TaylorMade Golf has today introduced the Spider GT family with four new additions to the Spider franchise: Spider GT, Spider GT Notchback, Spider GT Rollback and Spider GT Splitback.

“Innovation has long been the bloodline of the Spider franchise. From its optimized stability frame to its countless victories on worldwide tours, every Spider putter is designed to deliver pure performance. With Spider GT, we have created our most angular and most stable Spider ever using a new modern wing construction similar to other high stability Spider putters of the past. With the removal of weight from the center of Spider GT, we have unlocked higher MOI and more stability from every angle.” — Bill Price, Senior Director Product Creation, Putters & Wedge

Spider GT

The Spider GT features a lightweight 145g top plate made from 6061 aluminum, which eliminates excess weight in the middle of the putter and carries a short sightline for alignment.

Combined with the ultralight top plate, a first of its kind open frame multi-material design features two 90g steel side weights that push 82 percent of the putter’s total weight to the perimeter, all in design to provide extreme stability on off-center strikes.

The Spider GT top plate is crafted from lightweight aluminum for a premium look and increased durability compared to paint or PVD finishes. 

In addition, the Spider GT features a Pure Roll co-molded insert in design for improved forward roll and ball speed consistency across the face. Pure Roll is a firmer insert manufactured of black TPU urethane with silver aluminum beams at a 45 degree angle that seeks to improve topspin across the face.

Spider GT Notchback

Per TaylorMade, the Spider GT Notchback produces the highest MOI ever created by a mid-size mallet Spider.

The CG is positioned the farthest forward in design to make face rotation easier, while the putter features a lightweight 6061 aluminum body combined with strategically placed 86g dual tungsten weights on the outside (heel and toe), in design for excellent stability, forgiveness and distance control. 

In addition, an extruded then machined aluminum head creates a stout section of material behind the face insert in design to offer a confidence-inspiring strike along with excellent sound. Both the Spider GT Notchback and Rollback feature a tri-sole design to help golfers correctly set the putter square on the ground without changing the face angle.

Spider GT Rollback

The Spider GT Rollback features a classic half-moon design enhanced by a heavy tungsten rollbar for added perimeter weighting and increased stability.

Rollback seeks to offer confidence at address through a raised, curved center section that is the same width as a golf ball. This is designed to make it easy to center the ball in the address position, with three contrasting black sightlines also providing clear alignment to the hole.

The Rollback top design has a lighter anterior with a 232g cap crafted from anodized 6061 aluminum combined with the company’s first 80g tungsten stability bar that wraps around the back and side of the putter in a bid to offer added forgiveness and stability.

Spider GT Splitback

The Spider GT Splitback features a 304-stainless steel construction with geometric shaping and urethane foam strategically injected inside the putter head.

The split mass “winged” design allowed TaylorMade designers to redistribute mass around the perimeter of the putter in order to maximize MOI and stability. In this shape, a steel body is designed to naturally provide more perimeter weighting than an aluminum one.

Due to the high density of steel, the wing sections of the design needed to be partially pocketed out to remove excess weight. The chambers within the wings are filled with feel foam, similar to the SpeedFoam material used in P·770/P·790 irons. This helps fill the voids and damp vibrations in design for better sound and feel.

The Spider GT Splitback incorporates one of the standout features of Spider X with True Path, TaylorMade’s ball alignment and stroke visualization aid. While standing over Spider GT Splitback, True Path is highly visible and integrated into the head.

The contrasting white section, black sightline and arrow-shaped rear edge aims to help golfers visualize their putting stroke and ball path before even executing the putt.
