The Record
Written from the sources it cites · machine-drafted for the Community to correctThe Original FGP Blade is a two-chapter record so far, and the throughline is the RifleScope Technology alignment system that both editions carry: hagginoaks.com's write-up of the Bronze edition and seemore.com.au's page on the PVD Classic Series both list RST as the defining feature, along with a face balanced at impact and balanced to the plane. That consistency across sources, years apart, suggests the shape and the alignment philosophy have stayed put even as the finish changed hands between write-ups.
The Bronze edition is the version with the résumé. Hagginoaks.com calls it the most recognizable design from SeeMore, a winner of three Major Championships and, in that outlet's words, regarded as one of the greatest putter designs of all time by many golf historians. That same source describes the head in bronze, brush gold PVD coating, on a straight, center shaft design, and notes far less manipulation during the stroke needed, a claim that ties directly back to the RST alignment system rather than standing alone.
The PVD Classic Series carries the name forward with its own accounting from seemore.com.au, which calls the Original FGP Blade very accurate and forgiving and repeats the line that it is SeeMore's most recognizable design. Where the Bronze edition's page leans on championship pedigree, the PVD Classic Series page leans on spec detail, depth of flange at 1.20 inches, face depth at 1.09 inches, a cast 303 stainless steel face, face balanced at impact confirmed again. The performance language shifts from historical weight to on-course accuracy, but no source in either camp disputes the other's account of the shape or the alignment system underneath it.
Read together, the two editions look less like a redesign and more like the same idea reissued under a different coat. The bronze finish and the PVD classic treatment sit on top of a blade that both outlets independently describe as face balanced, RST equipped, and built around the same center shaft geometry. Whatever separates them lives in finish and in which claims each publication chose to foreground, not in the bones of the putter itself.
