Guys I really cant say enough how great of a job you all are doing in here. Buck that was a awesome thing of your mom to do and a fantastic writeup! I really want to roll a SeeMore in such a bad way!

I'm glad you guys are testing these right now. Last year, I really followed the thread that was going on. I happened to review a Seemore right around that time and spent quite a bit of time throwing myself into the O'Brien method. I felt like it made me a better putter, but as time went on I sort of just quit focusing on it. Some things stayed for me, like the upright posture and grip, but other things really didn't. Regardless of that, the thread was really inspirational to me in many ways.
Fast forward to a couple weeks ago and my instructor tells me to forward press more to get a firmer lead wrist. I'm always desperate to fix something, so I practiced it. Truth be told, it worked fine, especially with keeping my wrist firm. The problem was that I felt like I had to open my shoulders up and it felt like I was really tense. Then I read Buck's little write-up and he's talking about forward press and the inconsistencies that it introduces. Then I see Jman swinging a medicine ball around, which is something I've done for my full swing with some good results. Long story short, I'm going to stick with something I know that works. It only took me about 30 minutes inside and 45 minutes on the putting green to feel like I was a lot more neutral and putting a nice roll on the ball the way that I was last year.
Rolled it pretty good today to the tune of 31 putts, including a good number in that 5-10 foot range that I don't make many of. For a guy that usually calls 34-35 a good day, that's pretty damn good. On top of that, my speed was really good all day. Rock those shoulders! I even took a few pretend medicine ball strokes before setting up to get the feel I wanted. I suppose it's all because of you guys and the interaction Seemore has with this forum, so thanks for the hard work!
Nice review Jman. I am dying to get out and roll this thing on a real green.
What a great writeup Jman. I find myself learning quite a bit in here.
Hawk that is an awesome post. I sort of did the same thing but obviously I'm a tester in this thread but I don't yet have my new seeMore. So instead of rolling my old putter I decided to get out an old SeeMore to start getting into the feeling of using the RST and the O'brien method of putting. I rolled about 5 putts on the green and then hit the course for my round. While I played much better today and had 17 putts I was really happy with the SeeMore. My two three putts were from a mile away and with it being my first time out with a SeeMore in forever I'm pretty happy with how the round went. Rolled in some awesome putts and when I missed it was always close with tap ins coming back. Can't wait for the new M series to show up.
i learned a long time ago with my job you should train like its the real thing cause when you need to do things under pressure you will be better served to do it better under stress and stuff if you practiced or trained like it will be out on the street. I have really tried to do that with my training and practice in golf especially more lately than ever before. I personally and this isn't saying anyone else is doing it wrong or anything you should do whatever works for you, but i go through my routine for every putt i take on the practice green, warm up before a round and on the course that i am trying to make fall into the cup
i will use the alignment aid on my ball to line that up with my intended line that i want the putt to start on. I have never really used the alignment aid on a ball before just used a spot on the green
I was coming in here to write my review and ran across the wordsmith better known as Jman. Yet another nicely thought out and well worded review. This is testing 101 in its best form.
Your closing thoughts are along the lines of what I am opening with, I'll expand in my review. I have a question for you. I know that you are committed to changing the way you putt, mentally and physically. Is that because you feel that is the only way you'll get the most out of this testing? You want to be a better putter (which you mentioned) or do you belive in this new methos you were taught? Or is it a combination of all or something I failed to list. I am curious and I know becoming a better putter is obvious but it was on my check list while I practiced and tested today.
Buck that was one solid arse write up man. Really got me pondering my whole putting routine too. Yesterday while rolling my hoarded SeeMore I did much the same thing. Set up, practice strokes, final set up to the ball and one last look at the hole. I holed more putts yesterday then I can remember in quite some time. What I liked the most was beside the really long lag putts that I struggled with everything from 20' and in scared the hole. SeeMore makes putts.
I fully get this. Like I said in yesterdays review post, pace is still one of my issued right now with all of the change I've undergone, but Saturday there were a couple long ones that when I rocked my shoulders for the stroke and got the pace right just scared the hole and really seemed like you could see that they were tracking. Things like that are what excite the heck out of me to keep working on it.
