Watch listed it this morning
Well now that I know you are all watching it I'll let it go. Usually I go all in on eBay when I find something like this. #mustwinauctions
FGP
FGP
I just went thru this. There are indeed painted bronze fgp putters! From all the pictures I have seen if the engraving on the bottom of the putter says "The Seemore FGP" it is a bronze head; where the stainless ones say "Seemore FGP".
From what I can find on Google there was a series of putters that they put out for a while that were bronze putters painted black; except for the face.
You should be able to look at the face, and if it does not look like stainless steel the it is probably a bronze putter. The bronze ones can patina on the face, but if you see any hint of yellow undertones in the color I bet it is bronze. Also any chips in the paint will show a faint yellow to them if it is bronze.
I also think that most of the bronze putters had a smooth face, while the stainless has milling on the face. I could be wrong on this as there are lot of special models, but most I have seen hold to this.
This info is only from my observations and experience, and someone with more experience may chime in.
My bronze FGP is hanging in the garage now and needs another coat of paint!

This morning!??? Slacker
Same here. I don't mind crushing the hopes and dreams of the general public, but not THP'rs.

Yeah it is one of those. What would be the difference in feel relative to steel.

You're going to get a much different sound out of it at impact which leads to a different feel. Its a higher pitch IMO. I like the feeling, but its definitely different.
I had no idea what you were talking about this past weekend. Now I know, and glad you confirmed your suspicion.Well that confirms it. I'm not insane!

Maybe it wasn't the bermuda after all!!! hahahahaha!
Just changes a lot about the stroke when you add weight like that right into the tip of the shaft. Helps some, hurts others -- I'll be pumped to get this back into play without the spud to see how much it compares to my PR. Hopefully it's close.
I'd say between those, depends if you prefer an insert or not. I spent a _lot_ of time rolling various SeeMores at golf galaxy, and the FGP and PTM were my favorites there - using the FGP mallet now. I really want to try one of the models with the tri-sole, because that's one of the things I love about the other putter I use regularly.
If the MA folks get together at some point before snow falls, I'll make sure I bring the FGP with me.

Thanks, I might have to take a trip up to the golf galaxy, I haven't seen any at the Golfsmith by my house. If we do get together, I will definitely take you up on rolling a few putts with it.

As promised, a little putter porn from my hotel room in Columbus, GA
Cover you eyes Dan! Based on my hotel room carpet rolling the last 4 nights, I am thinking this beauty may be kicking the m7 out of the bag. Looks, feels, sounds and rolls like a dream!

I was going to re-glue the M7 head, but now it's chilling like a paperweight on my desk and I've been looking at it all day.. Kind of enjoying the scene.
Debating getting a unique shaft to put into the head. Hard ponders are here.

Yup. Something talked about a good bit in a review somewhere...
In all seriousness though, one of my favorite aspects about them. Big believer int he tri sole.
