How this SeeMore and Garsen MAX Tour 15 Combo Became My New Gamer

By Jeff Walk — The Garsen Workshop  

To no one’s surprise, I am a tinkerer. I get genuinely excited when the OEMs drop their new lines, along with all the marketing promises that come with them. But at this year’s PGA Show in Orlando, standing on the massive putting green surrounded by the newest “must-have” gear, I had a realization.  

I am tired of chasing trends and hype. My bag for the 2026 season is not going to be designed around what’s trending on social media; rather, it will be the best possible fitted equipment for my skill set to give me the most repeatable results. That entire mindset starts with the most used club in the bag: the putter.  

Honestly, my bag has been all over the map lately. Just last season, I was rolling an Odyssey Ai-One Square2Square Jailbird with the Ai-One insert, outfitted with a custom Garsen MAX Odyssey grip and a 90 counterweighted Stroke Lab shaft. It was a great setup, but I was still searching. Even when I moved to my L.A.B. OZ.1i, I was experimenting with a Garsen MAX Pistol and a KBS GPS Tour 120 shaft. 

I’ve tested the best of the best, but those were all pieces of a puzzle I was still trying to solve. 

So, imagine the largest green you've ever putted on, double it, and then put it indoors—that is the putting green at the PGA Show. I was zig-zagging between vendors to shoot content for Garsen, with my camera gear under one arm and a few different putter builds from our booth under the other. I grabbed some traditional blades, high-end boutique options, commercially popular models, and a few head shapes that I personally like.  

I already had my putter picked out for the season. It was set. It was a brand-new, top-of-the-line putter sent to me by one of the major manufacturers. It will be one of the best-selling putters of the year, and it is fantastic. But then, I started to roll a SeeMore MDx MiniGiant fitted with a Garsen MAX 15.  

I am old enough to remember when the iPhone first came out and became the "must-have" device. I thought to myself: How did we ever function without this? Rolling that SeeMore/Garsen combo was my “iPhone moment.” Everything felt squared up. No manipulation, no head games, no fighting the stroke—just a pure, repeatable roll.  

Since I was in the middle of "tinkering season" with the rest of my bag, which we will do a deep-dive into in the next blog, I happened to have a sleeve of the golf balls I’ll be gaming this season in my backpack: the new 2026 Callaway Chrome Tour X. 

As a fitter, I am a huge advocate of the idea that the ball you play is just as important, if not more so, than the clubs in your bag. To ensure I wasn’t just caught up in the "PGA Show Magic," I put the SeeMore through its paces using my actual ball of choice. It did not disappoint. In fact, with my own golf ball in play, I was able to feel the nuances of the putter head even more clearly. 

The weight distribution of the MDx is rock solid. It doesn’t feel face-heavy or "loaded" in any one spot; it’s incredibly balanced. The putter is "balanced to plane," meaning it’s dynamically balanced throughout the stroke and naturally returns to square at impact. For my straight-back, straight-through stroke, it felt like a cheat code. 

I also really appreciated the slightly firmer feel and sound of the 100% milled face. I play a wide variety of courses, from firm, fast-running tracks to shaggy muni greens, and this face gave me perfect speed control without feeling mushy or overly harsh. 

After mulling it over, I asked SeeMore to send me over a SeeMore MDx MiniGiant without a grip and decided to go with a close relative of the Garsen MAX 15, the MAX Tour 15. It’s easily one of my favorite Garsen grips. The MAX grip worked for Henrik Stenson’s Open win at Royal Troon, so surely it could work for me. Right? Our entire MAX lineup, with its 45* angle positioned at the front, is designed to naturally tuck your elbows into your body and quiet your wrists. To me, it feels like it puts my whole body into a 'connected' state. I don’t have to think about my stroke; the grip just puts me there.  

Personally, I love the smooth, simple feel of the Tour series. It looks professional, clean, and is completely free of any distracting "static." But the choice to go with the 15-inch extended length wasn’t just about aesthetics; it was a technical necessity born out of a major shift in my mechanics. 

As I mentioned in my last post, I recently committed to a Left-Hand Low putting style to fix my inconsistent start lines and finally square my shoulders to the plane. The immediate problem I faced was space—I was literally running out of room on the grip. My lead hand was basically choking down onto the raw shaft. 

With the MAX Tour 15, I can move my hands up or down the grip without dramatically changing the swing weight or the "release" of the putter. It provides a level of flowbalance and counterbalancing that is essential when you're using a heavier head like the MDx. 

This year is about reliability. I know what I have, and I know my abilities. I also know I am working my tail off in every way to become a better golfer. I am done chasing the "flashy" retail hype; I’m chasing the feeling of a squared-up face and a ball that starts on its intended line every single time. 

If you’re a tinkerer like me, ask yourself: Are you constantly adjusting your stroke to fit your gear? Because once you find a setup that actually fits you, you’ll wonder how you ever functioned before it.
