SeeMore is a brand with a rich history, famously used by major champions like Payne Stewart and Zach Johnson. Despite its proven success, it remains a somewhat underrated choice among everyday golfers. They have now introduced the SeeMore Mini Giant HTX Putter which is a fresh take on mallet design. Here’s how it performed in our full SeeMore Mini Giant HTX putter review…

SeeMore Mini Giant HTX Putter Review: First Impressions

Mallet design

The SeeMore Mini Giant HTX Putter immediately caught my eye with its Fang-style mallet design and distinct RifleScope Technology. From my first glance, I knew it was clear that this putter is built with alignment and stability in mind.

Balance

Its sleek black finish and copper-weighted fangs give it a unique aesthetic that feels both modern and classic. Picking it up, the balance is apparent, and it sits squarely behind the ball, promoting confidence before even making a stroke.

NCG Verdict

Short putts

During testing, I found the Mini Giant HTX particularly impressed on short putts. The RST alignment system made it incredibly easy for me to set up confidently over the ball, which I definitely think helped deliver consistent accuracy from three to eight feet.

Additionally, the centre-shafted design, combined with the balanced weight distribution, work to instil confidence during critical moments on the green.

RifleScope Technology – can you see the red dot?

In terms of tech, one of the standout features of the Mini Giant HTX is SeeMore’s patented RifleScope Technology. This alignment system consists of two white lines and a red dot situated on the heel side of the top line. The concept is simple yet powerful. When you set up correctly, the shaft hides the red dot, ensuring the putter face is square to the target. This immediate feedback turns the putter into more than just a club, it virtually becomes a training aid in its own right.

Weighting

The Mini Giant HTX is a centre-shafted, Fang-style mallet that distributes weight towards the perimeter, enhancing its forgiveness. This design choice makes it forgiving on off-center strikes, a common issue for many golfers.

In addition, SeeMore has included copper weights strategically placed in the heel and toe sections, promoting better stability and reducing face twisting on mishits.

The grooved milling on the face delivers a smooth, true roll and I think what is a satisfying sound at impact. The ball seemed to glide off the face with minimal skidding, setting it on its intended line right away.

Long putts

Long putts, however, exposed some drop-off in ball speed on toe strikes. Although the copper weights help mitigate the effect, I still thought it was noticeable, particularly on faster greens.

Final Verdict

Alignment feedback

Overall, I think the SeeMore Mini Giant HTX is a well-rounded putter that stands out due to its alignment technology and thoughtful design. While it may still have some slight drop-off on toe hits during long putts, its overall forgiveness, combined with the RifleScope alignment system, makes it an excellent choice.

SeeMore, as a brand, I think are somewhat under-appreciated but I love them. I would go as far as saying I’d opt for them over L.A.B if I was in need of a putter refresh.

About the author

Callaway Epic Max driver review
Jack Backhouse

A member of the PGA for 13 years, Jack has lived golf for more than half his life. Inspired by Tiger Wood’s winning putt at the 2008 US Open, an obsession began with watching slow motion golf swings on the internet and reading What’s In The Bag articles in magazines.

Not destined for a life behind the desk in a pro shop, Jack has focussed more on coaching, working closely with regional teams in North Yorkshire and helping golfers of all levels on their journey to enjoying playing the game more. Jack has coached many junior golfers into the county teams, and once worked with a player at the 2018 Open Championship at Carnoustie.

After letting his game fall apart prior to COVID, Jack rediscovered his love for playing golf after joining Silloth Golf Club in 2020 and whipping round the windy, firm links course. Playing regularly with a half set of clubs he has a passion for shot making and developing skill, and claims to have the sharpest 30-100 yard game in the North of England (only because he doesn’t know anyone in the South), and now maintains a +1 handicap at a club much closer to home, Sand Moor GC.

Jack has always tinkered with his equipment, once building his own Frankenstein one length set of clubs after watching Bryson DeChambeau burst onto the scene after winning the US Amateur. He firmly believes in getting custom fit and is happy to debate anyone about blade irons being superior to any other iron category.

Jack loves: playing quickly, 2 ball golf, match play, heathland courses, pencil bags, foursomes, Tiger Wood’s swing 2005-2009.

Jack hates: buggies, unnecessary trees, giving shots, the 7 iron loft debate, graphite shaft lovers weird superiority complex.

What’s In Jack’s Bag:

Titleist TSR2 Driver

Titleist TSR2 Fairway wood

TaylorMade P7MB 3-P

Titleist SM10 wedges

TaylorMade TP Reserve Blade putter
