 also includes the m1, a classic heel/toe blade with center shaft; the m2, a classic heel/toe blade with heel shaft, the m3, a classic mallet with center shaft, the m1 blade belly and m3 mallet belly and 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.
The mSeries putters feature a 100% milled 303 platinum stainless steel body. Each of the mSeries putters features its own personalized milling pattern on its jewel-like face. The mSeries putters also include a small precision milled 6061 lightweight aluminum back cavity insert, which allows for an expanded sweet spot and enhanced feel.
Head weight is 350 grams on the m5 and 390 grams on the m5 belly, which is the optimal performance weight for the belly length. Standard loft is 3.5 degrees. Standard lie angle is 70 degrees. Standard grip is a Golf Pride classic.
