Sergio’s new TaylorMade Kia Ma Spider Blade putter
Sergio Garcia is boasting a new TaylorMade Kia Ma Spider Blade putter this week at The Players Championship.
It features a “bead-blasted” finish on the surface, with a steel PureRoll insert on the face, according to TaylorMade representative Jory Mendes.

TaylorMade’s PureRoll insert used in previous models consisted of 80 percent Surlyn and 20 percent Aluminum. Garcia’s is made of steel.
Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.
“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.

Looks like he’s already moved on from this putter. I saw him using a mallet today.

He brought 3 to Ponte Vedra. Said one ended up in the trash. This one? Don’t recall seeing it as he placed T2.

Like that Sergio receives some love from TM. He has putted not bad lately but one day he should stick with one putter for more then one saeson. That might help his consistency.

It’s pointless to ask anyone to vote on liking a putter without showing a picture of the putter from address.

Is it just me, or does that look super upright?

Makes sense as close as he stands to the ball when he putts.

Kia Ma is still associated with Taylormade? I thought they broke up years ago..
