Seemore Nashville Z1C Platinum

TECH:

Seemore has a patent on its Riflescope Technology alignment system, which it says adds confidence at address as golfers see when they’re correctly set-up. The Nashville is milled in the USA from stainless steel and Seemore reckons the putter is “balanced to plane”, which means it naturally wants to return square at impact.

WE SAY:

It’s really difficult to argue against a putting concept that’s helped Zach Johnson and Payne Stewart win Majors, so we won’t. We’ll actually go as far as saying we love the “hide the red dot” concept, which is behind all Seemore models. To putt well out on the course, you need to believe and buy into it. And that’s the bit all three testers struggled with. Hiding the red dot isn’t quite as easy as you think, that said, two testers holed a stack of putts with it from a midrange so there’s definitely something in the concept.

TOP GEAR VERDICT

Stroke balancing means the Z1C’S weighting naturally wants to keep the blade square to your target line, which is a nice bit of thinking you won’t find in most other putters. You absolutely have to get fitted to make sure the Riflescope alignment idea works for you.
