What's the head weight of this old FGP?

riehlg · January 18

I've had this FGP for a long time (eBay steal for $35). It's certainly not the same as what's being sold currently by SeeMore since it has a different face. I think it might be a bronze or copper face based on the color and it developing a patina (small blue mark on the face). I'm thinking of replacing my trusty FGP that I have used for years because the one standing problem I have with it is the head feels light. I have the lightest grip I could find on it (Rosemark 1.25 LT which is only 35g) to try and make it feel like it has more weight at the head. I don't want to put lead tape on it and potentially mess with the weight balancing. I'm looking at replacing it with a Mini Giant FGP or maybe an mFGP but I want to make sure that I'm not just replacing it with something that actually weighs the same.

Such a gorgeous gamer. The OG was a very light head. Because it is a cast head they ranged from 315-325g +/-. Best way to get the head weight of your gamer is get the swing weight of the putter and length then send us a note at [email protected]. We can help. As for trying to get the same weight in a mini Giant FGP, this is going to be hard to do. We can try. Send us a note. Happy to help. (FYI - office has been closed for the last number of days because of snow/ice on the roads. Thanks for being a part of the SeeMore family. Again great gamer!!

Thanks. I was also getting some help from Alex via email since after I posted here, I decided to just submit a question through the site since this forum seemed a little dead as far as activity. Ordered an mFGP from another WRXer after Alex showed me the size difference between the FGP and the Mini Giant but recommended the Nashville mFGP Blade as a better alternative and got me a picture of the FGP vs mFGP at address and it's almost a perfect size match but just an increased head weight which I'm all for. I don't like mallets so having the same head size is going to be really nice! Might even be able to continue using my Orange Gator SeeMore cover too!

Got the putter a week or so ago. Loving the Nashville mFGP Blade. Haven't been able to roll it on actual grass but it feels great using it on my PuttOut mat. Got it regripped and did a custom paint fill. Do you know what kind of headcover this is? Would love to find a light blue one in the same style. Not a fan of the magnetic/velcro enclosure ones that don't cover the backside of the putter head.

Long time ago we had a head cover for the old FGP blade as a "clip". It was sold black and made from the previous company. When the new owners took over the company in 2007 they made a few "fancy" clip head covers like the one in the picture. We have an old bin of head covers but this one is not in it. Sorry. If for some reason the boys in the warehouse come across one we will follow back up with you. Sorry for not helping out more.

I'm actually just looking for either just a black one or a light blue one (I have the orange one and love it). The style just stays on so much better than velcro/magnetic enclosures. If you have some old ones floating around, I'd love to purchase one to take it off your hands!

Ok, will have the boys check the warehouse for one. Thanks.

@riehlg - Found a black clip-on head cover. Send Alex an email at [email protected]. He can send you a picture of it as well as cost and shipping. Thanks.
