The Record
Written from the sources it cites · machine-drafted for the Community to correctThe Giant FGP arrived in 2015 as a scaled-up take on SeeMore's flagship shape, with golfrange.org and other outlets describing it as 28 percent larger than a standard FGP on each dimension. The record holds a depth of 1.6 inches, a face height of 1.4 inches, and a head weight reported as 365 grams up to over 400 grams counterbalanced, figures corroborated across golfrange.org, thehackersparadise.com, and ottawagolfblog.com. Thehackersparadise.com adds that the head carries extreme heel and toe weighting via milled stainless steel weights, and puts the volume at 2.5 times a standard milled FGP. MSRP is recorded at 250 USD.
The alignment approach draws on SeeMore's RST system, though outlets vary in how they name it: buffalogolfer.com and golfrange.org call it RST Technology or RifleScope Alignment Technology, while thehackersparadise.com and ottawagolfblog.com tie it specifically to the oversize top-line markings and, in thehackersparadise.com's account, the oversize shaft diameter as well. Balance is described consistently, if not identically, as face balanced at impact or to the plane of the stroke.
Reviewer reaction leaned favorable on feel and forgiveness. Ottawagolfblog.com called it easier to align, more forgiving, better balanced, and feels great, and thehackersparadise.com singled out the one to ten foot range as where the Giant FGP showed its highest value in testing. SPi's Ted Gallina, quoted by golfrange.org, said the larger head maintains the simple benefits of the FGP while enhancing the feeling of Face Balance to Impact. Against that, the Community notes flag stroke quality deteriorating slightly as distance increased, weighting feeling off on notably slower greens for some golfers, and a larger head that takes time to get used to. Buffalogolfer.com frames the FGP shape itself as SeeMore's most recognizable product, calling it the winning putter of 3 Major Championships and over 20 Tour victories, a claim made about the line rather than this specific release.
