Sizemore Collection's XM-2 Putter debuts on Champions Tour

FRANKLIN, Pa. -- The newly formed Sizemore Collection, a company formed around a master craftsman, artisan, Chief Designer and Co-Founder, Bruce Sizemore, announced today that their flagship XM-2 Putter debuted this past weekend on the Champions Tour at the Administaff Small Business Classic in Spring, Texas. The XM-2 Putter with its Alignment Insert Management (AIM™) helped a veteran PGA and Champions Tour Professional clinch fifth place.

“We are thrilled. The company has invested years in developing the Sizemore Collection and to watch our XM-2 being used by a legendary professional who shot two inspiring rounds of -69 and -65 was amazing,” says Sizemore.

Several Champion Tour players put a putter by the Sizemore Collection into play this past weekend but the successful senior professional who claimed his second fifth place finish of the season used a standard XM-2 Putter to do it. The XM-2 offers golfers a wide variety of alignment and weighting options and this professional preferred the company Sizemore set-up with standard center weights, a finished length of 34” and stainless back weights.

The XM-2 features the first revolutionary advancement in modern putter design, AIM™, Alignment Insert Management. This patented and cutting edge technology sets a new standard in putter performance. It allows players to choose their alignment preference as well as optimize their speed and distance control with a set of interchangeable weighted end caps.

The XM-2 sports a triangular shaped mallet head with pronounced copper rail sight lines designed specifically for easy customization. To enhance optical or perpendicular focus, an alignment insert is simply removed and replaced with another optional alignment insert. At the rear of the putter head, two weighted end caps can be effortlessly replaced to accommodate for personal playing style and for various putting conditions.

As with the entire Sizemore Collection, the XM-2 has been engineered with the IND-X™ or cross-milled face finish which ensures an incredibly accurate face finish.

The state-of-the art design produced by the company’s patented computer-driven milling process guarantees optimal reliability with a true response on any or all points of the putter face. Even outside of the normal “sweet spot”, the IND-X™ face establishes a true roll and does not deflect a ball off-line.

“As a designer, I know that the XM-2 Putter will elevate any golfer’s putting performance. Its technological advancements assure that but to have this conviction validated on Tour is deeply satisfying,” adds Sizemore. “A couple of months ago Ken McDonnell, the Sizemore Tour Representative, took some proto-types of the XM-2 to the Jamie Farr Corning Classic and exactly like this weekend, several of the LPGA Professionals played the proto-types but one young player used the XM-2 to secure fifth place. It was her best finish of the season.”

The XM-2 by the Sizemore Collection was introduced on Tour in the summer of 2006 and it has already garnered two top-five finishes. A Sizemore designed putter has been used by over 30 PGA Tour Players from 2000 to the present. While using a Sizemore designed putter, over $6 million has been won on tour, with no endorsement fees paid.

The Sizemore Collection was launched to support Sizemore’s inspirations, to allow him the creative freedom to design putters that demonstratively outperform any other putter on the market and Sizemore’s visions became a reality. Within two years, he designed a patented cross-milled IND-X™ face finish, an alignment and weighting management technology AIM™, and four exceptional putters; the XM-1, XM-2, XB-1 and the
XB-2.

The Sizemore Collection is committed to helping golfers of all levels putt better. The vision is to use out of the box thinking combined with innovative materials and revolutionary designs to achieve this.
